Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #18 Alameda Yellow Wolf Imperial IPA

This is the last of the Portland beers. It was a sad day. This week we dive in to Alameda Brewing’s Yellow Wolf Imperial IPA!

From Alameda’s site

With over 100 IBUs Yellow Wolf has enough eye-popping intensity to satisfy even the most ardent hopheads. It has bright piney nose and light golden color. We suggest pairing it with sunshine.

Nerdsense Episode 62 – Under the Red Hood

Another week, another step forward. We are almost there, ladies and gentlemen. Our tickets are purchased. Our seats are guaranteed. But we still have miles to go before we see Batman V Superman.

The train stopped at ‘Batman: Under the Red Hood’ this week, and we weren’t going to complain.

As we’ve done in previous weeks, we take apart the film, talking about the good and the bad, and have fun with it. We also take a look at some of the nerdy news, and discuss the latest episode of Legends of Tomorrow.

There is a heaping scoop of Nerdsense this week, so enjoy the latest pit stop on the our road to BvS. Cheers!

Nerdsense Episode 61 – The Pucker Factor

We are all about girl power today in the Nerd Den. It’s yet another pit stop on our journey to Dawn of Justice, and this time the hero has girl parts. In this episode, we deconstruct the 2009 animated film, Wonder Woman, giving the demi-goddess her just due.

This is the first ‘solo’ Wonder Woman film since 1974, and she fairs much better here.

Also, we take another look at the CWDCTVU, discussing most recent episodes of Arrow, Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow.

Spoilers: King Shark returns!

It’s all DC this week on the latest episode of Nerdsense, the best source online for all that is nerdy. Cheers!

Nerdsense Episode 60 – Who’s Your Daddy?

Holy crap folks! We are another step closer to BvS. This week the train stops at Bruce Timm’s ‘Superman: Doomsday,’ the first appearance of the titular villain on film. We get an abbreviated interpretation of the classic Death and Return of Superman storyline, and your humble hosts do their best to give you the skinny on the very first entry into the ‘DC Universe Animated Original Movies’ series.

Also covered, albeit briefly, is the DCAU, including Batman the Animated Series, Superman the Animated Series, Batman Beyond, etc.

Finally, Deapool was released right before Valentine’s Day and we let you know whether he stole our hearts, or not.
