Every week on New Wave Nerds, two friends dive deep into the sprawling worlds of comics, blockbuster films, and the latest video games.

You'll hear our unfiltered opinions on everything from superhero movie trailers and indie game gems to the enduring legacy of cult TV shows.

Whether you're a lifelong collector or just casually curious about the latest pop culture phenomenon, this podcast offers a welcoming, insightful, and entertaining space to geek out.
