Analysis of all the Onscreen Jokers

There have been many onscreen iterations of the Joker but I'm sure you're thinking of your favorite right now. Whether it's on TV, in a movie, or drawn on paper, Joker has come to life by the talents of many people. Mark Hamill, Heath Ledger, and Jack Nicholson just to name a few. 

John Mills of Aggressive Negotiations joins Tristan Riddell of Nerd Nuptial to discuss everything from quality of laugh to who would win in a Joker cage match.

Captain America: Civil War Commentary Track

The boys are back and at it again. Lee, Tristan, and Matt are all here to do a commentary track for one of the best Marvel films made so far. Captain America: Civil War tested the boundaries of friendship with these characters and during the discussion, you'll wonder if the hosts boundaries are pushed as well.

This was a great film and was so much fun to talk about. Listen while watching the movie or listen while driving your car. It was made with both types of audiences in mind.

Fan Reactions to Non-Traditional Casting and Whitewashing

Matt Hansen and Tristan Riddell touch on a very important yet sensitive issue this week. We've all seen how fans react when production companies change what some view as important qualities of a beloved character. Some show excitement, others with indifference, or some with pure hate and vile racism. We've seen Non-Traditional Casting more and more recently with comic book movies. Deadshot, Perry White, Heimdall, and now (possibly) Mary Jane Watson. Sadly, we've also have been seeing Whitewashing with movies like Exodus, Ghost in the Shell, and countless others.

This week they ask what does it matter to the characters and why do fans react the way that they do. They also direct these questions inward and discuss how they would react to Non-Traditional Casting with the characters who are most important to them personally.

Session 54 - Tailor Your Positivity

Internet Trolling and Staying Positive

​Tristan and Matt are back after their Las Vegas sojourn to discuss one of the more negative aspects of nerd culture: Internet vitriol and trolling. In the wake of Internet responses to reviews of Ghostbusters, Suicide Squad, and Batman v. Superman, they analyze why many people online respond to many nerd-related events in such a negative, dehumanizing manner. In doing so, they discuss ways in which people can combat the negativity through the tailoring of their own social media experiences. 

How do you deal with the harsh, negative reactions to nerd-related events on the Internet?
