S4E8 - Media that inspires us

Everyone has something that has inspired them in life. For some of us, it is inspiration to lead us into a career or simply how we exist. The Nerd Variety team is joined by guest Matthew Burton to discuss what media has inspired us in significant aspects of our lives.

S4E7 - Composers

We're not just nerds, we're musical nerds. From modern composers of various film and game soundtracks to the old school Classical, Baroque and Romantic eras, we talk about our favorite composers and pieces that we can't recommend enough!

S4E4 - Best and Worst Fictional Romances

Valentine's Day 2021 has come and gone! Some of us have romance in our lives and some of us have garlic bread, but we all have romances in our fiction. Josh, Hayden, and Hannah take a look at some of our opinions on the best and the worst romances in fiction to feel better or worse about our relationship status.

New and significant storylines in comics are happening all the time. Batmans get replaced, Captain Americas change sides, and other things happen in manga.

S4E2 - What characters do we relate to?

We always seem to connect more with a work of fiction when we relate to the characters, but is that necessarily a good thing? Learn more about the Nerd Variety team and how we feel about ourselves when we compare ourselves to some of our favorite characters.
