Whoa! Two Nerdsense Drinks in 2 days?! We have a fairly large back log of videos in the queue and this was a one off I did by myself on a snowy day.

It’s just me doing a head to head of 2 Pale Ales from 2 different FANTASTIC Massachusetts breweries. I do a side by side with Night Shifts Whirlpool Pale Ale and Trilliums Launch Beer Pale Ale.

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.

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – Karibu Mamajuana

Whoa! We’re not having a beer?! That’s correct! Mike brought back from Mamajuana from his Punta Cana vacation!

Here is the Mama Juana definition from Wikipedia

Mama Juana is a drink from the Dominican Republic that is concocted by allowing rum, red wine, and honey to soak in a bottle with tree bark and herbs. The taste is similar to port wine and the color is a deep red.

The Punisher arrives in the Daredevil Season 2 trailer!

Netflix has released Part 1 of the first REAL trailer for Daredevil Season 2 this morning! Part 2 is scheduled to be released 10 days from now on February 25th.

From the looks of it, this seems to be the Punisher focused trailer. Given the tease at the end of this trailer, Part 2 could be focused on Matt’s old flame,  Elektra. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see!

The entire 13 episodes of Season 2 will debut on Netflix on March 18, 2016!
