On the latest episode of Nerdsense, your hosts discuss the latest stories that you want to hear about: the official casting of Deathstroke in the DCEU.
We uncover even more evidence that Greg Berlanti does not sleep as we discuss his new television project, ‘Black Lightning,’ and his feature film project centered around Booster Gold.
Last but not least…the trailer for the new ‘Underworld’ sequel no one actually wanted.
All that and much much more on this latest episode of Nerdsense.
Cheers!

Oh yes! We got some Crusher by The Alchemist!
Style: Double IPA
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Flutes
Notes:The Crusher is an American Double IPA that I started making years ago at the old pub. Hop heads were constantly asking for more hops. So, in the words of Frank Zappa, “Did you say you want some more? Well here’s some more.” While I enjoy hops with the rest of them, I still try to maintain some semblance of balance and drinkability. This beer is oozing with hop flavor and aroma with a very dry finish. Enjoy responsibly, this one can sneak up on you. (9%)

This week, your drunken hosts get more drunk.
Seriously though, on the latest episode of Nerdsense, your hosts get drunk. In the meantime, though, they cover some of the relevant nerdy news items of the week, go on a few ridiculous tangents, and have a retrospective of Batman ’66, as the movie recently turned 50.
Honestly, give it a listen, we don’t go downhill till near the end. It’s funny. Trust us.
Cheers!
p.s
Stay tuned through the credits.
