Episode 11 – Redemption

In this weeks podcast we get a little more serious. We discuss my new baby girl, Kaylee Grace Furey, and how I’ve been dealing with a newborn for the last week. Mike discusses one of his musical projects, Tom Rogers, that he is doing with his brother Josh and our friend Sean.

You can find their previous record from a few years ago as well as some new recordings from their sophomore effort below.

Mike also discusses the state of live music and how smaller acts\local bands get the shaft when playing bars and clubs.

We also touch on the discrimination of gays which stemmed from a rather disgusting YouTube video we came across last week. You can find this video linked below but it is pretty hard to watch.

For our more nerdy topics we discuss the new batmobile, TNT’s proposed Teen Titans. Batman-on-Films Editor, Jett also takes some flak for his holier than though attitude lately.

Episode 10 – Clerks Fail (About Mike and Shaun)

This is an extremely short episode where Mike and myself give a little background on who we are, how we became friends and how this site and podcast came to be. We recorded it on August 16, 2014 but wanted to wait to release it since it was rather short and didn’t really go into what we usually discuss on Nerdsense. A good excuse to release it was came on September 11, 2014 when my daughter, Kaylee Grace Furey, was born so we had to postpone recording this weeks podcast. In order to keep with our weekly installments, it seemed a good of a time as any to release this.

We originally planned to record a commentary of Kevin Smith’s Clerks that day but about 20 minutes into the recording Mike looked at me and said “This isn’t working”. It clearly wasn’t as Clerks is a fairly dialogue driven movie which makes it hard to discuss when we’re reading subtitles.

Episode 9 – The Realization

In this weeks episode we are joined once again by our good friend Jason.

We don’t usually start each podcast with sad news but Joan Rivers passed away the day of recording so we felt the need to touch on everything she brought to the entertainment industry.

We also discuss recent casting news in the DC Universe. Dwayne Johnson will be playing Black Adam in the DC Movie Universe’s adaptation of Shazam!

We also have confirmation of the casting of Ra’s al Ghul in the DC TV Universe. Matt Nabber will be playing him starting with the 4th episode of the 3rd season of Arrow. We must say though, we are a little disappointed that it isn’t Liam Neeson. Mr. Neeson said in an interview the other day that he would love to reprise the role he made famous in Batman Begins.

Episode 8 – Bad Jason

In this week’s episode we make up for last week’s condensed episode. We discuss some articles that we found bashing the Nolan-verse Batman flicks in comparison to the Burton films. We dive into our take on all three Nolan Batman films, including how each of us would rate them in the order of watchability.

We also discuss a recent interview with Sir Ben Kingsley where he discusses the possibility of Trevor Slattery actually being the Mandarin and whether the actor is actually the facade. Link to original IGN article below.

Episode 2 – Batman (1966) Commentary

This is a commentary of the 1966 Batman movie starring Adam West and Burt Ward. We let the listener know when and where they should start the film if they would like to listen while watching. We recommend lowering the volume of the film’s audio track as to not interfere with the volume of the commentary track.
