  Coyote .vs ACME: Exactly What We Wanted!

  Sep 8, 202612 min

  We went into Coyote vs. Acme hoping it wouldn’t ruin the Looney Tunes we grew up with—and came out wondering if it was one of the most purely enjoyable movies we’ve seen. From Wile E. Coyote’s ACME contraptions to Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, Pepe Le Pew and a lifetime of Saturday-morning nostalgia, this movie knows exactly what it is. No deep drama, no complicated twists—just an hour and a half of silly, beautifully executed fun. ️Please join our nonsense! oldnerdgenius on all the things

  Dragon Con 40th - 40th Podcast | Dragon Con Wrap-up!

  Sep 8, 202619 min

  For our 40th podcast, we’re wrapping up Dragon Con’s 40th anniversary after one exhausting, hilarious, unexpectedly meaningful weekend in Atlanta. We talk about the people who made the experience special, the wonderfully inclusive and nonjudgmental culture, the ribbon obsession, the physical toll of the con, Richard Dean Anderson, Waffle House merchandise, and why Dragon Con reminded us of the early Pokémon GO community at its best. We also thank the friends who gave us a home base during the weekend, revisit our new friends Clint and Hallie, welcome subscriber number 11, and start making plans for a return trip to Atlanta — including a possible guest-hosted “Best of Atlanta” episode. Bottom line: we went to Dragon Con expecting cosplay, celebrities, panels, and nerd stuff. We came home talking mostly about the people.
