HELP, WE’RE NERDS!

Help, We're talking Underrated disney movies!

Welcome back to Help, We’re Nerds Podcast, where you democratically (and quite passionately) decided that Atlantis is the most criminally underrated Disney film. 

Expect a nostalgia-fuelled ramble with Stargate gags, side-eye at Disney for neglecting gems like Treasure Planet and Onward, plus a deep dive into Milo’s quiet courage, Jim’s moody space angst, and Merlin being… well, Merlin.

By the end, you’ll have three films to rewatch and the sudden urge to yell at Disney: “Hey, remember your coolest movies?

Help, We're Talking Superman, Gunn's Masterpiece!

Welcome back, caped crusaders of couch commentary! On this episode of Help We’re Nerds, we laser-eye our way into James Gunn’s Superman—the DCU reboot that dares to say, “What if hope... but weird?” We’re talking Cavill flashbacks, Hoult glow-ups, and Nathan Fillion reminding us that even in space, sarcasm survives.

We dissect surprise cameos, nostalgic nods to Firefly and Arrow, and debate whether Gunn is building a cinematic Justice League or just assembling the coolest Comic-Con panel ever. Expect hot takes, cool capes, and absolutely zero chill.

So grab your Kryptonite popcorn and join us as we fly faster than a speeding plot twist through the mythos, the madness, and the multiverse. Because if you're into spandex, space drama, and overanalyzing fictional universes... this one's for you.

Help it's the Battle of the Sams: Unveiling the Ultimate Sidekick!

In this power-packed episode, we’re diving deep into the multiverse of storytelling to answer one critical question:
Who is the greatest Sam of all time?

🏹 Samwise Gamgee – The ride-or-die hobbit who literally carried Frodo (and the entire trilogy).
📚 Sam Tarly – The bookish badass who rewrote Westerosi history from the back of the library.
🕯️ Sam Winchester – The demon-slaying, apocalypse-stopping brother with a tortured soul and a laptop full of lore.

We break down what makes these Sams more than sidekicks—they’re the emotional cores, strategic brains, and sometimes the actual heroes of their worlds. From Middle-earth to Westeros to Supernatural Kansas, these legends prove that “Sam” might just be a narrative cheat code.

Expect debates, deep cuts, and the kind of nerdy tangents that would make even Gandalf say, “You shall not fast-forward."

HWN's Doctor Who Review 2!

Grab your sonic screwdrivers and set coordinates for one last adventure—because we're jumping headfirst into a wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey deep dive of Doctor Who’s second season under the Disney+ banner! 🌀

Join Me and the Nerds of the Round Table (Rob & Ashlea) as we dissect, and nerd out hardcore over every chronon-pulse of Ncuti Gatwa’s 15th Doctor in his final outing through time and space. From Skaro-level highs to fixed-point disappointments, we rate each episode out of 10 TARDISes (yes, it's a totally scientific unit of measurement).

🧠 Whether you're a fan of vortex manipulators or prefer a good old Type 40, this is your jam.

💥 And yes—tears will be shed, regeneration energy will flow, and we’ll say an emotional goodbye to the 15th Doctor as only true Whovians can.

👑 So fire up your temporal stabilizers and join us as we review the season that ends an era. Is it a regeneration triumph or a paradox gone wrong? You’ll have to listen/watch to find out!

Help, What Even is a Dragon?

In this episode, we dive into the fiery world of mythical beasts to explore the key differences between dragons and wyverns—and how pop culture keeps getting it wrong. From Hollywood blockbusters to hit TV shows, these creatures are often confused, mislabeled, or blended into one scaly stereotype.

We break down the defining traits: how many limbs they have, how they fly, and what truly separates a dragon from a wyvern in myth and fantasy lore. Plus, we take a cross-cultural journey comparing Western dragons—fire-breathing, treasure-hoarding monsters—with Eastern dragons, the wise, serpentine spirits of water and air.
