Thu, 06 Jul 2023 14:11:00 -0000

Nerd Skool continues Infinity War! Artstar introduces a new segment called, “Now You Know” where he explains to us that Nick Fury and Captain America have the same birthday. Artstar also unleashes his theory that children are better at art than adults because they haven’t been ruined, and that might be why Shuri is smarter than Hulk and Iron Man. TBJ has certain parts awoken by Chris Evans with his beard and dark suit. Robert Downey Jr. & Tom Holland acting chops are also discussed, as well as comparing Iron Man to Spider-man acceptance of each actor. The faculty also discuss Ezra Miller’s major problematic streak. Red Skull appears in Vormir, so there is discussion on if Hugo Weaving plays this part or not. The team closes out the episode talking about Keanu Reeves and his love life and reputation.
