Three Men and a Baby (1987)

Sun, 20 Mar 2022 19:54:20 -0000

We are finally back this week in episode 208 to continue the World's Longest Theme Month ever with Three Men and a Baby (1987). We continue our lovefest with all things THE GUTE with this cinematic masterpiece of adorable male ineptitude and whoring around. Peter, Jack, and Michael are three spinster men living together in a den of sin when one day, they receive two mysterious packages... a baby and some drugs. Watch as they try to decide which they should give to the goony henchmen and which they should learn to care for properly through the use of montages and females not helping out.

We apologize for the delay in episodes, but the world is fucked up and blanket forts are warm and cozy.

Short Circuit (1986)

Tue, 16 Nov 2021 23:58:17 -0000

In episode 207, Liz & Heather continue the fun of GUTE...whatever with Short Circuit (1986)! Tune in as we chat with our good friends, Steve and Izzy from Everything I Learned From Movies about this classic staring Ally Sheedy and a robot... and of course THE GUTE (Steve Guttenberg) and some unfortunate casting choices. Number 5 is struck by lightning and becomes self-aware and goes on a solo road trip, where he meets a woman who immediately thinks he is an alien, rather than a very obvious robot. Got to love the 80s!

Police Academy (1984)

Thu, 07 Oct 2021 04:12:00 -0000

It's finally GUTEtember... er... GUTEtober? Due to life and whatnot, our month-long love affair with Steve Guttenberg movies was delayed from September to October, but it's finally here! We are celebrating Liz's birthday with an entire month dedicated to unexpected 80s dreamboat, THE GUTE!! Week 1 kicks off with an absolute classic, 1984's Police Academy! But wait... there's more! We aren't alone in our love of all things Guttenberg! We are joined for this first episode with none other than the infamous and much loved Steve and Izzy from Everything I Learned From Movies!

The GUTE love all began a few years ago when Liz joined Stizzy for Zeus & Roxanne and we realized that he's kind of a hunk! We followed up with them last year with The Man Who Wasn't There, in which we got to see THE FULL GUTE! Go check out those episodes on their podcast on your favorite podcast app.

In this delightful, if incredibly problematic follows a class of cadets through the police academy, led by kindly adopted father to Punky Brewster, Henry Warnamont,,, uh, Comadant Lassard... and the much less delightful Captain Harris, as one tries to see the best in everything and a random fish, and the other has his head up a horse's ass...literally. We follow The GUTE as loveable scamp Mahoney, along with Jones, Tackleberry, Hightower, Hooks, Callahan, and more. Does it hold up? Let's find out!

Make sure to tune in for the rest of our GUTEtastic lineup coming to you soon!

Week 2: Short Circuit

Week 3: Three Men and a Baby

Week 4: It Takes Two

90s Reboots. Remakes & Reruns - LIVE from Comicpalooza 2021

Sun, 01 Aug 2021 20:40:10 -0000

This week, we are coming to you LIVE from Comicpalooza 2021 with a show from the floor on 90s Reboots, Remakes, & Reruns. This topic was inspired by Mario Lopez (who unfortunately had to cancel) and Mark Paul Gossalar attending the convention for a Saved By The Bell reunion panel. The audio isn't up to our usual standard since it was recorded on the convention floor next to other panels, but we wanted to share the fun. Next time, we will be back with a very special episode and our first Patreon Pick topic!!

Book Club: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix with Randy from Cult 45 Podcast

Sat, 03 Jul 2021 04:22:00 -0000

In episode 203, it is time for another Nerdy Bitches Book Club! Since we are reading another volume of Harry Potter, we once again bring in special guest "Random" Randy Savage from the Cult 45 Podcast!

This episodes gets a little political because apparently JK was ahead of her time when she shows the Ministry of Magic denying the truth and spreading lies to make themselves look better in the media. Of course you have to slander children in the process. So many parallels... so little time!

2020 is a Dumpster Fire - Part 4 - 2021 Edition

Tue, 22 Jun 2021 03:10:00 -0000

In episode 202, we sit down for the 4th part of our 2020 is a Dumpster Fire series. Yeah, we know it's 2021, but let's face it, 2020 is the year that will not fucking end. But along the way, we have learned a few things that we thought we would share. We are also trying to end on some positives, because we can't really stress over any of this shit anymore. Here are some lessons we learned:

Buying things online will often end poorly. BUT sometimes, what you end up with is fucking hilarious [see shark toy expectation vs. reality]
Bidets. Enough said.
Comfortable bras are life. And hard to find.
Watching upbeat, positive TV on a loop is the way to go. Some examples - Schitt's Creek, The Great British Baking Show, The Vanilla Ice Project, Ted Lasso, and more.
Finding things that bring joy - Golden buzzer moments, trips to Vegas with your dog...
Also, those people who have been crowing for years that they could survive the zombie apocalypse - the pandemic has proven that THAT is a lie... they were all taken out after a couple of weeks because they needed a haircut. Good job, Billy Bob.
We don't want to look like a Karen
Virtual gaming has been a life saver!
The "You can't work from home" company line is also a lie. We have shown that so many businesses couldn't
Black Lives STILL MATTER. This is still a major issue and we need to dig our heads out of our asses. Breonna Taylor's murders are STILL on the loose and nothing has been done to provide any justice.
Travel is opening back up again. We are excited for Comicpalooza coming up in July and we will get to see each other again for the first time in two years. We also have family coming to visit in the next couple of months.
Re-opening anxiety is real.

Music That Made Us

Fri, 04 Jun 2021 02:45:44 -0000

In Episode 201, Heather and Liz talk about all the Music they grew up with and just can’t live without.

Heather likes Rock, and Classic Rock, and Alternative Rock, and any other type of Rock not otherwise categorized here. Liz however, actually has some variety in her musical selections, from classic country, to hip hop, metal, and a bunch of artists Heather has never heard of.

Does it surprise you that Heather’s biggest influence as a child was The California Raisins? Then We get to our rebellious teens, and it just goes downhill from there! Just kidding we totally rock!

Outtakes and Bloopers

Fri, 14 May 2021 21:14:00 -0000

We are celebrating episode 200 today and having fun by bringing you our outtakes and bloopers reel of stories and outtakes that didn't make it to the final episodes, but we saved because they really need to be heard.

Heather has a full blown panic attack over the smallest of reasons that is stupid but funny... oh well the emotional scarring is done. Speaking of emotional scarring, wait until you find out what Liz plans on doing with her nieces on their next vacation to the Caribbean!

We cut out a lot of things that made us feel guilty because they were well...inappropriate. Well 200 episodes later we decided.... we are inappropriate. Why pretend anymore?

Guess what?.... Keanu is back.! And you can hear why Keanu Weeks was 2 years in the making from this clip from 2019.

And finally, a GIANT THANK YOU to all of our listeners who have kept us going over the years!

We Heart Food

Sat, 08 May 2021 03:53:00 -0000

In episode 199, We Heart Food! We talk a lot about food on the podcast, but we decided to dedicate a whole episode to it! Check out this article we discuss from Food Network - 50 States of Must-Try Foods - that talks about the one "must-try" food from every state. It might be that we agree... we may have our own ideas... and several states seem to be planning to kill Liz if she ever visits (which she won't).

The Matrix (1999)

Fri, 16 Apr 2021 01:23:00 -0000

We are in week 3 of Keanu Weeks and in episode 196 as we enter The Matrix. We remember The Matrix (1999) and its revolutionary bullet-time action sequences. Keanu Reeves was born for this title role and we love to watch Morpheus teach Kung Fu via neural download. There may have also been some leather pants discussion... I mean we can't ignore it. Oh and remember when when hackers exchanged data via Iomega Zip disks?

Speed (1994)

Fri, 09 Apr 2021 02:22:00 -0000

It’s another THEME MONTH!!! This time, we are celebrating Heather’s birthday with KEANU WEEKS – a whole month of Keanu Reeves movies!

We are in week 2 of Keanu Weeks and in episode 195, it is time to re-watch Speed! It looks like the plot holes remain unexplained but it is still a great show. And we might have noticed Keanu beefing up for this role as he plays a Bomb Squad officer with incredible leadership skills. Don’t forget we get to meet everyone’s favorite girl-next-door Sandy B!

Are you ready for explosions?! Because they blow up Elevators, Parking Garages, Buses, Planes, and Subway Cars… no transportation mode is safe.

Point Break (1991) with Everything I Learned From Movies

Fri, 02 Apr 2021 20:05:00 -0000

It's another THEME MONTH!!! This time, we are celebrating Heather's birthday with KEANU WEEKS - a whole month of Keanu Reeves movies! Happy Birthday to all of us! In episode 194, we dig into the terrible acting of Keanu as Johnny Utah in 1991's hit Point Break. It doesn't matter, Keanu can do no wrong... but being out-acted by Gary Busey has got to sting. And can you believe all this awesomeness was directed by Katherine Bigalow??

To kick off the month we spared no expense and brought in the movie (and beer) experts, Steve and Izzy from Everything I Learned from Movies. Get ready... Let's start Keanu Weeks!

WandaVision - Part 1 (Spoilers!)

Sat, 20 Mar 2021 06:58:00 -0000

In Episode 192, we sit down to talk about Marvel's WandaVision on Disney+! We had such a great time talking about it that we had to make two episodes! Make sure you tune in next week for the second half of the series and our final thoughts! This episode contains SPOILERS!!

This week, we look at the first half of the series, including the interesting and unexpected ways Marvel came at this series, especially since one of the characters did not make it out of the Infinity War in one piece. Episode 1 was set in a 1950s-style sitcom, which is something we have never seen before. Each episode moved forward to the next decade, so it is fascinating to watch unfold!

We notice comedies in general have otherwise been lacking and hope to see more female comedies in the future. What do you think, listeners?

Kill Bill Vol. 2 with Cult 45 Podcast

Mon, 01 Mar 2021 02:46:09 -0000

It's episode 190 and it is FINALLY HERE!! This week, we are covering Kill Bill Vol. 2 with our amazing friends at Cult 45 Podcast, Bdemdown and Random Randy Savage (who you may remember from several Harry Potter book club episodes and the Nerdy Butches takeover from 2020!). You may wonder why we aren't starting with Kill Bill vol. 1, and the answer is simple — we already did, over on the guys' show in 1492. You can find that episode here: Episode 91 - Kill Bill vol. 1 with Nerdy Bitches Podcast

We feel this episode needs a warning attached because you may laugh yourself to death. We didn't die, but it was a close call.

Listen in as we dive into the dramatic conclusion to an amazing first movie with all the crap they couldn't fit into said first movie. You will also find out who we feel is the REAL final boss battle, even though the movie disagreed.

Hamilton

Sun, 19 Jul 2020 00:54:51 -0000

Hamilton

In episode 174, Liz and Heather dive into the Disney+ release of Hamilton… finally!! This is a show that Liz had never seen, and was apparently the last person on Earth to do so. We talk about the music, the history, and the problematic parts of both the musical AND our country’s history. We also dive into the accessibility of the arts, how important they are to our society as a whole, and go on a rant about how much things HAVEN’T changed. Also, we need justice for Breonna Taylor. Now.

Note: We also have huge lady crushes on Daveed Diggs.

PS – Here is the commercial Liz was trying to remember – it’s for the Got Milk campaign!

Mistborn: The Final Empire

Fri, 10 Jul 2020 16:53:04 -0000

Mistborn: The Final Empire

This week the Nerdy Bitches book club is back in Episode 173. We review the first book in Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn series, The Final Empire.

Listen in as we talk about all about allomancy, 1000 years of tyranny, and eating metal. This was a new series for Liz and Heather prior to the recommendation, so we will talk about if we want to continue with the series.

Liz also shares a fan theory where the Golden Girls are drug dealers… so we will just leave that for your interpretation.

A big thanks to Steve from The Nerd Cantina for his Patreon pick! If you want to give us a topic to discuss, see our Patreon section below and sign up to help support the show today!

2020 is STILL a Dumpster Fire and We are NOT OKAY

Sat, 04 Jul 2020 00:23:50 -0000

2020 is STILL a Dumpster Fire and We are NOT OKAY

In episode 172, Liz and Heather are NOT OKAY… not even a little. We sit down after a very long time since we last recorded to update you on how things have progressed since our last dumpster fire episode. Spoilers: The dumpster has been moved to the dump, and now the entire dump is on fire.

We talk about the instability in the world, Black Lives Matter, racist dickbags, and how Liz nearly died (and not figuratively either). We also talk a lot about the importance of voting and how we can make a difference to be a better person every day and to remain allies to anyone we can.

Note: You will notice a VERY abrupt cut to commericals… and if you stick around after the end music, you will hear exactly what happened.

90’s Life Hacks

In episode 171, Liz and Heather sit down to talk about their favorite 90’s Life Hacks. Now you aren’t going to hear about our favorite apps or cloud backups… no you are going to hear how we life-hacked back in the 1990’s. When the internet was new, and pagers were a thing!

Listen in to find out what song Heather spent 11 hours downloading from Napster (hint: it is embarrassing) and what clothing style Liz desperately wants to bring back.

Mean Girls Month: Heathers (1989)

In episode 169, we wrap up Mean Girls month with 1989’s Heathers. In this episode Liz and Heather are joined by former teacher and current podcaster Sara Candela (From Bell to Bell).

The best part is.. Liz had not seen this movie prior to the podcast. So we got to talk about first impressions and misconceptions of what she had expected. What held up? What makes no sense? Also, why do rich girls wear double breasted blazers in California?

Listen in for the last movie in Mean Girls month, and we saved the most disturbed for last.

Lanie has been a counselor to teenagers so she give us the hands-on experience and how it compares to Mean Girls.

Listen in for the laughs this week, as we re-cap the drama in the movie… and maybe a little on our real life drama. Who knows… maybe we are the mean girls after all?

Mean Girls Month: Carrie (1976)

Mean Girls Month: Carrie (1976)

Mean Girls — Carrie (1976)

It’s Mean Girls Month! All April we are going to celebrate the trope of the Mean Girls in High School. The bitches we love to hate.

In Episode 166 we go back to the 70’s where mean girls thrived… especially in this high school. Unfortunately those mean girls don’t realize they are bullying an emotionally unstable girl who can impale you with random objects using only her mind. Yes we know that Carrie is a horror movie, but we can’t ignore the trope.

Listen in and spend some laughs … and screams… with the Nerdy Bitches as we review Carrie.

2020 is a Dumpster Fire

What a year this week has been! In Episode 164, we sit down to talk about how 2020 is a Dumpster Fire. We are practicing social distancing (which is what we prefer to do anyway), not hoarding toilet paper, and eating ALL the Little Debbie snack cakes. Listen in as we do a 1st Quarter review on this shitty year. We are just getting started, y’all.

In the second half of the show, Heather shares an article letting us all know about the best streaming watches that won’t provoke your anxiety!

Slang From the Last Decade

So we did a thing… and talked about our favorite common slang from the last decade and IT WAS EVERYTHING. We also made sure to talk about the phrases we want to yeet in the last decade—did we say that right? Probably not.

Book Club – Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett

Fri, 18 Oct 2019 05:05:05 -0000

Book Club – Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett

We’ve been talking about it… and here it is! In Episode 149, Liz and Heather discuss our next Book Club – Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. We discuss both the book and the mini-series available on Amazon Prime.

The book description reads:

According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world’s only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner.So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon—both of whom have lived amongst Earth’s mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle—are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture.And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist . . .

How much do we love Aziraphale and Crowley? A ton! [Spoiler Alert]

Listen in as we discuss the book and the series. But don’t worry if you have only seen the series, you won’t be left out. We also dive into the casting choices, and the phenomenal work by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman in bringing this story to us.

You can buy the book HERE and you can get the series on Amazon Prime or HERE.

Shower Thoughts

Fri, 11 Oct 2019 05:05:21 -0000

In Episode 148, Liz and Heather uncovered a list of 20 thought provoking ‘Shower Thoughts’. The term is coined by Reddit, but we feel they are more accurately described as ‘Stoner Thoughts’.

And don’t miss their imaginary pitch session for Die Hard, another Nerdy Bitches tangent for the ages! There is speculation that it may have started out as a porn title, but was later changed to an action Christmas movie to make it mainstream.

What are your favorite Shower Thoughts? Do any of these make sense? Let us know in the comments.

Shark Month Bonus Episode – The Meg

Fri, 04 Oct 2019 05:05:10 -0000

SHARK MONTH BONUS EPISODE – THE MEG (Where we actually talk about The Meg)

In episode 147, we are bringing to you a listener request – so we have Shark Month Bonus – The Meg (Where we actually talk about The Meg!). In our first episode on this movie, we had Stefanie Brendl, Executive Director of Shark Allies, on the show to talk about the movie in general and get more information on sharks. We did not do an in-depth review of the movie, so we had several listeners request that we do. So, we did!

In this episode, Liz and Heather take a 12,000 meter dive into 2018’s The Meg, staring Jason Statham and His Abs, It was a lot of fun to talk about on this level, so we hope you enjoy!

Shark Month Week 4 – Sharknado & Top Things We Learned From Shark Month

Alas, Shark Month is drawing to a close with Episode 146: Shark Month Week 4 – Sharknado & Top Things We Learned From Shark Month! Liz and Heather sat down to watch Sharknado for the first time and man… was it something!! Our biggest questions was HOW are these movies STILL being made??

If you are unfamiliar with the glory that is Sharknado, here is a quick peek:

When a freak hurricane swamps Los Angeles, nature’s deadliest killer rules sea, land, and air as thousands of sharks terrorize the waterlogged populace. – IMDB

So… you already know it is going to be a hot mess. What we did not expect is that it would also be comedy gold…whether it intended to be or not!! Listen in to find out all of our thoughts on the movie and then stick around to hear the top things we learned during Shark Month.

Fri, 20 Sep 2019 05:05:30 -0000

Shark Month W3 – The Meg with Stefanie Brendl from Shark Allies & Top 5 Reasons Its Your Fault If You’re Bitten By a Shark

In our third week of Shark Month, we are excited to bring you The Meg with Stefanie Brendl, Executive Director of Shark Allies. In episode 145, we sit down with Stefanie to learn all about her organization, how to protect sharks, and all the reasons it’s you’re fault if a shark bites you! Shark Allies is our charity of the month, and you can find our fundraiser on our Facebook Page. We are looking to help raise funds for this small, grassroots organization focused on changing laws and policies to help ban shark finning in the United States. Please consider donating to this awesome cause!

Photo captured by Elizabeth Blessitt Photography. Do not copy or redistribute without written permission from the owner.

We talk with Stefanie about what’s really on a shark’s menu (HINT: It ISN’T humans!), and we talk about the likelihood of real life Meg and Sharknado situations. We also cover The Meg (2018) with Jason Statham and his glorious chest.

Shark Month W2 – Deep Blue Sea & Top 5 Fun Shark Facts

Sun, 15 Sep 2019 05:05:12 -0000

Shark Month Week 2 – Deep Blue Sea (1999) and Top 5 Fun Shark Facts

This week we continue Shark Month with a hilarious look at Deep Blue Sea! Liz and Heather talk about the crew of the ill-fated shark research facility, and why it is not a good idea to try and make a shark smarter.

We wonder aloud why warning signs do not concern anyone. The sharks shut off the security cameras, oh well that’s a weird quirk, continue on your job.

We also speculate why everyone is an absolute dick to the big boss that signs all their paychecks the first time they meet him. Don’t worry, I am sure the big fat-cat money bags boss survives the film.

Liz enlightens us with 5 cool shark facts that no one really knows. Why does the number one type of shark to bite actually bite (hint: it’s NOT due to mistaken identity)?

We are also taking this opportunity to not only talk about shark movies and sharks, but our goal is to do a little good in the world and work on shark conservation, as well! We are teaming up with Shark Allies, a non-profit organization that is working to eliminate the horrible practice of shark finning. Nerdy Bitches is raising funds for the organization on our Facebook page, so make sure you check that out. Even a couple of bucks can make a big difference! You can go to SharkAllies.com to learn more about them and see how you can help! We will be having a special guest on the show this month to tell us more!

This & That Vol. 2

This ‘N That Vol. 2

In episode 142, we are getting ready to transition to Shark Month for the month of September, but in the meantime, we are going to cover a little of this & that. Basically, we collected news pieces that are not long enough for a full episode, but yet still need to be discussed.

And boy did we explore some INTERESTING topics, including a PUBLISHED author who thinks that women store their drivers license and cash in their vagina. Showing ID at the bar just got super-awkward.

Additional topics include why you don’t want to be on an airplane with Martha Stewart, where you can find Designing Women, and why Liz might be running off with Sean Patrick Flanery. You know, just your typical newsworthy classy shite — notice we used the Irish pronunciation as would be expected of Connor MacManus, played by our new show-boyfriend, Sean Patrick Flanery. (Liz just requests that you NOT send a cat as a wedding present… and if you have seen the movie or listened to our Boondock Saints episode, you will know why!)

Batman HUSH: The Movie

Batman HUSH: The Movie

It seems like just yesterday we were SO excited that DC was going to make an animated movie of Hush. Now that we have seen it, we may be a little less excited, but hey Batman is Batman right?!

Join Heather and Liz in episode 141 where we discuss the differences between Hush the comic (with the amazing work of Jim Lee and Jeph Loeb) and Hush the animated movie. Full disclosure, they changed a lot so even if you have read the comic you aren’t entirely spoiled on the movie. But you will have some Spoilers by listening to this podcast, so be prepared!

Also, Catwoman has a potty mouth – another reason why she will always have our heart.

In standard Liz and Heather fashion, we go little off topic in the recommendations portion of our show, discussing hot guys in funny (but stupid) movies… and why we love them.

In fact, Liz discusses her love of smut, and how a smutty vampire series brought Heather and Liz together as friends the first time they met!

Listen in for our favorite series recommendations, including chick-lit, historical fiction, mysteries on a Native American reservation, detective stories, vampires, and dinosaurs!

We talk through some of the upcoming Marvel/MCU news, the beginning and endings of several television series, including Ruby Rose’s Batwoman, and the end of Arrow, and our hatred of convention panel lines.

TV Nostalgia: the 1980’s (Part 2)

Fri, 26 Jul 2019 05:05:08 -0000

TV Nostalgia: the 1980’s – Part 2

We come back to Episode 137 with the second half of our 1980’s TV nostalgia. This week we talk 80’s sitcoms and dramas. Who remember’s Designing Women and Empty Nest? This time Liz and Heather play catchphrase again, but with an added monotone twist.

We go way back to a time when the Cosby show didn’t make you cringe, and one of the best shows on TV was Roseanne. Those were the days.

TV Nostalgia: The 1980s (Part 1)

Fri, 19 Jul 2019 05:05:50 -0000

TV Nostalgia: the 1980’s – Part 1

In Episode 136 Liz and Heather talk about our new ‘Nostalgia’ series. This week, we take on Television from the 1980’s! There is just too much to talk about, so we broke this into Part 1 and focused on Theme Songs and Saturday Morning cartoons from the 1980’s.

Play along with Liz’s version of ‘Catchphrase’ where she lists famous sitcom quotes and Heather takes a stab at guessing them. Cowabunga Dude!

Of course you can’t talk about Children’s programming without the discussion of Punky Brewster and her need to increase her bust – one of your cohosts actually bought the same Punky Brewster bust enhancing contraption. Listen in to find out who.

The Sequel was Better

In Episode 135, Heather and Liz set out to discuss all the times we felt the sequel was better! We take a look at movies, books, and television spin-offs to see when the next in the series surpassed the original!

We may disagree from time to time on what we consider to be a “true” sequel, but there is no doubt that all of our picks were better than the original! Fight us!!

Independence Day: Director’s Cut (Flashback to Episode 69)

Thu, 04 Jul 2019 05:05:02 -0000

Independence Day (Nerdy Bitches Director’s Cut)

Happy 4th of July!! This week, we wanted to flashback to our Independence Day Classic Movie Review! We went through and edited it down to a more reasonable time-frame (the first one was nearly 2 hours!) and cut out some of the current event things that are now old news if you don’t have a time machine set for 2017. We will be back next week for a brand new episode!

In this episode, Liz and Heather got together to record the Classic Movie Review of Independence Day with Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum. We originally covered this classic because Mary McDonnell was coming to Comicpalooza in 2017.

Captain America: The First Avenger

Fri, 28 Jun 2019 05:01:00 -0000

In episode 134, Liz and Heather talk about the movie that brought Steve Rogers to life! Captain America: The First Avenger is discussed as we celebrate the Fourth of July in style! Kick back and enjoy… that ass! What ass? AMERICA’S ASS, of course!

In 1941, the adorably puny, but kind-hearted Steve Rogers wants to do his duty and serve his country during World War II. After multiple failed attempts, he is given a chance to prove his worth. He is selected to become America’s first super soldier, thus Captain America was born. He, along with the Howling Commandos, fight the forces of Hydra, the Nazi deep science division, led by Red Skull. When the enemy threatens the safety and freedom of the entire world, will Cap have what it takes to put aside what the wants to save the day??

SPOILERS: In addition to talking about Captain America: The First Avenger, we will be talking about Steve Rogers/Captain America throughout his storyline within the MCU, which means there will probably be some spoilers for other Avengers and Captain America movies. We tried to keep the Endgame spoilers to a minimum, but no promises.

The Women of Villainy

Fri, 21 Jun 2019 05:01:04 -0000

The Women of Villainy

In episode 133, we introduce a new series called ‘The Women of…’ where we look at different genres, fandoms, and areas, to explore the women in them. A randomizer picked ‘Villainy’ out of all of our potential topics, and Heather and Liz had much to say. In fact, we determined that all female villains fall into 1 of 2 categories:

* Evil Through and Through with no redeemable qualities* Justifiably homicidal, she has reason to be why she is the way she is.

So as we explored each villain, we judged them as being ‘Justifiable’ or ‘Pure Evil’. There is a villain that Liz considered so irredeemable she dropped the c-word numerous times to describe her. Curious? Listen in.

We have some serious feelings on popularity, P.E. classes (and their uselessness), and think that Russell Simmons’ Dancing to the Oldies should really be the next big Nerdy Bitches Podcast product!

Does It Hold Up? Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead

Fri, 31 May 2019 05:05:48 -0000

In episode 130, we bring you the new series, ‘Does it Hold Up?,’ where we re-visit some of our favorite movies as children and teenagers, then decide if we still love them in present day and from adult eyes. What’s not to love about Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead? Was it the MC Hammer Pants and severe shoulders of the early 90s? Maybe… but Liz and Heather went down memory lanes with some of their favorites from the era. Does anyone remember Units? (Hint: think modular clothing)

Also remember fax machines? Holy crap!

And when HR didn’t require job interviews or identification before you were hired? No… us either.

Listen in as we reminisce and ask… Does it Hold Up?

Book Club – Thrawn Alliances by Timothy Zahn (Star Wars)

Fri, 03 May 2019 05:15:25 -0000

In this episode (126), it’s time for another Book Club featuring Thrawn Alliances by Timothy Zahn (Star Wars). This is the second book in Zahn’s Thrawn trilogy. We covered the first book in 2018 (see HERE). Listen in as we dive into the book and its greater implications into the Star Wars universe. *Spoiler Alert*

Book Club: Thrawn Alliances by Timothy Zahn (Star Wars)

“I have sensed a disturbance in the Force.”Ominous words under any circumstances, but all the more so when uttered by Emperor Palpatine. On Batuu, at the edges of the Unknown Regions, a threat to the Empire is taking root—its existence little more than a glimmer, its consequences as yet unknowable. But it is troubling enough to the Imperial leader to warrant investigation by his most powerful agents: ruthless enforcer Lord Darth Vader and brilliant strategist Grand Admiral Thrawn. Fierce rivals for the emperor’s favor, and outspoken adversaries on Imperial affairs—including the Death Star project—the formidable pair seem unlikely partners for such a crucial mission. But the Emperor knows it’s not the first time Vader and Thrawn have joined forces. And there’s more behind his royal command than either man suspects.In what seems like a lifetime ago, General Anakin Skywalker of the Galactic Republic, and Commander Mitth’raw’nuruodo, officer of the Chiss Ascendancy, crossed paths for the first time. One on a desperate personal quest, the other with motives unknown . . . and undisclosed. But facing a gauntlet of dangers on a far-flung world, they forged an uneasy alliance—neither remotely aware of what their futures held in store.Now, thrust together once more, they find themselves bound again for the planet where they once fought side by side. There they will be doubly challenged—by a test of their allegiance to the Empire . . . and an enemy that threatens even their combined might.

Batman – The Dark Knight Movie Series

Fri, 26 Apr 2019 05:15:56 -0000

In episode 125, we wrap up Batmonth – we end it on top with Batman done right! Christopher Nolan makes an as-close-to-perfect Batman series as we can ever hope to get (ok ok Heather is obviously the one writing this post – it doesn’t make it less true).

There are some spoilers in this episode, but hey… we all know the origin story of Batman (and most of the villains) by now right?

We talk about the actors playing the key roles, and how well (or not) they played each character.

It was evident that this series was a complete turnaround from the previous Tim Burton/ Joel Schumacher series (although we did miss the gratuitous butt/crotch shots when suiting up). Listen in as we talk (well Heather gushes, and Liz talks) about Nolan’s vision and the DC legacy.

Batman – Hush (Comic)

Fri, 19 Apr 2019 05:02:03 -0000

Batman – Hush

In Episode 124, Heather and Liz take on one of the most popular runs of Batman, Batman Hush by Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee. This was quite the undertaking with 12 individual comics and about 1300 villians all playing a part in the Hush mystery.

We talk about the impossibilities of showing boobs, butt, and face all pointing forward at the same time, and learn that Superman is not invulnerable to Poison Ivy’s lure. While things are getting saucy, Catwoman gets under-the-cowl (ooh lala) in this rendition and we learn that Batman is not a great boyfriend.

Join us as we dive into the mystery of Hush… who is he/she?…will the World’s Greatest Detective figure it out in time? Spoiler…he does not.

We are getting ready for Comicpalooza next month and want to see you there! It is May 10-12 at the Houston GRB Convention Center — we will post updates with where we are during the day so you can track us down!

Batman – 1989 Tim Burton Series

Fri, 12 Apr 2019 03:34:52 -0000

Welcome to Week 2 of Batmonth! In Episode 123, we look into the movie series that sucked us in! Warner Bros. rebooted the Batman franchise with Tim Burton directing the first live action Batman in over 20 years. Batman (1989) gave us Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne/Batman and Jack Nicholson as the Joker. The sequel, Batman Returns, shows us the not-so-catburgler-like Michelle Pfeiffer kicking some Bat Ass and taking Names. We also learn that Liz has some difficulty relating to the character of Penguin…hmm, curious as to why that is?

We don’t stop there. We include for your listening pleasure the unparalleled Joel Schumacher films in the series as we discuss crotch-shots, man-nipples and… oh yeah… there is some Batman talk in there too.

Liz and Heather get a little silly reminiscing about the campy themes, leotards, and outfit-coordinated henchmen. I mean, how does one recruit an entire hench-mob team of hockey players to do ones bidding?

Listen in for the results on our Twitter polls

* Which movie is your favorite this series?* Who’s your Alfred?

Last week they announced Grant Gustin (CW’s The Flash) and we are crazy excited to see him there. And we can’t forget that the always-naughty always-hilarious Captain Jack (aka John Barrowman) will be there! Heather has been brainstorming potential photo-op poses ever since she heard.

Next Book Club Selection

Also remember that we are reading STAR WARS: Trawn: Allainces for our book club in May. This is the second book in the Thrawn Series, and Timothy Zahn will also be a Comicpalooza. So much to look forward to!

Batman – Mask of the Phantasm and The Animated Series

Sat, 06 Apr 2019 04:26:40 -0000

Welcome
to BATMONTH!

The month of April is officially BATMONTH on Nerdy Bitches Podcast, and this week we get rolling with Batman Mask of the Phantasm and the Animated Series! Episode 122 has us asking if these iconic Batman animated adventures hold up—of course they do!!

SPOILER Warning: Our Review of Mask of the Phantasm contains some spoilers.
However, we do not spoil the WHOLE Movie, so there is plenty to watch if you
haven’t seen it yet. The bigger issue is Why haven’t you seen it yet? It’s
iconic Batman!

Mask of the Phantasm & Batman the Animated Series

Mask of the Phantasm may not have
come out chronologically first, but this is the origin story that we all asked
for … and not the one they keep telling us (we know already… stop killing
the Waynes on repeat).

We also explore The Animated Series.
How TAS is the entry point for many in terms of Gotham, Villians, and the Bat
Family.

Batman the Animated Series
introduces us to detective batman. The noir retro stories and art deco
backdrops enhance the vibe. We love noir Batman!

Coming Soon on Nerdy Bitches…

* NEXT WEEK: Tim Burton’s Batman movies* NEXT BOOK CLUB Selection: Thrawn: Alliances by
Timothy Zahn* COMICPALOOZA: May 10 – 12 at George R. Brown Convention
Center in Houston, Texas!! (BTW – they just announced Grant Gustin -SQUEE
The FLASH IS COMING TO COMICPALOOZA people!!!)

In this week’s episode (Episode 121), Liz and Heather pull back the curtain on the podcast to talk about some of the things that we have missed or forgotten on previous episodes… And Another Thing!

We go on to mention some episodes we lost completely, and what we will be doing in the coming months!

And Another Thing…

* We completely forgot to mention when John Hurt died. Sadness.* We forgot (even though we planned to talk about it) to mention the latest Stan Lee cameo from Captain Marvel, along with the tear-jerking memorial logo at the beginning of the movie. So many feels!! (Rest in Peace, Stan!! EXCELSIOR!) * Lost episode #1 – Batman vs. Superman: Extended Cut* Lost episode # 2 – Justice League (fuck off, Zac Snyder)* Lost episode #3 – Independence Day (we did record this one…)*

Captain Marvel

Fri, 22 Mar 2019 05:11:29 -0000

In Episode 120—Captain Marvel, Heather and Liz are sitting down to talk about the most recent release from the Marvel Cinematic Universe! Warning: This episode contains SPOILERS for Captain Marvel… like all of them.

Captain Marvel – Movie Review

Again, this review is FULL of spoilers (and our own opinions!), so continue at your own risk.

Man, we love a good Marvel movie AND a female-led movie! What a great blend of the two!! We sat down shortly after the movie was released to talk about this awesome flick and why there’s so much hate aimed at it by the trolls and haters.

We loved Vers and her strength, Sam Jackson and his love for the floofy kitty, and Captain Tight Pants and his… well… tight pants. And Annette Benning’s dick.

We talk through the movie from beginning to end and everything in between.

One thing we did miss (and we don’t know how because it was in our notes!!) talking about was the tribute to and cameo of the late, great Stan Lee. We got teary within the first 2 seconds thanks to that amazing Marvel logo tribute to Stan the Man. Also, his cameo on the train while reading and practicing his lines for a cameo in Kevin Smith’s Mallrats was not only amazing, but opened the door for Stan to actually exist within the MCU AS Stan Lee (and now welcoming Kevin Smith in). As the creator(ish) of Marvel Comics… to be known in your own creation is baffling and amazing. It kind of makes our brains hurt to think about.

Moms in Pop Culture with Jennifer Tracy of MILF Podcast

Fri, 15 Mar 2019 04:09:45 -0000

Episode 119 – This week Liz and Heather talk about Moms! We are joined by Jennifer Tracy of MILF Podcast (that’s Moms I’d Like to Follow!!!) and we dive deep into common tropes and stereotypes of mothers in pop culture, as well as a frank discussion on representation in media, mom cliques, and doggy surnames for those of us who are dog moms.

We were lucky enough to be joined by Jennifer Tracy who has an amazing podcast. Her backstory—and podcast origin—brings great insight to the world of Jennifer.

“The rich, complex, and sometimes messy lives we lead as women lead us to birth the most amazing stories and telling women’s stories is at the heart of everything I do. It’s why I created the MILF Podcast, it’s why I’m a novelist, and it’s why I’m driven to bring women together and create powerful connection and community with them. (I also like to push boundaries, which is why I chose the male-coined acronym MILF as the name of the show. Not only did I want to turn MILF on its head, reclaiming and redefining our sexuality as women with children, but I also had a deep desire to embolden femininity in its most powerful form (creating and sustaining life) and the fierce strength of that which translates to so many other creative forms.) “Jennifer Tracy – MILF Podcast

Taking advantage of having a media mom on the show, we talked about common tropes and cliches that are represented in pop culture.

* Absurdly Youthful Mother – looks too young to have had her children * Acts Too Young Mom – wishes she was still a teenager* Almighty Mom – succeeds in telling off anyone, even the worst antagonists* Ambiguously Absent/Missing Mom – a character has an absent mother, but it is never addressed or discussed* Perfect Mom – prepares gourmet meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and has perfect EVERYTHING* Smother – All up in her kid’s business* Dead parents* Wine-swilling mom* Martyr Mom – gives up everything willingly for her children* Best Friend Mom

We talk these tropes and more often real life stereotypes of moms and non-moms alike. We also give some fun examples of these stereotypes in action in pop culture, as well as take a Zimbio quiz to decide which TV mom we each resemble! Yes, Liz and I did fall into a few stereotypes of the dog-mom as we discuss the detailed and elaborate naming of our dogs.

Convention Time – Small Con Overview with Gallifrey One and Owlcon

Fri, 08 Mar 2019 11:00:22 -0000

Episode 118 – This week Heather and Liz discuss the beginning of con season with a review of their recent conventions. Heather attended Gallifrey One (Gally1 for those in the know) and Liz found out about Rice University’s Owlcon.

Two small cons, with two unique vibes.

Liz and Heather discuss the benefits of checking out local and smaller cons.

Gallifrey One is a non-profit Doctor Who convention held every year in LA. It has a capped attendance and always sells out.

While, Owlcon is a student run convention that focuses on games. Attendees play games, learn new ones, and (of course) shopping.

This week, Liz recommends a new game she found at Owlcon; 7 Wonders. (Click to buy!)

You are the leader of one of the 7 great cities of the Ancient World. Gather resources, develop commercial routes, and affirm your military supremacy. Build your city and erect an architectural wonder which will transcend future times.

Books That Made Us

Fri, 01 Mar 2019 03:59:51 -0000

In this episode (117), Liz and Heather discuss “Books That Made Us.” This includes books from when Tiny Baby Liz and Tiny Baby Heather were young girls who loved reading! See what differences there are, even though they are the same age(ish).

Note: iTunes/Apple has changed their structure so we are no longer able to put the episode numbers in the show titles. Sorry about that…we know it’s a pain in the ass.

Books That Made Us

Long before we began the Nerdy Bitches Book Club, we were kids who loved to read just about anything we could get our hands on, including shampoo bottles! We are also noticing just how much where you live affects what you read or study in school. Apparently, Utah and Texas are worlds apart! Some of our joint favorite authors/series included:

* Beverly Cleary’s Ramona books* Judy Blume’s coming of age tales (all of them)* The Babysitter’s Club by Ann M. Martin (Here is the blog Liz mentions, but there are a bunch of them out there!)* Sweet Valley Twins/High by Francine Pascal* …and more!

Links to Books/Movies Mentioned

Here are Amazon links to the specific books we mentioned if you decide you want to pick one up. Full disclosure: these are affiliate links, so if you purchase, they will throw us a few pennies and it doesn’t raise the price for you at all. So buy some books, m’kay?

* Wayside School is Falling Down by Louis Sachar* Ramona the Pest by Beverly Cleary* Dear Mr. Henshaw by Beverly Cleary* Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark by Alvin Schwartz* Goosebumps by R.L. Stine* Doctor Who: The Twelfth Doctor Complete Year One by Titan Comics (coffee table book)* Star Wars: Women of the Galaxy by Chronicle Books (coffee table book)* Fudge Box Set by Judy Blume* Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret by Judy Blume* Blubber by Judy Blume* Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great by Judy Blume* Dark Disciple by Christie Golden (*Nerdy Bitches Book Club Selection)* Leia, Princess of Alderaan by Claudia Gray* Ahsoka by E.K. Johnston* The Face on the Milk Carton by Caroline Cooney (And yes, it was a TV movie: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113008/)* The Indian in the Cupboard by Lynne Reid Banks* Disclosure by Michael Crichton (this is the shitty book Liz stopped reading)* Amelia Bedilia by Peggy Parish* Guardians of the Galaxy (movie)* Go Ask Alice and Jay’s Journal by Anonymous * Nancy Drew by Carolyn Keene* The Boxcar Children by Gertrude Chandler Werner* Encyclopedia Brown by Donald J. Sobol* The Babysitter’s Club by Ann M. Martin (series)*

Episode 116 – Worst Advice EVER

In this episode, Heather and Liz pick apart the WORST ADVICE EVER given (commonly!) to the people of the interwebs, our lovely listeners, and ourselves. Send us a note after the episode to let us know YOUR worst advice ever received!

Worst Advice EVER
This week, we dig into an article written by a dude examining a tweet written by a woman, and we take it even further. We also asked our awesome followers on social media to chime in with the worst advice they have ever been given… and how common these little tidbits are in our everyday lives. Have you heard any of the following?

* Natural childbirth is the best!
* You should have kids for the tax write off!
* Just be yourself!! (Seriously… don’t.)
* It’s always in the last place you look!
* Just think positively!!

Episode 115- BOOK CLUB: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Fri, 15 Feb 2019 06:15:04 -0000

In this episode, we cover our next installment of the Book Club with Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban! We have a very special guest on this episode; Random Randy Savage of Cult 45 Podcast! It’s also a special occasion because Randy is the first guy to appear as a guest on Nerdy Bitches Podcast! Listen in to see how everything plays out!

Book Club: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Back in 2017, we decided that we would reread the entirety of the Harry Potter series for the Book Club. We also decided to read and discuss each book as if we have no prior knowledge of what is to come in future books – which is REALLY HARD!! We do our best, but you will see this time we took some liberties in beeping out accidental spoilers… (mostly).
This is the third book in the Harry Potter series. In this one, Harry is going to be starting his third year at Hogwarts, and of course, bad shit happens. Notorious mass murder, Sirius Black, is on the loose… and coming for HARRY!! Shocking, we know. Dementors, childhood grudges, and hijinks all ensue as we roll through this modern-day classic.
Randy has some awesome insights and gets us laughing from the beginning. We were thrilled to have him on the show! Go check him out over on Cult 45: The Movie Podcast… the only podcast that puts hair on your chest. We are sending over our electrolysis bills! You can also check us out on an episode of theirs, where we covered Kill Bill Part 1.

Episode 114 – Trashy to Classy

Fri, 08 Feb 2019 05:59:38 -0000

In this episode, Heather and Liz look take a look at Trashy to Classy. We review trends that were previously seen a low-class, but are now common and popular. Strap in and see if yours makes our list!

Trashy to Classy
Heather found an excellent article from Cheeseburger.com that was obtained from the geniuses at Reddit to talk about things that are classy now, but used to be trashy. Nerdy Bitches has NOT independently verified this information, but who freaking cares? Some thing are really old (like now only the rich have horses and everyone has cars, but back in the day, that was reversed).

* Horses vs. Cars?
* Tiny Houses?
* Living on the top floor?
* And SO many more!

Episode 109 – BOOK CLUB: Red Rising by Pierce Brown

Wed, 21 Nov 2018 01:10:13 -0000

In this episode, it’s time for another BOOK CLUB: Red Rising by Pierce Brown! We apologize for the delay on this one, but it’s worth the wait!
The Summary
(From Amazon, because we suck at writing summaries…)
Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations. Yet he spends his life willingly, knowing that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children.
But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and lush wilds spread across the planet. Darrow—and Reds like him—are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class.
Inspired by a longing for justice, and driven by the memory of lost love, Darrow sacrifices everything to infiltrate the legendary Institute, a proving ground for the dominant Gold caste, where the next generation of humanity’s overlords struggle for power. He will be forced to compete for his life and the very future of civilization against the best and most brutal of Society’s ruling class. There, he will stop at nothing to bring down his enemies . . . even if it means he has to become one of them to do so.
Book Club: Red Rising by Pierce Brown
Liz and Heather discuss the book in detail, including what we liked and what we didn’t. Warning—the book is LONG. Like really long. It was also a little slow to warm up for both of us. But once it got rolling, we dug it. Mostly.

CW Arrowverse News!!
In this quick episode, Heather and Liz get together to discuss recent CW Arrowverse News. This episode was recorded on our four year Twitter anniversary, and the birth of the podcast!

CW Arrowverse News
In our shortest episode to date, we sit down to talk a little about some things that are coming up on the CW Arrowverse shows. This includes some speculations about the Elseworld’s crossover event with Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, etc. We know that we will also get an introduction to Ruby Rose’s Batwoman, so we talk a little about that.
We also talk about a potential cameo that may be in that series, so stay tuned! Elseworlds Crossover begins on December 9, 2018 on The Flash and will continue on each of the subsequent shows, so make sure to check that out!
Liz goes on a very short shark rant…obvs.

Episode 107 – The Doctor is IN

Thu, 18 Oct 2018 00:36:43 -0000

In this episode, The Doctor is IN! We sit down to discuss the Series 11 premier of Doctor Who and the full introduction to the new Doctor, played by Jodie Whitaker. This is historic, as this is the first time the Doctor has been portrayed by a woman!

The Doctor Is In
After watching the season premiere of Doctor Who on October 7th, we had to sit down and discuss our thoughts on the new Doctor and Jodie Whitaker. In the past, we have each had issue with the new actor taking on the role, before eventually (some seriously eventually) coming around and loving them. Did this follow suit for Jodie? Listen in to find out!
We also discuss what we thought about the first episode, and talk though the majority of the plot line and characters, including what will become the new companions.
Finally, we check in with the wardrobe department to talk about the Doctor’s new look, and how it compared to her previous counterparts.

Episode 106 – Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life

Thu, 13 Sep 2018 15:56:01 -0000

In this episode, we finally get back to Stars Hollow to review the Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life revival. If you missed our review of the original Gilmore Girls series, you can check that out here: http://www.nerdybitches.com/episode-96-gilmore-girls/

Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life
When we decided to cover Gilmore Girls for the podcast, we quickly realized that there was no way for us to cover all 8 seasons PLUS the four-part Netflix revival in one show, so we broke it down into the OG series and the revival. In this show, we hit all of the what the fuckery of it all, what our characters have been up to since the series ended, and what in the world is happening with them during this one arbitrary year.
The revival was broken down into four 90-minute shows, Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. We break down each episode to talk about what we liked, what we didn’t, and OMG WHAT IS HAPPENING moments. We follow Emily, Lorelei, and Rory Gilmore through a year to see if any of them have bothered to grow since the OG series ended.
One thing that we both really loved was the fact that this series was developed for Netflix, which meant they could get away with a lot of things that never would have flown with a network. This includes a few choice swear words, which when coming out of the mouth of Emily Gilmore is total life.
We also thoroughly enjoy the spiral downward of always-perfect Rory, who is just annoying in the way everything has always worked out for her.
We also get to check in on all of our favorite characters from the town.

Nerdy Bitches on the Town!
We have both been crazy busy preparing for some AWESOME conventions! Heather and Producer Craig just made it back from Salt Lake Fan X where Craig served as panelist and moderator for some great events and Heather had an awesome time covering the con!
This weekend, Liz will be hitting Houston’s first Fandemic Tour with Miss Jenny Kelley and Geeks of the Galaxy! There will be celebrities, artists, and a lot of our podcasting friends to play with!

Episode 105 – Top Ten Best Parody Movies EVER

Fri, 17 Aug 2018 21:35:29 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather take a crack at listing the top ten best parody movies ever! This, of course, leads us to define what a parody movie is. We also give a little history on why we each think the movies on our respective lists deserve to be there. Enjoy!
par·o·dy (noun): an imitation of the style of a particular writer, artist, or genre with deliberate exaggeration for comic effect.

Top Ten Best Parody Movies EVER
In deciding on our top ten list, Liz and Heather each created their Top 5 lists, which were kept secret, only running them through Producer Craig to make sure we did not have duplicates on the list. Here is a rundown of each list.
Heather Liz
#5: Wayne’s World Robin Hood: Men in Tights
#4: Austin Powers: Goldmember UHF
#3: 21 Jump Street Spaceballs
#2: Anchorman Galaxy Quest
#1: Tropic Thunder The Pirate Movie
Honorable Mention: Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Go check out our Twitter draft to weigh in on who had the better list!

Episode 104 – Sheroes

Wed, 01 Aug 2018 04:35:15 -0000

In this episode, Heather and Liz sit down to discuss Sheroes: the women who inspired us as we grew up and influenced how we saw life. This term is also used to describe women who fight for women’s equality and rights. The term can be a little controversial, since the term “hero” is supposed to be gender neutral, but usually is geared towards men.

Sheroes
Who inspired us growing up? We talk about our direct sheores when we were kids, and some of the lack of female representation in the world (and some that were always there, but have just recently came to know about). Family, athletes, historical, and fictional figures all make the list.
Promo: Happily Ever Aftermath

Who inspires us NOW? Who are the women today who inspire us to work on making the world a better place? Public figures, media gurus, fictional women, and the youth of America.
Who are our historical female heroes? We each highlight a women in history who shaped the way we see the world, whether we knew their names or not. Hint: Heather and Liz both chose women from NASA’s history. Click HERE for the photo Heather references in the episode.

Episode 103 – Mainstreaming Nerd Culture Across Generations

Fri, 20 Jul 2018 05:11:32 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather discuss mainstreaming nerd culture across generations. Has nerdom become more acceptable in mainstream society? Are nerds the new hipsters or exclusive club? Will Liz and Heather ever choose to clean their respective homes if they can get away with it? Tune in to this week’s episode to find out!

Mainstreaming Nerd Culture Across Generations
Heather has returned from her adventures with several comic cons in California and has much to say about them, compared to our experiences with Comicpalooza. Both are looking forward to the upcoming Fandemic Tour in Houston, so hopefully Liz will be able to attend and report.
Liz and Heather debate whether or not NERD has actually gone mainstream, or if it is specific to certain fandoms/genres. They also discuss how this has changed over the generations and some of the potential jumping off points.
We also talk quite a lot about cleaning (or not), and other off-the-rails topics, as usual.

Episode 102 – Fan Fiction

Fri, 06 Jul 2018 03:26:09 -0000

In this episode, Heather is out on assignment, enjoying all of the awesome things California fan conventions offer, so Liz was joined by special guest host Mandy to read some erotic fan fiction! Mandy is the host of CasterQuest, an awesome podcast that covers Patrick Rothfuss’ Kingkiller Chronicles, Game of Thrones, and does an annual 4th of July fan fiction episode!!

Episode 101 – Comicpalooza 2018 Wrap Up

Sat, 23 Jun 2018 02:23:00 -0000

In this episode, we briefly try to do our Comicpalooza 2018 Wrap Up, and fail miserably at the “brief” part! There was SO much going on, and we just couldn’t help ourselves!! So listen to us gush about the amazing time we had, all of our awesome panels, our friends, and did we mention the celebrities??

Comicpalooza 2018 Wrap Up
We not-so-briefly go through each day of the convention and talk about the awesome panels we attended, the panels we hosted, and how much fun it was to finally see each other again since Heather moved away!
There are probably some really long tangents about Harry Potter meet-ups and other things, but the conversation was fun, so we left them in.
Quick Review

* Thursday – Badge pick up, reuniting with our friends, and grabbing lunch
* Friday – Matinee Hereos panel, Peter Mayhew (moderated by Brandon from Cult 45), Liz gushing about TALKING to Peter Mayhew, and a lot on our trivia show down game show with Cult 45 podcast. The live stream for that show is available here.

* Saturday: Heather checked out the John Cusak panel in the morning, and then we met up with Shasie from Shasie’s World to record an episode on Black Panther! You can find that episode here: http://www.nerdybitches.com/episode-99-black-panther/

After recording with Shasie, Heather made it to the Cult 45 Podcast live show. Liz was late and missed it since the room was PACKED! As a small consolation, she did get to say hello to (and get a wave and hello in return from) Tom Holland. After that, we had our LIVE show, which you can find here: http://www.nerdybitches.com/episode-100-live-from-comicpalooza-with-cards-against-humanity/http://www.nerdybitches.com/episode-100-live-from-comicpalooza-with-cards-against-humanity/

* Sunday: We had our Women in Podcasting panel, which we hosted. The panel included Mandy from CasterQuest, Miss Jenny Kelley, and Thirsty from Raging Nerds. It was a great panel, and we are looking forward to seeing the video captured by Seale when it is available!

Now, we are exhausted! Heather is going out on assignment for a few weeks to a couple of other conventions. In the meantime, Liz will be joined by guest host Mandy until Heather is back! Look for those episodes coming soon!

Thanks again to the team at Comicpalooza for our third time as part of their official podcasting program. We have a great time every year, and this is definitely our favorite convention! We are already looking forward to next year!

Episode 100 – LIVE from Comicpalooza with Cards Against Humanity

Thu, 14 Jun 2018 15:04:15 -0000

It’s finally here!! In this episode, we are celebrating our 100th episode LIVE from Comicpalooza with Cards Against Humanity!! We also had some very special guests and listeners leave some awesome messages, and you will hear those throughout the live game play. Heather and Liz were back in the same state again, so it only made sense to make this milestone episode something special!
LIVE from Comicpalooza with Cards Against Humanity!
We may have stretched time a little to make this milestone happen when and how it did, but it was totally worth it! Our podcasting room was packed with people sitting along the walls just to watch. A big chunk of the audience played the game WITH us in a tournament-style show down to get to a single winner of our amazing Nerdy Bitches trophy (which is a female body building trophy, in actuality, but the caption on the trophy says it all!). And believe me, they WANTED this trophy. Our reigning champion from 2017 was there to defend his title, even though we told him we wouldn’t take away his trophy.

Who WOULDN’T want this little gem in their trophy case??
The game play was amazing, loud, and a great deal of fun, and we really hope you enjoy. Note: It has been edited to cut out the boring parts while we overexplain the modified rules, people are shuffling cards, and lining up. You are getting the solid action!
Shout Outs!
We put out an invitation via social media for anyone who wanted to send in a congratulations message, and we have included those soundbites and voicemail messages throughout the show. We love these folks and really appreciate them taking the time to send in a message! If they have a podcast, we are linking it below.

Episode 99 – Black Panther

Wed, 06 Jun 2018 01:11:44 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather took a break from Comicpalooza to sit down with blogger and lifestyle guru, Shasie (Shasie’s World) to talk ALL about Black Panther! We will be focusing on the character of Black Panther, not just the stand-alone movie, so we will be discussing Captain America Civil War, Black Panther, and Avengers: Infinity War with SPOILERS all over the place. Also, please excuse the audio. When recording quickly on-the-go, we had a few slip-ups!

Black Panther
Again, SPOILERS! We sat down with Shasie at Comicpalooza to talk all about the character, Black Panther, and will crossover into the different movies he has been in. We jump right on in and talk about all of the crazy things that happen in all of the movies and what is going to happen during the next group of movies that we know are coming.
We love Black Panther. Period. When he pops up in Civil War in the chase of Winter Soldier, we were surprised and excited. We talk about villians, and how well Marvel is doing at bringing in villians who you can somewhat relate to and can feel (especially Killmonger).
We do jump around to talk about some of the rest of the MCU and had a great time.

Episode 96 – Gilmore Girls

Mon, 30 Apr 2018 21:38:37 -0000

On this episode, Liz and Heather finally tackle all seven original seasons of Gilmore Girls! During another one of our infamous fan-trades, Heather agreed to watch all seven seasons plus the revival. In return, Liz will be watching Game of Thrones, which will be discussed sometime during the summer. Probably. We are only tackling the original series in this episode, as also covering the revival would have put the show around 10 hours. The revival and our final-final thoughts will be released this summer. Stay tuned!!

But First…
Big news! We are officially part of the 2018 Comicpalooza Podcast Partnership Program!! Woohoo!! This is the third year in a row for us, and we are SO excited! We have also submitted several panels to host during the convention, so stay tuned for the details on where you can see us LIVE and IN PERSON! Heather will also be returning to Houston from California for the event, so it will be the first time she and Liz will see each other in about six months.
And now… on to the show!
Gilmore Girls
Heather had never seen the series before the fandom swap, and Liz only started watching it in 2016, when the revival was announced. In this episode, we discuss the many relationships that exist within the series. To name a few…

* Lorelei and Rory
* Emily and Lorelei
* Rory and Dean/Jess/Naked Guy/Logan
* Lorelei and Max/Digger/Christopher/Luke
* ALL of the other characters in Stars Hollow
* Rory and Paris
* Lorelei and Sookie

During our relationships discussions, we hit a lot of different topics and talk through most of the major plot lines throughout the run of the series. Find out if we love it, hate it, or hate to love it!

Episode 94 – Tropes and Cliches

Fri, 06 Apr 2018 04:12:27 -0000

In this episode, Heather and Liz explore popular Tropes and Cliches used in movies, tv, and literature. Seen it over and over? So have we.

Tropes and Cliches
We wanted to talk about the difference between a trope and a cliche, because we see the same things over and over in TV and movies, especially with the advent of binge watching due to streaming services, DVRs, and on-demand options.
Examples:

* Boy meets girl/loses girl/gets girl back
* Will they/won’t they/ of course they will

Some of our discussion:

* Action stars will fight their way through 2,000 henchmen to get to the big bad, but won’t kill him because he doesn’t want to be “just as bad as him.’
* To change your life and everything about you, all you need is a makeover!
* Scientists have to say things deliberately complicated so that someone else can make the statement, “In English, please!”
* Every ensemble needs an idiot. [See potential scavenger hunt for Comicpalooza]
* “We need to talk.”
* It always rains at funerals.
* Underdog will always win.
* Badass female character must be perfect AND a physical badass.
*

Episode 93 – Dungeons & Dragons Campaign: Finding Stellan Skarsgård

Fri, 23 Mar 2018 17:06:32 -0000

In Dungeons & Dragons Campaign: Finding Stellan Skarsgård, after manually wooing some wolves and bringing them into our party, the gang heads deeper into Cragmaw Cave in search of Stellan Skarsgård. This is the second part of our previous adventure. In this campaign, we are working our way through the 5th Edition Starter Set with Operaman as our DM.
Game Players in this Episode:

* Dungeon Master (DM): Paul, aka Operaman
* Rivonel the Melodious (aka River Song), wood elf ranger: Liz, Nerdy Bitches Podcast
* Joyassa, dragonborn sorcerer: Heather, Nerdy Bitches Podcast
* Shyntal’drin Ale’urden (Shin), drow rogue: Producer Craig, Nerdy Bitches Podcast
* Ba’Sha the Tusky, half-orc paladin: Mandy, CasterQuest
* Brigid, human cleric: Thirsty, Dogfin Radio (and now Raging Nerds Podcast)

Dungeons & Dragons: Finding Stellan Skardård
After the party entered the cave, and Basha the Tusky jerked off three wolves and gained their loyalty, the gang took the pack with them deeper into Cragmaw Cave in search of the human who may know the location of the map to the castle and Wave Echo Cave (we have named him Stellan Skarsgård because we cannot remember his real name).
As we delve further, we come to a crossroads and find our first adventure lurking quietly under the bridge…

Fri, 02 Mar 2018 07:00:33 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather continue working their way through the halls of Hogwarts with our Book Club Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (book 2 in the series).

Exciting News!

There are a lot of laughs and a lot of WTF kind of moments where we question the intelligence of Ron and Harry. But, really… what can you expect from a couple of 12 year old kids.
Spoiler Alert – We will be talking in-depth about this book ONLY, but will not be spoiling any future books or movies, as much as we might want to. So, if you haven’t read beyond this book, no worries!

Episode 91 – The Disney Empire

Fri, 02 Feb 2018 20:43:38 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather discuss the Disney empire and their plan for world domination. Or at least box office domination. Settle in for some Red Vines and Reeses Penis!

The Disney Empire
Time to bow to our new overlords! We discuss the recent announcement that Disney has acquired part of 20th Century Fox and the franchises it will now own and their implications for the movie industry. We also talk about what this takeover will mean for the future of Netflix, Hulu, and Disney’s proposed streaming service. Is this a good thing? Are we excited? What are the short- and long-term ramifications of this in light of the previous purchases of Marvel Studios and Lucasfilm?
FYI – This episode goes off the rails a bit in the middle.

Episode 90 – BOOK CLUB – Star Wars: Thrawn

Fri, 26 Jan 2018 04:02:55 -0000

In this Book Club episode, Liz and Heather dive into Star Wars: Thrawn by Timothy Zahn! This beloved extended universe character has been brought back into the Star Wars canon in this book and in the animated series, Rebels.

Star Wars: Thrawn
Welcome to our first book club episode of 2018! We are actually on time (for once), so listen in as we start the new year off right! In this first book, we get the origin story on one of the greatest “villans” of all time (in Star Wars), Grand Admiral Thrawn. This book, unlike others we have read, comes from his perspective, rather than those of our regular Rebellion heroes.
Obviously, the whole book club will be full of spoilers. Duh!!
This story follows Thrawn, Eli Vanto, and (B-story) Ahrinda Pryce and how they have come to be in their positions within the Empire.

Conspiracy Theories
We talk about Apple, a list of crazy theories that actually turned out to be true, and some that maybe haven’t been proven but FEEL true enough that we believe them without proof.

Episode 88 – The Last Jedi (Spoilers!!!)

Fri, 12 Jan 2018 05:05:20 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather discuss The Last Jedi and their 3 year anniversary! It’s hard to believe that we have been “on the air” for three years already, but here we are! We are also welcoming another new year.

Happy New Year and Happy 3 Year Anniversary to Us!
We have had so much fun over the past three years and cannot wait to see what 2018 holds! We talk a little about our troll who came back out of the woodwork over Christmas. If you want to troll the troll, be our guest.
We also devote a lot of time talking about winter in Houston, because it has been crazy cold here for no good reason. We even had snow this year.
Recommendation: WTForecast app – This is for iPhone users and it is a weather app that gives you snarky commentary to go with your forecast.
Warning: This is a SPOILER-filled episode. Spoilers start around the 13:00 mark. You have been warned. Proceed at your own risk.
The Last Jedi
Liz and Operaman watched the movie the first time on opening night with Mandy from Casterquest, while Heather and Producer Craig missed their original screening due to shitty plumbing and had to hit it on Saturday morning.
Listen in for all of our opinions, fan theories, and where we think the franchise can go from here.
Also, for those who hated the movie, try watching it again.

Episode 87 – #METOO

Tue, 21 Nov 2017 18:08:22 -0000

#METOO: In this episode, we are taking our the trash #METOO style. Listen in as Liz and Heather talk about the current movement in Hollywood, but also what happens to us (and others) all the time as women in this world. We also answer a couple of listener questions on the subject.

#MeToo
This movement, if you aren’t familiar with it, is bringing awareness to the prevalence of sexual harassment or sexual assault. It started with the Harvey Weinstein accusations, but has become so much more. We wanted to talk about this because we are women, we host a podcast, and it is important for us to engage in the discussion.
Heather tells her story of pornography being e-mailed to her by an upper manager in a previous job, where that manager was related to the big boss.
Liz talks a lot about Human Resources and hopefully doesn’t put you to sleep.
Liz goes WAY back to the second grade for her first #metoo incident. We really don’t think about those little things which can have so much impact as we move forward in life.
We answer a couple of awesome listener questions from Bry-Fy Podcast and Home Video Hustle Podcast.
Fair Warning: We definitely get a little passionate on this subject. It’s a conversation that needs to be had.
**We had some technical difficulties with this episode, so we do apologize for that. We didn’t get to talk as much about recycling as we planned.

Episode 86 – Sobfest Cinema

Thu, 09 Nov 2017 19:50:05 -0000

In this episode, we are settling in to talk about some serious Sobfest Cinema! Listen as we discuss some of our favorite movies that make us just cry our faces off every. single. time, no matter how many times we see them. We have also taken our listeners into account and included their favorite sobfest movies.

Sobfest Cinema
When we are talking about this, it really isn’t something that accidentally makes us cry and we never watch it again. These are movies that we can’t help but watch even though they make us cry. And sometimes, we watch them because we NEED a good cry!
Heather’s #1: Hatchi (never watch it on a plane)
Liz’s #1: Armageddon

Episode 85 – End of Times

Fri, 06 Oct 2017 16:44:38 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather discuss the End of Times. The end is near, y’all and we will tell you all about it, and maybe give a few tips on how to survive. Or not.

End of Times
With the state of our world, things that once seemed crazy don’t see that crazy anymore. We talk a lot about the state of things, what could happen, and give a few survival tips, whether we actually want to survive or not.
Now that Heather has moved and we will be recording more often, we are trying to bring back our segments.
Bitch of the Week
Homecoming in Texas – Why are the mums so fucking big? And when did asking someone out to a fairly insignificant football game or dance become a grander gesture than proposing marriage?? Here is the picture Liz sent Heather during the recording. I mean WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?? You can’t even see the girl behind it! Plus, let’s make sure we really make the people who didn’t get asked feel extra shitty when those who did need a freaking noose to wear that thing at school all day.

Episode 84 – We Heart Houston

Fri, 29 Sep 2017 15:32:58 -0000

In this very special episode, we heart Houston and learn a little about Texas food and the fact that HEATHER IS MOVING AWAY!! Don’t worry, the show WILL go on and will stay awesome. But, before the leaves the great state of Texas, we have to talk about all the things she is going to miss!

We Heart Houston
So, Heather finished up her degree back in May, applied for the kickass job of her dreams and got it!! We are so proud of all of her accomplishments! That kickass job will be taking her to California, so while Liz will miss her fiercely, she is getting an incredible opportunity to make her dreams come true!
We took this opportunity to talk all about our home city and the things we love about it – mainly the FOOD! If you have never been to Houston and have a notion of what it is all about, I guarantee you are wrong! So, take a listen to our last in-studio session for a while (she will be back for Comicpalooza in May!) and hopefully no one gets too teary!

In this episode, Liz and Heather cover the rest of the first book, starting at Chapter 7! We had so much to say on this book that it couldn’t be contained in a single episode!! Make sure you check out the first part if you missed it!

Book Club: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone Part 2
We only made it as far as the Hogwart’s Express in the first part of this episode, so prepare for a world of wonder as Harry enters the wizarding school for the first time, goes to some classes, and plays for the Gryffindor house Quiddach team. Along the way, Harry discovers some shady characters and a plot that could change the course of the wizarding world! Will an 11 year old be able to keep the powers of evil at bay? Duh.

Episode 82 – BOOK CLUB: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone Part 1

Fri, 08 Sep 2017 02:51:13 -0000

In this week’s episode, it’s time for our Book Club selection: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone Part 1! We are going to be going through all seven of the Harry Potter books over the next few months and discussing each book in detail.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone Part 1
We had so much to say on this first world building book that we had to split it into two episodes!! We imagine the upcoming books will be much of the same, because we could both probably talk Harry Potter forever! In fact, it was a mutual love for Harry Potter that cemented our friendship in the first place! Harry Potter and scrapbooking.
During this part of the episode, we cover Chapters 1-6, which basically ends with Harry and company getting off the train at Hogwarts, if that tells you how much happens in the beginning of this book! We go through pretty much chapter by chapter here, hitting all of the little details that we probably missed when reading it the first time, but that end up being really important down the line.
In the first third of the book, we meet the Dursleys and learn a tiny bit about who Harry is and why he is important to the wizarding world. We jump forward to right before Harry’s 11th birthday where he learns some shocking news and takes his first leap into a magical world he never knew existed. He visits Diagon Alley and meets some interesting characters in passing.
Making it on to platform 9 3/4, Harry meets the Weasley family and gets all situation for the ride to Hogwarts.
In Part 2, we will go through the rest of the book in detail, so make sure you check in for the next installment!

Episode 81½: Hurricane Harvey Update

Mon, 28 Aug 2017 23:48:45 -0000

In this brief episode, Liz and Heather check in to give our Hurricane Harvey Update for our listeners. We are both still alive, kicking; with power and Internet. Many in Houston and the surrounding areas cannot say the same.

Hurricane Harvey Update
So far, the storm has been hammering south east Texas after ripping through Rockport and its surrounding areas. We have had torrential rain, massive flooding, and people stranded. We wanted to keep our listeners up to date on what is happening around us and hope that people are understanding just how devastating this storm has been and will continue to be to this area and to the people who have lost everything, including their lives.
Please consider contributing to one of the trusted charities rounding up funds for the people here, as many will come back to what is left of their homes with absolutely nothing. Check out this awesome Instagram post from the cast of Supernatural. I think we just fell in love with them a little more!

This is pretty amazing! As if there wasn’t enough to love about #supernatural already! Thank you @cbreher1 for sending! Reposted from @jensenackles
A post shared by Nerdy Bitches Podcast (@nerdybitches) on Aug 27, 2017 at 6:51pm PDT

Sun, 27 Aug 2017 20:52:02 -0000

BREAKING NEWS: In this episode, Liz and Heather are experiencing Hurricane Harvey from the inside!! This is how much we love our listeners! We sit down during a break in the storm to let you know all about what is going on and what is projected to happen soon. Hold on to your butts!

Hurricane Harvey
We got a shock this week and learned that our beloved home of Texas was going to be slammed by the first category 4 hurricane to hit the Lone Star State since the 1960s! Not exactly what we had planned for this weekend!
Listen in as we talk about what all this category business means, other storms we have weathered, and how we are fairing on Saturday, the first day after the storm made rainfall. We plan to have an update episode later in the week to let you know how everything went and assure you (hopefully!) that we are still kicking!

Current mood:
(We are still a couple of days from the worst of the storm supposedly) Send vodka. pic.twitter.com/twuAOZXWE3

Since this is the first time playing for nearly all of our game members, we wanted to start with the basics and go from there. You can check out our previous episode on D&D to hear about the players and their experience levels, as well as common myths and misconceptions about the game itself here: Episode 73: Dungeons and Dragons for Beginners.

Dungeons and Dragons Campaign
During our first session, we met the characters (pulled from the 5th edition Player’s Handbook. The Starter Set does include five pre-generated characters to start.) and began our adventure. We did not record this session as it was really long and there was a lot of learning curve since nearly all of our players were newbies. We have a player, Jessica (from our Cosplay and Geek Crushes episodes), playing a Half-Elf Bard named Ivane, but she was unable to attend this session, so her character has been stricken with food poisoning as this session opens.
Players in this episode include:

* Liz – Wood Elf Ranger, Rivonel the Melodious (aka River Song)
* Heather – Dragonborn Sorcerer, Joyassa
* Producer Craig – Drow Rogue, Shyntal’drin Ale’urden
* Mandy (Casterquest) – Half-Orc Paladin, Ba’Sha the Tusky
* Thirsty (Dogfin Radio) – Human Cleric, Brigid
* Operaman (aka Paul) – Dungeon Master

Listen in as we head back to the cave from our first adventure to rescue someone, save some shit, and find some treasure! Make sure you follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest to keep up with the latest game play episodes!

Episode 77 – BOOK CLUB: Storm Front

Fri, 28 Jul 2017 03:00:46 -0000

In this Book Club episode, Liz and Heather examine Storm Front by Jim Butcher. This is the first in the Dresden Files series. Both of us had received multiple recommendations to read this series over the years, so it was time we dug in!

Storm Front (Dresden Files #1)

Harry Dresden is the best at what he does. Well, technically, he’s the only at what he does. So when the Chicago P.D. has a case that transcends mortal creativity or capability, they come to him for answers. For the “everyday” world is actually full of strange and magical things — and most of them don’t play well with humans. That’s where Harry comes in. Takes a wizard to catch a — well, whatever.
There’s just one problem. Business, to put it mildly, stinks. So when the police bring him in to consult on a grisly double murder committed with black magic, Harry’s seeing dollar signs. But where there’s black magic, there’s a black mage behind it. And now that mage knows Harry’s name. And that’s when things start to get… interesting.
Magic. It can get a guy killed.
[Synopsis from jimbutcher.com]
We talk through this Professional Wizard turns murder suspect mystery. All opinions are our own and may vary wildly from that of each other or people who recommended to us to read this series.

Episode 76 – Geek Hobbies

Fri, 21 Jul 2017 05:00:52 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather talk all about geek hobbies! We also talk about the latest announcement from the world of Doctor Who! The 13th Doctor is going to be a woman!! It’s about time!

Geek Hobbies
We talk about the latest announcements from Doctor Who and Disney’s D23! The 13th Doctor, starting with the 2017 Christmas episode will be played by Jodie Whitaker (Broadchurch) and will be the first woman to play the iconic role. Heather takes on the online trolls who are outraged by this turn of events…of a fictional time-traveling alien.
D23 recently showed some behind-the-scenes footage of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which is opening in December 2017. They also released some amazing posters of the film’s main cast of characters that are absolutely breathtaking. You can watch the clip here:

We also get into the Best Geek and Nerd Hobbies list, as according to a list on ranker.com.We compare this list with our own geeky/nerdy interests, along with some rather interesting past times that made their list.

Episode 75 – Wonder Women

Fri, 14 Jul 2017 18:59:11 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather, along with guest Kim Gordon, talk all about Wonder Women – not just the movie, but also the world of women directors and what we hope for the future! We give a few shout-outs right up front to the people who interacted with our Facebook page on the Name This Movie (with the wrong name) post.

Wonder Women
We aren’t talking about the movie itself, but more about female directors, what this movie means for the industry going forward, and how the movie compared to the two DC movies that were released in 2016.
Costume-wise, we really liked what they did with Wonder Woman in that her armor is fairly realistic and could actually be fought in. She has flat shoes, leather shin guards that go over the knees and are bendable, etc. Her midriff isn’t hanging out, and it isn’t basically satin lingerie like Linda Carter’s Wonder Woman. The attention to detail was spot on! She wasn’t over-sexualized, and that is refreshing.
Rotten Tomatoes ratings on the recent D.C. Movies

* Batman V. Superman: 27% (critics)
* Suicide Squad: 25% (critics)
* Wonder Woman: 92% (critics) [BOOM]

BTW – Dick Smackers is like the worst lip gloss flavor ever.
Female Directors
One of the biggest problems is that when we sit down and try to think of female directors, we could each come up with maybe four, and several of those we can’t even think of their names, we just know the movie. This is a serious problem, especially when one of the biggest female director in the industry can’t be mentioned without saying “ex-wife of James Cameron.” And if a female had two shit movies in a row, you would NEVER hear from them again. Unlike Zac Snyder and is shitstorm of crap movies getting one of the biggest franchises out there.
Here is the clip that Liz was talking about from Patton Oswalt’s Talking for Clapping standup

Episode 74 – Video Games

Fri, 07 Jul 2017 01:05:21 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather are joined by Kim Gordon to talk all about video games! Join us as we talk about the games we have played, as well as what we currently play, along with some history of the video gaming industry.

Video Games
We invited gamer and friend Kim Gordon (the other one) on this week’s episode to talk all about games, past and present. Kim is also heavily involved with Comicpalooza and married to one of the hosts of the Metal Geeks Podcast. We spend time talking about how we got into games and dispel the myth that video games are just for guys. Check out this video from Adam Ruins Everything:

We talk about some of the different game consoles, PC gaming, and Facebook/phone games. Bro-games/multi-player online games versus couch co-op or single player campaigns
Super Mario Bros, Street Fighter, Call of Duty, Lego everything (especially Jurassic World and Star Wars: The Force Awakens)!, Halo, Castle Wolfenstein, Doom, Oregon Trail, Mass Effect, Shadows of Mordor, Bejeweled, Just Dance, Rock Band
For more info, there are a couple of great documentaries currently on Netflix.

* Atari: Game Over
* Video Games: The Movie
* Indie Game: The Movie
* Man vs. Snake

Starting gamers recommendation: It really depends on age, skill level, interests, etc. There really is no stock answer.

Episode 73 – Dungeons and Dragons for Beginners

Fri, 23 Jun 2017 04:21:51 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather sit down with friends to talk about Dungeons and Dragons for beginners! We have with us Jessica (previously on our Cosplay and Geek Crush episodes) and Mandy from the podcast CasterQuest! This roundtable discussion consists of all newbies to the game of D&D and a little bit of information about the game’s history, myths and stereotypes, and pre-game talk for our new 5th edition campaign.

Dungeons and Dragons for Beginners
This episode is really our pre-game discussion before we mount our first campaign. Liz has played a handful of times, Heather hasn’t ever played, Jessica and Mandy have at least looked at a game before. We talk about why (or why not) someone would want to be the DM versus a player. We also talk about some of the things that may have kept us from playing this game before now.
We are playing the D&D 5th Edition Starter Set. This is a pre-generated game that includes the story, the character sheets, and even dice, where anyone can pick it up and learn to play. Operaman is serving as our DM for our game and Producer Craig is playing with us as well. We may be recording the game-play episodes as we go, but we will see how things progress. We will at the very least have a follow up episode after we complete the starter set game.
Liz explains the history of D&D that she got off this video here…

and a brief bit of info about how to play 5th edition with this video here…

The second video series is pretty awesome and breaks things down so they are much easier to understand than trying to read or explain how to play the game.
Also, to hear about stereotypes of D&D, check out this video…

So stay tuned for our upcoming D&D game episodes because they are sure to be incredibly entertaining!

Ask a Nerdy Bitch – Part 1

Episode 63 – Beating Winter Blues

Fri, 10 Feb 2017 05:59:34 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather discuss beating winter blues, especially in Houston where it isn’t generally cold much in the winter time.

Beating Winter Blues
Even though we don’t really get snowed in or have super cold days here, we can still get the winter blues. Especially on overcast, cold, and clammy (humid) days. Also, the time change in the winter really messes with your head and biorhythms. It makes you feel tired and grumpy. It does lead to a lot of binge watching and binge eating.
How to Beat the Blahs

* Embrace it, if you can – Pretend you are choosing to spend the cold day in bed so that you can really enjoy the day.
* Keep Warm – There are certain things that we want to do in winter, like hot chocolate, soups and stews, giant blankets. You may have to flip on the AC for this activity if you live in Houston.
* Find the light – Get outside and find the sun, wherever it may be. Watch out for Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), which comes from a lack of Vitamin D. This can boost your mood and help you keep a little more active.
* Pokemon Go will overheat your phone and keep your hands warm.
* Eating healthy – When most of us binge watch and binge eat, you aren’t doing it with healthy foods. Try to get the foods in season and go to town.
* Lighting (in doors) – Open the blinds and let in some light.
* Make some kind of plans – You have the chance to catch up on things you have been meaning to do. Forget your resolutions and goals and make a PLAN and work the plan. Try not to isolate yourself. Go out and see people when you can.
* Know your limitations – Don’t over-commit when you know it won’t be good for you. Do what you can do, plan for the things that take more time than you have. Get a day planner and keep track of what you need to do and make adjustments as you see things crowding up.
* Find a hobby – Figure out what you like to do and make some time to do it. Puzzles, coloring, etc.
* One Day at a Time – Just get through the day. Live in the moment. Life is much more manageable if you stay present. Mindfulness.
* Talk it Through – Lean on your support system. Talk to someone who will listen and not judge or try to solve your problems. Make these relationships a two-way street. Don’t just dump all of your crap on someone and never allow them to do the same. If you can’t find a person to trust – get a journal. NEVER go back and read those journals.

Episode 62 – Time Travel

Fri, 03 Feb 2017 05:59:46 -0000

In this episode, Heather and Liz talk time travel in entertainment (but not real science, so don’t tell us we don’t know science – because we already know that).

Time Travel
We are discussing time travel in TV and movies. Since we don’t have Dr. Neil Degrass Tyson on the show (but we would LOVE to), we won’t be talking the actual physics/science behind the potential for time travel, or even things like wormholes. We are sticking to what we can Google and what we can see in entertainment.
Time Travel Theories

* Fixed timeline – Single fixed history which is unchangeable. Whatever you go back and try to change will be what created it in the first place. Examples: 12 Monkeys and Donnie Darko.
* Dynamic timeline – Very small change in the past has a huge impact on the future (Butterfly effect or chaos theory). Example: Back to the Future. Paradox: Grandfather paradox – If you go back in time and kill your grandfather and thus you should never be born, but the fact that YOU went back in time means that you existed and the grandpa can’t be killed.
* Multi-verse – Every change you make creates a new timeline. Example: Doctor Who, The Flash
* Trapped in time – Time is paused and they will rejoin the timeline. Example: Jumanji, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me; Planet of the Apes (1968).

Bootstrap Paradox: occurs when an object or piece of information sent back in time becomes trapped within an infinite cause-effect loop in which the item no longer has a discernible point of origin, and is said to be “uncaused” or “self-created”.
Wormhole – Often used as a method for time travel
Time Travel – in TV

* Doctor Who
* Quantum Leap
* Legends of Tomorrow
* Agents of Shield (ish)
* Continum

Time Travel – in Movies

* Back to the Future
* Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure
* Groundhog Day*
* Interstellar
* Terminator
* Time Bandits
* Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
* Butterfly Effect
* Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
* X-Men Days of Future Past
* Flight of the Navigator
* 13 Going on 30

Episode 61 – Rogue One

Fri, 27 Jan 2017 17:25:20 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather talk all about Rogue One and the future of the Star Wars saga. There are spoilers in this episode, so make sure you have seen the movie or just take our word for it!

Rogue One
We start out talking about Star Wars canon and the previously-known extended universe (now Legends). Some of the more popular things from the old books are coming back into the true canon, like Admiral Thrawn (first introduced by Timothy Zahn in the Trawn trilogy), who is now appearing in Star Wars: Rebels this season. We also see Saw Guerrera, who originally came around in Clone Wars, and is now in Rogue One, and also in Rebels.
Other characters that show up in Rogue One: Chopper (droid, Rebels), General Syndulla (Hera, Rebels), Dr. Evanza and Ponda Baba (bad dudes from the Cantina scene in Episode IV)
Rogue One passed the Bechtel Test! (Note: There is a new Jyn Erso backstory book coming out soon). As far as women go, we see Jyn and Mon Mothma talking, and not about a man! We would like more backstory on Jyn to tell us why we should care about her, because she is kind of a bitch throughout the whole story (more so in the Rogue One book than the movie).
Villains – Star Wars is amazing at making terrible villains who actually make you uncomfortable. Orsen Krennick, Darth Vader being a badass (and also cracking jokes while force choking someone), Tarkin, etc.
CGI issues – Peter Cushing passed in 1994 and was recreated via CGI over another actor. Tarkin was an essential part of the story, so it was necessary to have him in the story. His importance is much stronger in the book than what they did in the movie, which was respectful. We LOVED the CGI Princess Leia at the end of the movie. It is harder to watch after her passing in late December.
Discussion around other characters. We will be doing a Robot episode in the upcoming months, so we talk only about K-2SO in this episode.
Bitch of the Week
Heather – Birds
Liz – Oversharing of someone else’s photos on Facebook
Book Club – Coming Soon
Our next selection is The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. Probably just the first books.
We also bring back the Bitch of the Week and Out-of-Context Internet Comments segments, and added a new one: Things We Just Don’t Get.

Episode 60: Not So Great Expectations

Fri, 06 Jan 2017 05:59:36 -0000

Happy New Year! 2016 was a total bitch, and not in a good way like we are. In this episode, we talk about the not so great expectations of being a girl, and also provide a memorial on the late Carrie Fisher.

In Memory of Carrie Fisher…
We recorded the actual episode before Christmas, so when we woke up to the news that Carrie Fisher, our beloved Princess Leia, had died a few days after a heart attack. It was really devastating. Liz wrote about it on her blog, so you can read that here, but this was our recognition of an amazing woman who was an actor, an advocate for the mentally ill, and a fantastic writer. The day after, her mother, Debbie Reynolds, also died. So much tragedy in such a short time. Prayers for Gary Fisher. You can’t explain death to a dog. Let the love of Carrie carry us forward into DOING something, rather than waiting for things to happen. Let’s make the world a better place.
Moving on…
Not So Great Expectations
Heather loves day-drinking, especially at a festival. And the drunk texts from her during these events are also amazingly weird. But we want to talk about what it’s like being a girl when you aren’t really a “girly girl” and aren’t meeting up to expectations – ours or the world’s. First of all, just because we don’t always want to be girly doesn’t mean we want to be dudes. Get over your “penis envy” comments just because we don’t feel like doing our hair or makeup every day.
Story about Speedos. Just… don’t. Also, New Year’s Resolutions… stop. Stop hating yourself when you don’t meet these flighty goals. Make real goals and work on them. We talk about some goals that we have made over the years to better ourselves that aren’t just short-term goals.
The expectations we put on ourselves are often harder than the ones society imposes. We always assumed that we would be more put-together as adult women. And we judged, growing up, the moms/women who weren’t. We imagined that at some age, we would wake up and get our shit together. Still waiting…
Listen in to the rest.
Note: This is the “comfy” bra Operaman brought Liz when we went out and forgot to put one on…

Episode 59 – A Very Nerdy Christmas

Fri, 16 Dec 2016 05:30:12 -0000

In this episode, Heather and Liz wish everyone a very nerdy Christmas (and every other holiday). So, here is our obligatory holiday episode. Warning – DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS EPISODES WITH KIDS IN THE ROOM!! You shouldn’t anyway, but definitely not this one!

The story of the vibrator finally comes to light, so make sure you listen in to that one.
A Very Nerdy Christmas

Traditions – Christmas Movies

* The Santa Clause (Tim Allen)

* Desserts

Traditions – Holiday Music
Hello, Sunny 99.1 who starts playing exclusively Christmas music the week of Thanksgiving through the end of the year. Drinking games revolving around Christmas music in the car are not advisable by Nerdy Bitches Podcast. We will not be responsible for your DUI.

* Holly Jolly Christmas
* Trans Siberian Orchestra – Carol of the Bells
* Jingle Bell Rock
* Old-School Christmas CDs from the 90s, including A Very Special Christmas

Traditions – Gift Giving Tips
Warnings for new couples – don’t give your SO something sexual, trips, hotels, etc. It’s awkward. Lingerie is NOT a gift for a woman…everyone knows its for you. Your dick is NOT a gift. The naughty should only be a part of something bigger. So, think ahead and try not to run someone off by being a weirdo.

* Gift cards
* Stocking stuffers (Candy, little special things, As Seen on TV things, etc.)
* For friends in small homes/apartments – unitaskers take up too much room. Be mindful of their space issues.
* Amazon Wish Lists are awesome. If you don’t have one, get one. It makes things much easier for those people who want to get you a gift.

What the Fuck is an Elf on the Shelf??
Santa sends the elf Thanksgiving night to spy on the children and report back each night to Santa on whether or not they are being naughty or nice. Some elves are more naught and mischievous than others. We are perplexed by this whole business.

Episode 58 – 2016 Netflix Originals Part 2

Fri, 09 Dec 2016 06:02:31 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather cover 2016 Netflix Originals Part 2. One note – be sure to get your tickets for the Marvelous Nerd Year’s Eve (use craigprice as a coupon code for $50 off a 4-day pass) with Stan Lee in Dallas December 29 – January 1. Our own Producer Craig will be moderating panels and a lot of cool people will be there. Check it out at www.marvelousnye.com.

2016 Netflix Originals Part 2
We have decided that there should be Netflix for pets. But, since there isn’t currently, we can only talk about the one for peoples. So, here is the rest of 2016.

* Orange is the New Black – We don’t care for the main characters, but Red is awesome. Also an interesting look at the difference between private and public prison institutions. Just look what happened to Luke Cage!
* Voltron: Legendary Defender – Absolutely excellent! Completely worth the watch, especially if you aren’t into other areas of anime. Season 2 will be out in January 2017.
* BoJack Horsemen – BoJack has issues. The animal jokes throughout are funny.
* Stranger Things – This show is crazy good. The 1980s nostalgia alone is worth the watch. Mystery/thriller/sci-fi that really represents the 80s. It’s dark and gritty. We talk about the differences between the disappearances of Will and Barb and the importance of an active imagination. We go in depth with the different characters and actors on this one.
* Luke Cage – Damn. He is hot. Aside from the hotness, this show is really good. Definitely one to check out and binge. Long discussion here.
* Black Mirror – Totally fucked up, so it may take some time to get into. Kind of like your Klout score becoming your net worth.
* Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life – A 4 part 90-min series catching up on what happened since we last visited Stars Hollow.

Be sure to leave us a 5-star review on iTunes or wherever. Because we are awesome.

Episode 57 – 2016 Netflix Originals Part 1

Fri, 02 Dec 2016 06:01:09 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather discuss all of the 2016 Netflix Originals Part 1 that we have seen or heard good things about. Sit back and enjoy the first part, as we blab way too much for a single episode.

We are also drinking on this episode – Fireball whiskey + Cream soda = Delicious! Plus a random discussion about coffee.
2016 Netflix Originals Part 1

* Fuller House – Definitely worth the watch if you were a fan of the original series back in the 90s or in the last two decades as it has run in syndication.
* Daredevil (Season 2) – Marvel has done an awesome job on these Netflix episodes because they can do so much in this format that can’t be done on network TV.
* PeeWee’s Big Holiday – Same personality as back in the day, so check it out. Totally makes you forget about him jerking off in a movie theater.
* Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (Season 2) – So freaking funny. Enough said.
* Patton Oswalt’s Talking for Clapping (stand-up comedy special) – So unbelievably funny. He is delightful. Also recommended: Lady Dynamite. Also, check out the College Humor series of BadMan (a take on Batman) – Patton Oswalt plays the Penguin and it’s awesome.
* House of Cards – Creepy and awesome.
* Grace and Frankie – Meh. This one had high hopes, but hasn’t really thrilled me yet.

Episode 56 – Infomercials

Fri, 18 Nov 2016 00:54:08 -0000

Infomercials
Growing up watching television, we were constantly assaulted by the infomercial, and now the “As Seen on TV” ads. Infomercials are weird and addictive. You can’t stop watching once you get sucked in. We talk about different products that we have actually tried through the years and the ones we gleefully stayed away from. The first infomercial was for Vitamix in 1949!!

Episode 55 – Laughter is the Best Medicine

Fri, 11 Nov 2016 06:01:53 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather decide that laughter IS the best medicine and attempt to lighten the mood after all of the post-election gloom.

Laughter is the Best Medicine
We try not to get political on our show (ever), but we are recording the day after the election and really needed to get ourselves out of the funk. Our main goal is to make each other (and hopefully all of our listeners) laugh. We are not comedians, even though we are funny as shit most of the time, but we are trying. Hopefully it will bring a smile through the tears.
Rule of thumb – If you have an opinion about someone else’s Facebook post, keep that shit to yourself. If you want to start a conversation on YOUR wall, go for it (and be respectful and not an asshole), but don’t go on someone else’s status and be a dick.
Now sit back and relax and listen to us try to make each other laugh. Also, be prepared for the funniest joke in all the universe…allegedly. Man… these jokes are stupid. And awesome.
Also, go leave us a 5-star review.
Next Book Club…
Hey fans! We need some suggestions on future books you would like to hear us discuss! Tweet us @nerdybitchespod, find us on Facebook, or e-mail us at ContactUs@nerdybithces.com.

Episode 54 – Star Trek

Fri, 28 Oct 2016 10:29:06 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather welcome back Kitty into the studio to talk all about Star Trek! It’s been pretty much since the beginning of the podcast since we talked Trek (and that was in the Star Wars vs. Star Trek episode, if you missed it.), so we felt it was time to get to it!

Star Trek: Past, Present, and Beyond
All three of us watched a lot of these growing up over the years, so we really wanted to get into the shows vs. the movies vs. the reboot movies. Random aside: Netflix is completely worth buying. While their content may be down, it is super cheap and has a great catalog of both shows and movies to watch whenever you want. Another random aside – Dancing with the Stars is delightful.
Space whores, aliens in mini skirts, Tribbles, and more – all about the original series. We all loved Next Generation. We talk about the different series and each of the movies for both the original cast and next gen. We then move into the reboots – why did they decide to reboot the original series versus creating a new crew like the previous incarnations did over the years?
Klingon Hug Dungeons.

Star Trek
The original series had a pretty tight-knit crew, as opposed to a much larger work-family-life like the following series. Deep Space Nine was basically a space soap opera. Netflix is awesome for getting on board with these shows if you haven’t seen them (or haven’t seen them in years) since you can sit down and watch from start to finish without waiting. Where were we before binge watching??
"Shut your math hole!"

Favorite Alien Races:
-Klingons
-Ferengi
-Borg
-Andorians
-Q
Geek vs. Basic Bitch: Do you know the difference between a Cardassian and a Kardashian?

Go check out Trekkies and For the Love of Spock because they are both awesome.

Episode 53 – Book Club: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Fri, 21 Oct 2016 17:37:29 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather welcome Kitty back into the studio for our Book Club: Pride and Prejudice and ZOMBIES!! We read the original Jane Asten classic along with the zombified version to compare the two. It’s a boozylicious episode!

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
None of us had read the original before, which is why we went ahead and read both books for this particular book club. We gab for a while about the books we had to read (but probably didn’t) in high school.
Listen in as we discuss our thoughts on the books, the use of language in the books, and the addition of zombies and whether is added anything to the original storyline. In the zombie version, we really enjoyed the fact that Charlotte turns into a zombie and nobody notices. In this book, your main job was zombie hunting, until you got married. Then your hunting days were over.
Book Club: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Also, cousin marriages are gross. And pre-marital blood tests are weird. There were a lot of great comedic moments in both books. We also realize that we probably wouldn’t have been rich in this scenario. We would be servants or merchants, and that pretty well sucks. Also, traveling for days to see your family who are just a few miles away. And Mrs. Bennet is an asshole.
So many more thoughts, but I’m pretty sure no one reads the show notes anyway 😉 This will be the experiment to see who is still reading. In our next episode, we will be talking all about Star Trek – the shows, the movies, and the reboots! Make sure you check back in with us next week!
Book Club: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Episode 52 – 2016 Movie Review – Part 2

Fri, 14 Oct 2016 18:24:19 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather complete the 2016 Movie Review – Part 2. Listen is as we continue talking about the movies we have seen, those we haven’t, and the ones we are looking forward to between now and the end of the year.

2016 Movie Review – Part 2
Picking up where we left off in last week’s episode, we got halfway through May, so here we roll!
May

* Angry Birds The Movie – We didn’t see, nor do we really care to see. We may come across it at some point, so time will tell.
* Alice Through the Looking Glass – No interest for Heather. Liz saw the first one and enjoyed it more than she thought she would and will probably see this one in the future, but didn’t get around to it in the theaters. (In Liz’s story, it was Carol Channing, NOT Phyllis Diller. Sorry.)
* X-Men: Apocolypse – We liked it and may need to watch it again to get more of the details. We love their version of Quicksilver better than the one from The Avengers. We also really like Wolverine, obviously.

June

* Finding Dory – We haven’t seen it and heard it isn’t that great, but we will see.
* Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 – Haven’t seen, not big fans of Michael Bay.
* The Nice Guys – This one didn’t get its due, so go check it out. Very much in the vein of Lethal Weapon. So much fun – high praise from Heather!
* Swiss Army Men – Harry Potter becomes a human swiss army knife. It looked really good and funny, so it is one to check out. We haven’t seen it yet, but we will track it down when it comes out.
* The BFG – This was a childhood classic book, so we will probably come across this movie. It came out right around the time we were doing Comicpalooza, so it was a tough time.
* Independence Day: Resurgance – We didn’t get to see this and we really wanted to, but it was super slammed in the reviews, so I guess we will come across it sooner or later.
* Warcraft – We weren’t into the game, but the trailers look pretty epic, so maybe we will see it at some point. Video games don’t always translate well to movies, so we will see.

July

* Secret Life of Pets – We were so interested in seeing this! The previews started coming out back in January and looked so good! Neither of us had the chance to see it, so we will see it at some point.
* Ghostbusters – People crapped all over this movie, but it was awesome. It wasn’t the same as the original movie (which honestly wasn’t the best movie ever – it survives on nostalgia), and that was the best part. It didn’t throw the fact that they were all girls in your face. They just were. They were smart and awesome.
* Star Trek Beyond – We both liked it better than the last one. It was a good movie and had some great comedic moments. They did a lovely nod to the death of Leonard Nemoy, which we really loved. The Bones/Spock/Kirk relationship in this movie was amazing and really nods back to the roles they had in the original series. Check out For The Love of Spock on iTunes – It’s a documentary by Adam Nemoy (Leonard Nemoy’s son) talking about the life and career of his dad. It was beautiful and completely worth watching. Plus, Beastie Boys Sabotage being played as “classical music” was pure awesome.
* Bad Moms
* Batman: The Killing Joke – Came out for one day only before the DVD release. We went to see this with several other area podcasters and that part was fun. The show is twelve shades of fucked up.

August

* Suicide Squad
* Pete’s Dragon
* Kubo
* Florence Foster Jenkins

Episode 51 – 2016 Movie Review Part 1

Fri, 07 Oct 2016 06:01:32 -0000

In this episode, Heather and Liz cover a 2016 Movie Review – Part 1 for our annual episode. Make sure to catch up next week with the second part of the episode. Last year, we did our first year-in-movies review, so we are excited to bring this back as an annual event.

Movies – Part 1 (January through May)
Listen in as we talk month by month through the first half of the year covering the movies we did see versus the ones we wanted to see.
January

* The Hateful Eight – Samuel L Jackson at his best. This technically came out in January, though it did have a release date in December.
* The Witch – how did you like this, horror fans?

February

* Pride and Prejudice and Zombies – We have a book club coming up on this book in the next few weeks, so we haven’t seen the movie yet. Stay tuned!
* Zoolander 2
* DEADPOOL!!! We both just LOVED this freaking movie. We didn’t know what to expect, but it blew all expectations out of the water. So funny and bloody at the same time. SUPER offensive, so stop taking your kids to see these thing! We are thinking of doing a movie commentary on this movie because there is so much to talk about. We apologize for not getting an episode out earlier, but this year has been crazy busy. Well done, MCU! Well done indeed.
* Zootopia – This movie was really cute! Great messages and fun for both kids and adults.

March

* 10 Cloverfield Lane – Didn’t see it, but Heather is looking forward to it.
* Whiskey Tango Foxtrot – A maybe later movie
* Divergent: Alligient – OMG This totally made us happy that it crapped out and went straight to distribution. We absolutely hated the third useless book of the series when we did our book club episode, so this just gave us a lot of joy. Of course, we still keep on ranting.
* Batman vs. Superman – We are so tired of talking about this movie. The extended edition was definitely better than the theatrical release. It was really curious why they would cut out these SUPER IMPORTANT plot points in favor of the crap scenes they let in. Wonder Woman is still the best part of this movie. Stop fucking it up, DC.
* My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 – We didn’t get a chance to see this, but really want to.

April

* The Boss – We didn’t get around to seeing this. The trailer didn’t do as much for us as Spy or The Heat. We hope it is great, but we haven’t seen it. Probably Netflix later.
* Hard Core Henry – We aren’t big on the shaky-cam first person stuff. It is nauseating.
* The Huntsman: Winter’s War – Didn’t see, but are more interested in seeing it now that it doesn’t have Kristen Stewart.
* The Jungle Book (live action)
* Keanu

May (Part 1)

* Captain America: Civil War – WOOOOOO!!! We both really loved this one! We really meant to do an entire movie review on this one, but didn’t get around to it with all of our Comicpalooza daze. Team Cap vs. Team Tony – we aren’t really buying the lineup here.

Catch us next week for the second half of our annual movie review!

Episode 50 – Adulting

Fri, 30 Sep 2016 16:18:14 -0000

Welcome to our 50th episode of Nerdy Bitches Podcast!! We will be discussing the world of Adulting to celebrate this auspicious occasion! We will be talking about what we thought being an adult would be like as a kid versus the harsh reality, what we would recover from childhood if we could, and what we wouldn’t go back to for anything. We also had some fans weigh in on the issue, so we will give them a shout-out as well!

All About Adulting
We have been wanting to do this for a while, so we decided to bust it out for our 50th episode! Heather recently went to a Podcasting 101 panel (Producer Craig was on the panel), so she talks about that, even though she can’t remember the names of people. Sorry guys!
As always, we go off on a tangent about horror movies and why we really can’t watch them like we did when we were kids/teenagers.
Adulting questions:

* As a kid, what did you think being an adult would be like?
* What has been the reality of adulthood?
* What do you wish you could recover from childhood?
* What would you never go back to?

Notes From the Fans

* Mary S. – “I thought that I would FEEL LIKE an adult (you know, on the inside!). I’m 50 and I feel like I’m about 18.”
* Monica B. – “I thought I could have ANYTHING I wanted. Turns out I had everything I wanted as a kid, less so as an adult. I also thought that my memories would be the same color and quality as photos. You know, the grainy, dull color of poloroids? Yeah, I thought as an adult my memories of being a child would look like that in my head.”
* Liberty S. – Definitely didn’t expect the marital strife and the bill paying. Also expected to be doing better than I am at my age (mid-30s).
* Magdalena S. – Complete freedom but that is not the case at all
* Drew W. – I thought I’d be able to just buy whatever I want as soon as I got a job. When you kill yourself for half the day to make a dollar to go to the store, six bucks and hour looks like opulence of an immesurable magnitude. Of course, I still kind of buy whatever I want as an adult anyway. Thank God for credit card debt.
* Kramer M. – I thought I’d have free time. I thought after college I’d be able to come home and just do whatever I wanted for 4 to 5 hours. Oh, and sleep.
* @nerdthugradio – Totally thought adult life meant weekly visits the Home Depot and I was wrong.
* @sealeadams – 1. theory: cereal for dinner is possible. reality: achievement unlocked! 2. theory: I’d be married with kids by now. reality: dodged that bullet. 3. theory: I would one day like broccoli. reality: go to hell broccoli.
* @80sMveGraveyard: I just figured I would have been a pro wrestler with the world’s largest comic collection.
* @tipsyreview: There are more dishes than I had hoped for. Also, BILLS!
* @zakfield: Thought being an adult would be boring work then I started playing D&D + building robots + VR.

Episode 49 – Pokemon GO

Fri, 16 Sep 2016 19:10:05 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather finally talk about Pokemon GO, get our first icky e-mail from a “fan”, and answer some questions of the week from the Houston Nerd-Casting Collective (houstonnerd.org).

Reminder that our next book club is coming up soon, and we will be reading both Pride and Prejudice AND Pride and Prejudice and Zombies to compare the two.
Pokemon Go
It’s been a few months since the release of Pokemon Go back in July, so it is time for us to finally hop on the bandwagon to talk about. We were both a little too old when Pokemon originally came out in the 1990s, so we weren’t really into it back in the day. Heather has been playing every day. Liz, not so much. It is a time consuming game and encourages people to get out of the house, walk around, and meet others who are playing the games.
[Excuse the crazy dog barking in the background. She is a lunatic.]
Pokemon teams – no one really knew much about the teams and had a 1:3 chance in being on the same team, but people seem to hate each other because of the teams.
Heather’s tips:

* If you get the limited-use incubator, use those for your 10K eggs because you can use those three time.
* While lower level, save all your stardust and candies. Once you get above level 25, you need those more than when you are lower level.
* You can find BIG and great Pokemon around bodies of water. Not like a ditch, but like the beach, bayous, etc. Being in Houston, we are lucky that we have a lot of great selection. Galveston is possibly the best place in Texas to catch them, so get out there!
* Once you are in a gym, you get 10 free coins. But, only while you are IN those gyms, so take them as soon as you can so you don’t lose them.
* If you are out in the heat catching Pokemon (or out shooting portraits) in the heat, take along a Gatorade! It really helps you to fight off dehydration even better than water.

In other news…
We have been wondering how long it would take us, being female podcasters, to receive our first weird sexual troll. It finally happened this week, so we talk about this in depth.
HNCC Questions of the Week
We have been invited to be part of the Houston Nerd-Casting Collective, so we are finally sitting down to answer some of their recent questions of the week. We don’t tend to record every week, so we can’t really answer the questions in a super timely manner, so we will be doing them in batches.

Episode 48 – Who Wore It Best Superhero Edition

Fri, 26 Aug 2016 22:17:27 -0000

In this episode, Heather and Liz welcome back Carla for a boozylicious Who Wore It Best Superhero Edition of the show! We each made a delicious cocktail and we are going to gab a bit about superhero fashion, among other topics!!

Boozylicious Who Wore It Best – Superhero Edition
The Cocktails
Carla created a drink called The Jitters (after the CC Jitters character in The Flash). It consists of coffee liquor and honey-flavored vodka and can be either a shot or sipped. This one was good, and tasted a bit like a buttery nipple shot.
Liz has recycled a drink from before and renamed it (previously The Smuggler’s Delight) and now the Barry Allen. It consists of Dr. Pepper and Torched Cherry Rum. It doesn’t taste like alcohol, so drinkers beware!! It is quite delightful!
Heather’s drink is served hot and contains coffee, half an ounce of kaluha, plus vanilla vodka – this is Black Widow (aka the hot Russian).
Who Wore It Best
1. Batman – Batfleck, Bale, or Keaton?

2. Wonder Woman – TV vs Movie

3. Luke Cage – Comics vs. Marvel Netflix episode

4. The Flash – TV vs. Movie

5. Quicksilver – Avengers vs. X-Men

We also took a little time to read some Yelp reviews on Houston-area strip clubs, based on the recommendation of our friend Liz Padjen. They are delightful! If you have a little time on a Wednesday night, check out this little corner of the internet you may not have visited. BTW – all chaps are assless. Also, buying dildos in front of friends and their mothers is weird. Just sayin… Wigs are fun. Party with the gays. These are just general suggestions for life. You’re welcome! And we don’t say “tabacky” in Texas. Boots are hard to wear.

Episode 47 – 1980s Movie Graveyard Crossover

Fri, 12 Aug 2016 14:00:47 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather team up with The Goat from 1980s Movie Graveyard (podcast) to do a crossover movie commentary on 1985’s Commando!

Commentary commences…
This is a different format for us, as we usually talk about movies after we have seen them, but in this episode, we are watching the movie with The Goat and talking about it at the same time. Commando is a quintessential 80s action movie staring Arnold Schwarzenegger released in 1985.
The premise of this movie is that Arnold (John Matrix) is a retired army specialist and he is basically in witness protection, along with the rest of his team. Someone starts taking out his team in order to flush him out of hiding to get him to help overthrow a government in a third world country. In order to get him to comply, they kidnap his daughter played by Alyssa Milano. This was a serious action movie at the time, but listen as we rip it to shreds (and love every minute of it).
One Arnold makes it through the plane in record time, we get to watch him race across town after kidnapping flight attendant Cindy (Rae Dawn Chong) and somehow convincing her that he isn’t a total psychopath. Death puns commence. The total death count of this movie is 88 (81 are Arnold kills).
Follow us on Twitter (@nerdybitchespod), Instagram (@nerdybitches), Pinterest (@nerdybitches), and on Facebook (Nerdy Bitches Podcast). You can also download all of our podcasts on iTunes and Stitcher. Also, a 5-star review would be greatly appreciated!
Check out our friends at the 1980s Movie Graveyard for their awesome commentaries on different movies! We missed getting to talk with our friend CoreyG, so hopefully we will be able to do another crossover and talk with him too! You can find them on Twitter too (@80sMveGraveyard).

Episode 46 – DC TV

Fri, 05 Aug 2016 17:28:05 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather team up with our new friend Carla (http://www.carlasueinvites.com/) on to talk about D.C. TV! First, she brought us some Classy as Fuck note cards, so we were super excited about that!

On to the show…
We wanted to talk about how great D.C. has been doing in the television realm – Way to go, CW! We will mainly discuss Arrow, The Flash, and Gotham, since they are available of Netflix and 2/3 of us don’t have cable. Heather will talk about Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow. Arrow is utterly awesome. We have seen up through Season 3 (thanks, Netflix). It is total binge watching fodder. You will have to stop and watch The Flash once he comes into play because there are a lot of crossover episodes between the two shows. We all have a love for John Barrowman, who has now been cast as Malcolm Merlin in all of the DC television shows.
We pop over to American Gods (the new series coming out) for a bit and drool over the guy playing Shadow. Yum. And Dane Cook will be playing, Robbie, the douchebag, which works perfectly. If you haven’t listened to our Book Club episode on American Gods, go do it! It’s a total freak show, much like the book.
We also take some time to drool over the hot guys in the DC movies and tv shows, because we can.
This past week, Liz and Heather met up with some other Houston-area podcasters to see Batman: The Killing Joke, which we really liked. They did add a big hunk of Batman/Barbara Gordon that wasn’t in the graphic novel that was kind of pathetic.
Make sure you follow us on Twitter (@nerdybitchespod), Instagram (@nerdybitches), Pinterest (@nerdybitches), and Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/Nerdy-Bitches-Podcast-896606467044899/).
Next week, we will be having our first ever crossover episode with another podcast! We are teaming up with 1980s Movie Graveyard to do a movie commentary on 1985’s Commando! Make sure you check it out and give the graveyard guys a like!

Episode 45 – Upcoming Movies

Fri, 22 Jul 2016 17:15:39 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather team up again with Houston comedienne Liz Padjen to talk about upcoming movies! Listen as Heather and (other) Liz talk about their connection to serial killer Ted Bundy, along with all of the movies coming out soon that we are excited to see (or perhaps not). Hold onto your butts.

Movies
Heather has collected some plot summaries for movies coming up for the end of 2016/beginning 2017 for us to discuss. Movies include: Pete’s Dragon (including a tangent on wooden roller coasters that kill); Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them; Bad Santa 2 (including a rant on Angelina Jolie); Rogue One (and sticking things into droids – plans, Obi-Wan sperm, etc. Also, Tattooine is clearly Dune); LEGO Batman (and if you don’t like the Golden Girls, go fuck yourself); Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (Chris Pratt is still sex on a stick); Doctor Strange; and Justice League (Don’t fuck it up again, Zac Snyder).
We also randomly talk about House of Pies/Guys, dogs driving with birds and a man with no shirt, 90 minute Easter eggs, Golden Girls Legos, Thank You for Being a Thug, please correct my quiz score, etc. Also, check out the crazy cat’s lady’s dating video (posted below) and an addition rant about cat assholes. Random rants again with Clark Gregg and Jennifer Grey, fuck you Zac Snyder, blah blah blah. Hashtag Dick Smacker.
Check out Liz’s Thank You for Being a Thug video here:

Crazy cat lady’s dating video.

Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest. Because we say awesome shit when we aren’t on the air.
For fans of the Book Club, our next episode will cover both Pride and Prejudice AND Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. We will compare/contrast the two books and why we probably didn’t bother to read the original in high school.
Recommendations: LumberJanes; and Princeless; and Rock and Roll Bingo at House of Blues.

Episode 44 – Liz Padjen

Thu, 14 Jul 2016 16:00:49 -0000

In this episode, Heather and Liz welcome Houston comedienne Liz Padjen to the studio for the first time. Heather met (other) Liz at Comicpalooza a few weeks ago. We talk all about being a comic, a geek, and a female in a male-dominated world of comedy (especially in Houston). Her new tagline: She’s classy as fuck!

(Other) Liz tells us all about her sketch comedy group (This Time On) on public access and can also be found on YouTube, and you should totally watch her Golden Girls tribute, Thank You For Being a Thug. Nerdy Bitch Liz is a HUGE Golden Girls fan, so this is perfection!

Seriously. This entire episode is us laughing…a lot.
We talk all about horseback riding, broken grandma’s, being from Utah (and not), finding your face on a stranger’s wall, podcasts and porn stars, penises, glove fetishes, strip clubs, oh my!
This may be the funniest show we have ever recorded. We now want to go to a strip club with other Liz’s sister. New trend: reading Yelp reviews for strip clubs.
You can find Liz on her Facebook page. Definitely go check out her act and her YouTube channel.

Episode 43 – Book Club: World War Z

Fri, 08 Jul 2016 17:04:06 -0000

It’s FINALLY time to cover our Book Club: World War Z episode! We have been talking about doing this episode for months, but have been sidetracked for the past few months with convention season! You will have to forgive any forgetfulness, as it has been several months since we listened to the audio book.
We were really impressed with the format in which this book takes place, where it is all post-war interviews. We loved the audio book for this, as the cast is completely amazing, especially in the unabridged edition. Had this book been a straight narrative, we wouldn’t have been interested at all.
Some of the amazing actors in this book are Alan Alda, Nathan Fillion, Mark Hamill, Henry Rollins, Denise Crosby, Jeri Ryan, and so many more. Here is the complete cast list.
The scariest part of this book was the fact that there really wasn’t anywhere to run to that was safe. Zombies can survive in every environment, under water, up a tree, etc. As humans, we can’t even wrap our heads around this thought.
We go through some of our favorite stories and talk through our thoughts and feelings on each.

Episode 42 – Comicpalooza 2016

Thu, 23 Jun 2016 23:14:32 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather wrap up our coverage of Comicpalooza 2016. We are completely exhausted after the con, but had such an awesome time participating and being on the podcast program team this year!

Wrap Up

* We were invited by our friends at Sarah and Cassi’s Nerdy Adventure to participate in their Women in Podcasting panel Friday afternoon. This panel was so much fun! We worked with Sarah & Cassi, Jenny from I Love Flavor, and Mandy from Caster Quest. We talked about being women in the male-dominated world of podcasting, how to start your own podcast, and lessons we have learned since starting.
* We believe the con should be any time other than June, because in Houston, it is hotter than the face of the sun. Thank everything for air conditioning!
* We had a good time passing out our podcasting stickers and getting new people interested in the podcast. Then, we met these guys…

* That Predator guy’s mask clicked just like in the movie! It was really cool and a little terrifying! We also loved the gender-bending Sailor Moon! It was so much fun to see everyone dressed up and people were so nice and always willing to take a picture!
* We attended Cult 45: The Movie Podcast’s live podcast show! We love these guys!! We are looking forward to doing some kind of cross-over show with them. They are our new best friends… and we LOVE Brandon’s wife Carla! Call us! 🙂
* We also attended the Aliens Q&A, which was fantastic. We wish it would have been twice as long because with a large panel, you don’t get very far with the questions. Also, Bill Paxton totes made eye contact with Liz. She is sticking to that story.
* We attended the Business of Podcasting panel with our own Producer Craig, along with a lot of other people who run awesome podcasts. Ming Chen was also on this panel and it was great getting to meet him.
* Heather made it to the Boondock Saints Q&A, which was short one Norman Reedus. Sean Patrick Flannery was all sorts of hot and dirty. Good times.
* Con Crud is a real thing. Many people feel bad now after being around so much.

Coming Up
We were thrilled to be a part of this show and are really looking forward to next year! Now, we will be returning to our regular format and will be covering our Book Club on World War Z (Max Brooks), a superhero movie catch up (Deadpool, Captain America: Civil War, and X-Men: Apocolypse), and we will also be having some brand new guests that we met at the con!

Episode 41 – Classic Movie Club: Boondock Saints

Mon, 13 Jun 2016 22:06:08 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather cover Classic Movie Club: Boondock Saints. This was the first time either of us had seen this classic, so sit back and catch up with us. Note: this was our first time using Skype to record a podcast, so let us know how you like the style. Also – SPOILERS (duh).

We are only days away from Comicpalooza 2016 in Houston June 17 – 19, so we were excited to get this last episode out before the con. We will be participating in a panel on Friday the 17th (2:30 pm) on Women in Podcasting, so come check that out if you can. We will be giving out giveaways and such!
We normally wouldn’t do two classic movie reviews back to back, but we needed to get this up before we see the brothers in person this weekend! Get your drool rags ready!
Boondock Saints
This is another vigilante movie, which we really love, even though we probably wouldn’t like that in real life. In this story, the McManus brothers (twins – Connor and Murphy) receive a divine epiphany that they need to rid the world of wicked men so that the innocent can flourish. They start out by taking down the heads of the Russian mob in Boston and then, with the help of their idiot friend, Rocco, they move on to clearing out the Italian mob under Papa Joe. Willem Dafoe plays FBI agent Smecker and this guy is ridiculously brilliant and flamboyant.
One of the cool things about this movie is the style where we see first what the police find, and the remainder is played out through Smecker reading the crime scene. At least until he kind of goes insane. He starts to lose his way a bit and sides with the brothers and their mission because they are actually cleaning things up, where the law is also limited. He recognizes that the brothers would never harm an innocent and are just taking out the really bad guys.
Keep listening to hear our take…

Come see us at Comicpalooza and get an Official Nerdy Bitch button! We will be tweeting our locations throughout the event. Follow us on Twitter @nerdybitchespod, and Instagram @nerdybitches. We will also be using Facebook live for some video on the con floor! Nerdy Bitches Facebook

Episode 40 – Classic Movie Club Alien/Aliens

Sat, 28 May 2016 18:30:54 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather introduce their very first Classic Movie Club: Alien/Aliens in preparation for the upcoming 30th anniversary Aliens cast reunion at Comicpalooza 2016 June 17 – 19. Classic Movie Club Alien Aliens

We are combining both Alien and Aliens in this review. We are looking forward to other Classic Movie Clubs in the future.
Classic Movie Club Alien Aliens
Alien
Released in 1979. This movie was pretty tense, and we can see this at the time being scary as shit. There was so much tension and claustrophobia in this movie – It’s a capsule in space…nowhere to go. The feeling of being trapped is probably the deepest human fear. These movies force you to face the fear since there is no escape.
We watched the two movies back-to-back and it was very interesting to see the difference both the Director and script can make.
One of the main antagonists in Alien is the computer – Mother. Also, Ian Holm’s character turns out to be a robot, and they didn’t know he was a robot (and the robot goes nuts). The robot has a directive that the main goal is to get the alien – crew expendable. “Holy blinking lights!” – Heather. They had a pretty awesome light bulb budget. If you have photo epileptic seizures, you may want to skip this one.
The Alien – that shit escalated quickly! It went from Face Hugger to penis with teeth to massive monster in a matter of hours. It was also ONE monster, rather than a bunch. It almost makes it scarier, because you just don’t know where it is.
Self destruct sequence – This is the most complex self-destruction sequence we have ever seen. And then, there is no way to cancel it. They should change that. This has inspired some of the favorite things that pop up in other movies – like the self-destruct sequence in Spaceballs.
Cryo – Why does Ripley have to get in with only porn panties? Can you not go into deep sleep in a jumpsuit? Also, she is the only one to make it out of the first movie, which is tragic. At the end of the second movie, she will be the only one to get out. From an HR perspective, they are going to start thinking it’s her.
None of this would have happened if John Hurt could have kept his damn balance.
Classic Movie Club Alien Aliens
Aliens
Released 1986 – The premise here is that Ripley’s escape pod has been found 58 years after the fact. The cat is also still alive, so probably the oldest cat on record. Now, Ripley has been found by “the company” and has been asked to go back to this planet as a consultant under the agreement that they would NOT be trying to get any of the aliens off the planet, but to rescue the 70 families that were now living on the teraformed planet. The company has a giant military presence in order to make this happen.
James Cameron tends to use the same actors in all of his movies, so we recognize these people, but they don’t have enough personality to form a connection with. We were kind of rooting for the aliens over the humans, since the humans were just annoying stereotypes. We are talking to you, Bill Paxton. We LOVE you, but for all of the 1980s, you played nothing but whiny bitch characters.
We thought originally that Paul Reisser’s character was going to be the romantic interest, but fortunately that didn’t happen. More so, he turned out to be a rapist. Then, there is the character of Newt. We really like this, but it’s almost like they couldn’t get Ripley into action unless she had a child to mother, and then she would start lactating, and save the day. It felt manipulative. They also trained her on a 2-minute instruction on how to shoot a gun, but when Newt goes missing, she duct tapes two guns together and goes hunting.

Episode 39 – ComicCon Prep

Sat, 21 May 2016 18:27:47 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather talk about ComicCon Prep for the upcoming comic con season. This is also our first official episode to talk about our participation in the 2016 Comicpalooza Podcast Partnership Program! You can follow our information on Twitter and Instagram and stuff at #Comicpalooza #CPPodFam #CPHOU and #CPHTX.

This will be Liz’s first convention, so Heather will school everyone on how to do the cons well. The one thing that separates this kind of con from the classic “flea market comic book show” that we may have seen on The Simpsons is really the celebrity guests, and most of them will interact with the con-goers, which is awesome.
So, here are some things you need to know to be prepared.

* Download the convention app – Make sure you check the schedule often and keep up with the changes, in case there is a change in location/time.
* Ways to see celebrities: Sign up to get an autograph (paid) or a picture (also paid), but also the celebrity Q & As (moderated panels).
* Visit the Dealer Room often! They sell everything you can think of. Think about bringing a wheeled bag because shit gets heavy over time. Also make sure to visit Artist Alley. This is where we met Sarita Ackerman last year, who generously donated her amazing portrait of Wonder Woman that we raffled off last year.
* Think about getting a hotel room if you live far enough away because you have a place to stash your stuff, but you also have somewhere to crash.
* Buy your passes early! And if you think you only want to go to one or two days, think about buying the three-day pass because you really get the most bang for your buck.

What to expect:

* There are going to be a LOT of people there. Be prepared to stand in lines. Lots of lines. And the Q&A lines start very early.
* LOTS of walking. Wear comfortable shoes. Remember to wear your activity tracker! (Liz’s recommendation for those looking for an alternative to a fitbit – the Spire. It tracks your emotional health based on respiration, in case you have some anxiety or panic issues, it can help calm you down before it gets into a massive issue.
* Be on the lookout for quiet rooms or areas where you may be able to sit and take a rest if you tend to get overwhelmed. Bring some earbuds to zone out.
* There will be little kids there, so be sure to notice how adorable they are.

Dos and Don’t

* DO: Comfortable shoes
* DO: Bandaids (for blisters)
* DO: Cross-shoulder/messenger bag to carry things around so that you have open hands.
* DO: Check for off-site activities. There could be several activities that take place as a group after the main con concludes for the day.
* DO: Go on Friday, even if its later. The lines for tickets will be shorter.
* DO: Make friends! You will be sitting in line and chatting with people! Talk to the cosplayers and appreciate their costumes.
* DO: Go early
* DO: Get the multi-day pass, even if you only go two days (usually cheaper and it is a lot cheaper).
* DO: Go to headliner Q&As early! They will fill up quickly.
* DON’T: Make fun of other people. People have put a lot of time and money into this.
* DON’t: get frustrated.It’s easy to get annoyed, but most of these people are volunteers and they are don’t the best they can.
* DON’T be a dick.

You will have to pay for parking. The cons in Texas are all on the lightrail lines, so plan it out. If you go early, you can park in the Discovery Green underground parking, or if you are staying at the hotel, so you can park though there (again, paid).

Episode 38 – Batman v Superman

Fri, 13 May 2016 18:00:30 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather invite fellow nerdy bitches Ofelia and Eileen back into the studio to discuss Batman v Superman. SPOILERS. SPOILERS. SPOILERS.

In our last DC Comics episode, we pretty much called it “DC: Don’t Fuck It Up”, so we are going to work our way through this movie with our girls. First, the movie got pretty terrible reviews, which didn’t really sway us one way or the other because we are going to watch what we want. YOU AREN’T THE BOSS OF ME, CRITICS!!
The general consensus was that they did a good job of pulling from the comics, but may have brought in TOO many elements. It was entertaining, but there were some slow areas and some utter yawns. There is a bit of desperation in this movie. We think that they are trying to Avengers the series without bothering to do the leg work on the back stories.
We all seem to like Batfleck, which had been all of our original concerns, but he did a great job. We were so excited to see Wonder Woman, but she was completely underutilized throughout and just didn’t make any sense. She seemed to be there to keep the whining bitches of Batman and Superman from beating each other to death with their dicks.
We hate Lex Luther. Bad actor and badly performed. Such a colossal pussy.He could have been played a lot more like Tony Stark because Lex is a genius, but in this movie he is just fucking nuts.
Side Note: The new Aquaman is fucking hot. But why is he holding his breath? And why does his trident look like a rake? Is he gardening??
Keep on listening, as we have a lot to say. BECAUSE I’M BATMAN!!!!!

Episode 36 – Book Club: Lamb

Wed, 20 Apr 2016 22:35:15 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather talk about our most recent Book Club: Lamb by Christopher Moore. We LOVE THIS BOOK. It is so funny and also makes you think. Here is the disclaimer – if you are super starchy religious or have a stick up your ass, you may want to skip that episode.

The Book
Note: Donkey and Goat Wine is what Heather is talking about – fermented natural wine that tastes like grape juice. Check it out.
We will soon be adding a Classic Movie Club to our podcast, in addition to our Book Clubs. Our first movies will be Alien/Aliens since there will be a reunion of Aliens at Comicpalooza in Houston in June.
Here’e the plot of the book: The angel Raziel has come back 2,000 years after the death of Christ and has brought back Biff, Jesus’ childhood pal, to tell his Gospel – the 30 year gap in what happened to Jesus (Joshua) from about age 6 until his death. Biff is locked in a hotel room, writing his version of events of the day. Since Joshua is supposed to be the Messiah and is to be without sin, he gets Biff to do the sinning for him, and then tell him about it later. They also have their childhood friend, Mary Magdalene (Maggie) to contend with. She is in love with Joshua and Biff is in love with Maggie… good times.
Joshua and Biff go on an epic journey throughout the land searching for the three magi who were present at his birth to try to learn how to be the Messiah; Balthazar, Gaspar, and Melchior are there names.
Lots of love, sinning, sex, Bible stuff, and more. Read it, listen to it, and listen to us. Because this is cool Jesus. And we like cool Jesus. Trust us, yo.

Episode 37 – Intro to Anime

Wed, 20 Apr 2016 17:49:17 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather welcome some new guests into the studio for an intro to anime! We brought Ofelia (she drew our podcast photos) and Eileen to teach us a little more about why people like anime and what we should look into. Both Ofelia and Eileen have great stories about anime influencing their lives.
Our questions – What the hell is anime and why should we dig it? Their answer: Art!
– What is the difference between anime and manga?
Some that Heather and I watched: Desert Punk, Black Butler, Attack on Titan, Cowboy BeBop… we are still exploring.
Anime seemed to pick up steam in America back in the 90s. There are a lot of great conventions (ACON) for anime.
We love the use of color that is way over the top compared to American animation.
Listen in for the rest of this episode, as our amazing guests have a lot to say about the wonders of anime!
Recommended shows for newbies – There are so many categories to choose from. Do your research to find your favorites. Samauri 7 (historical), Attack on Titan, Honey and Clover, DeathNote (psychological), Full Metal Alchemist (emotional)

Bitch of the Week – Kids who spoil the holiday secrets for other kids. This makes Liz go all aunt-zilla. It’s just mean, and I blame their parents for not making sure they don’t do this. It isn’t right and it isn’t fair to crap all over someone else’s beliefs. This goes for anyone trying to “clue people in” to what is “true.” Fuck you.

Also check out our upcoming episodes as we head toward Comicpalooza! We are part of the Comicpalooza Podcast Partnership Program this year and are really looking forward to it! We will be doing several episodes directly related to the con, so keep up with us in the coming weeks!

Episode 35 – Geek Crushes

Tue, 05 Apr 2016 16:56:15 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather have invited back our friends Jessica and Lanie to talk all about Geek Crushes!

We get to marry our two favorite topics – geeks and boys! (Or girls… we don’t discriminate!). Heather’s childhood crush was Wil Wheaton, Liz’s was River Phoenix, and Lanie mentioned Leonord Nemoy, and Jessica loves Hugh Jackman. Operaman was helpful enough to help us come up with the world’s longest list of geeky crushes, both male and female. Crushes are not really sexualized, they are really just the people we want to moon over, have coffee with, and who makes us smile.
Some of these people we absolutely love more because of who they are and what they stand for, other than just what they look like.
*Side Note: We will be playing a game of Dungeons & Dragons with a bunch of newbie gals soon, so that would be awesome.
Catherine Tate and David Tennet are freaking awesome, so check this out.

Neil deGrasse Tyson – Liz totally has a geek crush on him, but Heather doesn’t get why.
We are realizing that as we get older, we are much more attracted to someone who is smart and interesting, rather than just the dude with the abs. This really crushes the stereotype that women really like the bad boy over the nice guy. Lanie has done some psychological research on this… the bad boys get the girls BECAUSE they are originally NICE, and then they flip their “douche switch” and the ladies keep chasing the dragon of the nice guy.
Joseph Gordon Levitt – cutest thing ever! We could totally stick him in our pockets and just snuggle him! He also has a really cool new project called HitRecord.org that you should completely check out. It is a community site for creative people to work together to create awesome new projects.
Make sure to listen to the whole episode to hear us drool over the whole list.

Episode 34 – Cosplay

Tue, 08 Mar 2016 17:49:00 -0000

In this episode, Liz and Heather branch out to explore the world of Cosplay with our friends, Lanie and Jessica, who love to play dress up and do cosplay at different conventions, etc. Neither Heather not Liz participate in cosplay, so we wanted to start in 2016 exploring other areas of Geekery!

Lanie and Jessica explain to us the reason why they enjoy dressing up in costumes (both have a musical theater background) and what it takes to get into something like this, both financially and time-wise. We talk about their favorite parts of the processes and where they go with this. PS – Apparently, JoAnn’s Fabrics is the place to be, and there should also be a bar there. Remember this idea for a future business empire.
Lanie hates the process of putting things together – it is a means to an end. Jessica loves sewing and putting them together. Both gals love wearing “secret” costumes – things that are a nod to their fandom, without blatantly stating it. Lanie also does “adulting costumes” when she wears work clothes.
Heather and Liz may need to consider this, but will probably need someone with some mad sewing skillz, since I don’t think we have any. Skills, that is.
Favorites:

* Jessica: Dalek and River Song
* Lanie: Gaige (Borderlands 2) and Codex (The Guild) and Khalessi (Game of Thrones)

Jessica’s favorites:

Lanie’s favorites:

Liz’s closest attempt at cosplay – Beth Chapman (Dog the Bounty Hunter’s wife)

Heather’s LoveBug with Producer Craig as Indiana Jones:

Follow us in the next episode where Jessica and Lanie join us again for a long talk about our Geek Crushes!! Also, be prepared in a couple of weeks for our next Book Club – Lamb by Christopher Moore.

ALSO – if you want costume help or to commission a costume, contact Jess at jessica.s.richards@gmail.com – She will let you know whether or not she can help and what she charges. Don’t be a dick and ask for shit for free, yo! 🙂
