Unfunny Nerd Tangent

Well, it finally happened. Universes collided when Spider-Man: No Way Home was recently released, and we’re here to deliver all the spoilerific goodness. How many legacy characters can you spot? Is the MCU / Netflix war over? What’s up with the sling ring? And can J. Jonah Jameson really teach Reed Richards to play the drums? All this and a WHOLE lot more (you know what we’re talking about) on the latest episode of your friendly neighborhood Unfunny Nerd Tangent. Hosted by: ‘Captain Boomerang’ Greig Tansley (@GreigT13).

After a divisive first part, Masters of the Universe: Revelation returns with its final five episodes, so we decided to see what all the fuss (if any) was about. We welcomed back 'Alpha Magnus' Toby Hixon and newcomer, Dave Kindler from Tom Servo’s Used Robots to discuss Kevin Smith’s new marketing approach, Hulk Adam, HeVil-Lyn, equity casting and of course, battle boners. So if you’ve got the power, check out Episode 130! Hosted by: 'Captain Boomerang' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13). Featuring: 'Macho Man He-Man Savage' Alphamagnus Toby Hixon (@Alphamagnus) & Dave Kindler (@tomservosusedrobots). Music by: Bear McCreary.

After several delays, Marvel’s latest movie, Eternals, is finally here. But what did we think? Is this movie the new Age of Ultron? Is it a landmark new direction for the MCU and comic book films in general? Or is it a bland, slow-paced slog? Better check Rotten Tomatoes. Oh, wait. No, don’t. Either way, we discussed this movie and several of its talking points, and still aren’t sure exactly what to think, besides all the accidental Game of Thrones references. So get ready for your own Emergence as we welcome back Mike Seibert from Mike Seibert Radio to join us on Episode 129: Eternals. Hosted by: 'Captain Boomerang' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13). Featuring: 'Tinkerbell' Tim Agne (@timagne), 'Superjew' Jared Robinovitz (@Superjew75) and Mike Seibert (@MikeSibertRadio). Music by: The Bangles & Pink Floyd.

As the MCU brings us yet another show to consume, we decided to dive into the multiverse to not only ponder the question, but also review the new Disney + series – What If…? We took a look at what might happen if Agent Carter took the super serum, T’Challa became a Star Lord, Ultron, Yellowjacket and Killmonger won, Doctor Strange lost his heart, Dude Bro Thor and of course… zombies. Lots of zombies. Not to mention, the multitude of other unwieldly inquiries, such as why wasn’t Carol worthy, is Andrew W.K. the new Howard the Duck, and could Tom Cruise kick Jared’s ass? Find out the answers to these mysteries and many more, as UNT dares to ask – What If…? Hosted by: 'Captain Boomerang' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13). Featuring: 'Mean Girl Supreme' Tim Agne (@timagne) & 'Superjew' Jared Robinovitz (@Superjew75). Music by: R.E.M. & Black Sabbath.

The MCU continues to expand with yet another hit movie, Shang Chi & The Legend of the Ten Rings. This episode, your bus-driving UNT team dives into the movie feet fist, pondering what it means for the greater MCU in general, alongside the perils of a modern day Fu Manchu, the mystery of Fin Fang Foom and more potential mispronunciations that you can shake a dragon scale at. Now, excuse us, we have to go to Karaoke. Hosted by: 'Captain Boomerang' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13). Featuring: 'Master of the Onion Rings' Tim Agne (@timagne) & 'Superjew' Jared Robinovitz (@Superjew75). Music by: Joel P. West & The Eagles.

After years of build-up, Kevin Smith and Netflix finally released Part 1 of Masters of the Universe: Revelation, to mixed reviews (to say the least) and a storm of controversy. So we assembled the greatest heroes and villains from across the UNTiverse to rate and review this new show in epic fashion. If you weren’t up to speed on the current controversy, then buckle up your Roton, because we went in harder than a Land Shark looking for its next sacrificial Trollan. But beyond all that, we managed to review the show on its merits and boy, if you thought tangents were our thing before, get ready to unleash your inner Sorceress as we found ourselves discussing the possibility of Tri-Klops going on tour with Black Flag, a world where Jason Mewes or even Don Knotts could have been He-Man, Macho Mer-Man Randy Savage, why you should never touch Cringer’s stapler and yes, the secret origins of Wun-Dar. Oh yeah, and THAT Sailor Moon mash-up. So break into Snake Mountain, avoid the Stinkors and get ready to embrace th

With more variants than you can poke a pruning baton at, the MCU continues to expand with the new television series, Loki. We delved into the secret files of the TVA to find the answers to this mysterious show, and were still left with questions about its glorious purpose. But we did find Throg, and Tim brought Josta for everyone! We may have had some divided opinions on this show, but one thing is for sure – this marks the beginning of a whole new chapter for the MCU, and its branching effects will be felt for years to come, until Jared is left alone at the end of time. Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Wanda, Kang and yes, even Mephisto are discussed on this unfortunately Jet ski-free podcast. So, unless you’re a robot (and don’t know it), step into the Void and listen to UNT 123: Loki. Just watch out for Alioth. Hosted by: 'Captain Boomerang' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13). Featuring: 'Josta' Tim Agne (@timagne) & 'Superjew' Jared Robinovitz (@Superjew75). Music by: Natalie Holt.

It's been a long time coming, but the MCU is back on the big screen! Phase Four kicks off in Budapest style with the release of Black Widow. We squeezed our dad bods into our old superhero suits to sit down and discuss the long-awaited MCU solo movie for Scarlet Johansson and the Black Widow character, daring to try and connect the dots between Dr. Claw, Seinfeld, Red Hulk and broken noses with nothing more than an unhealthy amount pockets and posing. Was this movie the grand swan song Black Widow deserved? Or are you a mysoginistic, toxic man-baby? Maybe somewhere in between. Either way... crack the code, inhale that red mist and enjoy UNT 122: Black Widow. Hosted by: 'Captain Boomerang' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13). Featuring: 'The Real Taskmaster' Tim Agne (@timagne), 'Superjew' Jared Robinovitz (@Superjew75) & Mateo Morales (@Matt_Morales). Music by: Iggy Azalea.

Big Trouble in Little China turns 35 this year, so when some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your head up against the barroom wall, looks you crooked in the eye and asks you if you paid your dues; you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that... “Have you paid your dues, Jack? Yes, sir. The check is in the mail.” So you see, we’re not saying that we've been everywhere and done everything. But we do know it's a pretty amazing planet we live on here, and a man would have to be some kind of fool to think we're all alone in this (podcasting) universe, which means for episode 121, we welcome back Caleb from the Autopod Decepticast, Neo from the Mat Mania Podcast and Mike Seibert from Mike Seibert Radio. That’s right, so on a dark and stormy night, just sit back and remember what good old Unfunny Nerd Tangent does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven

What do you do when the internet in Arizona is under siege by an alien probe of unknown origins? You slingshot around the sun with a look back at Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. The fourth entry into the Star Trek series of films has reached its 35th anniversary, so along with Caleb from the Autopod Decepticast, Greig took a quick look back at what is regarded as many people's favourite Star Trek movie, if not technically the 'greatest'. **cough** Wrath of Khan **cough** The return of jovial James T. Kirk, time-travel, punk rock, nuclear wessels, Dark Age medicine and most of all... whales! This movie has it all. So make sure you're operating on all thrusters and check out this slimline, warp-speed edition of Unfunny Nerd Tangent. It'll only take thirty damn minutes, Admiral. Hosted by: 'Captain Boomerang' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13). Featuring: Caleb Carter from The Autopod Decepticast (@ApodDcast). Music by: Jerry Goldsmith & Kirk Thatcher.

Another cartoon? Yep, but this one isn’t what you think. Cue the splatter, it’s time to talk Invincible. What do you get when you cross The Walking Dead with Booster Gold, thrown together with some graphic violence that would make Rorschach blush, garnished by a mustachioed man who used to run a newspaper, talk to bats and is obsessed with tempo? You get the new hit animated series by Robert Kirkman, based on that comic your in-the-know-friend has been bugging you to read for years. This one’s more than a little bloody, so unless you’re allergic to air, check out our new Invincible episode before you Rex Splode! Hosted by: 'Attack of the Omni-Dad' Tim Agne (@timagne). Featuring: 'Darkblood' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13), 'Robot' Jared Robinovitz (@Superjew75) & 'Battle Beast' Teek Hall (@Teek_Hall). Music by: Mega Ran (@MegaRan).

Are you ready for another Mortal Kombat movie? Neither were we, but we reviewed it anyway. So "Get Over Here!" and check it out! We'd like to say we all sat down and eloquently discussed the cultural impact that the groundbreaking Mortal Kombat had on early nineties video games, a legacy that holds true even today... but mostly we talked about Fatalities and how awesome Kano was. So if you like murder, revenge, supernatural activity, weird characters, ungodly creatures and brutal violence, please follow us Twitter (@unfunnNtangent). In the meantime, check out our latest episode: Mortal Kombat. Hosted by: 'Kano' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13). Featuring: 'Reptile' Jared Robinovitz (@superjew75), 'Plain Zero' Tim Agne (@timagne) & 'Mayor of EarthRealm' Derek Montilla (@Cap_Kaveman). Music by: The Immortals.

Are you a Falcon, a Winter Soldier, a U.S. Agent or a Flag Smasher? Well, if you watched the latest Disney+ / Marvel Television show, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, you might be a little of everything. We know we are. If you're ready for the new Captain America (and more Marvel Easter eggs than you can poke a vibranium shield at) then get ready to boogie like Zemo into this new episode of Unfunny Nerd Tangent. We take a look at all the goings on of the new series, including what it means to be Captain America, what it takes to deprogram a Winter Soldier, father-son MCU connections and of course, how Carl Lumbly walks between two worlds. If you can drag yourself away from the Madripoor rave, check out UNT 117: The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Unless you're a Skrull. Hosted by: 'Captain Boomerang' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13).

We pull out all the stops as we react to the climax of the cinematic MonsterVerse: Godzilla Vs Kong! In the mighty tradition of Alien Vs Predator, Freddy Vs Jason and of course... Batman V Superman, comes the tip-touching titans that will not stop, no matter how much splash-back is involved. If that last sentence doesn't make any sense to you, check out our latest slugfest of an episode, before this movie gets a sequel, and we all move to Canadia!

It's finally here. After four years and one really annoying hashtag, DC, Warner Bros. and HBO released the Snyder Cut, now forever known as Zack Snyder's Justice League. A (four hour) movie we thought we'd never see. But is it any good? For this 'Agne Cut' of a movie we've already reviewed, we formed a League of our own when Tim, Jared and Greig sat down with Aussie Top 3's Stacey, Mike from Mike Seibert Radio and Melissa from We Binge On Crime to discuss not only the changes, additions and improvements that Zack Snyder restored in his vision, but how this version of the film came into existence in the first place. Aspect ratios, deleted scenes, reshoots and of course, reach around jokes... it's all here. So slip on your black suit and get comfortable, then check out Episode 115 of Unfunny Nerd Tangent. We promise it's shorter than the movie. (Just.) Hosted by: 'Granny Goodness' Tim Agne (@timagne). Featuring: 'Captain Boomerang' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13), 'SuperJew' Jared Robinovitz (@Superjew75), 'Little S

What is UNT if not podcasting persevering? That’s right, we watched WandaVision (and so did you) so we put together an Avengers-level crossover to talk about it. What did the MCU do for their first ever television series? Did they play it safe? Give us a bunch of comic book splash page images, or bring in a bunch of big-name supervillains like Magneto, Doctor Doom or, wait for it… Mephisto? Despite the rumors, not really. But what they did do was deliver an outstanding take on depression, loss and grief with that magic Marvel touch, so you better believe we reviewed it in all its Hex-altered glory. Mega Ran and Rok from the MatMania Podcast returned to our show to talk all about Westview, Wanda (and funnily enough, Vision), not to mention that X-Men appearance and of course – The Scarlet Witch. It may have been ‘Agatha All Along’, but this episode is truly magic, so check it out before we all get blipped again. Thick overcoats optional. Hosted by: ‘The other comic book Harkness', 'Captain Boomerang’ Greig T

With a sequel only weeks away, (and let’s face it, everyone is running out of Netflix to watch) we took a look back at the smash hit 1988 comedy from Eddie Murphy: Coming to America. How many tangents can we go on in a single episode? More than you can shake your rose petals at. From the origins of Eddie Murphy playing multiple roles in his films, McDonald’s Vs. McDowell’s and the new version of The Stand, to the specific way that hair is NOT cut and drums are NOT hit in this movie, not to mention the genius that is Randy Watson… this one has it all. Just don’t mention Rocky Marciano. So let your Soul Glo and check out UNT 113: Coming to America. Hosted by: ‘King of Queens... land’ Greig Tansley (@GreigT13). Featuring: ‘SuperJew’ Jared Robinovitz (@SuperJew75) & 'Rocky Marciano' Tim Agne (@timagne). Music by: Nile Rodgers & Soul Glo.

Cobra Kai is back with its third season, so of course we donned our headbands to review and relive its nostalgic goodness. Brave your Vietnam flashbacks and high-school-battle PTSD, return to Okinawa and reopen your Facebook account, since this season had more to dissect that you can throw a big, red mohawk at. Returning favorites like Chozen, Kumiko and of course, Alli with an i helped fill the gap left by Aisha and Stingray. But what about our classic characters like Johnny, Daniel, Miguel and Sam? Not to mention, Kreese and newly christened bad-boy, Robbie? How did the season unfold for them, and what’s their future look like in the upcoming Season 4? Well, we came up with some badass (and not so badass) ideas, so jump on and check out episode 112 of Unfunny Nerd Tangent. Now… “Send it to the Internet…” Hosted by: ‘Captain Boomerang’ Greig Tansley (@GreigT13). Featuring: ‘SuperJew’ Jared Robinovitz (@SuperJew75) & Mateo Morales (@matt_morales).
