Nerdy Show 246 :: The Gene Pool: Human-Animal Hybrids and the Deadpool Movie
Every other week, The Nerdy Show Network’s flagship podcast unloads on the latest geek news and happenings!
No doubt about it – reality is getting stranger by the day. When scientists are citing sci-fi fears of human-animal hybridization as a danger too real to risk, we’re officially off the deep end. Whether we go the route of Animal Farm, Island of Dr. Moreau, or even an anthropomorphic utopia; Nerdy Show will be there for off-color commentary on this crazy nerd world of ours.
Meanwhile, in other laboratory fiction: our favorite Merc With A Mouth, Deadpool is finally hitting the big screen in a true to form adaptation of his murderous misadventures. Or at least we hope it’s true to form… Join Cap, boR, Jess, and Doug as we take on the fan-requested topic of the upcoming film as well as get you hip to the latest craze: Pocket Mortys! We swap stories of collecting an entourage of young boys and making them battle – similar to, but legally-distinct from Pokémon. That’s far from all – tune in for your weekly dose of comics, video games, sci-tech, and film!

the Human-Animal Chimeras story is only missing an island and darpa to bring one of my favorite books to life “Island 731”
Really happy for you guys getting a sponsor this week. It’s great to see a company recognizing you’ve got a marketable audience and I hope more sponsors follow suit. As a poor grad student I haven’t got the budget to be supporting them, but Comic Bento sounds like a really cool concept and I hope they do well in the subscription box market. I’ll be sure to point them out to all my comic-loving friends with disposable income.
As for the inquiries about the format change, honestly I didn’t notice much of a difference. I suppose it was more loosely structured, but no more so than a normal conversation. I’d say whichever format you guys end up sticking with will be fine.
Thanks for the feedback Delphi! Like we’re always saying, telling a friend can be even more powerful than donating a little, so don’t feel bad that you can’t afford it. Remember to pass along the coupon code NERDY so we get recognition and they get $5 off.
The new way we recorded this episode took about 1/5 of the time in post compared to the previous fully produced episode, so if there isn’t much of a difference, this will probably be the way we go. Right now we’re toying around with the idea of adding a video element as well!
Stay tuned!
