"That's the opposite of having a gift, George."

--Kevin

How could you possibly condense 40 years worth of comic book stories, told across multiple titles and timelines into one movie and have it maintain all the appeal of the original material?  Well, you cannot.  BUT...if you just want to make a kick-ass, really fun Sci-Fi Comic Book movie with some great characters and memorable moments then you hire James Gunn.  We talk about GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, which Kevin has never seen and George has seen about 50 times.  So, break out your Rocket Raccoon Happy Meal Toys and your Drax the Destroyer Slurpee Cups and buckle in for an HOUR of Busy Dads talking about a comic book movie.

Enjoy and thanks for putting up with us!

The Real Fans finally get around to roundtabling Christopher Nolan's new sci-fi epic Interstellar (better late than never). They also geek out over dinos, Starlord, motorcycles, and velociraptors in the new trailer for the latest Jurassic Park film, Jurassic World!

In honor of Dan getting the biggest compliment of his life from last week's guest (who compared him to Chris Pratt...), he chose Star-Lord as his weekly warrior. James picked some weird little girl from some League of Legends crap because he's James. JK LoL is pretty solid. But the worst pick of all was Andy's choice for us to fight in the town where Gilmore Girls took place. Stars Hollow. I feel my testicles shriveling just typing it.

In this episode the villains go over the news that Frieza will be resurrected in the new DBZ movie coming to Japan in 2015. Also Jay gives his review on the Disney/Marvel film "Big Hero Six."  And finally Shane gives his thoughts on "Guardians of the Galaxy" after FINALLY seeing it.

TW (Trigger Warning): this episode features some pretty stark discussion of depression, relating to the sad death of Robin Williams. There's also some fairly frank discussion - and we make our opinion pretty clear - on the continuing situaion in Ferguson, Missouri.

Episode 45...five less than fifty...wonder what we'll do in five episodes' time?

For now, we welcome Emily's boyfriend Pete (an awesome creator in his own right), to share laughs and opinions - first on the menu is the pretty damn epic Guardians of the Galaxy, which is apparently winning over the hearts, minds and wallets of pretty much everybody! We move on to more sombre news, remembering with immense fondness the genius of Robin Williams, celebrating his life and career by listing films we really need to see again. There's a bit of tangential discussion about how childhood favourites change and evolve - especially when adapted into massive blockbuster movies - a little of a Muppet rant, a little semi-political PSA, and then we head out!

If you enjoyed the episode, loved Pete as much as we loved having him on, or want to tell us to stop being controversial (we may not), you can Like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, subscribe to us and review on iTunes, or even email us, at disnerds@gmail.com - and, as always, enjoy!

The crew returns to discuss a movie and a movie career.

This week, it's Brant, John, Chuck M. and Mike L.

We all reminisce about the life and career of Robin Williams to start things off. That leads into Lauren Bacall and other sidetracks.

For Topic Time, we finally discuss the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, implications for sequels, and news about the future of that property.

And we close out the show with announcements.
