It's been so fun to revisit Phase 4, but we know that there's some serious stinkers in there. What do you think was the worst film in Phase 4? And should have we have Snacks back to talk about Love and Thunder?

Love & Thunder & Horsesh*t

Yeah, Tony Stark is dead but like...someone coulda helped Peter out.

MIT Would Never

Oh please, like you weren't thinking it? What do you think -- if your partner's multiversal variants show up, are you smashing??

3 Spider-Mans?

It's hard to watch our favorite characters get kicked while they are down, but I'm reminded of another movie about a traumatized hero..."why do we fall, sir?"

Spider-Man and Resiliency

What do you think? Did Aunt May need to die to further the plot or was it a step too far, all things considered?

How much is too much?

Hulu, you f*cked with the wrong fanbase for real.

Hulu, count your days

Shauna asking the tough questions...."Why....five villains" when The Sinister Six was right there.. Which villain from the other Spider-Man movies should have rounded out Spider-Man's most famous group of nemeses? 

The Sinister...Five

As we continue our Phase 4 re-watch, we keep asking ourselves -- what is next for these characters? Well, thankfully, there's a lot of teams that can come into a play. What team roster do you want to see Simon on?

What's next for the heavy hitters?

What did you think about using the a fictional movie like Wonder Man as a plot device to bring Simon Williams the actor into the MCU?

Meta Moments

Drop your best RuPaul pun for Wonder Man in the comments.

"Simon Williams, when you arrived, you weren't quite filling us with Wonder, man. But now, you are more than just ionic...you are ICONIC." 

Don't Fuck it Up

THUNDERBOLTS* SPOILER WARNING: We do start talking about Thunderbolts* / The New Avengers around 12:00. I didn't think I'd need to put that since the movie is like 2 months old but I found out after we recorded that Dara had NOT in fact seen Thunderbolts yet and I absolutely spoiled it for them. So SPOILER ALERT!

Hey True Believers - after a brief hiatus, we've returned with our 20th episode! Join us with our special guest Hot Nerd, Dara, as we discuss the Queer Nerd classic "Chasing Amy."

Real Hot Nerd Shit is a pop culture podcast dedicated to reclaiming the word “nerd” and expanding the definition to include all of us. A nerd is simply a person that’s as knowledgeable as they are passionate about a certain topic that is sometimes considered weird, uncool, or unpopular.

Each episode we’ll dissect some of our favorite nerd content in a specific theme from our own lenses as queer and trans people, with help from special guests along the way. 

So basically, it’s real hot nerds talking about real nerd shit.
