Episode 22 – RoboCop & The Lego Movie!

Beth — Mon, 17 Feb 2014 12:11:14 +0000

Rhymes with Nerdy goes to the movies! How does the RoboCop remake stack up against the original? Is it cynical to call a the Lego movie a shameless ploy to increase toy sales, or is it really about imagination and creativity? One thing I know, I am never getting “Everything is Awesome” out of my head. This episode is co-hosted by Molly, Adam, and Brian!

Episode 15 – 2013 Year In Review!

Beth — Sat, 28 Dec 2013 20:34:43 +0000

After a bout of bronchitis, the podcast (and the host) are back to discuss the best, worst, and most WTF moments in 2013 with a roundtable of prior and new co-hosts! We cover everything from Hiddleston’s Loki Surprise at San Diego ComicCon, why Hannibal gave us phrases like “meat wings” and “throat cello,” how Bryan Cranston wins at life, and the crushing disappointment of Enders Game.

We are also pleased to announce the winner of our contest is Knight Errant and Champion of the show Kip Reed! Thank you for all your support of the show, Kip!

A few of the Best Moments of the year:

Episode 13 – The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug!

Beth — Sun, 15 Dec 2013 15:45:36 +0000

Brian joins Molly and I to talk about everyone’s favorite Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins! (Sorry, Samwise Gamgee). We discuss Thorin the unattainable, CGI weather, Smaug the FABULOUS, Lee Pace’s majestic eyebrows (you know I had to go there), why Martin Freeman is the best, and the inexplicable Elven-Dwarf romance elements. Not that we blame her, Kili is one fine looking dwarf.

Episode 7 – Assassins Creed!

Beth — Sat, 02 Nov 2013 22:53:26 +0000

What does Homeland have to do with the third crusade? Nothing! But we try to make that connection anyway as Jay joins myself and Brian to discuss Ubisoft’s time-traveling, globe spanning saga. Listen in stealth mode from a hay bale or you might not achieve full synchronization!

Episode 5 – Saga!

Beth — Mon, 21 Oct 2013 10:59:22 +0000

Returning all-star Brian and First Co-Host Jo join me in discussing the crown jewel of Image Comics, Saga. We have a lot to say on the collaborative work of Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples, some of it is actually insightful while some of it is just nonsense. Jo and I have ladyboners for The Stalk and I have lots of feelings about Lying Cat. Namely, I want one. Stay tuned for a contest announcement at the end!

Episode 3 – Urban Fantasy!

Beth — Sat, 19 Oct 2013 11:17:12 +0000

Rhymes with Nerdy adds to it’s ever-growing list of co-hosts when I sit down with Brian and Amber to talk about Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance. We discuss the good, the questionable, and the downright unreadable authors within the genre. This episode features lots and lots of geeking out over how amazing Sandman Slim and Mercy Thompson are. Slight warning, there is a frank talk about sex, why Harry Dresden almost never gets laid while Anita Blake seems to do nothing but.

Allow me to school you:

• For more about Sandman Slim and other works by Richard Kadrey click here. Sadly Kaos Beauty Klinik is no more but you can see Kadrey’s (SFW) Photography here.

• For more about Mercy Thompson and other works by Patricia Briggs click here.

• For more about Harry Dresden and other works by Jim Butcher click here.

• If you want to know why I have so much hate for Anita Blake, this pretty much sums it up.

Episode 2 -The Flop House!

Beth — Sat, 19 Oct 2013 10:40:55 +0000

A super-cool, laid back party dude.

Brian, Sarah and I talk about our favorite podcast, the cutest host, how much pee is too much pee, and the Dan McCoy Appreciation Society.
