179. A Number of (Occasionally) Stupid Things

On this episode of The Nerd &amp; Tie Podcast we were live at No Brand Con 2022! Nick gives a report on their trip to Karoshi Con, we discuss Our Flag Means Death, and then the rails are abandoned altogether, as we branch out to topics from Hanzo the Razor to Morbius. It’s a fun time – and we also tease Sean of Famicom Dojo and 2BWTT a bit… because he’s about ten feet away from us while we record this. Also, please excuse the mask noise from Trae. We tried to get most of it out… but beards plus KN95 masks don’t always make for great audio.

177. Unending Franchises

On this episode of The Nerd &amp; Tie Podcast we’re giving our full review of season one of Peacemaker. After that, we’re talking about some rather major upheavals in the convention scene — namely Jim Burleson’s Albuquerque Anime Fest cancelling while dealers were literally setting up and Corey Wood’s Corgi Events LLC’s apparent fall. After that, we discuss what shows we’re currently watching as comfort television to take our minds off of the… stuff… happening out there in the world. The world’s a mess, but at least we can watch a cooking show? Links:  February 9th Statement from Corgi Events LLC February 11th Statement regarding Corgi Events LLC

176. Perfect Peace and Convention Collapse

On this episode of Nerd &amp; Tie, we’re reviewing the first half of the seasons for both HBO Max’s Peacemaker and Disney+’s Book of Boba Fett. Also Trae keeps talking about Beforeigners. After that, we discuss ColossalCon’s announcement of “ColossalCon North” this November in the Wisconsin Dells — and how complicated our feelings are about it. And then we talk about anime for some reason. Like Devilman and Urusei Yatsura.

175. Do You Wanna Taste It?

It’s the end of the year, and that means it’s time to review the best and worst stuff that came out in 2021! Nick, Gen and Trae take a look at the best and worst movies, television series, Japanese imports, video games, and conventions that made 2021 a unique experience.  There are a lot of up, a lot of downs, and some definite inbetweens — plus some fresh mail in the mailbag, and a new book for the Vomit Hat Steve challenge!

174. The Best and Worst of 2021!

So the biggest news in the Midwestern con scene this last week has been long running Wisconsin anime convention Daisho Con permanently closing its doors. As Nick was a co-founder of Daisho Con — though he left the organization years ago — we thought we would go into a deep dive behind what went wrong with the event (and what we think led to its eventual end). Before that though, we talk about the passing of long time convention vendor Wayne McCloud and give our full review of Netflix’s adaptation of Cowboy Bebop. It’s a hell of a ride.  Daisho Con story begins at 36 minute mark

173. The Death of Daisho Con

On this month’s installment of The Nerd &amp; Tie Podcast we talk about the latest controversies surrounding the convention Bubba Fest, the inspirational Lightyear trailer, our Dune review, the new Cowboy Bebop trailer, and our thoughts on Star Trek: Prodigy. Technical difficulties may have delayed the episode to the very end of the month, but we’re here and it’s a pretty great episode.

172. It Still Counts When You’re a Lizard

On this episode of the Nerd &amp; Tie Podcast, we’re discussing Russell T. Davies’s return to Doctor Who, Disney suing to retain the full rights over Spider-Man (and a lot of other characters), Netflix releasing the opening credits to the upcoming Cowboy Bebop live action series, our Shang Chi thoughts, and how Wizards of the Coast is introducing a new version of the Dungeons &amp; Dragons core rule books. It’s a lot of ground to cover in not a lot of time.

171. Openings and Closings

Updated every month, the Nerd &amp; Tie Podcast dives into our geeky world head first.  Nick, Trae and Gen go into in depth discussions on all topics nerdy and geeky, and hope to come out with something interesting at the end. Usually they do.

The well-dressed gentlemen of Nerd &amp; Tie meet every fortnight to discuss the latest news in comic book and convention culture. Many recent episodes have devoted a lot of time to breaking down the emerging popularity of comic-based movies and TV shows as well. Listener feedback happens every episode, and listeners have a chance to enter the Hall of Awesome. What more could you ask for?

The Nerd & Tie Podcast

On this episode of Nerd &amp; Tie we decided to check in around the network to see how everyone is doing during the current lock down. Joining Nick, Gen and Trae for this episode are  folks from Stormwood &amp; Associates (Kyle Johnson), Let’s Be Legendary (Megzie Sass-Council, Cris Sass-Council, Molly Hexcroft), and Famicom Dojo (Sean Corse). We talk about what we’re doing, what we’re playing, and how we’re coping. Before that though, we do our job and hit the headlines. San Diego Comic Con and Anime Expo have both been cancelled for obvious reasons, and ACE Comic Con is suing GrowTix. It’s an adventure to say the least. Oh, and Trae loses power near the end of the episode, and stuff gets super weird.

152. Con Chaos and Collapse

Hey guys, we’re primarily a convention podcast, but everything is cancelled. I mean if it isn’t, it should be. The Nerd &amp; Tie team is trying to cope as best they can, and this fever dream of a podcast episode is what resulted. Trae is stress laughing, Nick is just stressed out, and Gen is almost out of toilet paper. This is where we are, this is how we’re dealing, and we hope you’re okay too. Oh, and while you’re at it, join our Discord.
