Frantic NerdcastShow Notes
Welcome to episode 121 of the Frantic Nerdcast! We're down a host (missing Zach), so AJ and Brock are taking a slightly more "casual" approach this week—even if AJ's intro voice threw everyone off! In this episode, we dive deep into a FULL SPOILER REVIEW of 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day'. We break down the arachnid hormone mechanics, the Jean Grey reveal, the Hulk/Frank Castle dynamics, and how this sets up Weapon X, mutant inhibitor collars, and Secret Wars! We also discuss: • AJ’s resin 3D printing disaster and recovery • Updates on our in-development skirmish game, Rift Chaos • Board Game of the Week: The rare Japanese-only 'Deck Build Gundam' • Movie & TV Chat: 'Big Bad' (Save the Green Planet remake), 'The Dink' (pickleball comedy), 'Lucky', and 'Ted Lasso' Season 4 • TCG Tuesday spotlight on WIXOSS • Big news: We got MEDIA PASSES for PAX Australia!
