Show Notes
Welcome back to another frantic episode! In Episode 109 of the Frantic Nerdcast, we are diving deep into the massive television finales, upcoming gaming news, and the latest drops in the Trading Card Game (TCG) world. First up, we are breaking down the action-packed release of Devil May Cry Season 2 from Adi Shankar. From the jaw-dropping Virgil vs. Dante fights to that incredible, heavy-hitting soundtrack featuring Papa Roach and Korn, we talk about why this show absolutely slaps (and our few gripes with the demon forms). Next, we shift gears to the chaotic and controversial series finale of The Boys Season 5. We look at how Homelander's ultimate showdown compared to the original comic book ending, Black Noir's fate, and what Butcher’s crowbar moment means for the franchise. Finally, we’re talking all things TCG and board games! We cover the launch of Pokémon: Chaos Rising and its wild pull rates, give our thoughts on the upcoming Cataclysm RK single-booster TCG, check out the free-to-play digital port of Altered TCG, and review a hidden $15 Kmart find: Catan on the Road.
