CYaN Podcast Episode 22: Tolkien Danger Cult
We have a fun episode of the Call Yourself A Nerd Podcast for you today. Your hosts, Danny and Ricky, start off with an interesting side story that develops into a debate about what it means to be “cult.” Then we go on to a bit of the new trailers and news; not to mention we tell you what we think about what we thought about Dredd, Borderlands 2, and Revolution.
Revolution Season 1 Recap Episode 1: “Pilot”
When I heard there was a show Eric Kripke developed, Bad Robot and J.J. Abrams produced, and Jon Favreau would direct the pilot; I was immediately just excited because of the creative force behind it. The post-apocalyptic world where no electronics worked also had me hooked.
So when the show premiered last night, I caught it and thought I would share a recap of the show with what I thought. Hopefully I will enjoy this new series throughout the first season at least, because lord knows I need a good new series.
It should go without saying, but just in case here is a warning. Spoilers for the first episode of Revolution after the jump…
Breaking Bad Season 5 Episode 8 Recap: Gliding Over All
Walt is actually showing some remorse in this episode, not enough to actually do anything to make things right, but he does seems a bit affected by all the bad he has done, is doing, and will do. This mid-season finale is kind of a fast forward through the building of Walt’s empire. For a smart man I am not sure if he thought through this plan. This was a violence packed episode and it gives us all a lot to look forward to next year when this season continues. As a quick side note, the music is great in this episode. I have a couple songs mentioned after the jump. Read More…
Batman of Shanghai
You heard us talk about it this week on the podcast, now check out the video. I must reiterate how excited that something that looks like this can still be made and released on American television. Thank you, DC Nation and Cartoon Network.
Breaking Bad Season 5 Episode 7 Recap: Say My Name
Once upon a time, a deal was brokered in a desert…
Walt left us hanging last week with a proposal where everybody wins. This week we finally get to know what this master plans is. Walt wants Declan, another Meth peddler who dreams of empires, to run his distribution. Why should Declan agree? Glad you asked… Read More…
Breaking Bad Season 5 Episode 6 Recap: Buyout
Walt and company are busy cleaning up after last week’s shocking murder and we start with a silent montage of how they disposed of the body. I love how they handled the scene. You see them carefully taking apart the dirt bike so it would fit into an industrial barrel which they fill with acid. Once this is done Walt brings out another barrel and you just know what they plan to do with the boy’s body.

Breaking Bad Season 5 Episode 5 Recap: Dead Freight
Wow, I think this was the best episode of the season thus far. Towards the end I was just stuck on the edge of my seat and I was so close to screaming at Walt through my TV screen. Okay, if we are being honest I may have yelled a few times; this episode was that suspenseful and action packed!
We start off in the desert following a young kid on a dirt bike, innocently catching big freakin’ eight legged creature. Ugh! Gross!

Breaking Bad Season 5 Episode 4 Recap: Fifty One
This episode was centered on Walt and the balance in his life. He is having a bit of a crisis, but you could not tell by looking at his expressions. However, starting off an episode by acquiring two muscle cars is a good indication that all is not steady in his world.

Breaking Bad Season 5 Episode 3 Recap: Hazard Pay
This week we got back to the show’s roots and I must say I was quite pleased. Last week seemed like they were laying some much needed foundation for Mike’s character and now we are exploring the new team dynamic. So click for a complete episode 3 recap… Read More…
