In this episode, the crew dives deep into how nerd culture has shifted from a niche subculture to the dominant global engine of entertainment. They explore whether "New Year’s Resolutions" actually work for gamers and collectors, and look ahead at the most anticipated tech and media of the coming year.

Join the Black Nerd Podcast for a festive, deep-dive journey through the evolution of nerd culture and the holiday treasures that shaped us. In this special Patreon-exclusive live stream, we’re hopping into the sleigh to explore three distinct eras of gifting:

• The Past: We’re getting nostalgic over the "Grail" gifts of our childhood. From the 16-bit consoles that changed our lives to the iconic action figures we spent all Christmas morning unboxing. What was that one gift that solidified your nerd card?

• The Present: What’s on the wishlist right now? We discuss the hottest tech, the must-have collectibles of the season, and the struggle of being an adult nerd trying to balance the budget between "responsibilities" and "pre-orders."

• The Future: We look into the crystal ball of geekdom. What will the holiday season look like in 10 or 20 years? From VR experiences to holographic collectibles, we’re predicting the next big wave of nerd obsession.

Grab your eggnog, put on your favorite festive gear, and join the conversation live!

Grab your ugly sweaters and power up your lightsabers—it’s the holiday special! In this festive episode of the Black Nerd Podcast, the crew tackles a debate hotter than a heat vision blast to a roasted chestnut: Is Christmas inherently nerdy? Why is Santa an Omega-Level Mutant? Is Christmas A Sci-Fi or Fantasy genre event? We also peel back the wrapping paper on the holiday season to analyze the "lore" of the North Pole, the tech specs of Santa’s sleigh, and why gift-giving is essentially just real-life loot dropping. From the Omega-level mutant abilities of Saint Nick to the undeniable cyberpunk vibes of modern holiday decorations, we’re finding the geek DNA in the most traditional time of the year.

Fame & JS-1 received a copy of the comic novel "Musa: Lion Of Mali". We sat down with the creators and authors TJ Sterling & Ade Heru to get into deep details of how book came about, characters and much much more!!

Join the team as they fire up their nostalgia machine and venture into the "Upside Down" of their own lives. They'll share hilarious, baffling, and maybe slightly embarrassing stories of real-life events that felt ripped straight out of an '80s sci-fi movie. From encountering genuine glitches in the matrix while deep into a DnD campaign, to unexplained phenomena that only manifest around a pristine comic book collection, and the genuinely strange way non-nerds react to their passion—it seems stranger things really do happen to nerds!

• This episode includes: Discussions on the new season (spoiler-free until the final act!), listener submitted "strange stories," and a debate on which piece of tech is the most likely portal to another dimension.

The Black Nerd Podcast crew is back for their annual pre-Thanksgiving tradition! This week, the hosts take a break from the usual deep dives into comics, gaming, and genre film to focus on the things that truly matter. Join them as they share personal stories and hilarious hot takes about everything they're grateful for—from representation in media (finally!) and the latest generation of gaming consoles that kept them sane, to the simple blessings like Auntie's mac and cheese and the power of a perfectly timed viral Black Twitter moment.

You ever watch a movie or play a video game and think, "Man, I'd love to visit there"? Well, this ain't that episode.This week the team break down the absolute worst, most treacherous, and downright disrespectful places in fiction you could possibly sign a lease. Forget the scenic vistas and magical wonders; we're talking about the places where your life expectancy is measured in days and the homeowner's association is run by a dark lord.

Lock your doors, check under the bed, and sharpen your arguments! In this special spooky season episode, the hosts of the Black Nerd Podcast dive deep into the darkness to settle a legendary debate: Who are the Top 10 Horror Villains of all time?Join the crew for a heated, hilarious, and insightful clash as they build their definitive list from the ground up. Is it about the highest body count, the most psychological terror, the iconic look, or the lasting cultural impact? From silent stalkers like Michael Myers to dream-weaving demons like Freddy Krueger, no monster is safe from scrutiny.Expect some controversial placements, some shocking omissions, and at least one passionate argument about the rules of a proper slasher. And you know they're bringing that unique Black Nerd perspective—where does the legendary Candyman rank? What about the terrifying, socially-charged villains from modern classics like Get Out or Us?Who will be crowned the undisputed king (or queen) of carnage? Which fan-favorite will be left screaming in the dark, just missing the cut?Tune in... if you dare. And get ready to flood the comments with your own Top 10 list!

It's officially spooky season, and with it comes the nerdiest question of the year: What are you going to be for Halloween? For Black nerds, this question isn't just about picking a character; it's a complex equation of fandom, finance, culture, and creativity.

This week, the crew dives headfirst into the Halloween costume rabbit hole. We're breaking down the entire process from the initial spark of an idea to the final 'fit check on October 31st. Do you go for a deep-cut anime character that only three other people at the party will recognize? Or do you embrace the mainstream with the latest MCU hero?

"They're making everyone Black!"

It's a comment you see everywhere, from angry YouTube comments to celebratory tweets. The "Black-ification" of nerd properties—reimagining traditionally white characters as Black—is one of the most hotly debated topics in modern fandom. But is it a lazy diversity quota or a powerful act of creative reinvention? In this episode, we're keeping it real and diving into the good, the bad, and the cringe.
