Finishing up taking notes & pulling clips to record next week's Clone Watch episode of the Casual Nerdity podcast. Amazing how sometimes the writing of what's ostensibly a kids' show from the 2010s can have elements that are still timely today.

Clone Watch opens a little heavy this time, as Daryl, Nick, & Lauren discuss some real world events and how they might impact the podcast before moving on to the next Clone Wars episodes in the watch list: Shadow Warrior, Mercy Mission, and Nomad Droids.

Our longest episode to date! Daryl and semi-regular contributor Betsy are joined by our friend Brev to talk comics. Marvel's X-Men books relaunched about a year ago with an old-new direction, and we talk about our impressions - good and bad - for all of them.

Going live a little late due to technical difficulties.

It's a short episode because of life and how the Clone Wars storylines were distributed among seasons. Daryl, Nick, and Lauren quickly discuss the final two episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars season 3.

It's the summer of super-heroes! And a great one, at that. Daryl, Nick, Lauren, & Betsy talk about Fantastic Four: First Steps. From design, to character, to comics influences, to...more car seat talk than you'd expect from discussion of a super-hero movie.

Things are less weird (well...for Star Wars) this time, as Daryl, Nick, and Lauren take a look at the Citadel arc. Things are a little more back to normal for our heroes as they have to mount a rescue from a Jedi-proof prison.

We've got a long one this time, as Daryl, Nick, Lauren, and Betsy tackle the Mortis arc. There's a lot to unpack, and we dive right into that task.
