Join host Mandy Kaplan as she ventures into the battle-scared world of “Aliens” with superfan Darnell Smith, exploring the film’s enduring appeal and what makes it a sci-fi classic.
This week on Make Me a Nerd, Mandy tackles the timey-wimey world of Doctor Who with a very special episode featuring Vincent van Gogh and a creature she can only describe as a “grunt-faced chicken dragon.” Tune in to find out why this episode leads to the discovery that Vincent van Gogh was basically the Danny Bonaduce of his time.
Mandy Kaplan dives headlong into the fascinating world of The Lord of the Rings with her guest, friend, and Tolkien superfan, Richard Hellstern. She bravely boards the carriage with Gandalf and Frodo and manages to make a drinking game out of the trip.
This week Mandy welcomes her longtime friend (and comic book expert!) Jimmy Aquino to the show. Jimmy dives deep into his lifelong love of all things nerd, from childhood cartoons to his impressive Batman tattoo, and then gives Mandy some Superman she can sink her teeth into.
