Daryl, Nick, & Lauren are back to Clone Wars, as they watch Obi-Wan go undercover as his own assassin and stand idly by while he watches cold-blooded murders committed in front of him.

Something a little different this time. With some video game episodes in the near future, Daryl, Nick, & Lauren discuss their earliest days with video games and the kind of games they enjoy.

As Clone Wars becomes darker & heavier, Daryl, Nick, & Lauren dive into one of the darkest elements of the Galaxy Far Far Away, exploring the galaxy's slave trade, before moving on to a story of vengeance and naivete.

Daryl, Nick, & Lauren welcome Betsy back as they dive into Clone Wars' heart of darkness with the Umbara arc. And...we put the puzzle pieces together to figure out why some arcs work better for Lauren than others.

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.

Clone Watch is back as Daryl, Lauren, & Nick dive into season 4 of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and the Mon Calamari arc.

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.

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.

Look up! That's where the real punk rock is. Daryl & Nick are joined by Betsy & Stephanie to talk 2025's Superman, directed by James Gunn - the first big screen entry in the new DCU franchise.

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.

The comics industry lost a legend recently, with the passing of self-described Writer of Stuff, Peter David after a long series of medical troubles. Daryl and Nick, along with our friend Brev from The Movie Defenders podcast, discuss David's work, the legacy that he left behind

Betsy's back, because she definitely has thoughts to share with Daryl, Nick, & Lauren about the first Dathomir arc of Clone Wars. Dooku throwing away Ventress, the introduction of Savage Opress (or is that Maul X-TREME!!), and the perpetuation of cycles of abuse. It's like poetry...they rhyme.

This episode, we take a break from our Clone Watch series to give Daryl & Nick a chance to discuss the latest Marvel movie, Thunderbolts*. What's that asterisk mean? Who are these characters, anyway? And who would have expected an emotional exploration of mental health out of an MCU action movie?

Our latest episode is available!
Join us as we discuss Dooku Captured, The Gungan General, Jedi Crash, Defenders of Peace, and Trespass.
