Show notes
This week we have a three-act superhero musical, shot on a borrowed studio lot during a labor strike, financed by one guy's personal credit card, in which approximately none of the songs are allowed to finish. Weird as it may be, it all clicks into place, and you understand why a generation of nerds has had this thing memorized for going on two decades.This week, returning guides Kyle Olson and Krissy Lenz walk our favorite mainstream mom through Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. We’ve got all the hits: Neil Patrick Harris fan mail that borders on a restraining order, the deeply important economics of the Henchmen's Guild, why Felicia Day was building the internet before the internet knew it needed building, and a shiny new Australia offered up purely for the sake of a rhyme. There's a horse who is also a chairman. There's a tragedy you will not see coming. There's a meaningful high note. Press play.GUEST SPOTLIGHTKyle Olson is an award-winning writer, producer, and podcast host, and a recurring nerd-whisperer here on Make Me a Nerd. He's the co-host of Craft and Chaos on TruStory FM, creator of the steampunk queer radio drama The Swashbuckling Ladies Debate Society, host of The Story Well, and logged 300-plus episodes of The Marvel Movie Minute.
