In today's episode, Melissa lusts after Ryan Reynold's crispy banger in the Deadpool 2 teaser, we meet Mike's new puppy Leia, and Rodney....well, he shows up with a game we like to call "From the Halls of Obscurity"...Can Mike beat Bill's high score? (No.) We keep our politics in the Lone Star State this episode. We are currently watching two state bills in Texas, both out of the Senate. Senate Bill 6 is the so-called Bathroom Bill and Senate Bill 3 is the "School Choice" bill. Please call your Senators in Congress and tell them that these bills fly in the face of Texan values.

Nerds On The Left - Episode 9: Don't Tell Alan Moore
In this titillating episode of Nerds on the Left, we are joined by a guest Nerd, Kase Chaffin. Wasting no time, Kase picks a fight with Marvel Editorial over Venom #1 over an extra finger. Rodney speculates about the future of the Inhumans past ResurreXion. (Hint: It doesn’t look good.) Also, don’t tell Alan Moore that they may put Watchmen characters in the Injustice 2 video game. For everyone’s safety, keep it to yourself. Seriously. In politics this week, Jill Stein basically starts a Kickstarter to save our democracy from a Trump presidency. Will it make a difference? Probably not. Should we still do it? Hell yeah. New episodes every Tuesday. Leave a 5 Star review on iTunes and don’t forget to subscribe! We want an open discussion, so comment!
