At the risk of sounding like a millennial hipster, I’ve been listening to Kate Nash for about 10 years. Someone in my college introduced me to her album Made of Bricks and I’ve been listening to her ever since. Her new EP Agenda is out, and she’s going on a […]
A Puffs Piece: Witches and Wizards take over New World Stages in this Fantastic Comedy
Game of Thrones just started, Wonder Woman is out, and The Doctor is officially a woman. How much more fandom news can a Nerdophile take? Well, in New York City, there’s a piece of theatre that’s made it’s name as a hilarious romp through a magical world. Puffs Or: Seven […]
The Pod Nod: Hard N.O.C. Life is here for all your Nerdy Needs
Keith Chow has been known in the blogosphere for quite some time. He is the founder/editor-in-chief of The Nerds of Color. And he single-handedly popularized the idea of an #AAIronFist which caused quite a stir during the casting of what is arguably the worst of all the Netflix/Marvel series. Hard N.O.C. […]
Jodie Whittaker is the 13th Doctor and Christmas Couldn’t Come Sooner!
I knew it! I have been saying it this whole season! We got a lady Doctor and I couldn’t be more excited about this choice. Since I just binged an entire season 3 of Broadchurch recently, I am up-to-date on the current doings of Jodie Whitaker. Here’s the top 3 […]
Suck It, Joseph Campbell! An Exploration of The Hero’s Journey in Wonder Woman
Joseph Campbell’s Man with a Thousand Faces synthesized centuries of myth, oral legends, stories, and narratives into one epic arc: the Hero’s Journey. We see it take place in Star Wars, The Lord Of the Rings, and Harry Potter. Joseph Campbell also said the Hero’s Journey is a Monomyth, and […]
Doctor Who: The Doctor Falls Recap
Synopsis of 10×12: In a season finale that brought me to tears, Peter Capaldi gets the perfect send-off for the Twelfth Doctor. Cybermen attack, the Master flirts with Missy, and the cliffhanger will keep you up until Christmas. I think I’ve been clear that I have little faith in Moffat […]

Doctor Who: The World Enough and Time Recap
Synopsis of 10×11: We’re almost to the end, and Moffat is pulling out all the stops. Missy makes a new (old?) friend, Bill gets an upgrade, and some truly Classic villains make an appearance. So. Many. Questions! Ok, this two-parter (possibly 3-parter if you include Christmas) is almost too much […]
Doctor Who: The Eaters of Light Recap
Synopsis of 10×10: The Doctor, Bill, and Nardole take a trip to ancient Scotland. There are Romans, Scots, and monsters. And of course, there are battle eyebrows. First, the episode is bookended with a little girl listening to ghostly music at the edge of a henge. It’s an adorable device […]
Doctor Who: Empress of Mars Recap
Synopsis of 10×9: In a script by Mark Gatiss, the Tardis Three wind up on Mars facing off with Victorian Soldiers and ancient Ice Warriors. I have to be open about something: I don’t love Gatiss Doctor Who scripts. I don’t like ‘Victory of the Daleks,’ ‘Night Terrors,’ ‘Cold War,’ […]
