The Nerds Awaken
Come on now, we all NERD hard over something pop culture. Perhaps it's that show that will never disappear from your "Keep Watching" queue, or that book you stan so much, you can recall the exact page of any given moment. Maybe you nerd out for that actor you have more pictures of in your phone than you have of your actual loved ones. The Nerds Awaken celebrates all things pop culture - from fledging interests to hardcore obsessions - with unabashed joy, laughter, and a passion that our family members would call, "grounds for an intervention."

The Acolyte: Series Premiere
We had so much breaking down the first two episodes of the new Star Wars series The Acolyte, which premiered June 4th on Disney+.
While we were cautiously optimistic about the idea of show after it was announced in 2020, we did not anticipate how much we would love the first two episodes. From the mystery-thriller plot to the vibrant new characters (hellooooo Master Sol), we were immediately sucked in to this fresh story set in the High Republic era. We chatted theories, our new favorite ships (we can't help ourselves, romance is life), and how much we appreciated the complete absence of anyone with the last name of Skywalker.
This is a spoiler-filled episode so make sure to watch the first two episodes before tuning in!
