Is Cosplay’s Popularity a Sign of America’s Economic Downfall?

Take a breath, no one is blaming cosplayers for the downfall of America’s future – far from it. James Pethokoukis

All Nerd & Tie Network Podcasts

We make a bunch of podcasts at Nerd & Tie, we know it’s hard to keep up with all of them. So, with that in mind, we’ve decided to make a feed of all of them (well minus two)!

It’s the end of another year for Casual Trek, so Charlie and Miles have picked out episodes to gift each other!

It’s been quite a year, all in all, so they’ve both been merciful and decided to go for some fun episodes. Charlie’s gift to Miles is Space:1999’s Nick Tate guest starring in a Miles O’Brien spy drama in “Honour Among Thieves,” Miles’s gift to Charlie is some amnesia-based hijinks around a castle in “Among the Lotus Eaters,” and for two episodes about betrayal with ‘Among’ in the title, neither host mentions Among Us!

Timecodes:
00:02:17 What Non-Star Trek Thing We’ve Been Enjoying: Absolute Superman, Spy X Family,
00:14:02 Star Trek: Deep Space Nine “Honour Among Thieves”
00:52:29 Star Trek: Strange New Worlds “Among the Lotus Eaters”

Talking points include: Castles, Miles is MARL now, Absolute Superman, Spy X Family, Titanic, Nick Tate, gangster movies, Goodfellas, disappointing D&D Beyond stats, Skip Intro’s series on Copaganda, Poker Face, John Hodgeman (who I did know about from his podcast), Brighton is genuinely nice despite how Miles and I describe it, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Con Air, Chester will appear again, Blake Snyder ruining the film industry, Charlie is a Time Team nerd, Morgan Wallens is awful, Charlie and Miles do a forced amnesia bit, the amnesia plot of 24, the finale of Chuck, Dr Who amnesia theories. Oh, and occasionally Star Trek.

Pedant’s Corner:
My Heart Will Go On is apparently a power ballad.
There’s an 11 year difference between Nick Tate and Colm Meaney.
