Posted on April 26, 2022

nerds love lord of the rings

We’re doing it a bit differently this time on The Flickcast. Chris and Joe are off this week but we didn’t want to leave you with nothing. Instead, we’re dropping some bonus material usually reserved just for Patrons. We’re calling it Episode 482: Nerds Love Lord of the Rings.

Some of the stuff nerds love on this episode include the upcoming Lord of the Rings prequel series, the series Strike Back, where does James Bond go from here, collecting digital movies and potential parenting pitfalls. Plus, even a bit more. It’s a shorter episode so don’t expect everything. Still, it’s pretty fun.

No picks this week. Apologies. Instead, head over to your local comic book shop and buy something. They’ll appreciate the business and hey, you might even make some new friends. That’s not bad, right? Don’t know where you local comic shop is? Here’s a handy guide to find it.
