Fixing the Stupid - Season 8 of Game of Thrones

Hello, and welcome to episode 89 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking.

 

We're back with another rendition of "fixing the stupid" where we revisit things that are objectively bad and, well, fix them. This week, we take aim at one of the most impressive fumbles in entertainment history: season 8 (and a bit of 7) of Game of Thrones, the HBO phenom that enthralled everyone for 5 seasons. Until they messed it up. Luckily, we're here.

Let us know if you agree, and if you don't, come tell us how you'd fix it!

 

See you next time for some more absolute nonsense!

Top 10 Superheroes

Hello, and welcome to episode 88 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking.

Lists, glorious lists! This time, we are ranking superheroes, mostly based on vibes. Who is the strongest, who has the best personality, who just really spoke to us? There will be some controversial opinions in here and no doubt Sean and Vib will be yelling at each other, so come give it a listen!

Dresden Files - What even happened at Arctis Tor

Hello, and welcome to episode 87 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking.

 

We're back to talking about our favourite wizard Harry (that's right, we said it) and are finally tackling the question - what on earth (or what in the never never) happened at Arctis Tor? Who was blasting Hellfire everywhere? How come there was nothing but bones? Did Mab plan it all?

Do we come up with convincing answers? You tell us!

You wake up as... Leman Russ

Hello, and welcome to episode 85 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking.

 

This is the third iteration of our "You wake up as" series where we discuss what we would do if we wake up as fictional or historical characters at a certain point in their lives. We once again find ourselves in the 41st millennium as we awaken as the Wolf King, Primarch of the Space Wolves. The Imperium is a wreck and most of our brothers are gone. Our mission: figure out what in the Emperor's name is happening and sort out all the mess.

MCU Musings - Avengers: Doomsday

Hello, and welcome to episode 84 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking.

 

We turn our attention back to the film behemoth that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe as we think ahead to the next Avengers film in the lineup - Doomsday. What do we make of the enormous cast? Is RDJ coming back a good thing? Is it a plot point? Come along as we figure out what we might want from this film and Marvel in general.

Who is the Hero of Buffy the Vampire Slayer?

Hello, and welcome to episode 83 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking.

 

There is chatter of an upcoming Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot, so we thought we'd revisit Sunnydale and definitively put beyond any doubt that Xander is the hero. Wait... That doesn't sound right, does it? Listen along as we try to figure out who the "main character" is in the beloved classic 90s (yes, that long ago) supernatural TV show.

Lara Raith, Twelve Months and the Noir Gaze: Sexuality in the Dresden Files

Hello, and welcome to episode 82 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking.

 

Jim Butcher has finished writing the next entry to the Dresden Files "12 Months". While we wait for his editors to do their thing, we thought we'd weigh in on what we're expecting from Harry's next foray into Chicago's supernatural scene. As we expertly critique Butcher's writing style, the question on everyone's mind is "will Harry and Lara work?" The answer should be fairly obvious...

Henry Cavill's Warhammer 40K TV Series

 

Hello, and welcome to episode 81 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking.

We're on a "what TV do we want" roll at the moment - this week, Sean and Vib turn their easily distracted attention to the (allegedly) forthcoming Warhammer 40K TV series headed up by Henry "No he is a nerd, honest" Cavill. Where on earth do you start with a project that big? How do you keep it on track? How do you make sure you make the right people really mad? No idea, but it's fun to guess!

Casting HBO's Harry Potter Series

Hello, and welcome to episode 80 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking.

As excitement builds for the long awaited (and still far off) HBO Harry Potter series, we're back in the casting chair, and things are getting very, very silly. Can Vib get away with just casting Lee Pace everywhere again? Does Sean just hate good actors? And why is the internet convinced Mark Rylance should be Dumbledore when Jude Law is right there?
