Most stupid mistake in A Song of Ice and Fire
Monday Oct 16, 2023
Monday Oct 16, 2023
Hello, and welcome to episode 61 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 not quite fixing the stupid today, but we are pointing it out. We discuss who made the most stupid decision(s) in George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire. Turns out there might be nothing but silly decision making in this series...
Who do you think showed the least wisdom in Westeros (or Essos)?
As always, we'll be back in two weeks' time. In the meantime, enjoy!

Hello, and welcome to episode 60 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 on our favourite (?) topic, with a completely open ended and unstructured chat about local PI turned saviour of Chicago, Harry Dresden. Just how big can the stakes get when we've already had the near total destruction of a major US city? How can there still be so many books to write? And why oh why is Harry so bad at USING HIS WORDS??!?! Join us as we ponder all this and more.
As always, we'll be back in two weeks' time. In the meantime, enjoy!

The success of Baldur’s Gate 3

Monday Sep 18, 2023
Hello, and welcome to episode 59 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.
After our episode of superhero fatigue, we turn to a source of genuine excitement in the form of Baldur's Gate 3, the D&D 5th edition based game that's sweeping the nation. Why is it so good? Is this what the industry standard should be? Are we biased because we like the source material? Listen and find out.
Also, a disclaimer (again). Sorry for Vib's tinny audio. We're not sure what happened there, but it should be fixed next time, for real this time (if it's any kind of excuse, he was on pretty serious pain medication). Feel free to yell at him about it (again).
As always, we'll be back in two weeks' time. In the meantime, enjoy!

Are we done with superhero films?

Hello, and welcome to episode 58 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 episode, we're tired. We're so, so tired. But we're not sure what it is that's making us tired. Is it the MCU? Is it cinema in general? Is it just superhero films? We're honestly still not sure.
Also, a disclaimer. Sorry for Vib's tinny audio. We're not sure what happened there, but it should be fixed next time. Feel free to yell at him about it.
As always, we'll be back in two weeks' time. In the meantime, enjoy!

Hello, and welcome to episode 57 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.
In our latest escapade, Sean and Vib wax lyrical on one of their favourite topics, Peter Jackson (et al.)'s Lord of the Rings cinematic trifecta. We talk about the changes made by the creators, and ask what ones work and (sacrilegiously) which ones maybe don't. We have so much to say, and you clearly love it, so here is Part 2 of 2 (sorry...).
As always, we'll be back in two weeks' time. In the meantime, enjoy!

Hello, and welcome to episode 55 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 once again making demands... sort of. We discuss what we'd like to see from the newly(-ish) announced Harry Potter TV series on HBO. Do we want teen drama, but magical? Do we want 90s sitcom? We'll give you all our excellent ideas and opinions. Let us know if you agree.
As always, we'll be back in two weeks' time. In the meantime, enjoy!

We're back making lists again. This time, excited for the launch of Games Workshop's Old World at some point in the next decade, we dive deep into the weeds of the World-That-Was, and give our top 10 characters from the Warhammer Fantasy universe. What could possibly go wrong?

How A Song of Ice and Fire will end

Hello, and welcome to episode 53 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.
Given the ever decreasing likelihood of us getting a satisfactory ending, we have taken it upon ourselves to provide closure by writing the ending of George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire! We wrap up all loose ends and craft a glorious ending befitting this epic, or so we would like to think... Let us know if you agree!
As always, we'll be back in two weeks' time. In the meantime, enjoy!

Hello, and welcome to episode 52 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.
It's finally here. The long awaited trial of the century, as Expertise is Overrated puts Gentleman Johnny Marcone on trial. For what crime? Unclear. By what authority? Also unclear. Honestly, it's a bit of a mess. But, importantly, there's yelling, arguing and name calling aplenty.
As always, we'll be back in two weeks' time. In the meantime, enjoy!
