You wake up as... Joffrey Baratheon
Monday Feb 28, 2022
Monday Feb 28, 2022
Hello, and welcome to Episode 26 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 first episode in our new segment: "You wake up as" where we discuss what we would do if we wake up as fictional or historical characters at a certain point in their lives. Today, we wake up as the much maligned Joffrey Baratheon just after the atrocity of the Red Wedding. Our task: survive. Can we do it? Almost certainly not. Will we make stupid suggestions? Almost certainly.
In our next episode, in 2 weeks' time, we're talking Wheel of Time. Vib, as one might expect, has not read the books but has strong opinions on the TV show. Sean, as one might expect, has read the books and has arguably stronger opinions on the TV show. Can they find common ground? Find out then!

The Great Tinfoil Debate
Monday Feb 14, 2022
Monday Feb 14, 2022
Hello, and welcome to Episode 25 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 a very special episode where we revisit our past episodes and really figure out who has said the most stupid thing and what on earth we were thinking... We're taking a look back at some of our, and your, favourite moments, for which, if we're honest, we're really, really sorry.
In our next episode, in 2 weeks' time, we're debuting our first ever episode in our "You wake up as..." series as we figure out what we would do to survive as Joffrey Baratheon in the lead up to the Purple Wedding.

Who is Tom Bombadil?

Monday Jan 31, 2022
Hello, and welcome to Episode 24 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! And with a bang, if we do say so ourselves. Tom Bombadil. Merry fellow. Master. Strong singer, fast of feet. But, who is he? Or, rather, what is he? One of the Ainur? The personification of music? C. S. Lewis? Join us as we work out the answers.
In our next episode, in 2 weeks' time, we're looking through our back catalogue of tinfoil hat awards, asking which were the most unfairly given, and why. No way that goes wrong...

What are the worst vampires in the Dresden Files?
Monday Sep 20, 2021
Monday Sep 20, 2021
Hello, and welcome to Episode 23 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.
Today, we're back in deepest darkest Chicago, asking what are the worst vampires in Jim Butcher's Dresden Files? How bad would it be to meet a Black Court vampire down a dark alley? How in trouble are we that the White Court own politicians in Washington? And just rubbish at vampiring are the Red Court.
We're taking a short break to account for the fact that one of the co-hosts is both moving house and having a baby at basically the same time, but whenever we're able to, our next episode will answer all the questions about Tom Bombadil from the Lord of the Rings that you didn't know you needed the answers to.

Hot Take: The End Times was both good and necessary
Monday Sep 13, 2021
Monday Sep 13, 2021
Hello, and welcome to Episode 22 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.
Today, it's time for another hot take! Sean takes centre stage in a foolish attempt to convince us that the End Times that brought about the demise of Warhammer Fantasy Battles and kickstarted Age of Sigmar was falsely maligned and in fact served its purpose extremely well.
Next time, we return to a more familiar world, that of our favourite Chicagoan wizard Harry Dresden. We will ask the all important question: which kind vampire is the worst (best...)?

Ranking the best duels in Star Wars
Monday Sep 06, 2021
Monday Sep 06, 2021
Hello, and welcome to Episode 21 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.
Today, we're going back to Star Wars, site of many an argument between Sean and Vib, to discuss a hopefully less controversial topic, asking what are the best duels across the Star Wars canon. We travel through time and space, jumping from the big screen to television, in search of the greatest lightsaber combat the world has ever known.
Next time, we're back on Hot Takes, as Sean gives the definitive explanation on why Warhammer Fantasy's End Times was a good thing.

Hello, and welcome to Episode 20 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 time, we're addressing Sean's view that there's perhaps something too pedestrian about Creative Assembly's Total War that he worries would ruin the Lord of the Rings' high fantasy. This statement is so outrageous that Vib brought in reinforcements in the shape of none other than one of YouTube and Twitch's finest TW content creators: Lionheartx10!
Next time, we revisit the galaxy far, far away and reminisce about our favourite duels in the Star Wars universe. Needless to say, there's no way we will disagree on any of this...
In the meantime, be sure to check out Lionheart here:

What caused the Horus Heresy?
Monday Aug 23, 2021
Monday Aug 23, 2021
Hello, and welcome to Episode 19 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 time, we're leaping forwards in time 28,000 years, as we ask what caused the era defining Horus Heresy in Games Workshop's Warhammer 40k universe. Was it inevitable, or does it all boil down to "the Emperor was an idiot"?
Next time, we're excited to welcome our second ever guest to the show, when we look at Creative Assembly's Total War franchise and ask "where do they go from here"?

Does Serenity finish off Firefly?

Monday Aug 16, 2021
Hello, and welcome to Episode 18 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.
Today, we talk about our favourite space cowboys (or are they?) and ask if Serenity provides a good enough ending for the beloved (at least by us) show Firefly! Name a more outrageous cancellation, go on, we dare you!
Next time, we're back to the grimmest and darkest of worlds, providing the clear and concise commentary you've come to rely on, as we explain the causes of Warhammer 40,000's Horus Heresy.

The Lord Ruler: Misunderstood Hero or Maniacal Despot
Monday Aug 09, 2021
Monday Aug 09, 2021
Hello, and welcome to Episode 17 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.
Today, we ask whether the Lord Ruler from Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn Era 1 trilogy is the villain he's presented as, or a tragically misunderstood hero with the best of intentions. Believe it or not, we end up agreeing. We know, it's scary, and we promise it won't happen again.
Next time, we're covering yet another new topic for us! We're heading to the world of Firefly, the beloved space romp featuring some of TV's most excellent characters, as we ask if Serenity ties up all the loose ends left after the devastating cancellation of the TV series.
