Episode Summary
This week on Distance NERDing, the crew gathers for another chaotic nerd-session covering everything from legendary detectives to classic 80s action heroes making a comeback.
We debate a question that might break the internet: Is Benoit Blanc actually a better detective than Batman? Meanwhile Netflix may be resurrecting the Universal Monsters, Arnold Schwarzenegger is teasing a return to iconic roles like Predator’s Dutch and Conan, and Pixar might be opening the sequel vault again with Incredibles 3 and Monsters Inc. 3 discussions.
Along the way there are terrible Arnold impressions, heated Pixar debates, and the kind of nerdy chaos only Distance NERDing can deliver.
Also yes… somehow Treezus gets involved. 🌳🙏
