First up we talk about Iron Man 3 – don’t worry, we keep it spoiler free – and just what we thought of it. From there we talk about the latest toys from Marvel Select and just why Character Options has lost the plot when it comes to Doctor Who toys. Next we rejoice in the fact that we were mentioned in an online article in the Wall Street Journal before talking about last week’s episode of Doctor Who called Hide… spooky. With the release of the third Man of Steel trailer we rejoice in the music of Hans Zimmer and talk about why we think it’s a good thing that John Williams is left behind for Zack Snyder’s new take on the Superman mythology. Loki’s ultimate fate is discussed as we speculate, given what we see in the Thor: The Dark World trailer and know of the comic history, ON what we think will ultimately be his fate in the Marvel movie-verse. Stuart is back from The Monday Movie Show with the UK Box Office Top Ten and we talk in length about Oblivion and Joseph Kosinski’s previous sci-fi epic TRON: Legacy and Marc ponders on why he thinks Kosinski should be a shoe-in for one of the upcoming Star Wars sequels. Is Ghostbusters III still coming? We ponder the chances of it happening and wonder who would be a great choice of cast if the movie was – shudder – remade. What do you think of our choices? Finally, two of the biggest questions in sci-fi get addressed… why are Australian Trekkies up-in-arms about JJ Abrams’ Star Trek Into Darkness and will we really find out the name of the Doctor in two weeks? Or is Steven Moffat up to his old tricks?

Press release: GANGSTER SQUAD: Covert Cops, the Mob, and the Battle for Los Angeles' written by Paul Lieberman (Pan Macmillan) is out now in non-fiction paperback. Based on his hugely popular Los Angeles Times column 'LA NOIR: TALES FROM THE GANGSTER SQUAD', this is the true story of a brutal secret police team operating in 1950s Los Angeles. It has inspired the major new Warner Brothers film of the same name, starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. The film is released on January 11th 2013. Based on hundreds of interviews with everyone from anonymous LAPD foot soldiers to the families and associates of those they pursued, Lieberman stitches together the story of Jack O'Mara, his dangerous colleague Jerry Wooters and their anything-goes war with arch-criminal Mickey Cohen and his budding rival Jack 'The Enforcer' Whalen.

AsK anyone what they remember about Ghostbusters and pretty close to the top of the list of answers you'll get will be Slimer, the green ghost introduced in the first movie by sliming Peter Venkman (Bill Murray) and who was an animatronic - and in one case a painted peanut - creation. Slimer soon became a big part of the team when, last seen escaping during the credits of the origianl movie, he was re-introduced in The Real Ghostbusters animated series as a companion, indeed in the episode Citizen Ghost, the writers explained how he came to live with the four Ghostbusters and saved them from evil ghost versions of themselves. Slimer soon became as important to the audience as the boys in grey themselves. So, by the time Ghsotbusters II went before the cameras Slimer was to be a bigger part of the team, to be seen interacting in the movie and, once again, helping to save the day. To do this they needed him to have character and to be played by an actress. That actress is the lovely Robin Shelby...

Our BIG guest this week is stunt man/co-ordinator Kevin Rushton who has worked on such small movies you may have heard of as X-Men and Hulk and he's talking about his life in the business, the good and the bad and what the future holds for stunt work. We get into all the latest Nerd news and spend a little extra time talking about Dredd 3D, Apple's new iOS6, the Robocop reboot - shudder - plus we highlight what's up for grabs at tonight's auction for NI Children's Hospital, proudly in association with ftn. As if that wasn't enough, we talk about superhero stories migrating from cinema to TV, we look forward to The Cabin in the Woods on blu-ray and getting a Joss Whedon commentary, criminally missing from The Avengers disc here in the UK. We also get Stuart and Andy on from The Monday Movie Show who do the UK Box Office Top Ten and, finally, Marc's re-discovery of comics continues as he slowly falls in love with Marvel after years of being a DC man...

Writer Owen Quinn calls in to pay homage to Doctor Who actress Liz Shaw and just how important she was to the direction Who eventually took. We get talking Blair Witch, Hulk, Jurassic Park 4 and Jeff Daniels! Batman talk pops up - as it often does these days - Stan Lee as Spider-man, the end of Life In Hell, the newspaper strip that got Matt Groening noticed as well as Futurama talk and fun clips. We also look at Django Unchained and how it may be the return to form of Quentin Tarantino and those Venom movie rumours just won't die. And this is just the tip of the iceberg... tune in and chill out with the FTN team.6386abraham lincoln,batman,boys from county hell,jurassic park,life in hell,movies,nathan fillion,taken 2http://www.spreaker.com/user/followingthenerd/the_following_the_nerd_podcast_ep25Ok, we're back and this week Marc's co-host is comic guru Jay Faulkner. And if that's not enough, we have another packed show. First up we have world-class impressionist and voice actor Anthony Ingruber (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bba_wPdLxp4) and we have our intrepid reporter Crowbar who's back from E3 and full of, em, news :) On the news front, we have more Batman news than you can shake a stick at as Batman finally faces off to Superman in Smallville, and we talk about The Dark Knight Returns - the other great Batman movie of 2012. And on that note, Batman in the DKR will be voiced by Peter Weller which leads us nicely into the Robocop reboot which keeps popping up. This week we learn that they are on the verge of casting the main villain... and it's an inspired choice. We also talk Star Trek, uniforms, Klingons, TNG, Imax and 3D before a routine touch of Twilight bashing. Mind you, it's all in good humour. And on the wrap up we talk about our meeting with Mummy star Brendan Fraser last week, why Marc's not watching Awake, even though he's confident it's brilliant and yes, there's even some Ghostbusters III news with grumpy Bill talking about the third movie. Phew, I'm wrecked just writing it all down! Now tune in and enjoy.

First up we’re going to be speaking to Music Video Director Daniel Azarian and band Whisperado’s lead singer Jon Sobel about their new song and video that is making waves all over the entertainment world, Teenage Popstar. The Video by Underdog Entertainment has just been picked up by AOL and is featured on AOL Music and is a great take on modern pop culture with a Stepford Wives overtone, so they are really enjoying the moment, the highlight is obviously being on the FTN Podcast! Then after that we talk to Bobby Reed. Bobby is currently starring in web-series Fletcher Drive and has just finished filming the movie Angry Video Game Nerd. So, no doubt we’ll be getting into those during the interview as well as speaking about his career in theatre and appearing in shows like Law & Order, Sons of Anarchy and Parenthood.

On this week's show we have a guest-a-rama. First up, we speak with Oliver Harper who is finding success online as a retro movie reviewer who dedicates his time to reviewing and giving precious information to movies that are unlikely classics and that have been neglected by the studioes - he also just happens to be our Tuesday night entertainment at followingthenerd.com. Next up, Crowbar chips in and talks all the latest video game news, including plans to put 'health warning' labels on games, much the same as they do with cigarettes and towards the end of the show we chat to Martin Campbell, organiser of the 2D Comics Festival in Derry/Londonderry, N Ireland, about his influences and just what we can expect from the festival this June. That all not enough? Well, we also talk about all the latest news from planet Nerd and get rather opinionated about, well, everything.
