Hello and welcome to the penultimate episode of the Following the Nerd Podcast.

For those listening on podcast this show was recorded live on Thursday August 20th 2015.

On the show tonight we will be talking to actor Shaun Mazoka, star of the upcoming online show Cooked and self proclaimed Superman fan, so you know we’ll end up talking about Man of Steel.

In the big news of the week Matt Damon continues to impress in the trailer for Ridley Scott’s The Martian.

Star Wars is front and centre of the show too as D23 ended last week and we got our first look at the Rogue One cast and we saw that the awesome Drew Struzan has come out of retirement to do the poster… with the promise of more to come. Plus, we know who’s directing Episode IX.

In Ghostbusters news, we got our first look at Chris Hemsworth as Kevin - and he’s not what we expected at all... and Bill Murray is coming on board too?!

Plus, the thing that everyone is talking about right now is that the lovely Hayley Atwell - Agent Carter herself - wants to play the Doctor… and make us all sexist, apparently.

Ronda Rousey is getting everyone talking with her desire to play Captain Marvel… including Kevin Smith.
Oh and the BIG nerd news of the last couple of weeks has to be that Constantine has been saved. Well, sort of...

We'll also have Stuart from the Monday Movie Show on with the latest movie & video game news and the box office top ten countdown.

As always, I'm your host Marc and with me once more in the studio I have the man who wanted nothing more than to stream tonight’s show on his youtube channel but in the end decided to settle for a nice picture drawn with crayons and calling the laptop all sorts of unwholesome names. And suggested things that no laptop now or the future will ever be able to do.
His family know him as Stephen but to everyone else he's known simply as... Saxon
