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

On the show this week we will be talking about all the latest nerdy news as well as chatting to the director of short movie Welcome To Forever, Laddie Ervin. The movie will be competing at Sci-Fi London this year and we’ve got the honour of debuting the trailer which has just gone live here.

In the news sections we’ll be looking at the Legends of Tomorrow trailer which debuted late last week and totally blew our minds… could DC’s answer to Avengers actually be a TV show?

One of the big rumours of the week is that Matthew McConaughey is close to signing on at Marvel to play a popular Spider-man villain.

We’ll also be talking about how The Simpsons will survive without Mr Burns, Smithers, Flanders, Otto, Rev Lovejoy and Principal Skinner among others as actor Harry Shearer says goodbye to TV’s longest running animated show.

Plus, we’ll be talking about Disney’s apparent plans for Marvel and Star Wars TV channels and we’re sort of excited to hear that Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is coming back for Fast & Furious 8… and maybe a Hobbs spin-off movie.

We'll also have Stuart from the Monday Movie Show on with the latest movie news, videogame news and boxoffice top ten countdown.

As always, I'm your host Marc and with me once more in the studio I have the man who has more superhero teeshirts than HMV. He spend all of last week tied to a bed in a catholic church... after the voice demo tape he sent for the new job on the Simpsons was leaked online and they thought the Devil had moved to Lisburn.

His family know him as Stephen but to everyone else he's known simply as... Saxon
