The live show has been running for around four years, with the podcast being a thing for roughly three.

However, the radio station that hosted our show, Shine FM in Banbridge, N Ireland has sadly closed its doors for the last time.

Will we return? Well, yes, we're confident we will in the future, but for now... in some form or other.

In the final episode we reach back to the past and bring back some of the good people that made the show such a success over the years. As well as regular co-host Saxon, we bring back Mark McCann, Big Phil and Jay Faulkner. And we have the one and only Stuart in the house too.

We talk about the things that have happened in the years since the show began and bid an emotional farewell to our listeners.

The live show has been running for around four years, with the podcast being a thing for roughly three.

However, the radio station that hosted our show, Shine FM in Banbridge, N Ireland has sadly closed its doors for the last time.

Will we return? Well, yes, we're confident we will in the future, but for now... in some form or other.

In the final episode we reach back to the past and bring back some of the good people that made the show such a success over the years. As well as regular co-host Saxon, we bring back Mark McCann, Big Phil and Jay Faulkner. And we have the one and only Stuart in the house too.

We talk about the things that have happened in the years since the show began and bid an emotional farewell to our listeners.

Until we take the first step into our next venture, we want you all to know we love you all and come out of our Nerdy HQ every week for the love of the game but mostly for you guys.

So, one last time, in the words of the late, great Mr Dave Allen, until next time, may your god go with you, I have been Marc and this has been 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

On the show this week we’ll be looking back over three weeks of news - yes, we’ve be relaxing - and trying to get everyone up to with San Diego Comic Con.

There’s going to an abundance of Ghostbusters talks as, since the last time we aired, there’s been costumes, proton packs and vehicles revealed.

LEGO Dimensions set things alight with the new trailer that had Doctor Who and Batman together… a fanboy dream come through.

Plus, our good friends Erik Burnham and Dan Schoening will be teaming up with the legend that is Bob Gale for IDW’s new Back to the Future comic series. Seriously, this is heavy.

It seems that finally we at FTN have a Marvel movie character all the guys can agree is really attractive… Aunt May. Yes, you heard us right - more on that during the show.

Also, big Star Wars news this week as Lucasfilm announced everyone’s favourite scoundrel, Han Solo, will be getting his own standalone movie and we’re really excited about who is helping it.

And in a surprise move - not - Harry Shearer has returned to The Simpsons after getting everyone in a tizzy a few weeks back.

Also, we’ll have our man Andrew on with his big movie review - Marvel’s Ant-man - and we’ll be talking to Padraig from the Titanic Quarter in Belfast about their big ongoing event called, simply, Robots.

All this and much, much more on the show tonight…

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 recently started working for the company I work for in real life on the night shift and was lucky he didn’t get fired because there’s apparently a strict company rule against capes and fangs. Who knew?

On the show this week we’ll be looking back at the career of the great Christopher Lee who died on Thursday, aged 93.

We’ll also be talking about the casting of Shane from The Walking Dead’s new role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe... and it’s a punishing one (subtle, huh?).

Next up, we’ll be talking about the latest casting in the Ghostbusters reboot as Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth, takes over the role played by the great Annie Potts… yes, you read that right.

Plus, the first image of Mulder and Scully has gone online from the upcoming new X-Files TV series, and what had Christoph Waltz on his face in the leaked images from James Bond: SPECTRE?

And will we be getting another Quicksilver scene in X-Men: Apocalypse?

All this and much, much more on the show tonight…

We'll also have Stuart from the Monday Movie Show on with the latest movie and videogame news along with his 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, like all Irish men, almost caught fire earlier today when the sun put in an appearance in the sky and then, so unaware of what it was that he was looking at, spent the afternoon in the front garden shouting at the sky and telling the aliens to go home.

On the show this week we will be talking about all the week's biggest nerdy news

First up, is Paul Blart the chief security guard on the set of DC's Suicide Squad? Because the amount of awesome images coming out are stunning.

Also, sticking with comic book movies, it looks like Alan Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is getting another bite of the cinematic cherry... do we hear the words shared universe and franchise? Probably.

Tilda Swinton is causing a little controversy with her all but confirmed role in Marvel's Dr Strange movie.

Also, could Hulk Hogan be the world's evilest man in The Expendables 4?

We'll also be looking at the casting of the Harry Potter Fantastic Beasts spin-off movie, and will we see Wolverine in the Deadpool movie?

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

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.

First up, we'll be chatting to the man who played Walter Bishop in Fringe, Mr John Noble.

Next we'll be chatting to the very beautiful Katrina Law, Nyssa Al Ghul in TV's Arrow and finally, Big Phil will be chatting to Red Dwarf's one and only Cat, Mr Danny John Jules!

Then, in the news, the big story of the week has to be the reveal of the Suicide Squad including Harley Quinn... the female comic character that has put the internet into meltdown. We'll be giving our thoughts on the look of Mr J's girlfriend and the rest of the team...

Next up, it looks like the Arrow and Flash spin-off series HAS got a confirmed name and, as we said a few weeks ago, we love the kitschy comic book feel of it.

Plus, Joss Whedon has been getting some very serious abuse on Twitter over Avengers: Age of Ultron and, even though he denies it, it looks like it may have forced him off the social site.

JJ Abrams has made some fans' week by saying that he was tempted to have a certain character from the prequels turn up dead in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.... plus Star Wars comes to Disney Infinity and it looks wonderful.

Plus... a new Indiana Jones movie has been confirmed by Lucasfilm chief Kathleen Kennedy.

PLUS we'll be telling you how to win an awesome Jurassic World LEGO set!

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 so many lightsabers that the local children can't come into his house without signing a waiver agreeing to being called younglings. He once said that his favourite Star Wars character was Jar Jar Binks to Chuck Norris who told him that even HE wasn't brave enough to admit that...

On the show this week we’ll have all the biggest nerd news including our opinion on the latest incarnation of the Joker as Jared Leto’s Suicide Squad look is revealed… and it’s dividing the fans.

We’ll be looking forward to the new series of Doctor Who and it seems that one of the biggest questions in the Whoniverse may be answered this coming season.

Has Avengers: Age of Ultron director Joss Whedon had a fall out with Marvel? We ponder this as we look back over some of his comments on Ant-man, Daredevil, Agents of SHIELD and DC this week and wonder what’s going on with the Nerd god?

And, speaking of Age of Ultron, is there an extended cut coming… and does it tie into the aforementioned Whedon issue too?

Also, has Marvel and Sony decided on their Spider-man? And is Fox’s X-men franchise coming to an end? What could this mean for the future of Marvel movies?

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

On the show this week we’ll have lot of ground to cover as we were off last week, but I assure you, we got this.

First up, we’re going to be talking to actor Anthony Ingruber. Long time listeners to the show will remember Anthony and his fascination with Harrison Ford - totally understandable - and he’ll be telling us how his first major movie role is a dream come through.

We’ll be telling you how we know the Batman V Superman trailer will be out long before Mad Max Fury Road hits in May. And we’ll have some very cool news about BvS and a major character who‘ll possibly be a big part of Batman’s past.

First up, we’re going to be talking to actor Anthony Ingruber. Long time listeners to the show will remember Anthony and his fascination with Harrison Ford - totally understandable - and he’ll be telling us how his first major movie role is a dream come through.

We’ll be telling you how we know the Batman V Superman trailer will be out long before Mad Max Fury Road hits in May. And we’ll have some very cool news about BvS and a major character who‘ll possibly be a big part of Batman’s past.

On the show this week we'll be talking comic book reveals, including The Thing from the Fantastic four and the big one... Jesse Eisenberg as the man who would rule the world... Lex Luthor.

We'll also be talking about the latest news regarding the look of Harley Quinn and Deadshot in David Ayer's Suicide Squad movie – and we think this will be a real fan pleaser.

The Winter Soldier directors, the Russo brothers, are confirmed as taking over for Joss Whedon for Avengers: Infinity War, Jennifer Lawrence hands in the blue make-up after X-Men Apocalypse and is the Star Wars live-action tv show back on the schedule at Lucasfilm?

On top of all that, we'll also be talking about how Game of Thrones WILL ruin the ending of the books; Prometheus 2 and Alien 5 plot rumours and details and, "say, would you like a chocolate covered pretzel?"

On the show this week we'll be looking at the week’s biggest stories in the nerdsphere…

We’ll be looking back at the career of the great Leonard Nimoy who died last week, leaving behind a legacy that most can only dream about and a feeling of loss in the hearts of many.

One of the big stories this week came from the ceo at Warner Bros who said the DC movies are much edgier and more realistic than the Marvel movies.

We’ll also be looking at The Walking Dead and what exactly is going on with heart-throb character Daryl Dixon who we haven’t seen very much this last few weeks - and does the write up for the season finale hold a dark secret that will really get under the skin of the fans?

Plus, Sony promises that, from next year, we’ll never play video games the same way as, at long last, virtual reality looks like it’s going to be a thing.

The Winter Soldier directors Anthony and Joe Russo sign up for Sony and speculation is that this is tied into the new unity with Marvel… and we have some amazing - see what i did there? - Spider-man movie rumours.

And finally, Stephen Amell has shared comments on social media that strongly hint one of the Arrow characters are about to bow out.

Plus, I’ll be talking about why the new Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer is awesome, but has me a tad worried.

We'll also have Stuart from the Monday Movie Show podcast on with the latest movie 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, just this week, pulled the leg off a Robin… action figure; A man who, Even though he didnt exist for them, can quote almost every movie from the 1980s but, like most of us, he can’t really remember what happened yesterday and who, as a small boy pulled, out all his teeth and cashed them in so the tooth fairy would cough up the full set of Extreme Ghostbusters action figures.

This show, for all you podcast listeners was recorded live on Thursday. February 19th, 2015.

On the show this week we have a few very big stories….
We’ll be talking about the just-comfirmed Alien 5 from Neil Blomkamp, the director of District 9.

We’ll also be talking about the ghostbusters reboot and the fact that dan aykroyd still things a real GBIII might happen.

We’ll hear why Samuel L Jackson thinks Marvel has the upperhand in the movie universe over DC.

Could The Suicide Squad be too much for the Enchantress?

Plus, we’ll have details on the new season of Game of Thrones and why even the book fans should be worried for their favourite characters.

And we get clarification on last week’s big Arrow rumour that Diggle might be Green Lantern.

And, of course, we’ll have the Monday Movie Show’s Stuart on with the week’s biggest movies and reviews of what’s hot this weekend…

As always, I'm your host Marc and with me once more, I have the man recently voted the world’s oldest person on Santa’s official list. Oddly enough, last Christmas he was also the oldest person in the world to have not gotten toys from the big man because he still hasn’t been taken off the naughty list. And, quite coincidentally, he holds the record for that too at a total of 22 consecutive years; his family call him Stephen but we call him... Saxon.

We will also be going through two weeks' news as we were off last week due to the weather – or last thereof, so expect much in the way of marvel and dc news.

We have a release date, cast and plot for Ghostbusters (3) and, as I'm sure you can imagine, we're going to want to talk about that.

We'll be talking about Big Hero 6 and Kingsman: The Secret Service, mostly because we didn't get a chance last week.

Plus there's big news on the Star Wars front, expecially regarding the first spin-off movie from Godzilla director Gareth Edwards.

We'll also have news from the director of The Crow and a big story this week is the change in the origins of the Joker in the Batman comics. A change which I'm still genuinely not sure if I love or hate.

We also have a few bits and pieces from the MCU as rumours insist that Spider-man is coming home.

Yes, can you believe it? Ghostbusters is 30 this weekend (how old do we feel?) and to celebrate we’ve reached far and wide to bring together some of the biggest and best names in the Ghostbusters franchise for one show… sort of like a super nerdy Avengers…

First up, we’ll be talking to Michael C Gross, the man who designed the no-ghost logo, sculpted the hell hounds and was basically involved in the movie from day one.

Next up, we’ll be talking to the one and only Laura Summers, Laura was the voice of Janine Melnitz in the Real Ghostbusters animated series.

We’ll also have writer Erik Burnham and artist Dan Schoening both of whom are working on the superb New Ghostbusters comic from IDW and, frankly making us happy Ghostheads every four weeks.

We’ll also have Anthony and Claire Bueno, the filmmakers who are working on the definitive documentary look at Ghostbusters, Cleanin’ Up The Town.
