Nerd of Mouth

The Last Podcast Network

The Nerds got their Revenge, now what? That’s what comedians Holden McNeely, Mike Lawrence, and Jake Young are trying to figure out in the weekly combination tribunal/confessional “Nerd of Mouth.” Recorded from the dankest basement in the “Last Podcast on the Left” studios, we’re getting to the bottom of whether there’s more to life than any% WR videogame speedruns, limited edition action figures, and anime shows about ludicrously strong children beating each other up.

Why Funny People Make Scary Movies Now

Nerd of Mouth ·

2026/10/05

The big communal belly laughs we used to hear in theaters have now been traded for blood curdling screams as folks with comedy backgrounds like Curry Barker, Jordan Peele, and Zach Cregger bring the tension and release formula they perfected so well into a new genre with massive critical and financial results. Why is this happening and more importantly why is it such a natural transition and hey, is there any way at all that comedy movies themselves can make a comeback or are we just trading

The Rough But Rewarding Journey of John Stewart,...

Nerd of Mouth ·

2026/09/28

John Stewart was created with the best of intentions by two white guys named Neal and Denn to add some actual color to the very white DC Comics of 971 and he came out swinging, with the character not shying away from his blackness. Then he sat on a shelf for a good while before he was used at all as the substitute in a Green Lantern book where the lead never actually left. Writers would put him through hell on a whim and when he finally did get a bit of salvation it was from a creator that

Is There A Good Wolverine Game?

Nerd of Mouth ·

2026/09/21

Jake takes the boys through a brutal tour of Wolverine's solo video game past and play through some real Weapon Excrement as they discuss games so bad you'd need a healing factor to survive them. Is it really that hard to create a good game for our lovable and murderous canucklehead? Have they ever gotten it right? And did Sony even get it right this time with their new triple A game or will Wolverine succumb to his greatest threat yet: Video game journalists. The bulk of this episode was recorded

Somehow, The Star Wars Sequel Trilogy Returned

Nerd of Mouth ·

2026/09/14

It's been more than a decade since Disney took over the world's favorite space opera. Having already cast our gaze at the PREQUEL trilogies Holden and Jake have decided to force themselves to watch the highs, lows, and frustratingly debatable middles of a movie series that made people yearn for the days of pod racing. Were longtime fans betrayed? Do we owe George Lucas an apology? Can anybody agree about anything involving "The Last Jedi"? Find out, dear listener, and get weirdly emotionally

Pop Culture Right Before 9/11

Nerd of Mouth ·

2026/09/07

The tragedy that was 9/11 changed everything so much that it’s hard to remember what things were like right before. Thankfully Jake is here to remind us of the movies, music, tv, and games that were huge the week before and how it seems like we could never go back to that specific time when Crazytown and American Pie 2 were all the rage. We’ll never forget 9/11 but we’ve certainly forgotten some of the things that immediately became anachronistic and just how things changed right after.Want even

The Self Slaying of Joss Whedon with Jackie Zebrowski

Nerd of Mouth ·

2026/08/31

Joss Whedon was a nerd God with quirky quips, inspiring world building, and positive portrayals of female characters. But unfortunately that’s just half the story: An icon on the streets, a Dr. Horrible in the sheets. Recurring issues of abuse and control on set and off popped up and it all culminated with a downfall that in hindsight feels expected and karmic. Buffy fan and Page 7 cohost Jackie Zebrowski joins us to go through all of it and analyze a creator who will be outlived by both his

Saturday Morning Cartoon Tier List

Nerd of Mouth ·

2026/08/24

Summer is almost over which used to be mean 2 things: The start of school and a new season of Saturday morning cartoons. But hey, they were not all created equally. Some certainly had higher budgets than others, some stood the test of time and others starred Louie Anderson as a kid version of himself and his abusive dad. We rank a bunch of classic Saturday morning cartoons and learn a lot about each other in the process. You'll have to listen to see who liked the Beetlejuice cartoon, who defends

Mike is the M of the episode, explaining the origins of Bond, highlighting some of his best cinematic adventures throughout the decades and talks about the small family with the funny name that shepherded the whole franchise.

Crack open a bottle (over a dumb thugs head) and get yourself a whole steaming chicken from a barrel cause we're talking Beat 'em Up video games. There's just something special about stopping crime by walking around streets, beaches, and elevators punching and kicking the same few foes over and over again before running up against a much bigger foe that tries your patience and steals your quarters.

An Ode to Physical Media

Nerd of Mouth ·

2026/08/03

Jake leads us through a tribute to physical media! Memories of VHS horror box art! The heyday and resurgence of vinyl! The reliance (and obligation) of giving books as gifts! We cover it all and also share some stories from our listeners about the tangible, physical stuff that made them who they are. If you're old you can remember how it was with us and if you're young you can hear about the pure joy of going over to a friend's house and seeing that they also had a DVD copy of Stargate!Want even

Do Physical Games Still Matter?

Nerd of Mouth ·

2026/07/27

In the wake of Sony saying physical games are DOA our hosts wonder if this is really that bad of a thing.Is this just the future of gaming and are we actually losing anything? Are you just the old man yelling at clouds (that are full of your game's download info) when you mourn that little box with an actual game inside of it? And what about Gamestop? Won't someone think of poor old Gamestop?! I can't trade in gigabytes, goddamnit!Want even more Nerd of Mouth? Support us on Patreon

Nerd of Mouth ·

2026/07/20

He's the best there is at what he does and what he does is stoically scold people while blasting people with his concussive eye beams! Cyclops is often portrayed in cartoons and movies as a big ol' dork and fuddy duddy rules follower but the guy has been through a lot in the comics and has a lot of emotional depth. Mike takes Jake and Holden through the history and this X-man's evolution as creators take him from a mopey loner to a strategic genius to an all powerful mutant zealot that even scares

The Never Ending Fight We Wish Would End: Female...

Nerd of Mouth ·

2026/07/06

Independence Day just happened and what better way than to focus on those people who use their freedom to complain about lady characters in video games. The newest target is God of War Laufey and as Holden goes through the history of this topic we see this isn't the first time an announced game has been attacked for having a female protagonist and with a cottage industry that profits off the outrage it most likely won't be the last. Gamergate, Sweet Baby Inc.. and Samus bravely taking that helmet

Yeah, it's the wrestling episode of the year. The first one. And sure you may go into the comments and complain that there's a ton of wrestling episodes of this show from this year but the fact of the matter is your wrong and we're right to shine a spotlight on the voice of the voiceless, the man who turns a microphone into a pipe bomb and for a short period of time reignited the love of professional wrestling in many a lapsed fan. Every fan of every fandom chases those moments when the thing we

It's very appropriate that one of our cohosts has a show called Cartoon Dumpster cause boy did we pull some rotten stuff out of it this week. And Gargoyles. Gargoyles is cool. Maybe cause they're not animals. Cats, dogs, cows, dinosaurs, mice, ducks, dinosaurs again, sharks.. They gave every animal muscles and a 'tude but it wasn't enough.

Blue Dot Fever and the Fight Against Ticketmaster

2026/06/15

It's not in your head and yes inflation is real but ticket prices have indeed kept climbing for years. One company has a monopoly on the industry and doesn't even have the decency to wear a top hat and own hotels on Baltic Avenue. Holden charts the founding of Ticketmaster, how it won the war and now controls everything. But hey, we're not just about doom and gloom here so we're highlighting all the good folks that have fought for their fans and the fans themselves who are saying "We're Not Gonna

Remembering When He-Man Had the Power

Nerd of Mouth ·

2026/06/08

For about the majority of Reagan’s presidency He-Man was the master of the toy aisle. Concocted by Mattel, aided by the synergy of a cartoon, and ultimately undone by corporate greed and an underperforming movie (that one of our cohost loves) , take a journey with us to Eternia to see a musclebound hero who’s been killed and resurrected many times because you can’t keep a once successful IP down.Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

Remember when you’d get a newspaper to feel smart and informed and just go straight to the funny pages to gab with Garfield, chat with Cathy, and umm, see whatever the heck Family Circus was up to? We remember! Reading these informed our future tastes and helped evolve our sense of humor before life got too grim (and stopped being so Mother Goose).

Below the Radar Sense: A Celebration of Daredevil

2026/05/25

Even a blind man can see that Daredevil has been one of the most consistently compelling heroes in the Marvel Universe despite going through more changes than the real life Hell’s Kitchen. But it took some time to get there. Mike takes the boys through his beginnings, the bad times, the weird bad times and the really good times when the fat guy Spider-man fought became the even fatter guy that hates Matt Murdock now.
