2022/06/06

Hello, and welcome to Episode 33 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking. In this episode, we take a look at Amazon's upcoming Rings of Power adaptation of, we think, the appendices to the Lord of the Rings, and ask what it is that makes some adaptations (Jackson's Lord of the Rings Trilogy) a roaring success, while others (Jackson's Hobbit Trilogy) fail with barely a whimper. Next time, we're

Hello, and welcome to Episode 32 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking.

So instead, both of us will be trying to explain why, even though there are many criticisms that can be levelled at the Star Wars films, we

Hello, and welcome to Episode 31 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking. Today, our intrepid superheroes take on a gargantuan task - assigning all (well... nearly all) Marvel films to tiers. Of course, we've designed appropriate tiers for the task: top tier, pleasantly surprised, classic superhero average, immensely boring, actually bad, could have been made by DC. Let us know if you agree! In

And with a bang, if we do say so ourselves. Tom Bombadil. Merry fellow. Master. Strong singer, fast of feet. But, who is he? Or, rather, what is he? One of the Ainur? The personification of music? C.

Today, we're back in deepest darkest Chicago, asking what are the worst vampires in Jim Butcher's Dresden Files? How bad would it be to meet a Black Court vampire down a dark alley?

Hello, and welcome to Episode 22 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking. Today, it's time for another hot take! Sean takes centre stage in a foolish attempt to convince us that the End Times that brought about the demise of Warhammer Fantasy Battles and kickstarted Age of Sigmar was falsely maligned and in fact served its purpose extremely well. Next time, we return to a more familiar world,

Hello, and welcome to Episode 20 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking. This time, we're addressing Sean's view that there's perhaps something too pedestrian about Creative Assembly's Total War that he worries would ruin the Lord of the Rings' high fantasy. This statement is so outrageous that Vib brought in reinforcements in the shape of none other than one of YouTube and Twitch's finest TW

This time, we're leaping forwards in time 28,000 years, as we ask what caused the era defining Horus Heresy in Games Workshop's Warhammer 40k universe. Was it inevitable, or does it all boil down to "the Emperor was an idiot"? Next time, we're excited to welcome our second ever guest to the show, when we look at Creative

Today, we ask whether the Lord Ruler from Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn Era 1 trilogy is the villain he's presented as, or a tragically misunderstood hero with the best of intentions.

Hello, and welcome to Episode 16 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking. We are entering the world that's almost bigger than our own - the Marvel Cinematic Universe as we talk all things Loki. At least that's what we thought going into this, but regular listeners will know we tend to meander. So get ready for a bit of Loki and a whole lot of other (mainly MCU) things. Next time, we're

Hello, and welcome to Episode 14 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking. Today is a very special episode as we welcome Ellie, our first ever guest to the show! Sean has brought in reinforcements to back him up on his view that the Ministry of Magic in the Harry Potter universe is an insurgency, wizards are ethically dubious (at best), and drones are apparently the answer. Oh, and both the hosts
