Listen Up: Nerds of Prey

I first heard of the Nerds of Prey podcast during their guest-host stint on an episode of the Food Fight podcast. The Nerds of Prey podcast debuted earlier this year, and hosts Shannon, CG, Lauren, and Mel already have a great rapport with one another. Four Black nerd women hold court of everything in the geek galaxy- movies, comics, television and gaming. They've managed to score some impressive interviews too, like Executive Producer of Lost, Alias and Fringe Monica Owusu-Breen.

Listen Up: Blacker Than Black Times Infinity

While listening to the Those Damn Comic Book Guys podcast, I was really taken with a request guest they'd have on to talk about anime: Prodigy. Prodigy was insightful and funny, and I was delighted to find out he's also one of the hosts of a great ensemble podcast called Blacker Than Black Times Infinity.  Hosted by Prodigy and three of his friends (Stitch, Old Ninja, and Blue Cronus), they talk about everything nerdy: video games, comic books, tv shows, streaming media, anime (they all have been anime fans since they were little kids), and superhero movies from the indie to the AAA blockbusters.

Their facebook is here, and you can listen along on their Soundcloud or via iTunes.

Best Possible Version of Young Justice Released

Young Justice was a series that was canceled despite good ratings and a large fan base and is a prime example of a great series cancelled way too soon. There were a few DVDs released, but they were released across 4 bare-bones DVDs and DVD set in a confusing manner. Now Young Justice fans get some entertainment justice The complete first season of Young Justice was released on Blu-ray yesterday!

No word on a second season yet, but word is that strong sales of this DVD will send a strong case for releasing the rest of the series in a similar fashion.
