Split show tonight - our first half deals with the tragedy surrounding the death of endangered gorilla Harambe at the Cincinnati Zoo, and in the second part of the evening we talk about the nature of voice acting along with our favorite TV shows adapted from film. We also discuss the horrible ones - TMNT Next Mutation we're looking at you here.

This week's top story - Jimmy Snuka is found incompetent to stand trial for the murder of Nancy Argentino. We cover all the court proceedings and discuss Snuka's legacy in the wake of his legal trouble. The PWU gang also talks about Cena's return on RAW and his confrontation with the Club, how some wrestlers and fans have unfairly condemned the epic Ricochet/Ospreay showdown, Cody Rhodes' list, Goldberg, WWE 2k17, NXT: The End, and we give our thoughts on the upcoming main roster split.

Tonight is all about controversy. We talk about the things that infuriate us. We dig deep into our psyche and talk about the things that absolutely make us want to tear our hair out, and we share those with you! From politics to idiot nature lovers, people who exploit the sufferers to lying governments - we get messy on this one. There is something in there about stuff that makes us happy too, and someone cries. We also read your feedback on what really grinds your gears!

This week on Nerd Up Jesse is joined by Mandy Kennedy, Asa Gray, and Seanan Young to talk about the recent Captain America reveal in comics, Netflix's new deal with Disney, and a discussion on the merits and faults of Battleborn and Overwatch.  The gang is surprisingly split on this one and there's a lot of arguments for and against both games.  

PZ85 Sports is here for your Memorial Day Weekend sports coverage! Cody jumps into the shakeup at Baylor in light of its sexual assault accusations, Keenan Reynolds and how the Navy is handling his military commitment, and Ludacris' rider when performing at the University of Georgia.

This show was difficult to record, both emotionally and technically. Despite losing our hope for a new era following Extreme Rules, we press on and cover the hottest news in wrestling. This week - we give our thoughts on Extreme Rules and it's mediocre and predictable booking, talk about the big angles on RAW featuring AJ Styles/Charlotte/Reigns/Rollins, preview our big discussion about the newly announced brand split, and Asa gives a heartfelt rant in the wake of Cody Rhodes statement regarding his sudden departure from WWE.

This week Jesse is joined by Lindsey and Mandy to cover Spider Man homecoming rumors, the new Ghostbusters trailer and why the international version is better, new Pokemon starter final evolution type leaks, and their fury behind Fox's most recent exploitation of YouTube's fair use policies.  They also discuss a few new video game announcements and some new Yooka Laylee news.

This week is all about movies. Hear us rant about the new Ghostbusters reboot, as diehard fan Seanán opens up the floodgates of rage against those who have harshly and unfairly judged the new film without seeing it. Lindsey and Jesse join him to discuss Bill Murray's baffling refusal to return to the franchise, when Adam Sandler stopped being fun, the Suicide Squad, trailers, 100 million reasons to play James Bond, Madea, and we ask the important question - why the hell does the new Tetris film cost 80 million to make?!

We're days away from Extreme Rules, and this week we answer the ultimate question - can AJ Styles beat Roman Reigns? No. No he can't. However, we still preview the PPV, and your classic three are joined by Big Johnny himself! We give our opinions, insights, and predictions for this Sunday, as well cover Emma's injury, RAW, NXT, who to fire next, and much more!
