In this enchanted episode of Return of the Nerd, Johnny and Ernie welcome back special guest Morgan. This time she’s going to teach the boys about her favorite game, Magic the Gathering. It’s been many, many, many years since Johnny has played (yeah, he’s old, whatever) and Ernie is strictly a cardboard crack dealer when it comes to this collectible card game. You can just about hear their blank stares as Morgan releases a flurry of acronyms regarding tournaments, but not to worry, a good time is had by all and Johnny may just pick up a deck to play again soon, listen and find out.

In this exciting episode Ernie catches Johnny up on what he’s missed in the world of wrestling since he stopped watching it about ten years ago. They also reminisce about the old days and who their favorite personalities were. Will Ernie get Johnny to watch wrestling? Will Ernie’s passion for sports entertainment make you want to watch? You’ll have to listen to find out. One thing is for certain though, we will smack you down to the mat with laughs on this raw episode of Return of the Nerd!

Them RotN boys are at it again, talking toys and taking tangents. At least this time the toys talked about are not from Johnny and Ernie’s childhood, but actually on toys shelves at this very moment… unless you listen to this episode in the far future, by then who knows what will be out, but that’s enough rambling for an episode description. So sit back and enjoy Return of the Nerd!

The boys are back and this time their inconsistent schedule and months delay between recording and posting an episode actually works out as Johnny and Ernie discuss Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens (recorded mere weeks after the movies theatrical release) just in time for the Blu-ray release!

Johnny is a big Funko Pop fan and Ernie… likes them well enough, but they both love Marvel so these boxes are something they look forward to every other month. Find out what they thought about each one and since this episode was recorded SOOOO long ago they decided to record their reactions to the last two boxes that had come out since they first sat down. Enjoy!

On this episode Johnny and the ever present Ernie sit down and talk Stand Up Comedy. Hear them discuss who their favorite comedians are and what kind of impact comedy has had on their lives.

So strap in for a roller coaster of laughs and tears on this episode of RETURN OF THE NERD!
