The Nearly Nerds Podcast
A group of Christian guys by the names of Lincoln, Declan, and Sam have put together this series to explore the different sides of world building, praise and criticize different stories, and go deep into geek thought. From Cinematic masterpieces, to movies and stories that might only be known by us! We are not hardcore by any means… We are only very Nearly Nerds.
The Warden and the Pod-Kings
Lincoln and Sam return with another special guest; Star Warden! Star comes from a galaxy far, far away to discuss with the Nearly Nerds topics from Declan's mysterious (though temporary) disapearance to The Wingfeather Saga. Your hosts hope you enjoy the episode!

Nearly Notes with Nozart
The Nearly Nerds return from a long summer of getting their lives together to bring you their very first music episode! Though we lack the presence of Declan, a new voice has taken the mic for today; That's right, folks, this episode features the very first special guest star in the Nearly Nerds' history, YNS Nozart! Take a listen and hear your hosts and guest discuss the power of music in movies, musicals, and a very unlikely kid's show on Disney Junior...
Check out YNS Nozart on Spotify and give his music a listen using the link...
Hey Hey Hey... We're back...
That's right, folks Nearly Nerds are not gone; After months of being gone, they have returned!
Hello...? Anybody there?
Well, if anybody is still listening, here is a very unhinged episode! From the Barbie Movie to why Declan isn't afraid of Zombies, the Nearly Nerds do the same thing that they often criticize large movie corporations for; publish content to fill time! Rest assured, they will return with more thought out content as well as, possibly, a guest star...?
What Are You Still Doing Here?
This first episode features Lincoln, Declan, and Sam reflecting on- Wait...
Hey hey hey! One year ago today, the Nearly Nerds put out their very first episode and all ye faithful listened. Today, your hosts have assembled a list of their top five favorite movies of all time, as well as some on-the-go interesting conversations...
It's About Time...
Great Scott! The Nearly Nerds return once more from the past (Like, two days ago when they recorded it) with a mediocre episode about Back to the Future and other random time-travel stuff. They hope you enjoy!
Oh yes, it is now officially Christmas season and the soon-to-be 1 year anniversary of the Nearly Nerds Podcast! Thank you, to those that have stuck with us for this long! Email us suggestions for what to do on the 15th and potential Christmas episodes this month!

It's a Canon Event
The Nearly Nerds finish a topic of discussion they intended to pick up last episode; Spider-Man: Across/Into the Spider-Verse. Listen and grieve with Declan as he learns that he would have been this dimension's Spider-Man were it not for Miles. Enjoy the show, and remember: With great power comes great upside-down skylines.

With Great Power...
After a long time without posting, the nearly nerds swing back into action with a topic that has no doubt captured the eye of a great audience... Spider-Man! (It's a cannon event)
Page to Screen: The Sorcerer's Stone
Lincoln and Sam dive into the magical world of Harry Potter to explore it in depth. Sam praises the book with such great description, while Lincoln critiques the movie with such little description. (Lincoln totally didn't write this description) Anyways, enough about us. Enjoy the episode!

Destiny Fulfilled?
"Where are the Nearly Nerds?" they cry,
"They've been gone since last June!"
Throughout the land of Spotify,
Many ceased to tune.
But soon, alas, they will return
Just as they have begun.
Your host's topic, as you'll learn,
Is of the Chosen One...
Hey hey hey... Your hosts apologize for the delay. Enjoy their discussion about the story concept of the Chosen One!
The Rant-om Menace Part 2
The Nearly Nerds return to Mustifar (or Tatooine? Any other scorching hot Star Wars planet?). In an attempt to save the thing he values so much, Declan continues to defend the prequals. The battle between the dark and the light is at a draw... for now... Stay tuned for an episode dedicated to the originals! May the force be with you, and all that.
The Rant-om Menace Part 1
Hey, hey, hey... Sorry for the Delay...The Nearly Nerds return on a heated day to a heated discussion about the hottest topic yet... the Star Wars prequels. In the debate, Lincoln chooses the Dark Side, Declan chooses the light, and Sam is the chosen one. This is only half of the Nearly Nerds' prequel battle, so stay tuned for the second half coming soon to finish the debate.
A Waltz Through Pixar: Fish Are Friends. Not Food.
Declan and Sam are back with the next Pixar movie in the series . . . Finding Nemo! In this episode, your hosts draw out the theme of trust, the importance of foil characters, as well as point out the Lincoln Cameo. Remember, if you ever get tired of their voices (I know I do . . .), they encourage you to "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming" (or listening, as the case may be).
Return of the (Nearly) Nerds
A long time ago in a Galaxy far, far away. . .
The Nearly Nerds return in a dramatic manor to battle over the most pressing questions of all time. . . all revolving around the Star Wars universe. Despite their intense quarrel over the significance of Jar Jar Binks and backflashes, your hosts are most glad to come back with season two! Thanks for staying with us! Now prepare to listen, for "Your eyes will deceive you. Don't trust them."

It's a Bird . . . It's a Plane . . .
As the Nearly Nerds put on their last superhero episode (for a while, any way), they must figure out what makes a good superhero story. Here we discuss golden hair in non-existent space wind, dumb logos that have stubbornly stuck since the 30s, and new potential hero projects from DC.

The Dark Segment
For thousands of years, villains from almost every story have terrorized the heroes that take part in such tales. Today, our hosts conquer an equally terrifying question: Which villains are the greatest? This episode will cover our hosts' top five personal favorite antagonists and explain why they picked them. Remember, do not become too upset with these choices. Controversy leads to hate, and hate leads to the dark side.

Some of these questions are incredibly interesting. If you want to follow along and tell us some of your answers and additional questions of your own, you can tag us on Instagram at thenearlynerdspodcast or email...

This Episode is Like Swiss Cheese
Once upon a time, there was group of nerds (though very nearly was their nerdiness) who made a podcast episode about Finch. With a new segment called nearly noticed, Tom Hanks (again), and a renowned, inspiring quote from Declan, this episode is not based on initiative.
