Episode 107 - Dungeon Crawler Carl Obsession, 151 Pokemon Painting Challenge & Daredevil: Born Again Review

from Frantic Nerdcast · host Frantic Nerdcast

Welcome back to the Frantic Nerdcast! In episode 107, the crew dives deep into the addictive world of audiobooks (or "audio plays"), a massive new art project, and the latest from the MCU on Disney+. We start with a heavy discussion on Dungeon Crawler Carl and the unmatched voice acting of Jeff Hayes. We also explore the difference between standard audiobooks and full-scale audio dramas like The Sandman. AJ reveals his ambitious new creative goal: painting the original 151 Pokemon on individual canvases, starting with Charmander and Diglett. Plus, we give our honest, mixed reviews on Daredevil: Born Again, discussing whether it lived up to the hype and that "weird" bromance ending.
