TNS Network is a collection of podcasts creating content across video games, movies, television, comics, and more. Power Up And Game is a weekly video game news podcast covering some of the most trending stories in the gaming industry. With Nerds Talk Movies, another weekly podcast, our “experts” review a new movie or TV series every week via our Retrospectives and Spoiler Talks. We also have semi-regular content such as Longbox Hunters, where two longtime friends and lifelong nerds talk about all things comics. Each episode (or issue) will cover what they’ve been reading recently before moving on to whatever that edition’s topic may be, with plenty of room for discussion, discourse, and even the occasional special guest to keep things fresh. From story arc analysis to character history deep dives and debates over widely contested comic book plot points and hot topics, Tristan and Drew cover everything in between all while bringing their trademark wit and enthusiasm that listeners of Nerds Talk Movies know and love. Finally, there is Clash At The Stash. This is a competition series featuring those of us at TNS Network and other fantastic content creators where we all debate over various nerd culture topics. Some episodes contain very straightforward topics and others may require contestants to be a bit more creative.

(PROGRAMMING NOTE: We had a slight mix-up in this episode due to us accidentally ranking Spider-Man: Far From Home twice. Once in last week's episode and once in this episode.)
We at Nerds Talk Movies are wrapping up 2022 by putting together one "definitive" list of the best MCU movies and TV shows so far.
Last week, we ranked #40 - 11. We also explained the rules to this very convoluted list and what movies/shows would be available to pick. So, be sure to check out that episode before listening to this one.
In this episode, we are ranking our Top 10. Down below, you can see how that turned out:
