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.

Join Nerds Talk Movies this week as our crew talks all kinds of spoilers for the film that promised to change the hierarchy of power in the DC universe, Black Adam.
Here’s a synopsis for Black Adam, courtesy of IMDb:
"Nearly 5,000 years after he was bestowed with the almighty powers of the Egyptian gods--and imprisoned just as quickly--Black Adam is freed from his earthly tomb, ready to unleash his unique form of justice on the modern world."
This episode was recorded just a few hours after news broke that James Gunn and Peter Safran were named as the new Co-CEOs of DC Studios. So, we also had a pretty lengthy discussion about our thoughts on that news and our thoughts on DC's future (NOTE: The DC Studios discussion starts around the 2-hour mark).
