The Nerd Stash sponsors TNS Network, which 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.

This week on Power Up And Game, we're taking a break from our typical news-centric format in favor of our first video game Deep-Dive Discussion in a long time.
Since this weekend marks the beginning of a new NFL season, we thought it was time to take a look at the latest installment of the Madden NFL franchise, Madden NFL 23.
If this is your first time listening to this podcast, our Deep-Dive Discussions are basically mini-reviews that we just don’t want to call reviews. We might do Deep-Dive Discussions on recent releases or games we just want to talk about.
And at the end of our discussion, we’ll give our verdict on whether or not we’d recommend the game at its current price, if you should wait until a decent sale comes along, or if we just don’t recommend it at all.

Is Madden NFL 23 an improvement on previous installments? Or is it another misstep for this once-beloved series? What game or game franchise would you want to hear a Deep-Dive Discussion on? Join our Discord and let us know!
On next week's Power Up And Game, we are going back to covering some news around the gaming industry.
