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.

We’re back with another installment of Clash at the Stash at Nerds Talk Movies!
For this Clash, we decided to build off of our “Who Has The Better DC Movie/Series Idea?” episode. But, instead of pitching one movie or series idea, our competitors were put in charge of putting together an entire DC cinematic universe.
Our competitors have put their films into 3 phases so, we’re going to split this Clash up into 3 parts. Parts 2 and 3 will drop in March.

Our next episode, which is a retrospective on Face/Off, will be out soon.
After that is posted, we’ll start to prep for The Batman by taking a look back at the bleakest Batman films made (so far). Yes, we’re talking about Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy.
