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.

Our Weekly Poll Question (We'll Read Out Responses Next Week Along With Our Own Answers)
"Hideo Kojima is developing a new tactical espionage game with Sony. This news got me thinking about Kojima’s legendary Metal Gear Solid franchise. So, here’s Power Up And Game’s poll question of the week.
The Metal Gear Solid franchise is known for having absolutely insane moments, both narratively and in terms of gameplay. For example, I think The Sorrow from Metal Gear Solid 3 is one of the most creative boss fights that we’ve ever seen because it brilliantly makes the player confront their actions throughout the story.
Anyway, what is your favorite mind-blowing moment (or moments) in gaming history?”
