Nerds Talking: Deadpool and Wolverine Hit Theaters, Joker 2 Trailer, Land of Bad Review, and Olympics Debate

This week on Nerds Talking, we dive into the highly anticipated release of Deadpool and Wolverine! The movie has finally hit theaters, but will you watch it? Carlos already has, but he’s keeping tight-lipped to avoid any spoilers. The excitement doesn’t stop there; the trailer for Joker 2 has just dropped, and Marie has some strong opinions about the upcoming film that you won’t want to miss.

Next, we review the intense American war film *Land of Bad*. Directed by William Eubank and co-written with David Frigerio, this film stars an impressive cast including Liam Hemsworth, Russell Crowe, Luke Hemsworth, Ricky Whittle, and Milo Ventimiglia. The story follows Captain Eddie "Reaper" Grimm, a US Air Force drone pilot, and Staff Sergeant Nia Branson as they provide air support for a US Army Delta Force team on a mission to rescue a CIA spy in the southern Philippines. Amidst a fierce firefight with the Abu Sayyaf, Sergeant JJ "Playboy" Kinney, a young Air Force TACP Airman attached to the Delta Force team, is seemingly the only survivor and must rely on the Reaper's remote air support to reach the extraction point.

Lastly, we turn our attention to the Olympics. We debate the inclusion of certain "sports" in the games—are they truly sports, or just games? Join us as we break down what belongs in the Olympics and what doesn’t.

Tune in for all this and more on this week's episode of Nerds Talking the Podcast!
