🎙️ IT’S MORPHIN TIME… for the ultimate Power Rangers deep dive! 🎙️
In this Nerd History audio experience, we’re combining our full Mighty Morphin Power Rangers mini-documentary AND our nostalgic discussion podcast into one epic trip through 30+ years of Ranger history.

From the Japanese roots of Super Sentai to the American teen heroes of Angel Grove, we explore:
– How Mighty Morphin Power Rangers became a surprise '90s phenomenon
– The rise of Tommy Oliver and the legendary legacy of Jason David Frank
– Behind-the-scenes of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie and its place in canon
– The ongoing impact of Ranger merch, toys, video games, and comic books
– The emotional return in Once & Always
– A breakdown of the franchise’s current status, future hopes, and why the camp still matters

Hosted by Radio Matt and Deidra from Love Thy Nerd, this is the most morphinomenal audio retrospective out there.

In this episode of the Nerd History Podcast, we're shining a light on Sector 2814’s most legendary protector—Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern. First, enjoy our full mini-documentary detailing Hal’s journey from fearless test pilot to cosmic enforcer, tragic villain, and ultimately redeemed hero. We trace his origins in the Silver Age, his infamous turn as Parallax, and the mythos-expanding era led by writer Geoff Johns, including the Emotional Spectrum and Blackest Night.

Then stick around as Radio Matt and Deidra dive even deeper in an exclusive follow-up discussion. Together, they explore what sets Hal apart from other Lanterns, debate the impact of the Emerald Twilight arc, nerd out over their favorite Lantern Corps, and reflect on how Hal’s story mirrors powerful spiritual truths about fear, failure, and redemption.

This episode is for fans new and old—those who wear the ring proudly and those curious about what makes Green Lantern shine so brightly in nerd culture.

Topics include:

• Hal Jordan vs. the other Earth Lanterns
• Was Parallax a betrayal or brilliance?
• How Geoff Johns rebuilt the Lantern mythos
• The best (and weirdest) Lantern Corps
• Why the 2011 Green Lantern movie missed the mark
• Hal Jordan’s spiritual parallels and enduring legacy

In brightest day, in blackest night… we tell the stories that shaped your nerdy life.

Great Scott! Back to the Future isn’t just a movie—it’s a generational landmark in nerd culture. In this episode of the Nerd History Podcast, we’re taking you on a full journey through time with an immersive look at the film’s creation, legacy, and the deeper questions it raises.

We’ll explore the true story behind the film’s development, the iconic casting switch from Eric Stoltz to Michael J. Fox, and the behind-the-scenes chaos that helped shape one of the greatest sci-fi comedies of all time. From the DeLorean’s mechanical failures to Alan Silvestri’s soaring score, nothing is off-limits.

Then we’ll dive into thoughtful and fun discussion—tackling the unanswered questions of Doc and Marty’s friendship, the philosophical themes of fate and free will, the staying power of nostalgia, and whether a fourth film should ever exist. We’ll even touch on the expanded universe from comics and video games and end with a question worth pondering: Would you be friends with your parents in high school?

Set your flux capacitor to fluxing and join us as we go back… way back.
