If you watched the janky oddity that is the 2017 Death Note movie or the Scarlet Johansson Ghost in the Shell that also came out in 2017 (what a tough year) this is the episode for you! Anime is massive and yet a successful live action adaptation of one that's as good as the source material seems harder to find than the one piece treasure (With One Piece being the exception that breaks the rule) . Jake explains why this is and we all analyze some of the attempts including Cowboy Bebop, the insanity that is the Wachowski's Speed Racer, and yes even Dragon Ball Evolution because we love entertaining you more than we respect ourselves.Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

Nature vs. Nerdture
Are we born nerds or are we raised to be them? What impact does our environment have on who we are and what we love and just how important are the people around us? Our hosts open up about how they were raised and whether or not they think they were meant to still love Mario and She Hulk in their 40s. This one's got Jake deep diving into genetics, Holden's attempts at getting his dad to play Balatro, and Mike talking about how the games of the Sega Genesis allow him and his brother to honor their dead dad. Then we read some lovely letters from you the listeners about your upbringings and journeys. This one gets emotional but in the best way possible.Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

The Nerds got their Revenge, now what? That’s what comedians Holden McNeely, Mike Lawrence, and Jake Young are trying to figure out in the weekly combination tribunal/confessional “Nerd of Mouth.” Recorded from the dankest basement in the “Last Podcast on the Left” studios, we’re getting to the bottom of whether there’s more to life than any% WR videogame speedruns, limited edition action figures, and anime shows about ludicrously strong children beating each other up. Theme song by Grant Gordon, logo by Andy Kluthe.
