A new musical adaptation of Romeo and Juliet rubs our hosts the wrong way. Plus, there's talk in Hollywood about how all the industry jobs are moving out of town. And we chat about a ton of upcoming movies and series to boot!

Part news show, part panel discussion and part blue-sky brainstorming, the Large Nerdron Collider is a podcast that embraces the geekiest of geeky tendencies. Whether it’s a deep discussion over which superhero needs their own standalone film (come on, Squirrel Girl!) or a look at how the changing power dynamics within geek culture are shaping entertainment, the Large Nerdron Collider is here to dive in. Plus, each episode will have a stream-of-consciousness mashup where two or more geeky properties are molded into something new (though not necessarily improved). Ever wondered how the Scooby Doo gang would take down The Jigsaw Killer? So do we, and we’re weird enough to figure it out!

This episode is late because Jonathan had a rough few days, but is feeling much better now. Anyway, apologies for how long it took to get this episode up online -- it was recorded on Friday, May 2, 2025. We talk about the Tony nominations, Avatar The Last Airbender's 20th anniversary, and our weekend plans.

Ariel and Jonathan talk a lot about upcoming movies and series, how great it is to see older women portrayed in films as being cool, capable and sexy, and the downside of method acting. But they really geek out when they talk about Epic Universe, the first new theme park in the US in nearly 25 years!
