Recently, production studios strutted their stuff before the advertising world at the annual upfronts. We talk about some of the projects that were announced at the various events. Plus, we chat about geeky moms, how "inspired by actual events" gets Jonathan's dander up, and whether something is really an adaptation if it appears to conflict with authorial intent. And more!

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!
