Ariel and Jonathan talk about a movie using AI to recreate a recently-departed actor to make the movie he was going to make before their health declined and how that makes them feel. They also chat about Spring geekery, the stuff they've been watching, and why the title drop video for the next Sonic the Hedgehog movie irritates them.

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!

We recorded this episode on Friday the 13th, but Jonathan wasn't able to edit and publish until Saturday the 14th. Is it due to a curse???? Or just Jonathan's poor time management skills? Probably the second one. Anyway, we talk about stuff like how HBO Max and Paramount+ may end up being combined if the acquisition deal goes through, how being Dorothy Gale changed the lives of various actors, and spiders the size of Andrew Garfield. Plus more!

First, apologies for the late publication! It was a hectic weekend of travel for your humble editor and publisher. More importantly, Ariel and Jonathan talk about the return of low brow Hollywood comedies, the upcoming Lanterns TV series, and a pretty gross puppet.
