Nerd Stuff
With no real subject this week, the crew meanders through comics, movies and the lore behind Rainbow Brite.
The one who actually reads every comic before recording.
Brent has been a nerd since the day his grandfather handed him a Hulk comic in an attempt to shut him up during a long car ride. Working as a professional nerd for outlets like A Journal of Musical Things, Flink, Geek Hard and many more, he now does it for fun on True North Nerds… at least he thinks that’s why.
