In Episode 2 of Season 7, Romi and Sean turn the chaos dial up and put their reputations on the line. Starting with a 2026 Box Office Snake Draft, where they pick upcoming films and compete to see whose roster will dominate the global box office by year’s end. Strategy, sabotage, and premature victory laps included.

From there, the debates get ruthless. The guys tackle a Blind Rank: Console Generations, locking various consoles into permanent spots without knowing what’s coming next — guaranteeing at least one ranking that will anger the internet. Then it’s time for “This or That – No Context”, a rapid-fire gauntlet of impossible choices: PS2 era vs PS5 era, physical vs digital, single-player vs live service, nostalgia vs innovation — no explanations unless absolutely necessary.

The episode builds to the main showdown: “Modern games don’t respect your time — and we let it happen.” Are bloated runtimes, day-one patches, live-service grinds, and endless content drops killing the magic? Or is this just old-man-yells-at-cloud energy? It’s competitive, it’s nostalgic, it’s spicy — and someone absolutely leaves mad.

Season 7 kicks off with Romi and Sean back behind the mics after some time off—catching up on life, chaos, and the kind of birthday story only Sean could deliver (yes, it involves accidentally eating raw chicken). From there, they dive into the Super Bowl spectacle, breaking down the commercials and Bad Bunny’s halftime show—did it live up to the hype or divide the group chat?

Once the small talk (and food poisoning) is out of the way, it’s straight into the nerd news they missed while away. The guys react to Spider-Man: Brand New Day, unpack what Avengers: Doomsday could mean for the MCU, and speculate wildly—as is tradition. It’s a loose, hilarious, and hype-filled start to a brand-new season, blending real-life absurdity with blockbuster-level nerd energy.

In this special bonus episode, the Ol’ Nerdy Bastards hit rewind and take a look back at everything that defined 2025. Romi and Sean break down their favourite and least favourite movies of the year, finding common ground on standouts like Superman and Sinners while debating what missed the mark. They also run through the best TV shows of 2025, agreeing on The Bear while splitting paths with Romi championing Pluribus and Sean going all-in on The Mighty Nein.

To close things out, the conversation shifts to the moments that blew up timelines and group chats, from the Coldplay Kiss scandal to the rise of Labubus and other pop culture oddities that made 2025 unforgettable. It’s a reflective, fun, and slightly unhinged year-in-review — the perfect capstone to a wild year in nerd culture.
