Episode Summary Welcome back, Nerds! This week on Distance NERDing, we accidentally discover the afterlife for geeks everywhere... Nerdhalla. ⚡ From wild Spider-Man rumors and X-Men speculation to Wonder Woman's future in the DCU, Lobo's alien swear words, Fallout expanding its wasteland lore, Doctor Who's uncertain future, and whether Lord of the Rings really needs a Hunt for Gollum movie, this episode takes more twists than a multiversal timeline. Along the way, we debate whether Apocalypse was secretly the third wheel in the greatest mutant love triangle ever assembled, determine that Brainiac is basically just a very angry librarian, and wonder why every conversation somehow ends with hot sauce. Grab your helmets, charge your Green Lantern rings, and prepare your seat in Nerdhalla.
