We debate a question that might break the internet: Is Benoit Blanc actually a better detective than Batman? Meanwhile Netflix may be resurrecting the Universal Monsters , Arnold Schwarzenegger is teasing a return to iconic roles like Predator’s Dutch and Conan , and Pixar might be opening the sequel vault again with Incredibles 3 and Monsters Inc. 3 discussions. Along the way there are terrible Arnold impressions, heated Pixar debates, and the kind of nerdy chaos only Distance NERDing can deliver.
