| 2/26/26 | This Timeline is Weird: PlayStation Showcase Reactions, AI Content Debate & BAFTA Surprises | Season 7 rolls on with Romi and Sean stepping into the digital chaos, kicking things off with a candid catch-up about the rise of AI-generated “slop” and whether online content has officially entered its stale era. Are we drowning in algorithm-chasing sameness? And are we part of the problem? It’s existential… but funny. From there, it’s all gas, no brakes. The PlayStation Showcase gets a full breakdown — including Scars of Kosmora, the spiritual successor to Kena: Bridge of Spirits, a potent... | 1h 22m 37s | ||||||
| 2/19/26 | First Debate Episode: No Context, Just Chaos | 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 — guarant... | 44m 58s | ||||||
| 2/12/26 | Sean vs Salmonella: Nerd News & Near Death | 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. ... | 1h 27m 10s | ||||||

| 11/27/25 | Ho-Ho-Holiday Hot Takes: The Great ONB Holiday Debate | In this special holiday debate episode, the Ol’ Nerdy Bastards unwrap a sleigh-full of nerdy Christmas controversies, fandom hot takes, and festive what-ifs. From asking the eternal question—“Is Die Hard actually a Christmas movie?”—to arguing whether the Grinch is secretly the hero of Whoville, Sean and Romi dive headfirst into the movies, games, and pop-culture moments that make the season merry and mildly infuriating. The guys battle over which franchise truly captures the holiday spirit, ... | 59m 26s | ||||||
| 11/20/25 | A Very ONB Holiday Meltdown | In this festive-but-chaotic holiday special, the Ol’ Nerdy Bastards dive into everything merry, messy, and mildly unhinged about the season. Sean and Romi kick things off by debating the most controversial question of December: When is it acceptable to put up Christmas lights—right after Halloween or only once the snow hits? From there, they unwrap their favourite childhood gifts, confess the presents their parents absolutely refused to buy, and ask the big question: Has capitalism officially... | 1h 03m 26s | ||||||
| 11/13/25 | Achievements Unlocked: Old Man Yells at Console - The Video Game Debates | In this gaming-themed debate special, the Ol’ Nerdy Bastards ask the ultimate question: “Whatever happened to gaming?” Sean and Romi dive into the glory days of couch co-op, midnight releases, and the games that made them fall in love with the hobby—then clash over whether modern gaming has evolved or completely sold its soul. From rapid-fire “This or That” battles to arguing the greatest boss fights, most iconic gaming moments, and the spiciest hot takes (yes, even the “PS2 is still king” de... | 1h 02m 27s | ||||||
| 11/6/25 | Respawned and Ready to Rant: Bastards Chat Video Games | The Ol’ Nerdy Bastards kick off this week licking their wounds after the Blue Jays’ World Series heartbreak, but the boys quickly trade bats for controllers as they dive headfirst into the world of video games.

In “Would You Survive?”, Romi and Sean test their odds against iconic killers and creatures — from Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees to Jigsaw, Xenomorphs, and even the twisted world of A Quiet Place. Who’s the Final Bastard… and who’s zombie food? Then it’s on to Blind Ranking: Horror Edition, where chaos reigns as they rank classic slashers... | 1h 16m 16s | ||||||

| 10/16/25 | The Icon Off: Heroes, Legendary Moments, & Filmography Feuds | The Bastards are back for another fiery debate — and this time, Romi’s putting Sean in the hot seat. In this episode, it’s all about iconic performances and legendary moments. First, it’s a cinematic showdown of This or That: Spider-Man 2’s train rescue or the upside-down kiss? Man of Steel’s first flight or Superman Returns’ plane save? Then they square off over who truly defined their superhero roles — from cape to claws and everything in between. But things heat up when Romi zooms out to t... | 53m 04s | ||||||
| 10/9/25 | Whatever Happened To...? | In Episode 5, the Bastards fire up the time machine for a trip down pop culture memory lane with “Whatever Happened To…?" Romi and Sean dig into the stars, shows, and films that once ruled nerd culture — and then suddenly vanished from the spotlight. From Josh Hartnett’s mysterious fade-out and Brendan Fraser’s long-awaited comeback, to Mischa Barton’s rise and retreat, they revisit the highs, lows, and “what ifs” of the early 2000s. Plus, they unpack the legacy of once-hyped phenomena like H... | 1h 29m 38s | ||||||
| 10/2/25 | A Bastards Debate: This, That, or Total Nerd Chaos | The Bastards are back in the hot seat as SP puts RC through the ultimate nerd gauntlet of This or That, Agree or Disagree, and Would You Rather. From choosing between the magic of 90s Disney or the brilliance of 2000s Pixar, to debating cold, hard cash versus the power of a single Kamehameha, no question is too ridiculous — or too real. And when it comes to deciding whether to cure childhood Leukemia or get Superman's powers for a year, things get heated fast. It’s nostalgia, nerdiness, and p... | 55m 04s | ||||||
| 9/25/25 | Bastards Break the News and Rumour Round Up | In Episode 3, the Bastards saddle up for a Rumour Round Up packed with the hottest stories across DC, Marvel, and beyond.

Over at Marvel, we cover Tom Holland’s on-set injury during Spiderman: Brand New Day, a leaked cast image from Avengers: Doomsday, and behind-the-scenes drama with RDJ almost walking over the script. But that’s not al... | 1h 17m 12s | ||||||
| 9/18/25 | Ol’ Nerdy Fight Club | The Bastards are back in the ring for Season 6, Episode 2 — and this time, it’s all about the ultimate nerd debates. Who comes out on top when worlds collide? We pit Magneto against Darth Vader, Wolverine against Kratos, and Thor against Wonder Woman, plus more, in a no-holds-barred showdown of strength, smarts, and sheer badassery. Expect heated arguments, shocking takes, and maybe even a few betrayals as we crown the true champions of these dream matchups. Ol' Nerdy Bastards (LinkTree) | 52m 05s | ||||||
