On Oct. 13 to 16, The Rag-NERD-rok crew attended New York Comic Con, the convention where dreams and nightmares come true in equal measure. In this episode, we’ll give you the rundown of our experiences at the con, including tales of how we met the stars (and were shot down), the panels we attended, and the unimaginably long lines we waited on. Later, we’ll give our reviews of this year’s NYCC, and Erik presents a segment of interviews he conducted with cosplayers at the Javits Center. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and pack your own food, because Comic Con is happening again on this week’s episode of Rag-NERD-rok!

In this week’s episode, Ed has been consumed by a horrifying transformation that split him into two women, our guests, Allyson and Alicia! They join the rest of the Rag-NERD-rok Crew for a walk down memory lane to revisit all those fondly remembered franchises from our childhoods that are now making a comeback. Why is this happening? Who is responsible? And what, exactly, makes a franchise reboot successful? We tackle these questions and more in our discussion about nostalgia. Later, Alex and Meyer pay tribute to the “Gears of War” video game series, and we read some very special comments that are just too “good” to be posted on the site. Enjoy!

Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice. Judging by these poll results, it looks like those who favor fire — nuclear fire, that is — have won out! Congratulations to Ed, our foremost apocalypse debater. Now, everyone get down to the fallout shelter as quickly as you can, put your head between your knees, and try not to think about all your loved ones who are being flash-fried into ash as we speak.

This week’s episode covers the very best of the very worst, those films that are just so egregiously bad that they are somehow perverse achievements of genius. We talk about five of our favorite stinkers, the kind of movies that made the careers of Joel Hodsgon and Mike Nelson, and give you the rundown about what’s so awe-inspiringly awful about them. After the break, Meyer, Ryan and Erik put their hairy arms on the line in The Nerd Mom Adhesive Bandage Challenge, a contest to see whose mother knows more about nerdy trivia. Join The Rag-NERD-rok crew and their special guest, Will Wohlsen, as they plumb the depths of crap cinema for the most perfect fecal gems around, but be forewarned: these movies are not for the faint of heart.

The episode we’ve all been waiting for is finally here! This week, the boys in The Rag-NERD-rok Crew answer what is perhaps one of the most difficult questions in all of nerd-dom: which apocalypse is the best apocalypse? Ed, Ryan, Erik and Meyer face off in a formal debate moderated by Alex to get to the bottom of this matter once and for all. Later, Ryan reviews the new “Fiasco Companion,” published by Bully Pulpit Games in June of 2011, and the boys in The Crew discuss their experiences playing the game, writing playsets, and using the results to fuel their creative endeavors. Finally, Ed presents the second episode of his serial drama, “Dead of Winter.” We hope you enjoy the much-lauded Episode 008, our best so far!
