    And Guest hosts Frantz and Aisha welcome the multi-faceted entrepreneur Love Jones to the mic. Love has been in the entertainment business for over 15 years, starting a casting agency at the age of 17! We chat about her love of Black nerdom and feeling seen now that Blerds are coming together stronger than ever. She recalls her late mother and the inspiration to live a full life, which means wanting something and going for it. We explore the mission of Martian Blueberry and the importance of developing and owning your intellectual property (IP.) This episode will reignite that fire to reach for your dreams or at least saw something in half in Gears of War. Get into it!

    It's been a long time we shouldna left you without a dope beat to step to... Yes, the nerds and actors are back with the next wave of podcast plundering. We took some time to figure out our stuff annnnnd still haven't figured it out, but why not keep chatting about the stuff we love? In this episode, we sit down with the content creator and Disney Blerd herself, Tiffie Starchild. Not only does she make hilarious pieces of entertainment, but she is also an absolute delight to chat with, so don't miss as we get into the many sides of Tiffie and get spirited about X-Men '97 and all the ways Magneto was right but more importantly the ways Charles was wrong.
