Description

Part news show, part panel discussion and part blue-sky brainstorming, the Large Nerdron Collider is a podcast that embraces the geekiest of geeky tendencies. Whether it’s a deep discussion over which superhero needs their own standalone film (come on, Squirrel Girl!) or a look at how the changing power dynamics within geek culture are shaping entertainment, the Large Nerdron Collider is here to dive in. Plus, each episode will have a stream-of-consciousness mashup where two or more geeky properties are molded into something new (though not necessarily improved). Ever wondered how the Scooby Doo gang would take down The Jigsaw Killer? So do we, and we’re weird enough to figure it out!

LNC Ain't No April Fool

2026/04/05

Ariel and Jonathan talk about some of their favorite geeky April Fools jokes, Ariel attempts to escape Spider Manor (it's ok, it's just a name -- it's really just Spider House), and Jonathan slips in an audio cue from an old horror movie (but misnames it because the actual film title is "Mothman Prophecies," not "Mothman"). And more! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

LNC Forgot that it was Friday the 13th

2026/03/14

We recorded this episode on Friday the 13th, but Jonathan wasn't able to edit and publish until Saturday the 14th. Is it due to a curse???? Or just Jonathan's poor time management skills? Probably the second one. Anyway, we talk about stuff like how HBO Max and Paramount+ may end up being combined if the acquisition deal goes through, how being Dorothy Gale changed the lives of various actors, and spiders the size of Andrew Garfield. Plus more! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

LNC Shines a Lantern on Low Brow Comedy

2026/03/09

First, apologies for the late publication! It was a hectic weekend of travel for your humble editor and publisher. More importantly, Ariel and Jonathan talk about the return of low brow Hollywood comedies, the upcoming Lanterns TV series, and a pretty gross puppet. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

LNC Asks Did Dropout TV Make a Rookie Mistake?

2026/02/28

The next episode of TV cop dramedy The Rookie drops in on Dropout TV, which has left some members of the fan community angry. Did they make a mistake, or is this misplaced outrage? Plus we talk about a lot of geek news and some truly weird upcoming horror movies. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

LNC Wants to Meet Some Disney Villains

2026/02/21

Ariel and Jonathan talk about a rumor that Walt Disney World is having Imagineers dream bigger for the upcoming Villain Land expansion to the Magic Kingdom. Plus, we chat about romantic movies, one of James Van der Beek's final films that's coming out soon, and a bunch of geeky stuff! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

LNC Crushes on Fictional Characters for Valentines Day

2026/02/13

Ariel and Jonathan reveal their fictional character crushes. We hear about some upcoming broadway adaptations of everything from Practical Magic to A Princess Bride. Jonathan may need to re-think his opinion on Minions movies. And much more! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

LNC Forgot to Nominate Wicked for the Oscars

2026/01/31

We talk about what action figure we'd make of ourselves, how "Sinners" broke records in Academy Award nominations while Wicked: For Good came up empty, Ariel's trip to Epic Universe and a ton of geeky trailers. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

LNC Says "Welcome To Derry Girls"

2026/01/19

Well, that didn't take long. Jonathan makes a classic name mix-em-up in this episode, but does Ariel have the opportunity to pounce? More importantly, we talk about geek news ranging from the bloodiest trailer we've seen in years to a horror movie tie-in with Wizard of Oz. And more! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

LNC Experiences Keith Urban Decay

2026/01/10

Normally Jonathan is the one to flub names, but this time Ariel did a tiny flub and Jonathan turned it into a recurring bit. Jonathan is also the one who writes these descriptions, and he thinks it would only be fair if Ariel did the same thing to him the next time (or next dozen times) he does something like that. Oh, and we talk about movies and stuff too. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

LNC Resolves to Be Geekier in 2026

2026/01/03

Ariel and Jonathan wanted to announce that there was no show this week, so they spend 30 minutes not doing a show. Even our no-show announcements ramble! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

LNC is Part of the Furniture

2025/12/23

This week, we talk about that teaser for Avengers: Doomsday, a trailer for The Odyssey that probably plays better on the (really, really) big screen, and a film in which Juliette Lewis has a Freaky Friday style body swap with . . . a chair??? Plus, the story Jonathan was trying to remember regarding a plot to have a fake kidnapping was The Fantasticks. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

LNC Tries On Some Capes For Christmas

2025/12/12

Ariel and Jonathan talk about Christmas songs, how Paramount is trying to pull a hostile takeover on Warner Bros, and more superhero content than you can shake a super stick at! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

LNC is Visited by Three Spirits

2025/12/06

In this Jumbo Edition of our show, Ariel and Jonathan talk about their favorite version of A Christmas Carol, the bombshell news that Netflix is set to acquire Warner Bros Discovery (and how that could have a big impact on pop culture), and more horror news than you can shake a stick at! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

LNC Wears Prada Too

2025/11/22

Ariel and Jonathan chat about Turkey Day recipes, weird sandwiches, more live action adaptations, and the differences between cannibal movies and zombie movies. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

2025/11/15

Like most of it.

I like the news and discussion, not as interested in the mashup at the end.
