Nerd of Mouth
Comedians Holden McNeely, Mike Lawrence, and Jake Young host a weekly combination tribunal and confessional from the Last Podcast on the Left studios. They explore whether there's more to life than video game speedruns, limited edition action figures, and anime shows about super-powered children. The podcast features a theme song by Grant Gordon and logo by Andy Kluthe.
Episodes
Blue Dot Fever and the Fight Against Ticketmaster
It's not in your head and yes inflation is real but ticket prices have indeed kept climbing for years. One company has a monopoly on the industry and doesn't even have the decency to wear a top hat and own hotels on Baltic Avenue. Holden charts the founding of Ticketmaster, how it won the war and now controls everything. But hey, we're not just about doom and gloom here so we're highlighting all t
Remembering When He-Man Had the Power
For about the majority of Reagan’s presidency He-Man was the master of the toy aisle. Concocted by Mattel, aided by the synergy of a cartoon, and ultimately undone by corporate greed and an underperforming movie (that one of our cohost loves) , take a journey with us to Eternia to see a musclebound hero who’s been killed and resurrected many times because you can’t keep a once successful IP down.
The Funny Pages: A Comedy Graveyard
Remember when you’d get a newspaper to feel smart and informed and just go straight to the funny pages to gab with Garfield, chat with Cathy, and umm, see whatever the heck Family Circus was up to? We remember! Reading these informed our future tastes and helped evolve our sense of humor before life got too grim (and stopped being so Mother Goose). Jake takes us on a walk through the history of ne
Below the Radar Sense: A Celebration of Daredevil
Even a blind man can see that Daredevil has been one of the most consistently compelling heroes in the Marvel Universe despite going through more changes than the real life Hell’s Kitchen. But it took some time to get there. Mike takes the boys through his beginnings, the bad times, the weird bad times and the really good times when the fat guy Spider-man fought became the even fatter guy that hat
Another Listener Question Bonanza!
This episode is made possible by listeners like you! You gave us some genuinely thoughtful questions about the future of video games, alternate realities, and whether or not life is too hard to enjoy Elden Ring. Lots of impassioned diatribes in this one folks. We love you all. Yes, even you.

Tiers of Kung Lao: Ranking Mortal Kombat Fatalities.
The boys head to the Outworld to rank every single fatality from the first two Mortal Kombat games in this spine ripping barnburner of an episode! We celebrate the truly gruesome and creative kills and uppercut ourselves in the face every time someone's head gets off in the second one. Some of these fatalities are iconic and still hold up and some just end with someone exploding in a pile of femur
George Lucas and the Revenge of the Prequels
Noooooooo!!! Actually ,yes., We're re-examining the Star Wars prequels with their racist portrayals, wooden dialogue, and still kinda badass lightsaber fights. If you hate these movies Holden is your guy. If you think they're both ambitious and prescient, then Jake is your guy. If you're caught in the middle and just want your friends to hug it out and stop fighting about Jar Jar then you'll agree
The Challenging Journey of Video Game Movie Adaptations: Annihilation
We've talked about video games based on movies but this time we're going the other way and focusing on movies that are based on video games and why they usually suck. Holden guides through the dark ages of Mario and Street Fighter, the darker ages of anything Uwe Boll has done, the mostly forgettable 2010s (There was in fact no need for speed) and how a little electric Pokémon gave the genre the c
The Kevin Smith Episode
In honor of 4/20 we're doing a movie length podcast blabbing about the man behind Silent Bob. Holden Mcneely (Who had that name before Chasing Amy came out!) guides us through his history, his filmography (Yes, all of it),, and oh yeah, Mike gives him some credit to the man behind the View Askewniverse for revitalizing the Marvel universe. Ultimately all three hosts lean on the side of celebrating
Nerd of Mouth Book Club Presents Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 1
Matt Dinniman was an aspiring author and lowly professional drawer of cats (as if there could be any other kind) who struck gold with an ambitious Lit RPG world of shoeless heroes, loquacious cats, biting social commentary. and some good old fashioned violence. Holden gives us the history of Dinniman and the series before we give our full thoughts on the first book and talk about the difficulties
Magic: The Pandering featuring Skulk the Hulking
What do Sephiroth, Aunt May, the Daleks, and Leonardo the Ninja Turtle all have in common?

The Trial of Mr. Beast
A boy named Jimmy studied internet algorithms instead of books and created a gigantic empire to become the most subscribed to YouTuber and is now a billionaire with multiple product lines and dealings with Saudi Arabia, cause hey why not?! Jake argues that he’s just a symptom of the world we live in and providing the entertainment we deserve while Mike thinks his popularity is bad for society, esp
An Absolute Ranking of All the Absolute DC books with Joel Kim Booster
Special guest Joel Kim Booster (Scrubs, Fire Island, K Pop Demon Hunters!!) joins our hosts to review and rank the first arc of every Absolute DC book, the line of comics that’s been a critical and sales darling. Is beefy poor Batman better than a Wonder Woman raised in hell?!! And wait, what’s different about Flash now? And is it a good idea to read Absolute Martian Manhunter on drugs? (Spoiler A
The History of All Things Sonic Part 2
Sonic refused to be contained in one episode very much like how continually refuses to be counted out. Holden runs the boys through all his failed video game comebacks (Especially 06)and talks about how and why new generation hitched their hearts to the furry blue speedster that always comes back to new frontiers. Oh and we roast Shadow, cause why not, it’s Shadow.

The History of all things Sonic the Hedgehog Part 1
We try to go fast through the history of Sonic the Hedgehog but there's too many spikes of random information that pop up and get in our way. Our three egg men answer questions like how did Sonic come to be? How was he marketed differently? How does one character get two simultaneous bipolar cartoons? Why are his silly comics mired by years of lawsuits? We get knuckles deep in this one, covering e
The Sonic Knockoff Extravaganza!
To paraphrase Tony Montana: First you come up with a mascot, then you make the platformer game, then you make the money. Yes, with the advent that little blue meth/ring imbued hedgehog had dozens of game publishers thought to themselves: Hey, that looks easy, I could also do that. And so we had a swarm of Bubsys, Gexs, and acrobatic bats flood the shelves in the hopes your grandma couldn't tell th
The Sub Vs. Dub Anime Argument
It is the argument that has ended friendships, a debate that often leaves two people screaming at each other like Goku. But don't worry, we have a rather civilized discussion on the merits of both subtitled anime and dubbed anime. Jake explains how why the quality of dubbing has improved over the years and plays some pretty hilarious clips to show us just how many bumps along the road there were.
The Steven Q Urkel Effect
A whole episode on Steve Urkel? Yes we did do that. What happens when a one off guest star becomes the focus of a show and family no longer matters? What other examples are there of one character unexpectedly taking over an show?And just how did an audience full of frat bros and the promise of a Sega Genesis facilitate the birth of Urkel in the first place?Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

Our First and Final Fantasy Football Show with Trae Crowder
Holden talks us through the ins and other ins and more ins of fantasy football and while he lays down the history, comedian Trae Crowder talks about the personal satisfaction and fun of being in a fantasy football league for 20 years, and how glorious but also humiliating that can be. Lots of glory and humiliation in this one! Yes we talk sports, but more importantly how a bunch of nerds took spor
Spider-man and Marriage
Peter Parker and Mary Jane had one of the most storied romances in comic book history and they even got married until their love was bitten by a radioactive editorial mandate and it all went away. Mike takes Jake and Holden through the whirlwind history and screwy destruction of Spider-man’s marriage, the real life wedding they staged to promote it, and Paul. Yeah, we talk about Paul, but not too
The Art of Fighting Game Rosters
Get ready for a hundred hand slap of knowledge as Holden takes the lead and describes the mechanics and aesthetics that make a great fighting game roster. He lists all the different types of characters from zoners to grapplers to puppets, why some characters get banned from tournaments, and then he, Jake, and Mike all take turns coming up with the dream property they want to see a fighting game ba
Why is Avatar So Successful?
Avatar is the number one box office king of the world and yet it leaves no real cultural footprint despite being hella pretty to look at. You don't see cosplays, there aren't memorable quotes (unless angry hissing counts) and there's an almost naked boy named Spider that they reeeeeallly want to be a thing. Jake, flying in on a dragon connected to a braid in his hair flies in to defend the franch
2026 Predictions!!
Holden, Jake, and Mike try their best at predicting the future in the volatile world of nerdery. Will Avengers Doomsday just be financial Doomsday for Disney? Will GTA 6 close the door on open world games or be worth all the delays? Is this the year video game movies are finally as fun as the video games they're based on? And what anime has the chance to take the world by storm besides One Piece

What Makes a Great Christmas Movie
Yes, we're a little late for Christmas but that's because we were busy watching Michael Caine act his ass off in front of a bunch of Muppets.

And yes Die Hard gets it due because we're not having that argument and if you try we're throwing you off Na

The Rocky Road of Dwayne Johnson
The Rock was on top of the world for years but now he's making moves that have raised everyone else's eyebrows but his own. In the past few years he's tried to lay the smackdown on Vin Diesel, the DC universe, and...Christmas? What happens when a manly man becomes more of a brandy brand?

The Trial of Nintendo
Nintendo, the company we grew up with and loved for it's cute characters and intuitive gameplay will now tell you "Hey Nintendon't mod your system or we'll brick the damn thing". Has Nintendo gotten more litigious or is it baked into their DNA like mute protagonists and Italian Stereotypes?

An MCU Villains tier list
We ranked the MCU Avengers and you seemed to like that enough to fill us with enough delusions of grandeur to rank the colorful (often green or gray) bad guys of the MCU. We're talking everyone from Abomination to Zemo! Every character is beloved by someone which is the only way you can justify Jake sticking up for Kaecilius, Mike rewatching Iron Man 2 repeatedly to slobber all over Justin's Hamme
ACTION FIGURATIVELY SPEAKING
With the holiday season upon us it's time to talk about some of the toys that break us! Mike, the one of the three who has not resisted the temptation of plastic crack makes more than a few articulated points on what it's like to be a modern action figure collector, when it feels fun and when it just feels like an episode of My Strange Addiction. What's a Build a figure or an army builder? What m
Videogame Journalism Part 2: Elegic Boogaloo with Mike Drucker
Video game magazines came and then the internet delivered a killshot and dropped a giant bomb on video game journalism. Holden walks us through the journey of how it all started pure before the corporate overlords did the thing they do of taking over and firing lots of decent people, and where that leaves us now. Guest Mike Drucker (Author of Good Game, No Rematch) joins with his own personal pers

Remember when you’d spend your allowance on some grainy photos of Castlevania IV and trust a cartoon frog to tell you which console to buy? There were tips and also tricks in the same place!

And shockingly, which one is still being published today?!Want even more Ner
Batman's Bat God Crisis
How does a street level vigilante turn into a meme of a character that can do anything and beat anyone? It takes time, popularity, Grant Morrison, and casually sacrificing the rest of the DC universe (Some with just one punch!) to give us the omnipotent version of Batman that could beat anyone with some prep time and a trust fund. And who cares if some people balk at how OP ol' Brucie is, the sto
A Jaunt Through Various Haunts
We conclude spooky season (To be fair it's been a pretty damn spooky year) with a history of haunted house attractions. Holden takes us all the way back to when haunts started with Ancient Greece and through some Dark Ages, some not so Dark Ages, and the Great Depression when creepily yelling at people for fun started becoming the art form it is today! Then Jake talks about theme park horror attra

The History of Cheating in Video-Games
Aim lock yourself in a room and listen as Holden goes through the entire history of cheating in video games and discusses the different kinds of cheating that happen.
