Hey! Its Erik Dumont going solo for this episode.

Tony Smela on for an interview to talk about his story of answering the call to the priesthood, as well as talking about our favorite subject: video games. He's got his own podcast too, so when you're done here, check out the Flint Catholic Podcast on Spotify as well as on Youtube.

Just another epic Catholic Nerds Lord of the Rings nerd-out. No big deal. Exceptwe were joined by Mr. Big Deal, himself, Bill Donaghy. Bill is the Senior Lecturer and Content Specialist of the Theology of the Body Institute (www.TOBinstitute.org), Co-Author of RISE (www.MenRiseUp.org), and Editor for STRIVE (www.STRIVE21.com).
Join us for a discussion on the beautiful sacramental quality of Tolkien's writings. Have you ever caught a glimpse of Middle-Earth out of the corner of your eye?Do you know what we mean? A glimpse of Heaven? The "gray-rain curtain" of this world thins for a moment, and you see the golden light of Heaven piercing the veil. Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich said that Eden was always just beyond her vision, but she caught a glimpse now and then. For Tolkien nerds like us, Middle-Earth will forever color our perception of Heaven.
BONUS: Our Top Pipeweeds of Middle-Earth (we're talking tobacco here, not that other stuff): Tolkien's and C. S. Lewis' Top Pipe Tobaccos.
Here is Bill's upcoming course on C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. 60 students have already registered! Reserve your spot now for November 5!
Check out Bill's Way of Wonder podcast on YouTube, under the TOB Institute YouTube channel. There are well over a dozen episodes so far!

Attention Parents!! Nerd out about the insane and insidious language of gender ideology and how to fight back!with Walt Heyer. Meet Walt, a living, breathing witness to the horrible wrongness of transgenderism. Walt lived for 8 years as a woman – Laura Jensen – despite the fact that he was a man. For the last 30 years since transitioning away from his persona of Laura, he has worked courageously to counter the transgender narrative that you can change genders. Walt received the 2022 Ruth Institute Witness of the Year Award for his work with individuals with gender incongruence.
You can't change your gender! ... only the language.Parents contact Walt for help all the time. Parents write him saying, "My son is transgender; he's transitioning; and he's got gender dysphoria." Walt answers, "He is not transgender; he isn't going to transition; and he doesn't have gender dysphoria. Let's find out what's really wrong." Walt doesn't use *their* language and when he stops using their language, he finds out what's actually wrong. 100% of the time.
Stay tuned for Walt's 3 Big Questions for people with gender confusion. #1: Why do you want to destroy who you are? #2 ... #3 ...

Arnold Culbreath on the Leading Cause of Death for Black America
Nerd out about pro-life issues with the C-Nerds and Pastor Arnold Culbreath of Peoples Church in Cincinnati, OH, the Director of Ministry Engagement of the Douglass Leadership Institute, whose Jeremiah 1:5 Projectis boldly converting and training black pastors to "reverse the curse" of Planned Parenthood and Margaret Sanger.
PLUS, Arnold is joined by his wife Barbara, who shares her amazing story with us. Rev. Culbreath cut his teeth in the Pro-Life movement working with the legendary Dr. Jack Wilke.
We talk about navigating post-RoeAmerica, the opportunities and continuing challenges.
Here are the super important stats and takeaways from this with Rev. and Mrs. Culbreath:
Abortion is the leading cause of death in the black community:Add up all the black deaths attributable to heart disease, violent crimes, accidents, diabetes, and cancer. The total does not exceed the black deaths attributable to abortion. We have aborted an entire nation's worth of black people: 19 million black people have been killed in abortion since Roe v. Wadeout of 63 million total. According to the US Census, there were only 18,871,831 black people in the USA in 1960. More blacks have been killed in abortion than the total population of black America in 1960. 79% of Planned Parenthood's surgical abortion facilities are located within walking distance of African American or Hispanic/Latino neighborhoods.

Let's also get philosophical and existential about Disney Plus and Disney, in general. Do Dave Filoni and Kevin Feige deserves Oscars or an Oscar Slap? Dang, we just promised, too.
The Catholic Nerds also review the Star Wars Animated Universe: Clone Warsand Rebels. How does this all fit into The Mandalorian, the story of Din Jarin? And how about Ming-Na Wen's Fenic Shand? Lastly ... what about that deep fake? Huh?
NOTE OF LITTLE NOTE: Scott was unable to join the C-Nerds for this episode, because - despite his abiding love for all things Star Wars (even the crud like the Star Wars Christmas not Holiday Special, being our first intro to Boba Fett btw) - Scott is committed to Exodus 90 and couldn't see the remaining Book of Boba Fettepisodes.

Are you ready to LIVE DIFFERENT?? The Catholic Nerds nerd-out about EXODUS 90 with a developer and author of Exodus 90, currently touring the country in the Exodus 90 tour bus ... Nathaniel Binversie! We go over the history and background of Exodus 90, how to reach men in their 20s and 30s using the "beer garden" approach and challenging men.
Who dreamt up this idea of cold showers? Nathaniel talks about the spiritual originator of Exodus 90, Fr. Brian Door, who developed the first list of disciplines as a formation program for seminarians. Fraternity: Nathaniel shares some Exodus 90 tie-ins with The Chosen show. Why Exodus? Why not the Babylonian Captivity? Or riding on Noah's Ark? Nathaniel describes why the Exodus of the Israelites is especially powerful and relevant for the liberation and purification of men in today's world. Where is the program going 3-5 years from now? From just the book, to the Exodus 90 App, to ... where? Nathaniel describes the 20 Spiritual Exercise programs that Exodus 90 has developed. And no ... the entire journey through salvation history does not require cold showers. Already done Exodus 90 multiple times? Nathaniel Binversie describes the new, 2nd version of Exodus 90 for veteran retreatants. Want to do Exodus 90 as father and son? Try the Truth of St. George program! Is Exodus 90 strictly for Catholics? Exodus 90 doesn't actually include the word "Catholic" anymore, so to present a unifying message to non-Catholics ... without compromising on authentic Catholic masculinity.

His also visited the Salesian Oratory of Saint Don Bosco. And ... if Nathaniel had a billboard to put anything on it, what would he put?

The Catholic Nerds do a deep dive into the Theology of Dune as they review the new Dune movie directed by Denis Villeneuve. SPOILERS AHEAD! We go through all the Christian symbolism of Dune, plus all our favorite parts from both the 2021Duneand 1984Dune-- all the 1980s goodness of the 80s Dune and all the good newness of the new Dune.
Scott wrote an article a while back on the Theology of Dune, all its Christian symbolism, and references to the Bible. It's now ranked #1 on Google and all the search engines on the subject, and Scott has expanded it into an entire book, The Theology of Sci-Fi: The Christian's Guide to the Galaxy, available where all good books are sold ;)
Here is a brief primer on all the references to Jesus and the Bible in Frank Herbert's Dune:
Of course, the Kwisatz Haderach, Muad'dib, Paul Atreides as Christ and Messiah; The Fremen desert dwellers as the Jews and Israelites; Baron Harkonnen as King Herod and Pharaoh; Lady Jessica as the Blessed Mother, the Sayadina/Sayyidain not just Catholicism, but Islam, as well (read more on that here); Shai Hulud and the Sandworms as Satan and the dragon/serpent of Genesis; AND did you know the Bible is actually in the Dune universe??ALL THAT, plus updates on our families surviving a Category-5 Hurricane and all our new babies! St. Gerard, pray for us!

It's Black Widow time! Serious SPOILER alert as the Catholic Nerds review the latest Marvel installment, at least until Scarlet Johansson's lawyers remove the movie from this timeline and multiverse. So, yes - we check in with the Scarlet vs. Disney lawsuit and how they might handle the release of Black Widow on Disney+ Premium. Then, the C-Nerds deal with interesting items, like who is our favorite member of the Romanoff family unit:
Is it David Harbour of Stranger Thingsawesomeness, the Red Guardian? Did he really fight Captain America? Is old Captain America really Stan Lee? Or is Momma Melina Vostokoff, played by Rachel Weisz, the Iron Maiden? What's more, the owner of a herd of kunekune pigs?? Then, there's the real star Yelena Belova, played by the always scene-stealing Florence Pugh? And don't forget that Easter egg scene at the end with Countess Valentina, played by the hysterically awesome Julia Louis-Dreyfuss! Did this directly set up Disney Plus’ stand-alone Hawkeye TV show, in which Florence Pugh will star alongside Jeremy Renner? Is it hinting at something more sinister, like Red Skull being behind Countess Valentina?? AND does the TVA from the Lokiseries really spell VAL, upside-down? OR, is it Black Widow, herself, Natasha Romanoff?Was Black Widow "just like Budapest all over again"? And how did Marvel do tying up all those references to Black Widow's past?

The Catholic Nerds dig into the crazy world that is ... Britney Spears!
Just when you thought the world couldn't get any weirder, this happened:
American pop star Britney Spears announced in a now-deleted Instagram post on Aug. 5 that she is Catholic and attends Mass. In a post made Thursday evening, Spears, 39, shared two videos. In one, she is seen posing in a pair of jean shorts and a sweater. In the second, she is shown twirling in a blue dress with flowers. In her caption, Spears said, “Pssss as for the next video … I just got back from mass … I’m Catholic now … let us pray 🙏🏼 !!!”
Also, Britney Spears' mother Lynne Spears, sister Jamie Lynn, and nieces Maddie Aldridge and Ivey Joan Watson, are all practicing Catholics. Jamie Lynn joined the Church fairly recently and also posted on Instagram about it. As a part of her since-removed 2018 year in review Instagram story highlight, Jamie Lynn posted a picture on her Instagram dated Feb. 18, 2018, captioned “pregnancy + RCIA. Worth it.” They were posing in that picture with OUR VERY OWN LOUISIANA BISHOP EMERITUS Bishop Robert Muench! What a crazy world.

The Catholic Nerds dive into the chaos of the "Motu Inapproprio", Pope Francis' new instruction on the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) and its possible effects. Pope Benedict XVI had given priests the option to celebrate the Latin Mass or Extraordinary Form (EF) of the Mass. Now, priests need their bishop’s permission, even if it’s an EF-hating bishop. Is Pope Francis attempting to foster unity by sowing division? Does that work?
Then, to turn their minds to happier, more gentle territory, the C-Nerds delve into the [SPOILERS] multiverse of madnessfrom awakened by Loki Season One. What's your favorite moment from Loki Season 1? We decide on our favorite Loki - is it Richard Grant's "Classic Loki", Croc Loki or "Croki", "President Loki", Loki Prime, or Sylvie Loki? We discuss Owen Wilson's Mobius and how time is described as a "Mobius strip" ... like Iron Man realized in Avengers: Endgame.
Did you notice all the crazy Easter Eggs in the intro to Loki Episode 6? There's a zoom out like in the sci-fi movie Contact; black holes expanding and contracting cycle (even though Stephen Hawking’s Big Crunch theory is widely panned now); Neil Armstrong, Greta Thurnberg (why??), Maya Angelou, and a random spaceship? Is it the X-Men's ship or the Fantastic Four's? And then that lovely quote from Vision: “What is grief, if not love persevering?”
To the comics! The C-Nerds compare Renslayer and He Who Remains to their comic equivalents, Ravonna Renslayer and Kang the Conqueror, respectively. Episode 6 shows us that Judge Renslayer was originally the principal of FDR high school in Ohio where her diploma reads “Rebecca Tourminet”, possibly a reference to her comic equivalent "Terminatrix". In the comics, Ravonna Renslayer was the daughter of King Carelius, a ruler in the 40th century Earth. The kingdom of Carelius was the last bastion of civilization unconquered by Kang the Conqueror in that time period. Also, where does Renslayer go when she leaves Mobius?
Who is He Who Remains? Is he Kang the Conqueror? How about that appleHe Who Remains was eating? Is this a reference to Genesis and Eden? Is He Who Remains the serpent or the dragon, tempting the new Adam and Eve of Time, Loki and Sylvie? Here's more on the serpent of Eden actually being a dragon. And what about the question of Free Will? The Catholic Nerds dive into all these theological nuggets!

Hello and welcome to the Catholic Nerds Podcast - your Maximoff source for quality, Catholic nerdery! The C-Nerds dig into all things WandaVision:
What will the WandaVision sequel be about? Plus, the Doctor Strange 2 sequel, 2022’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,and how Agatha Harkness connects all these, plus the Fantastic Four All the WandaVision commercials!Like the Nexus commercial - is Wanda the "Nexus of All Reality" from the comics? The Darkhold - In the comics, the Darkhold was created by the Elder God Chthon, who gave Wanda her powers through the Chaos Magic. Chthon has possessed Wanda multiple times, prompting her mentor, Agatha Harkness, to call a doctor for help. That doctor? ... DOCTOR STRANGE. All the Post-Credit Easter Eggs! (1) the Skrulls reveal and Monica Rambeau's strange new abilities, and (2) What’s Wanda up to next? Lounging in a cabin, levitating, and reading the Darkhold while hearing the voices of Billy and Tommy, calling out for help. Agatha Harkness -Is Agatha the connected to the upcoming Fantastic Fourmovie? Agatha was first introduced as the nanny to Reed and Sue Richards' kids and then became the mentor to the Scarlet Witch. And is her familiar ... Señor Scratchy- WandaVisiondirector Matt Shakman talks about a deleted scene where Señor Scratchy's identity as her familiar and possibly her son is (maybe) revealed. The Ship of Theseusknock-out, drag-out philosophy battle Fake Pietro orFietro!Was he really just Ralph Bohner all along, Agatha’s fake husband?Also, did you know the different episodes of WandaVision coincide with the stage of grief?
Kevin Smith said, “this show ultimately is about how important it is to find somebody to watch TV with in this world”
The C-Nerds also discuss which character, comic book or otherwise, has the best Best Rogue’s Gallery. Here is the crazy Superman villian we talked about: Mister Mxyzptlk.

Merry Christmasfrom the Catholic Nerds!
This will shed a whole new, beautiful “light” on Christmas and the Star of Bethlehem! As the “Great Conjunction” fills our night skies, the Catholic Nerds discover amazing prophecies of the Star of Bethlehem in the Old Testament. The Star of Bethlehem is the prophesied return of the Shekinah, the Glory Cloud, that “overshadowed” the Ark of the Covenant. And the Virgin Mary is the New Ark who carries the New Manna in her womb. The Star of Bethlehem “overshadows” the Holy Family as they travel to Bethlehem, guides the shepherds and Wise Men to the Nativity, and even explains why Mary rides a donkey!
Here is Scott's article explaining all the typology and hidden mysteries of the Star of Bethlehem, and how it all points to the New Ark - check it out!
Plus, here is more on Mary as the New Ark of the Covenant and all the references to the New Ark at the Visitation.
Mary is not just the New Ark of Moses - she is also the NEW ARK OF NOAH. Check out how this connects to Adam's skull being the Skull of Golgotha and Mt. Calvary, too.

Cal Dodd takes us deep into Wolverine's character, including his favorite episode, when Wolverine is converted by Nightcrawler’s Catholicism.

What more do you need to believe in God's power? The Catholic Nerds tackle the raw, miraculous power of God displayed in the Shroud of Turin, Jesus’ own burial cloth and possibly even the tablecloth from the Last Supper. What kind of evidence do you want? We got it. Non-believer Bob says it’s a painting. Then why does it render as a 3D image, unlike every painting ever? Non-believer Bob says it’s a medieval forgery? Then why does radiocarbon dating date it to the First Century? If a medieval dude could forge it, then why -- with all our modern technology -- can’t we come close? All the lasers now existing in the world, working together, couldn’t re-create the Shroud. Only the power of God! Not just that, the pollen and weave put it in uniquely in First Century Palestine. Non-believer Bob says ‘okay, but that could be anybody’s burial cloth’.

Sat, 01 Aug 2020 - 1h 11min - 17 - Episode 14: Best Virus Pandemic Movies with Father Brent
The Catholic Nerds are going viral! Not to make light of such a dire subject as the current pandemic, the C-Nerds are reviewing our favorite virus pandemic, non-zombie movies. Not talking about zombies, as you will hear, is hard for us, though. We were also joined by the very amazing, Father Brent Maher of St. Anne’s in Morganza. Also, now introducing … Catholic Nerds Trivia!!! With fabulous prize awarded, intermittently and inconsistently, and also sufficiently over-branded. Though for some inextricable reason, we never talked about Stephen King’s The Stand and The Seventh Seal, the C-Nerds (pronounced “Capital C Nerds) performed death-defying deep dives into I Am Legend and its predecessors Last Man on Earth with Vincent Price and Omega Man with Charleston (Charleton?) Heston; plus Contagion and all its weird, uncanny premonitions into the corona-virus pandemic; 12 Monkeys and The Andromeda Strain; and, regrettably, Sharknado. We investigated all the origins of these fictional viruses, like Maze Runner’s Flare, I Am Legend’s Krippin virus, and 28 Days Later’s Rage virus. We also checked in with Father Brent - “Padre” - about parish and priest life in the midst of the pandemic, plus the Divine Mercy Novena and upcoming Novena to the Holy Spirit. We also asked Padre to digitally bless things and us. Cody and Mary, who just had a home birth during the pandemic (!!!), shared their new GoFundMe for women who lack the insurance coverage to have a home birth and are wary of going to the hospital right now: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-access-to-safe-births-during-covid-crisis Plus, Scott showed us his and his wife’s newly published Catholic Prayer Journal for Women: Pray, Hope, and Don’t Worry available here: https://amzn.to/350hMdw And here’s the generically Christian version, too: https://amzn.to/352kJKz Do you want to bedeck yourself in your #1 galactic source for quality Catholic nerdery?

The Catholic Nerds welcome special guest, Erik Dumont! Check out Erik’s YouTube channel “Press C to Start” (full link below) where he reviews video games from a Catholic perspective, as well as game play. Follow him on Twitter @RPGCatholic. Erik is basically the Stephen Graydanus of video games :) Grab your controller! It’s time for the Catholic theology of video games … The Catholic Nerds rank, more or less, the greatest video games of all time. Also … the theology of The Legend of Zelda. Did you know the Book of Magic was originally called the Bible by Nintendo? And more! Also, the BEST Catholic reference in video games ever … Plus, deep dives into Resident Evil movies and video games; Red vs. Blue, the Halo series; Daft Punk’s Tron: Legacy soundtrack; The Mandalorian & Baby Yoda’s extreme cuteness; plus Nintendo, Mario RPG, the zombie fungus apocalypse of The Last of Us, and Wolverine’s Catholic moment … which might be a bit of foreshadowing in the Catholic Nerds universe ;) Also … best news! Olivia Rene Dumont, Erik’s daughter, is doing great! Check out Erik’s game reviews, including an upcoming review of the Stardew Valley game … avoid that witch with the dark shrines! Here’s Erik’s YouTube channel “Press C to Start”: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvtV7MfVyrLqjREdiTe5KKw I promised a link to the official Zelda timeline, which I think is this one: https://www.zelda.com/about/.

[This episode was reloaded due to sound issues] The Catholic Nerds nerd out on the greatest thing in the world … Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. According to a recent Pew survey, only 26% of Catholics believe in the Real Presence. That’s really, really bad, so the Catholic world freaked out a bit recently. Here’s a recent National Catholic Register article about that: http://www.ncregister.com/blog/msgr-pope/what-should-we-do-about-the-loss-of-belief-in-the-real-presence So, here’s all the coolest stuff we know about the Real Presence. We start with Flannery O’Connor’s awesome quote on the Real Presence. Then, we go through the Bread of Life Sermon in John 6, as well as some great quotes from the Church Fathers, like St. Justin Martyr and St. Ignatius of Antioch. Here’s an article from my blog if you want the text of a lot of these quotes and deep dives into the Greek used in the Gospel: https://www.thescottsmithblog.com/2013/04/warning-you-may-turn-catholic-if-you.html Also, join us for Part Deux, when we’ll go through all the most amazing Eucharistic miracles, including a new one … captured on video! … where the host turns to heart tissue and actually starts beating!!

The Nerds have lots of Star Wars news to process: The Rise of Skywalker trailer, the new Star Wars trilogy by Game of Thrones’ Benioff and Weiss, the death of Peter Mayhew, who played Chewie, and pro-abortion J. J. Abrams contributing his “Lovecraft Country” profits to fight Georgia’s “Heartbeat” Law.
Is Chewbacca finally going to get his medal? How will Emperor Palpatine come back and is Matt Smith playing him? Will Benioff and Weiss give us the Game of Thrones Star Wars via the Knights of the Old Republic? Will Benioff and Weiss survive Season 8 of Game of Thrones? Are they any good without solid source material (or even with it? See Benioff’s butchering of X-Men Origins: Wolverine … ouch)? Also, how about the trailer for the Mandalorian series? With J. J.

And by the way, did you know the myth of Thor was based on Jesus? Yes, that’s right. Jesus, not Captain America, was the original Avenger … or something like that. Here’s Scott’s full article on “Is Thor Jesus?”
Though we mostly try to forget the Hulk movies, the nerd-out covers all of Phase One of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU): Iron Man (2008), The Incredible Hulk (2008), Iron Man 2 (2010), Thor (2011), Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), and Marvel's The Avengers (2012).

Unplanned! The Catholic Nerds have an epic, Fezzik-sized nerd out about the NEW pro-life movie Unplanned with Doug Johnson, or as he calls himself, Mr. Abby Johnson. Doug shares all the best behind-the-scenes details about Unplanned. There’s the R-rating. The cameos of Lila Rose and Mike Lindell, the MyPillow guy and clutch super-donor, AND former abortionist, Dr. Levatino, who was brought out of the abortion industry through Abby’s amazing organization, And Then There Were None (ATTWN).
How much more awesome Doug is than Abby’s first husband, who had a hive of bees living in his car??
AND you CANNOT miss the amazing Holy Spirit moment shared by Abby Johnson and Ashley Bratcher, who played Abby in Unplanned.
Oh, but there’s more! The Catholic Nerds and Doug follow an treasure map to 80’s gold. There is a Goonies, Sean Astin, Stranger Things, Lord of the Rings, Rudy nerd out, as well. Not to mention, there’s a CN-exclusive update to Doug’s ranking of the Marvel cinematic universe. The Star Lord, Chris Pratt, himself, makes several appearance, as well, as we all fellin’ in the pit of Parks and Recreation, Jurassic World, and Guardians of the Galaxy. Ah!

The Catholic Nerds interview Zac “still the cutest gif ever” Mabry, a Catholic convert and child actor best remembered as Porky from The Little Rascals. Mabry, who hosts the Roman Circus Podcast (see below), talks about the moment that changed his life forever … the moment he was bitten by a radioactive Catholic spider in the catacombs of the Vatican necropolis ... or something like that.
Beware the giant rolling boulder and the Nazis - I hate these guys - and journey with the Catholic Nerds beneath St. Peter’s to the lost tomb of St. Peter, the Scavi tour. The Catholic crusade continues as the Nerds visit Mexico City, the Aztec Temples of Doom, and the woman who doomed them, Our Lady of Guadalupe.
“Whatcha Reading?” includes The Fisherman’s Tomb, The Graveyard Book, The Walking Dead, Spe Salve, article stalking of Zac Mabry, The Papal Monarchy, The Hungry, Hungry Caterpillar, Scott Hahn’s Understanding Our Father, and other completely homogenous topics. Oh, and there was hushed talk of ... Masons! They did not survive the Nerds’ Last Crusade. They chose poorly.

Face front, true believers! How should purity, chastity, masculinity and femininity, virtue and responsibility be taught to young people? And what about stuff? Why do we accumulate so much stuff - some Catholic Financial Advisor tips - and so little that actually means much? How do you tidy up the Catholic way? How do Catholic families limit the stuff, the crazy amounts of toys, to give them the gift of order? And how about Disney personifying and anthropomorphizing toys all the time?
