DJ Ben Hameen Changed my perspective, still want y'all to review the penguin but overall if the election is the most important thing right now, I respect it.

I absolutely love this podcast

This podcast is my nerd safe space.

Trigger warning…

Anyone asking for trigger warnings for shows nowadays, particularly shows about infected/zombie creatures, are too weak to be commenting on said shows. Pathetic. One star. Not worth a listen.

Love it

This middle aged white man discovered this show about a week ago and I love it- the banter, depth of knowledge of the source material, and perspective makes this a must listen. I will enjoy the back catalog

The best PERIODT.

Been listening for years since Chico Leo and they’ve always delivered the best reviews! Love ya’ll and what you do for the black nerd community!

Quality and Entertaining Analyses

These guys make literary analyses cool! Their breakdowns are intricate and insightful, particularly when they discuss issues involving race that many white “nerds” just don’t do. I also enjoy they have one comic expert and one host who is learning comic lore along with me.

Essential Listening for all MCU fans

Their recaps and reviews are absolutely top notch.
Logorfin

Absolute Must Listen

I got 1/2 way through the Recast T’Challa episode and knew this podcast was the one I’ve been missing. This has everything! Such an amazing crew and conversations with disagreements and deference! A+.
JaneTiffany

Great

Listening to this podcast increased my love of all things comic. And the conversation is so good. It always makes me think. And they have the best show recaps/reviews. The details and research are epic.

Won't stop talking about prison, we get it geez

I think one of the hosts went to prison for a while and it really impacted them, I'm not sure but it comes up about 1 millions times per episode so I think it happened, maybe. It was interesting to hear that perspective at first but now every episode this guy won't stop talking about it. He even had the nerve to compare it to Loki's prison sentence, good god! Stop! It wasn't even that long, find something else to talk about and its even worse that he constantly interrupts people to bring it up even more! Is this guy serious?!

A sunny spot in my week

You all make my podcast week consistently! Keep up the good work

I enjoy the podcast but...

I like the podcast but I am getting so frustrated with the hosts talking about service members. Neither of them are speaking from a place of personal experience and as black woman who is also a veteran of the US NAVY I find a lot of what being said very offensive. Instead of speculating on why people join the service and/or what the experience is like I would much rather have the hosts invite a service member on the show to have these conversations. For example I don't pretend to know what it is like to serve in prison so I would never speak to that experience....They conflate many issues when trying to discuss themes of the falcon and winter soldier and they continue to double and triple down on these ideas. Please do better.

Great general nerd podcast, VERY GOOD commentary

This is a generally great show - quality nerd content, great interviews, various useful news segments - but where it become absolutely essential listening for me is the TV commentary (these episodes helpfully have different titles to find them more easily in the feed - latest one is Views From The 616 for all the Phase 4 MCU TV shows). Really good stuff!

Yaaaaaasssssss!!!

This is everything I need. What took me so long to start listening?

Needs tighter edits

The titles of these episodes had me saying “this is going to be my new podcast binge” but I wish they’d do tighter edits in post-production. I’m not a huge fan of banter at the beginning of a podcast in the first place, but the whole thing could be a lot tighter and 10-15 min shorter if they just polished it up a bit. The guy also made a joke in the episode I listened to that a lot of people complained he had used the wrong name for a character...and in the same episode he said “William” Defoe and “Sam” Bean. She was definitely saying Willem, so why not just hit pause for a sec and tell him he’s saying it wrong? I want to love this and I still gave it 4 stars because I believe they can make it something perfect.

A Fave Of Mine

I found this podcast while watching Lovecraft Country and wanting more in-depth conversation about it. Enjoyed their take on things and continued to tune in. Welp here comes the special episode released today about WW84 and this is where I can say I have fallen in love with them!

For All Nerds is so good it makes me impatient with other nerdy podcasts. Their streams on Twitch are fantastic, too. Love 'em.

Literally Laughing Out Loud!

I am SO glad that someone in the Lovecraft Country Face Book Group recommended this podcast! I listened to the HBO Lovecraft Radio podcast (and enjoyed it a lot) and then started listening to this one. There were so many times I had to rewind because I was laughing so hard! The hosts are intelligent, insightful... just so, so smart! I love that you treated the subject matter with such respect and reverence, researching everything and sharing with the listeners. It was a pleasure listening and I am a very happy new subscriber. Many, many thanks!

Officially a Fan

I recently went on search for all things Lovecraft Country and found For All Nerds. Their Lovecraft Country review is the best! I love how they point out the differences between the tv series and the book. Their perspectives on each episodes gives me so much more to think about. Because of them I’m planning to read book after the finale episode. I’m officially a For All Nerds fan!

Great conversation and Reviews

But I do wish they would timestamp sections of the show.
omniosi

Must-listen cast!!!

I am sharing this podcast with all my friends, especially since they started the “Safe Negroes” “Lovecraft Country” review series. Love the nerdy AKAs and the truth telling. Still chewing on the Yoda episode with Young Guru! A happy subscriber. HU!

Best Podcast

This is the best podcast when it comes to anything geek/nerd related

A Much Needed Perspective

If you want to understand this show, just listen to their recent episode: John Boyega Appreciation Day (May 28). For All Nerds offers a much needed perspective on nerd culture, exploring both the delicious nerdery we geeks always enjoy AND the issues of the modern world. After all, they're not separate. The hosts are insightful and powerful, funny and dedicated. In other words: this show is fantastic, and you should be listening.

💯

Been a loyal listener since the very first episode. Very informative, funny and great interviews. #comicsicopped has put me on to some of my now favorite books thru the years. Keep up the good work!
Masterpiece.

Love this podcast!

As a gay, black, nerd I’ve always felt like an outcast but For All Nerds just gets me. It really is for ALL nerds. Whether it’s anime, video games, movies, superheroes, and even music... They got you. Definitely recommend.

A Fresh Perspective

This podcast has been A1 since day 1 with the fresh views on all of pop culture. If you like comics or shows or movies and people of color then this is the podcast for you!
AddMant

Y’all are legit an inspiration

My first episode of FAN was the Get Out review/interview with Allison Williams and I was hooked ever since. And now y’all are going to SXSW. That’s huge. (Also I really miss Slam Bros)
KrisBear22

Highlight of my week!

Love hearing these guys discuss ideas that appeal and apply to me as a WOC as well as catching up on nerd news.

A humorous and insightful podcast

DJ Benhameen & Tatiana King always speak frankly and candidly about comics, movies and sometimes music sharing quotable insights. Their mix of humor and intelligence makes this podcast a great listen for anyone.

Five Out Five Racks

Great show. Great hosts. Great interviews. Very original and honest content.
Geterman78

Entertaining but questionable

The podcast can be entertaining but they don’t do research on topics before the speak on it. They often spout off inaccurate information. They seem to know of geek stuff but don’t know much about geek stuff. They come off as very casual fans of the culture and not at all deep in it. Again, they are good for a laugh here and there but don’t to gain any knowledge on geek culture. You’ll often find yourself correcting them.

Simply the Best

For All Nerds is an incredible podcast, as are all of the podcasts under their umbrella (Castle Black Pod, Outlaw Barz, etc). The hosts’- DJ Benhameen and Tatiana King Jones- friendship and chemistry with one another is the backbone of the show and, folks, the love they feel and exude has gotten me through a lot of tough times. Their perspectives as PoC provide crucial and much needed voices to nerd fandom. I’ve laughed with and learned more from this show than any other podcast I listen to. Do yourself a favor and subscribe. From the top notch, grade-A interviews (going back years!), to the banter between old friends there is so much to love. This podcast is a true gem.

#podcastsicopped

After becoming a listener during the castle black era, I’m so happy to say I found this podcast. The chemistry between Ben, Tatiana, Porshea, their great guests, it’s what binds the show together. Not to mention they’re hilarious and talk indiscriminately about all things nerdy

50th ep

I love OutlawBarz, I couldn't be more happy that they are still around giving us their opinions on anime with their whole chest.

💙💙

I’ve been listening for a while now. LOVE the commentary, the interviews, the comics recommendations, and everything else! I’m a big fantasy nerd who loved watching cartoons and movies based on comic book characters. As I got older, I really wanted to read more comic books. Other than reading Watchmen in high school, I didn’t read many comics as a young one. I didn’t know where to start. I always felt too behind. The Comics I Copped segment and the interviews have helped quite a bit with that. (Just picked up WickDiv volume 1. Can’t wait to start.) Keep it up!

The best around

I have loved this podcast for a couple years now and it never fails to deliver with great interviews; honest discussions and great recommendations. The hosts are great people and I'm so glad they exist.

This show is the highlight of my week. Every episode I get enlightened and inspired. I’ll so appreciative of all the knowledge that is dropped, the takes on geek and pop culture, and love all the comic recommendations. I’ve definitely added to my collection because of #comicsicopped!!!!!! Dream those dreams Rest In Power Combat jack.

Tatiana and DJ Ben Hameen (hope I spelled that right) are great as ever and authentic always. Not only do I love their content but I like that they take the time to address any issues they think need clarifying for the masses. Just love their authenticity. Keep dong geat work.
