It's been a year and a few days since the last episode, but I had to do something in memoriam to the legend Stan Lee.     Like 3CN: https://www.facebook.com/3rdCoastNerds Follow 3CN: https://twitter.com/3rdCoastNerds Music by: www.bensound.com

It took a few weeks, but we're back, and we're here to talk about Wonder Woman.  You're safe...we start off with talk about Adam West, Batman, the shows that made our weekdays in the summer, and finally, some non-spoiler Wonder Woman talk before we get into the spoilers about the film.  Enjoy!

Over 100 served.  We're still recovering from Comicpalooza.  Kyle is drunk on 3D printer power.  We review some of our takeaways from the convention, Neal talks about a couple of new games he's played, and Kyle and I go off the deep end of all of our maker wants.  That, and all the bad jokes you're used to for this special-but-still-pretty-normal episode!!

Net neutrality has become a hot-button topic again, and in an effort to try to dissect the issue, I've invited Chris and Trevor to discuss as many sides as we can to try to understand what net neutrality is, what the FCC is attempting to do about it, and what we as consumers should do to help shape legislation and rulings that regulate how the internet works.

International tabletop day is upon us.  John and Chad discuss scalable games...meaning, games that are designed to accommodate more than the standard 4-6 player arrangement that most games conform to.  We also get into the benefits of heading out to a game shop on tabletop day.   Like 3CN: https://www.facebook.com/3rdCoastNerds Follow 3CN: https://twitter.com/3rdCoastNerds Music by: www.bensound.com

This episode was off the rails from the start. We apologize for nothing...hashtag woke up like this...hashtag the good parts are at the end. We briefly discuss self-driving race cars, NASA's announcement this week, and a new....human glue thing. Near the end of the show we talk maker stuff, 3D printing, and using our advanced nerding to make things better. All that and horrible, horrible jokes that will offend many!

DISCLAIMER: If you're easily butthurt, you should probably skip this episode. Then again, you guys seem like good peeps...you've withstood us bashing George Lucas before. Chad sits down with a former lobbyist, a software developer, a child psychologist and educator, and Mills...you know him. We talk about a few of the positives and negatives from the first 30 days of the Trump administration. The show was so YUGE it had to be split into two parts. In part two, we talk education, Betsy DeVos, and what is lacking in special needs education. Like 3CN: https://www.facebook.com/3rdCoastNerds Follow 3CN: https://twitter.com/3rdCoastNerds
