Merry Christmas everyone! Treat yourself this festive season with the epic vodcasting event of the week, MoDXtra!

Chris & Andy return with more nerd-y chat: talking about the Movies, TV, games and comic books that keep these two man-children entertained.There’s been much to talk about from the Nerd-lives of these overgrown man-children from the past two weeks. Find out what the lads have been watching & playing to pass the lockdown hours away and avoid adulting as much as possible. Also – the latest Chris moan-y rant, this time about Cinemas.

We start the main segments in this episode with Chris’ “Comic Book Corner”. Chris has challenged Andy to read Warren Ellis/John Cassady’s series “The Planetary”. How will this hyper-meta series land with the comic book novice that is Andy? Listen to find out.

Then it’s over to Andy’s Retro Corner, where we get all festive with the Christmas movie of all Christmas movies: Die Hard. We have a good natter sharing our observations from the re-watch of this classic 80’s action spectacular.

It’s been compared to a book club – with no novels and exclusively for nerds – and we’re OK with that! Why not join in and share the re-watch & re-read with us?

We wrap up with a look over the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as we rank our top 3 MCU flicks and chat over the reasons for our choices. Do we like the same MCU films, or do we have different tastes when it comes to this behemoth of a cinematic franchise.

All this and so much more.
