I had a blast talking with @mandymiscast.bsky.social on Make Me a Nerd about my favorite movie 🎬 of all time, Terry Gilliam's Brazil. Such a great conversation. Thanks for having me on, Mandy! 📽️

I'm beyond flattered. The amazing Mandy Kaplan described me on Instagram (mandy_kaplan_klevens) as "the ultimate nerducator." Listen to our conversation and you'll see how getting onto #MakeMeANerd is a very smart move.
#TheNerducator - I mut get that on a sweatshirt.

"Helen McCarthy is the author of the first English-language books on Japanese animation and on Hayao Miyazaki — which is to say, she was there taking manga seriously before the rest of the English-speaking world had even formed an opinion about it." Thanks, #MandyKaplan

@mandymiscast.bsky.social I just edited your #alienearth episode for #MakeMeANerd. You think you’re squirming now… there’s an “environment” in the Disney Plus app for the VisionPro (headset) in which you can watch the show IN THE DARK OOZY LAB SET from the show. It’s deeeeeeeply unsettling.

One of my favorite episodes of #MakeMeANerd so far. @mandymiscast.bsky.social and the Exorcist guys make a fantastic and charming trio.

For the 4th of 5th time, I was a guest on my pal Mandy Kaplan Klavens's podcast Make Me A Nerd. This time, we discuss one of my fave films BATTLE ROYALE. Did she like? Would she be a murderous teen? Do I berate her for watching the English dub. Check it!
