French Friday: "Nerdfest 2024"

David French has finally watched Rings of Power season two—and he and Skye don’t quite have the same feelings about it. They compare it to House of the Dragon’s more cynical fantasy world—and why Dune is maybe closer to Tolkien than Martin. They also talk about the Penguin crime drama series, the upcoming Superman movie, and Silo.   0:00 - Theme Song   0:18 - Show Begins   1:16 - David’s Take on Rings of Power   5:40 - Skye’s Beef with Rings of Power   13:20 - House of the Dragon   21:52 - World War I   26:45 -  Sponsor - Hiya Health - Go to https://www.hiyahealth.com/CURIOUSLY to receive 50% off your first order   27:50 - Sponsor - Go to https://www.fromourplace.com and use code CURIOUSLY to get 10% off site wide on beautiful cookware!   28:57 - Dune   34:55 - Dark Matter   37:28 - Penguin   41:04 - Looking Forward to Superman   48:56 - End Credits
