Episode 132 - Dungeon Crawler Carl RPG Rules, Gundam Assemble, Vision Quest Ep 7
In Episode 132, the Frantic Nerdcast crew kick things off with some channel news: nearly 1,000 videos on YouTube, TikTok finally behaving, and the first Vault X packs arriving. Then it’s straight into tabletop territory. We look at the Dungeon Crawler Carl RPG, including its mob-first combat, simultaneous player actions, hotbars, split health bars and grinding system, plus the frustrations of the Godzilla RPG’s app-only digital rulebook and a first look at the Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition starter set. From there we cover a Pokémon gambling scheme in America, Pokémon cards in McDonald’s Australia Happy Meals, prerelease tournaments, and how much easier modern Pokémon games are to level up in. We also share our thoughts on the Palworld TCG. In TV and film, we go deep on Vision Quest Episode 7 (spoilers ahead), chat Dragon Ball Super, and recommend the Australian reality show Unskilled Adult and the behind-the-scenes drama Unreal. We finish with Gundam Assemble, Bandai’s skirmish miniatures game with its clever timeline system, great value starter sets and easy-to-paint minis. We also shout out Wartide, Monsters at War and Vault X (use code FRANTIC). Find us on Instagram at @FranticNerdcast, and subscribe on YouTube for gameplay and Tuesday episodes.

Episode 131 - Our Mount Rushmore of TV Sitcoms! Scrubs, Community, South Park & More
In Episode 131 the crew picks their Mount Rushmore of TV sitcoms, and the arguments start fast. Scrubs, Blackadder, Big Bang Theory, Community, South Park, Schitt’s Creek, Frasier and Will & Grace all get a look, plus plenty of honourable mentions. Along the way they work out which classics have aged badly and who gets a face on the mountain. Before that, they cover the Cancer Council Longest Day golf fundraiser (72 holes in one day) and recommend Miracle Workers, the Daniel Radcliffe and Steve Buscemi anthology comedy. Later they dive into the Fourth Wing books, with dragons, obvious plot twists and one very bad audiobook mistake. They also cover the new Black Clover season and League of Legends Worlds, including some sad news from the LoL community.
