On this week's episode, we made a new friend! An honest-to-goodness TV and movie star! This week, we talk to Mike Nardelli, who is the producer, writer and star of The Tribe, a short film currently making the rounds at the film festivals. Also his new short comedy film "We'll get it" also making the rounds at all the festivals.

He graciously agreed to talk to your humble nerd hosts about his body of work instead of partying the night away in LA. (actually, since it would be afternoon in LA when we recorded, I guess he could still party the night away). One of his films, Dennis Doesn't Live Here Anymore, was inspired by the Dennis the Menace comic strip, so to be helpful,we pitched him some Ideas based on other comic strips!

We all discuss the new Star Wars: Rouge One trailer and how excited it makes all of us. Mike establishes his nerd cred with a brief discussion of sci-fi films, and another week means another quiz. Can Mike prove he's not just another pretty face? Tune in and find out on this week's episode of When Nerds Collide!
