The Wake Up, Nerds! Murder Mysteries, Movie Madness & Bathroom Etiquette Episode

Another fun-filled episode of Nerds Talking! is here, and Lafayette and Carlos are back behind the mic bringing the perfect mix of pop culture, laughs, and nerdy debates.

This week, the crew dives deep into the latest entertainment news, kicking things off with a spoiler-light review of Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, the highly anticipated third installment in Rian Johnson’s hit murder-mystery franchise. With Daniel Craig returning as the unforgettable Benoit Blanc, the film delivers an eerie, brain-twisting case involving a seemingly impossible murder at a church in upstate New York. The discussion highlights standout performances from a stacked ensemble cast including Josh O’Connor, Glenn Close, Mila Kunis, Josh Brolin, and more, as well as how this chapter compares to the previous Knives Out films and what it adds to the evolving legacy of the series.

But it wouldn’t be Nerds Talking without going delightfully off the rails. The conversation takes a hilarious (and surprisingly important) turn as the fellas tackle a real-world question that should have an obvious answer: Do you wash your hands after using the urinal? Spoiler alert—you absolutely should, and the crew explains why, with plenty of humor and zero shame.

From murder mysteries and movie magic to life lessons you didn’t know you needed, this episode is packed with laughs, memories, and sharp nerdy insights. Tune in, turn it up, and let Lafayette and Carlos put a smile on your face. You won’t want to miss it!
