Interview with Tanvier Peart: One Knight’s Stand Tanvier Peart talks about her rugby romance One Knight's Stand, the first in the Buffalo Steele rugby romance series, and nerdy female MCs, thick thighs, and why friends to lovers is not her jam.

Marvel’s Wonder Man was more than just a superhero show. In fact, it was more of a buddy comedy that will have you thinking about the HBO ‘00s hit Entourage more than about a man with super powers. Watch our review and rating of the show on YouTube or listen wherever you get Nerdy Romantics Podcast.

Wondered by Wonder Man, show review, pt.1 Y. M. Nelson is joined by Marcie and Staci and Perry (via email) in this discussion about the Marvel series Wonder Man. This show surprised us just as the movie Thunderbolts* did - in a good way - by making this a drama with people with powers in it versus a superhero show. Listen to what else we have to say about this surprising show. This review, like every other one we do, has SPOILERS. Topics Discussed (Click to jump to transcript's section) : First impressions/how we found out about this show…

We didn't know anything about this Marvel character going in, nor did we know about the series. But we were filled with wonder (I know, bad pun) at this highly entertaining series. Hear what we have to say about this great show.
