I don’t think I ever posted about this once they made the videos free……

In May 2020, Marc Bernardin (Tricia Helfer’s BATTLESTAR GALACTICAST co-host) created The Plague Nerdalogues which was a “compilation of fan-favorite actors reenacting classic geek scenes from film and television, all for charity”. A minimum donation of $10 got you access to watch all of the videos. For the first wave of videos the donations went to No Kid Hungry. For the second wave, the donations went to Black Lives Matter. After raising more than $66,000 in total, the videos were made free to access in July 2020.

For his video Aaron did the Narrator from The Road Warrior (aka ‘Mad Max 2’) but with a BSG twist. I won’t spoil it, you’ll have to watch it 😃

Over the weekend, http://theplaguenerdalogues.com crossed the $50,000 mark in donations for #BlackLivesMatter. Which just about made me cry. With that milestone reached, I’m dropping donation paywall and the making all the nerd monologues free for everyone to see. We’ve done what we set out to do: Use our love for nerd storytelling to raise money to benefit those who need it. First, @nokidhungry (for whom we raised $16,000), and now #BlackLivesMatter. The plan was always to make ’em free, so now they are. http://theplaguenerdalogues.com

 

THE PLAGUE NERDALOGUES
Your favorite genre actors. Performing the greatest speeches from genre films and TV. All to benefit Black Lives Matter.

The Plague Nerdalogues began in May 2020 as a way for actors of all stripes to flex their geek muscles during a specific moment in time: The two-pronged assault on the status quo by the coronavirus and the uprising against systemic racism. Those performances — nerd actors doing monologues from beloved nerd media — were used to raise money, first for No Kid Hungry, then for Black Lives Matter.

The intent was always to make these monologues available to the public, free of charge, after a certain amount of time … and so we are.

If you are so moved, feel free to donate to Black Lives Matter, but it is not necessary.

Enjoy.

A new video series will feature actors from the nerdosphere — including Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica), Jonathan Frakes (Star Trek), Phil LaMarr (Samurai Jack) and Brea Grant (Heroes) — performing beloved monologues from the past to benefit No Kid Hungry.

Aptly named The Plague Nerdalogues, the series is a compilation of fan-favorite actors reenacting classic geek scenes from film and television, all for charity. For example, Frakes will take on the role of Captain Kirk, Helfer will perform as Bill from “Kill Bill” and Lamarr as Samurai Jack doing Inigo Montoya from “The Princess Bride.”

Other actors on the roster include Cameron Cuffe, David Dastmalchian, Azita Ghanizada, Todd Stashwick, Rob Benedict, Yuri Lowenthal, Rekha Sharma, Tiffany Smith and Damion Poitier.

The “Nerdalogues” will be uploaded to http://theplaguenerdalogues.com and available for a minimum $10 donation to No Kid Hungry. Once a donation has been made, viewers will receive a password that unlocks unlimited access to the platform as more video submissions continue to be posted.
