Monday Sep 26, 2022

Episode 81: Whodunit Hackers!

Monday Sep 19, 2022

Monday Sep 19, 2022

  • The Geek Question of the Week was pretty simple and straightforward:  If you could design a theme park on your favorite fandom, what it be and what would some of the rides be? The fandoms chosen were not surprising. At all. LOL
  • In our Roll for Credits segment, we take a look at the 2014 German Hacker Thriller, Who Am I! Forget that it is German language only with subtitles. This movie was fantastic with a twist within a twist! Think Usual Suspects, Ocean's 11, Fight Club, with Euro-techno music! One of our favorites this year!
  • And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens. Lots of chickens.

Monday Sep 12, 2022

Monday Sep 12, 2022

  • Man, we chase a lot of chickens in this episode! We're kind of all over the place!
  • We start out talking about this year's DragonCon! So much fun, so many people, so many friends, with a few disappointments!
  • The Geek Question of the Week was pretty simple and straightforward:  If you could invite any three fictional characters to your bachelor party, who would they be and why? Connor of course thought of this one with the wedding one month away, but Sean ad-libbed some kind of answer that actually turned out not too bad.
  • In our Roll for Credits segment, we take a look at the 1983 Stephen King adaptation, The Dead Zone! How can you go wrong with Christopher Walken, Tom Skerritt, and Martin Sheen?! Well...
  • And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens. Lots of chickens.

Wednesday Aug 24, 2022

Wednesday Aug 24, 2022

  • The Geek Question of the Week was pretty simple and straightforward:  If you could go back in time and change one thing about a fandom you enjoy, what would you change and why? Connor goes more specific, Sean goes more general, but all good stuff!
  • In our Roll for Credits segment, we take a look at the 2020 action/comedy(?) The Paper Tigers! Um, take Grown Ups and Karate Kid, put them in a blender, and you have a nice Paper Tigers smoothie!

Episode 78: Get to Da Choppah!

Monday Aug 08, 2022

Monday Aug 08, 2022

  • The Geek Question of the Week was pretty simple and straightforward:  Name some fictional characters you would like to get caught in a one-on-one hunt with, and who would win? We kind of went back on forth on this one but came up with a  few good ones! 
  • In our Roll for Credits segment, we take a look at the 2022 prequel to the classic 80's action flick, Predator, Prey! We also spent a good amount of time talking about Arnie and the classic as well, if for no other reason than as a contrast to this fantastic movie!
  • Somehow, we talk about Sean's master's and doctoral research...  
  • And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens. Lots of chickens.

Episode 77: Monsters and Ghosts!

Tuesday Aug 02, 2022

Tuesday Aug 02, 2022

  • The Geek Question of the Week was pretty simple and straightforward:  Do you believe in the supernatural? Ok, well, that was pretty broad. See where we go with it. 
  • In our Roll for Credits segment, we take a look at the 2020 fantasy adventure movie straight outta China... Monster Run. I think it is like looking at the Dark Side of Pokemon, but Connor vehemently disagrees. Don't be dissin' on his balls!  
  • And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens. Lots of chickens.

Episode 76: Girls Just Wanna Have Gun!

Monday Jul 25, 2022

Monday Jul 25, 2022

  • The Geek Question of the Week:  If you could ‘TRON’ your way into any game you’ve ever played, what would it be, what would you want to accomplish, and why? It's amazing how much we overlap. The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree! 
  • In our Roll for Credits segment, we look at the female badass spy-driven action flick from earlier in the year, The 355. Connor was clearly more impressed than Sean was, but come take a listen...  
  • And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens.

Episode 75: Do Robots Dream?

Tuesday Jul 12, 2022

Tuesday Jul 12, 2022

  • Episode 75, with more chocolately goodness and a caramel center! Do Robots Dream?
  • Throwing out some love to the @worldsokayestDM, Dennis Robinson, for the release of his first comic, Lycan: Solomon's Odyssey!
  • We discuss Thor Love and Thunder and debate the current state of the MCU! In a word... inconsistent?
  • The Geek Question of the Week:  Name a comic hero you wish could get their own TV series or movie story arc? Some obscure and not-so-obscure stuff here! 
  • In our Roll for Credits segment, we talk about the dystopian future android mystery thriller, Zone 414. Interesting movie where they did too much in some areas and not enough in others! Check out our thoughts!  
  • And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens.

Episode 74: Live from the Sun!

Monday Jun 27, 2022

Monday Jun 27, 2022

  • Live from the surface of the sun, aka the attack studio with a crapped-out AC, it's Episoder74! The Geek Question of the Week:  If there was a theme park based on you and your life, what would be the gimmick, the mascot, and some of the main rides or attractions of your park? Not sure where we went with this, but Sean at least ended up down memory lane of serious injuries, band trips, and "Rick, you mean that's it?" 
  • In our Roll for Credits segment, we watch an alcoholic, divorced, stressed out father decompensate as he tries to solve a series of murders and figure out whether the culprit is a serial killer... or a werewolf... in the 2020 flick, The Wolf of Snow Hollow. Um, yeah.   
  • And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens.
