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.

Episode 73: Goosfraba!

Tuesday Jun 21, 2022

Tuesday Jun 21, 2022

  • The Geek Question of the Week took a more serious turn this week: In engineering and scientific research, which do you think should be a first priority: military application or civilian comfort? A decidedly more in-depth conversation happened, though we did manage to get in references to Terminator, Matrix, and Wall-E...LOL 
  • In our Roll for Credits segment, we get in touch with our anger in the 2003 Adam Sandler/Jack Nicholson comedy, Anger Management. Cameos and supporting cast for the win! 
  • And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens.

Episode 72: We’re BAAAACK!!!!!

Tuesday Jun 14, 2022

Tuesday Jun 14, 2022

We're back after a six-month hiatus! New job, new life, new studio, new music, same two buffoons! Sorry for the mic issues but we're still figuring out the new layout and sound scheme! And we realize... we're still clueless about what we're doing!

  • The Geek Question of the Week is: Would you rather have to fight a chicken every time you get in a car, or a lion once a year? Don't ask me - it was Connor's idea. And he's dead wrong.  
  • In our Roll for Credits segment, we revisit the first movie we ever talked about way back in Episode 1 - the 2004 Turkish sci-fi parody, G.O.R.A. Still bad, still awesome, still weird! 
  • And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens.

Tuesday Dec 14, 2021

Tuesday Dec 14, 2021

  • In our Roll for Credits segment, we discuss the 2010 quirky Christmas twist on the myth of Santa,  Rare Exports! Apparently Santa was the naughty one all along! Sheesh!  
  • And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens.  
  • One note: since Sean will be moving and starting a new job soon, this will be the last episode for a few weeks as he gets moved and settled in to his new place in Ohio. See you in 2022!

  • In our Roll for Credits segment, we rave over the 2018 Christmas shark serial killer flick, Santa Jaws! Think Home alone meets, well, Jaws.  Nerds win the days!

Episode 69: Get Yer Mind Out of the Gutter!

Tuesday Nov 30, 2021

Tuesday Nov 30, 2021

  • The Geek Question of the Week is: Between animated and live-action, which do you think is the better medium for superhero content? Pretty good discussion, I think, and we landed on opposite sides of the debate. What's new, right?
  • In our Roll for Credits segment, we rave over the 2007 crime thriller starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe, American Gangster! Wow, what a good movie with an amazing cast! Though it definitely takes creative license with the story, it is based on the true story of Frank Lucas and Richie Roberts and heroin and organized crime in Harlem.  
  • And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens.
