- 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.

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.

- 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.

- So much going on! So much to talk about! And not all of it good!
- Sean goes off on Shang-Chi (in a GOOD way!), Eternals, and Red Notice (in a BAD way)!
- The Geek Question of the Week is: What are the conspiracy theories you think are stupid and just don't buy into? Sorry, Flat Earthers, but we're coming at you HARD. Moon landing conspiracies too!
- In our Roll for Credits segment, we talk about the 1986 cookie cutter 80's flick about skateboarding, love, and family drama, Thrashin'! Josh Brolin at 18! Thanos on a skateboard! Skateboard gangs, Red Hot Chili Peppers when they were YOUNG, and bad wigs! Good music though! LOL

- Welcome to Episode 66: Deja Vu All Over Again!

- In our Roll for Credits segment, we talk about great 2004 thriller starring Ashton Kutcher, The Butterfly Effect! Great, sad, thrilling movie. It was much better than I remembered when I first saw it back in the day, and for Quill it was a great first watch!

- Welcome to Episode 64: What Did We Just Watch?!
- This week we are joined by Dennis from Botched! A D&D Podcast to talk about his upcoming comic project, Lycan: Solomon's Odyssey, about the world's first werewolf! It has been fully funded on Kickstarter and is complete! Come hear about this awesome project and head over to https://www.hiveheadstudios.com to get in on it and get your issue!
- The Geek Question of the Week is: If you could be the DM for a D&D party of celebrities, what celebrities would you have in your party and what kind of character would they play? This was a fun one and it was certainly cool for Dennis to chime in with his ideas.
- In our Roll for Credits segment, we review the 2016 "comedy horror" movie, The Alchemist Cookbook! What in the world did we just watch?! It was neither comedy NOR horror. Oof!
- And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens.
