- Welcome to Episode 61: Welcome to the Jungle!
- We're back at it after a week off for... DRAGONCON!
- DragonCon was a smaller and different experience than years past because of COVID, but it was still great to see everyone! Oh, and I apparently was the ONLY one in the podcasting circles to actually GET COVID while there, even though fully vaxxed and masked! Ugh! But the show must go on!
- This week's Geek Question of the Week is: If you were lost and alone in the jungle, what fictional item would you want to have with you to help you survive and escape?
- In our Roll for Credits segment, we review the 2017 true story of survival, Jungle, starring Daniel Radcliffe as Yossi Ghinsberg, a man lost and alone in the Bolivian jungle for 17 days! Fascinating story. I love movies based on true events!
- And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens.

- Welcome to Episode 57: Jupiter Ascending and Space Legolas!
- This week's Geek Question of the Day is a two parter: 1) If you could combine two animals together to create your own new species what would it be and why? 2) If you could create a human/animal hybrid, which animal would you pick and what features of the animal would the human hybrid have?
- In our Roll for Credits segment, we review the 2015 Wachowski sci-fi romp, Jupiter Ascending starring Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis! Goes to show you that two A-list actors cannot save a film. But hey! Sean Bean didn't die in the movie! Bonus!
- And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens.

- Welcome to Episode 52: Secret Agent Man!
- This week's Geek Question of the Day is: If you became a secret agent/spy, what strategy would you use to hide your identity while under cover?
- In our Roll for Credits segment, we review the fascinating 2018 Spy biopic, The Catcher Was A Spy, Starring Paul Rudd, Jeff Daniels, Mark Strong, Guy Pearce, and Paul Giamatti! I love movie plots that are so outlandish to almost be unbelievable... but are TRUE. You're not gonna believe this Moe Berg guy...
