GEEK THIS!

We dive deep into the much-anticipated premiere of Marvel Animation’s X-Men ’97. We explore the legacy of the original animated series and how this new installment aims to revive the classic with a fresh perspective. We discuss the impact of the original X-Men series on pop culture, its enduring influence, and what fans can expect from this new chapter. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the series or new to the world of X-Men, this episode has something for everyone as we revisit the past and speculate about the future of Marvel’s animated universe.

We recorded in a library for this episode, so we do apologize for the difference in sound quality. This may happen every so often, but we’ll keep working to make it less noticeable. 🙂 Discussion Points: Brief recap of the first “Aquaman” film and a reflection of past DCEU movies Acknowledgment of the Hollywood strike and its impact on the industry Initial thoughts: Dave enjoyed “Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom,” initially rating it 8/10 Reassessment leads to criticism of villains, CGI quality, and film editing What we’re geeking: Corridor Digital Film Riot Golden Globes movies Viewfinder Venba Dredge Dave the Diver Concluding Thoughts: Consensus on “Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom” being average and potentially forgettable Excitement for future DC movies under James Gunn’s lead

This episode contains spoilers for Loki Season One and the first three episodes of Loki Season Two. When we last left Loki Laufeyson, Thor’s adopted brother and regular villain of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he had caused a bit of a problem in The Sacred Timeline. Especially when one of his variants, named Sylvie, killed a figure only known as He Who Remains. In Season Two, Loki partners up with Mobius M. Mobius, time-traveling in an attempt to save The Sacred Timeline while Sylvie tries to destroy it and live her own life. In this episode we discuss the first half of Loki and dig into where it may be going.

Marvel’s Loki has returned to the small screen for season two, but we decided to go back in time ourselves to remember what season one had going on. We also touch on Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania (what a title). After this, we’ll be headed back to the future for season two’s mischief!

We’ve been gone for three years. Longer if you think about the time that Dave was solo – we don’t talk about that. But… we’re back and we actually have a plan of attack! But first, we figured it would be best to catch up, let you know what we’ve been up to, and what we’ve been geeking out about. Dang it’s good to be back! Pardon the rust; it’s been a bit since we’ve recorded together. Please follow us over on Facebook, Instagram, and (possibly) Threads to let us know you’re happy we’re back, what you thought of this episode, and what you want to hear from us next!

It’s October, the podcast is back, and it’s that time of the year where we all just want something spooky to watch. This week, I’m starting off the season right by talking a little about a show from my childhood – and possibly yours – Are You Afraid of the Dark. I hope you enjoy the return from my unexpected two-month break. After recording the episode, I found this amazing, updated re-imagining of the Are You Afraid of the Dark intro. It’s the audio you hear at the end of the episode. Please check out more of the videos and projects created by SNEAKYBOY on YouTube. I did not ask permission to use the audio in the episode, but am in the process of getting in touch with the SNEAKYBOY team to let them know. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ghu3_77SCqw

This week, I’m jumping all into my newfound fascination for role-playing games with a special release of the pilot episode of RPG with Me, a new podcast I’m doing with my daughters. I hope you enjoy it! If you’ve been reading Finally Fridays on the blog lately, you’ll know that I’ve become very interested in tabletop role-playing games. I’ll talk about this more in the next episode official episode of the podcast, but let me say this: RPG WITH ME is a labor of love that I’m so excited about. It isn’t replacing GEEK THIS, but it does take more time to produce and has been part of the reason the show has been put off over the last month. Thank you for sticking with me. I hope you’ll subscribe to the new show and listen with your family. EPISODE LINKS Subscribe to RPG with Me CONNECT WITH US Facebook Twitter SUPPORT THE SHOW Become a Patron Buy a Shirt

It's the week after San Diego Comic-Con and we've got trailers! Why not spend the entire episode giving my initial reactions?!

A BTS look at the show as we continue to celebrate 100 episodes.

You'll never know how grateful I am that you listen. Thank you all so very much for 100 episodes! There's still more to come!

It's one of the biggest video games out there right now: Fortnite. I talk about my experience with the game and the following news stories in this week's episode.

It's another hard-hitting episode as I give my opinion on the recent news surrounding Chris Hardwick and Chloe Dykstra, as well as share the way the writers of Infinity War would fix the DCEU.

Geoff Johns steps down as DC Comics Chief Creative Officer and I end the episode with a discussion about the serious issue of depression.

GEEK THIS! is back from a short hiatus! The Toys That Made us could easily be marketed solely to collectors, but for me, there was a little bit of nostalgia, even with the good amount of toys that I never played with. I’m a fan of history, documentaries, and pop culture, so the series hit on multiple cylinders.

Yes, the show is on hiatus for another week or so, but we absolutely had to get together and talk about Deadpool 2! David Hunt and Mike Kostrewa return for the discussion, which has a very brief non-spoiler section before we dive in head-long.

This week we re-assembled our personal team of Avengers to talk about Infinity War. It's a longer episode (with some audio glitches, sorry) featuring David Hunt and Mike Kostrewa back behind the microphones again. We definitely enjoyed the movie and had a great time talking about it.

In the last two episodes, I’ve been sharing pieces of lore surrounding Avengers: Infinity War, which is the culmination of 10 years and 18 films within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Today, in the third and final part of my Road to Infinity War series, I’m going to dig into the history of the Mad Titan, Thanos.

The Infinity Gems power the Infinity Gauntlet and as you might expect, they've have switched hands a time or two. The real question, though, is "Where did they come from?"

The Infinity Gauntlet has had an interesting existence since it debuted in 1990. We’ve seen Thanos wearing it in the Infinity War trailer but that doesn’t mean someone else won’t get their hand into it. We’ll have to see.

Stan Lee gets his blood stolen, Antonio Banderas becomes an X-Man, and Thanos demands your silence!
