GEEK THIS!

Yes, we tend to do this every single year: lay out a game plan for what the show will look like and then fail miserably. That's what happens when your hosts are employed full-time, have families, and don't feel like they're ever breathing at the end of the day. BUT... we really are trying. Dave is doing some video projects for work, so you, lovely audience, will be benefiting from that as well. Subscribe to the GEEK THIS! YouTube channel for quick reviews and the occasional freeform livestream where you'll be able to interact in the chat. All in the name of honing a new craft!

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 say goodbye to the DCEU, but does it go out like a powerful tsunami or end up like a beached whale?

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.

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!

The upcoming X-Men movies continue to get shuffled, a Han Solo keeps the drama coming, and Pacific Rim might just be crossing over with Godzilla and friends.
