Episode 134 - Fins of Anarchy

Welcome to Episode 134 of Broadcast Geeks! On this podcast we discuss all things geek and nerd related, provided our DVR’s have space and our Netflix accounts are our own and none others.  This week the Geeks (Mitch, Jake and Matt Orrin) are joined by Apples, a Comedian from northern Colorado, at the Sexpot Comedy Studios located above the awesome Mutiny Information Cafe, for another packed episode of geeky goodness.  

 

Venom is in theatres and some of us went to see it with funny man Apples.  Can they make an entertaining, functional Spider-man based "villian" film without the webslinging hero?  It appears that they did!  We all pretty much liked it, though it had some trouble spots.  It seemed no one dug the Eminem song at the end, but you decide for yourself.  However, it is top of the box office for two weeks in a row, so it might have staying power...like a turd in the wind.  

We couldn't just talk about Venom, as there is a WHOLE world of content out there! Some of it is spooky, like clowns.  We talked about that clown from Poltergeist and Apples taking Mitch ghost hunting.  Listen to hear what they found on their hunt.  We also created a new show, Poltergeists & Pies which has the participant baking for a spirit, trying to figure out what baked good they might want.  

Onto the DC Universe, we talked about the new Aquaman trailer and Jake noticed Sea Bikers, riding on giant sea horses.  Fins of Anarchy!  Also, James Gunn seems to be coming over to DC to work on Suicide Squad.  This could be very exciting if it really happens.  Titans is now officially out on DC Universe streaming service, so make sure to check THAT out!

Apples is apparently a big Transformers fan, from back in the day, so we needed to talk about that Bumblebee trailer.  Its weird having a movie about a peripheral character, but we will say that the old-school look of robots was great!  Bumblebeem, Soundwave and Optimus Prime look like they should, and that makes this very exciting.  The original Michael Bay Transformers movies have merit but this new movie seems to lack the Bay-os of those films.
