Episode 142 - Hyped on the Spidey-verse

Welcome to Episode 142 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, a foursome of the Geeks (Jake, Mitch, Nate and Matt Orrin) are joined by Evan Johnson and are back in the Comedy Room Room for another packed episode of geeky goodness.  

 

We had just seen Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse when we recorded this and, boy-howdy, we were pumped!  The movie was so good, and was referenced by someone as the best superhero movie made, possibly both animated and just in general.  Everything about it was solid, especially the animation and the writing.  The story was great and so was Nicholas Cage, but we expected him to be great.  Who was YOUR favorite character?  We jump in and out of Spidey talk throughout the episode.  It was interesting how powerful a role guns played out in the movie, used by people that don't really use or need guns.  Curious?

All that talk about everyone's favorite NYC hero got us talking about other heroes in NYC.  Could we see some sort of Spiderham spin-off show, or other characters, that maybe aren't so popular.  We then started talking about Sesame Street adding a homeless character and realized they already have one...Oscar the Grouch, which might explain his demeanor. He lives in the trash, and bothers people walking by him all day.  Who knows what will happen if they continue to gentrify the Grouch.  

Back to the DCU, which is still our favorite streaming service.  Titans has reached its finale, and we discuss it a little bit.  We talk about Batman killing people, in any of his realms, because it sure seems to happen a lot.   Though some iterations of him are better than others, such as Brave and Bold which is way better a show than it should be. We're all getting stoked for Doom Patrol, which just recently released a new trailer.  

Anthony Crawford jumped in to give us a live Crawford-ism: Who would win in a race...Speedy Gonzalez or Roadrunner?  We discuss that, but do you have an opinion on it?  We transitioned into Glass, because that looks super exciting.  We discussed implications of that world, and does the villian create himself by creating a superhero?  It brings us back to the topic of whether Batman is responsible for his villians, or vice versa.  Give it a listen.
