Episode 153 - Broadcast Cleats

Welcome to Episode 153 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 (Jake, Jeff, Mitch and Matt Orrin)  are back in the Quantum Realm, under Mutiny Information Cafe, to discuss all things geek.

Doom Patrol takes a turn for the weird this week, which says a lot for this show.  Mitch gives us the breakdown of the last episode, which features the many characters inside the head of Crazy Jane.  Cliff gets a peek inside her head, at the Underground where they all live, to find Jane and bring her back to consciousness.  We talk about how good of a job they are doing with the Cyborg character, especially as far as keeping his powers manageable and somewhat believable.  

We take another stab at why Mitch doesn't like 'Horse & Sword' fantasy, with the origin story dating back to his football days and playing games in Kearney (prounounced KUR-NEE), Nebraska.  Did you know that our Mitch is a State Champion?  We didn't either, but it plays into why he doesn't like the genre.  

Next up was Star Wars talk, as there was a bunch to talk about.  The new trailer was released, giving us LOTS to discuss.  Is Palpatine going to have big role in the movie?  Will Rey turn bad, and Ben good?  Which Skywalker will rise?  The Skywalkers are terrible people and demonstrate bad personal traits, such as impatience, anger, and emotional immaturity.  Well, at least the men do including Kylo, who is the son a Skywalker.  Wait...could Han also be a Skywalker?  This brought us to bounty hunters, specifically the Mandalorian, which will be released on the Disney+ streaming service debuting in November.  Which is your favorite bounty hunter in the Star Wars universe?
