Episode 161 - Visual Hoes and Bros

Welcome to Episode 161 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 (Jeff, Jake, Mitch and Matt Orrin) joined by Joel Vernon and Alex Creasy, are back in the Quantum Realm to discuss all things geek.

We were a bit packed this week in the basement of Mutiny, but that didn't stop us from doing what we do best.  We started with the new Child's Play, which Joel had just seen and enjoyed.  It has some fundamental differences from the original, and we discussed those and how they might have effected the movie.  Then again, Joel is apparently a big Youtube content consumer, so its hard to really trust his judgement!   He did share a show he geeks out on, about a thrift store shopper named Paul Cantu.  He sounds pretty obsessed with this show.

Alex Creasy shared some thoughts, which is always a gamble.  He wants to make a 4th Matrix movie, and tells us the premise of it.  It sounds very Meta.  We then jumped to Kung Fu movies, which is always a favorite.  Do you have a preferred Kung Fu movie, or director?  We talked a bunch about Kung Fu Hustle then somehow switched to our featured actor of the week: Dustin Hoffman.  Despite his prolific career, we discovered that he isn't immune to a bad movie.  Whats your favorite Dustin Hoffman movie?

Jake lets us know that he has caught up on Riverdale, which leads to a weird dream that involved Jughead getting killed for an overdue burger tab.  Should that have been Wimpy, instead?  Uh oh, Wimpy...Tuesday is coming!  Apparently, Riverdale finishes pretty strongly although doesn't pay too much tribute to Luke Perry.

Of course, our week wouldn't be complete without in depth discussion of Batman and who will be playing him next.  This time its Robert Pattinson, which makes some people cringe.  Who would be a better Batman?  Could Shia LaBeouf wear the cape and cowl?  We compare the two actors, though in truth we throw a bunch more into the mix!
