Episode 187 - Finding Facts That Don't Exist!

Welcome to Episode 187 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, Jeff, Jake, and Matt Orrin) are virtually together to discuss all things geek. 

It's still Quarantine 2020 and we had another video conference to bring you necessary Geek content!  The streaming services are all being taxed, and so far they are holding up well.  Duck Tales is back, which is always great Rona viewing.  The second episode establishes Goofy in their universe but we'll see if he'll be a recurring character.  However, Disney+ only has the first two seasons and the the new episodes of the show can be found on DisneyXD.  Since we're on the Wonderful World of Disney, we started talking about the Mandalorian which should be dropping in October of this year.  We're ALL excited about the rumors of Rosario Dawson being cast as Ahsoka Tano for season 2.  We'll keep our fingers crossed for it to happen, because that is the way.

How heavy do you think Wolverine is?  We talk about this a lot, and we continued in this episode.  We've all assumed he was hundreds and hundreds of pounds, but the Internet sources tell us that with the adamantium skeleton, he is only about 300lbs.  I guess that would explain a lot of things we have seen him do effortlessly, such as riding a motorcycle and landing on people without fully crushing them.  Or even just getting up!  We also talked about Cyclops optic blasts.  How far can they go?  Again, our sources tell us that he kind of absorbs energy and channels it out of his eyes so he is limited as to how far he can shoot which means he probably wont destroy the moon if he shot at it full blast.

Lastly, we're still adjusting to the change in the world.  Jeff misses sports...a lot!  Will they come back, or will some just fade away?  Fortunately, we have plenty of distractions from all the different streaming services.  Too bad HBO Max couldn't get their act together to release their service.  By the time they release, maybe mid May, will the world even care?  Are we gonna be done watching TV due to all the front loading in the first month of Quarantine?  What about when we are allowed out, will we even WANT to watch more TV?  Well, we know Jake will...how about you?
