The anniversary of our first episodic release!  We learn that there are people with 6 degrees of Jake Becker, in what we deem the Becker-verse.  Kumail? TJ?  Who hasn't he gotten high with?  Also, He feels that listeners are over the intro, but some of us like to do the intro.  How do you feel about it?

We also talk about Hawkeye, currently streaming on Disney+ and it's good out of the gate.  One thing we wondered about is the former Avengers tower.  Who owns it now?  Could it be the Baxter building?  We might be stretching it a bit, but who knows.  The Beatles doc on Netflix is also discussed and it is a hit, for big fans and even minor fans.

That Spidey trailer dropped and we are talking about it.  So many unknowns, but what we DO know is that it'll be chock full of characters! The sinister 6 is there, however we only can confirm five.  Who will be the sixth?  Also, will the other Spidermans be there?  We are definitely excited for this movie!

Disney+ released their upcoming titles for Disney+ Day, and there are a bunch of Marvel properties that are gonna drop.  Moon Knight, She Hulk (with a potential Matt Murdock appearance!!) and Ms. Marvel are some of the bigger ones we are expecting, and it looks like there will be second seasons of some of the previous titles.  What are you looking forward to?

Episode 233 - You Got Some Splainin to Dune!

Welcome to Episode 233 of Broadcast Geeks! On this podcast we discuss all things pop culture provided that our DVR’s have space and our streaming accounts are paid up.  This week, the Geeks (Mitch, Jeff & Matt Orrin) are virtually together to discuss all things geek.

Reese Jenniges joins us again for a quality episode, where we focus on the Eternals.  It was a fun movie, with some tie-ins to the MCU we are all familiar with.  We discuss Celestials and whether or not Galactus, or Ego, are considered part of them.

Dune gets some air time as the new movie was also recently released, but we shift to something more "sinister":  ICP.  The clowns have a doc out regarding an FBI designation of being a gang and Mitch, Juggalo #2512, goes in depth about it.  What's your thoughts on ICP?  Jeff is considered Juggalo-Friendly, and the clowns seem down with him.  How about you?

Episode 232 - Chris Pratt Does Everybody!

Welcome to Episode 232 of Broadcast Geeks! On this podcast we discuss all things pop culture provided that our DVR’s have space and our streaming accounts are paid up.  This week, the Geeks (Mitch, Jeff, and Matt Orrin) are virtually together to discuss all things geek.

Does Chris Pratt do voiceover work for you?  It seems to be his new niche as he is slated to voice Mario, everyone's favorite plumber, as well as Garfield the cat.  Jeff gets excited because he shares a connection with Garfield, as creator Jim Davis is from the same home town as Jeff.  Also, Jeff likes lasagna!  But seriously, why is old Starlord being picked to voice every character in Hollywood?

We then get into a good discussion as to whether Captain Marvel can take Wonder Woman in a fight.  We're kind of split, and good points are brought up such as Wonder Woman might be better suited to fight Thor.  Who do you think will win in a battle between to two warrior women?

Welcome to Episode 231 of Broadcast Geeks! On this podcast we discuss all things pop culture provided that our DVR’s have space and our streaming accounts are paid up.  This week, the Geeks (Jake and Matt Orrin) are virtually together to discuss all things geek.

What a special episode we have in store for you!!  OG (Original Geek) Chris Baker comes back to us, along with long-time Geek Carlos Madrid.  We start off talking HBO shows, previously on DCU.  Both Titans and Doom Patrol have been strong, with Titans concluding their season.  Tim is being taken under Dick's wing to become a Titan, Conner is getting some resolve with blackfire, and Jason Todd will move on.  Doom Patrol is always a favorite, both as a comic and a show!  They are doing some cool things with a decent budget, by the looks of it.

Baker talks Trek for a bit, especially pumping up Lower Decks which is an animated Star Trek story.  Sounds like a fun, and funny premise and should be checked out by Trekkies.  We also learn about a show called Champaign Ill which sounds like a fun show.  What new shows are you watching?

The end of the Titans current season is upon us!  Again, will Jason find redemption?  WTF is Connor doing and is he going bad?  Its been a fun season and it came out strong.  Let's hope it ends that way as well.

Titans isn't over yet, and things have gotten out of control with Jason.  What's up with Batman?  Worst Batman ever!

Harrison Ford came up, and its been so long, I can't remember why I wrote his name.  We definitely talked about his movies and which is currently our favorite.  One that never gets mentioned is Regarding Henry, about a shitty lawyer that has a traumatic brain event and has to relearn everything.  What's your favorite Ford movie?

Episode 228 - You Just Got Watched!

Welcome to Episode 228 of Broadcast Geeks! On this podcast we discuss all things pop culture provided that our DVR’s have space and our streaming accounts are paid up.  This week, the Geeks (Jake, Matt Orrin and Midnight Mitch Jones) are virtually together to discuss all things geek.

It's hard not to talk about Titans because it's great!  They are starting to develop each of the characters, giving them the necessary depth and abilities that they deserve.  Will they stop The Red Hood and Scarecrow?  Will Beast Boy finally change into another animal other than the Tiger?  Doom Patrol is still a thing and we also talk a bit about it, mostly to show love for Brendan Fraser. What's your favorite Brendan Fraser film?

Black Widow settled her lawsuit with Disney which is nice for everyone.  Maybe we will see her again in the MCU?  Probably don't hold your breath.  What if...? is close to it's end and this last episode shows if Ultron had transferred himself to Vision.  He interacts with The Watchmen, which could set up an interesting future for the MCU.

Episode 227 - He‘s Undead to Us!

Welcome to Episode 227 of Broadcast Geeks! On this podcast we discuss all things pop culture provided that our DVR’s have space and our streaming accounts are paid up.  This week, the Geeks (Jeff Albright, Matt Orrin and Midnight Mitch Jones) are virtually together to discuss all things geek.

What if...? on Disney is first on the docket.  It has some strengths, but up until this point it is a mixed bag.  It's great to hear the original voices for many of the characters we know and love, but the stories have been a little weak.  Hopefully they will finish strong on this show.  

Titans!  This show keeps packing the punches, and it gives us a little insight into the Dick & Barbara history, where they were both acting like thieves breaking into banks and vaults.  I guess its little surprise, after all Dick WAS Robbin!  We also got to see a slightly different side of the show, as we got to see some frontal nudity when Jason went for therapy from 2 performers at a sex show.  Don't ask, just watch!  Jason is going through some stuff and we wonder if he is redeemable.  Each member of the team is starting to show some real personality as they figure out how to take down the Red Hood  and Scarecrow.

Episode 226 - He Hulking Exploded!

Welcome to Episode 226 of Broadcast Geeks! On this podcast we discuss all things pop culture provided that our DVR’s have space and our streaming accounts are paid up.  This week, the Geeks (Matt Orrin and Midnight Mitch Jones) are virtually together to discuss all things geek.

This week we have special guest, Piper Shepard, who does a bit of a deep dive into what shows she geeks out over!  Other than RuPaul's Drag Race, which Piper was way into, we chatted a bunch about American Horror Story and it's many seasons.  So many to watch, and some can cause fatigue as Piper talks about Asylum being the one for her that tested her ability to watch it.  Which season was your favorite?

Then, as we are wont to do, we talk about random things such as Woodstock 99, which was the Fyre Festival of it's time.  It was definitely NO BUENO, from many standpoints.  We jump back to the standards, such as What if...? and Titans.  Check out the What if...? episode that has the Hulk exploding from the inside.  It's pretty gnarly!
