Episode 219 - Edging Geeks

Welcome to Episode 219 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, Jake, and Matt Orrin) are virtually together to discuss all things geek.

We start talking Black Widow but not much because Mitch hadn't seen it yet.  Really, we only rated it and it rated well.  We teased info that we felt weren't spoilers.  Jake bought it on Disney+, which means he "owns" it...as long as he has an active D+ subscription.  That seems kind of lame to us, but that's the world we are in.  How do you feel about that?  It's hard to stay too mad at Disney though because of all the delicious content they release.

We do a small dive into the mid 90's with some of the movies at the time, especially ones that MattO hadn't watched, like Space Jam.  Have you seen the new Space Jam movie?  This inevitably leads us down a rabbit hole of old cartoons, like Tom & Jerry.  Jake and Mitch debate whether Chuck Jones did a better job with T&J than Hanna Barbera.  Which is your favorite?

Loki is still the best thing playing right now and we are still talking about it.  This last episode has our "hero" getting pruned.  What happened to him?  The show is almost done so we will see the big reveal, and we're hoping it's Kang.  

Did you TGIF back in the day?  We talk about old shows that you might have watched on a Friday night, or any other week night.   Shows like Tool Time, or Drew Carey show are highlighted.  The Drew Carey show was WAY ahead of its time with a bunch of topics.

Loki is still on our minds because we're trying to figure out what this show is up to!  Is Sylvie the Entchantress and is this world being manipulated by Loki?  Lots happening because there is only 6 episodes and we're halfway there, at this episode.  Mitch has a theory about the lighting of this show.  

Because of Loki, we start to speculate about the future of the MCU...go figure, right?  It makes us wonder who the smartest people in the Marvel U would be, and then will we see any of them in movies?  We go over some lists of super smart characters.  Is it Doom?  Reed Richards?  Peter Parker?  Listen and find out!

Diving into the Multiverse again, because Loki can set up so much for the MCU if they allow it.  And what's with the Sacred Timeline?  Who made it sacred, and why aren't the others important?  Is this the real Loki, and is the variant also a Loki?  

Skynet you say?  Well, not yet but Tesla might be making strides towards it and Jeff is all in!  He imagines a world where we can drive around and record our podcast while our car drives itself.  Think about all the things you can do in a self-driving vehicle.  What do we need to get there?  WIll 5G enable all of this to become a true reality? Will we be Chauffeured Geeks?  Stay tuned!

Episode 215 - CryptoGeeks!

Welcome to Episode 215 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, Jake and Matt Orrin) are virtually together to discuss all things geek.

Crypto is a thing these days, and many of us don't know what the heck it's all about!  Jeff and Jake do their best to break it down for all of us, with a little talk about NFTs.  Is there a nefarious purpose behind the mining that is happening, and who would be behind it?  Elon Musk?  Time will hopefully tell.

We jumped into the Multiverse, talking about Loki and then eventually into Spider-man, which had us discussing the best Peter Parker & Spider-man.  Who is your favorite?

Episode 214 - HobgobliNed!

Welcome to Episode 214 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, Jake, Jeff and Matt Orrin) are virtually together to discuss all things geek.

Talking about villains on this episode, because they are always fun to talk about.  However, we're talking about potential real-life villains with Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, who seems to be on a Lex Luthor trajectory.  Would that make Musk the Riddler?  We relate that to the new Spidey movie coming out and that Ned might become the Hobgoblin.  With all the Multiverse stuff happening, who knows what Marvel is gonna throw at us!

Episode 213 - Get Off My Ice!

Welcome to Episode 213 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 and Matt Orrin) are virtually together to discuss all things geek.

M&M...Mitch and Matt Orrin with a hockey heavy episode.  We talked a bunch about the new Mighty Ducks: Game Changers show which, oddly enough, features Might Ducks alums helping train a different team AGAINST THE NEW DUCKS!!  Sounds pretty crazy, though Mitch gives it the seal of approval.  It led us to talk about hockey movies and how it is hard to name a bad one.  Whats your favorite hockey movie?

Prior to that, we talked about the upcoming Marvel phases and how they could contain characters we desire to see, such as Doom.  We know Namor is rumored to show up in Black Panther, maybe the FF4 is close behind.  We also got philosophical regarding characters and if they are truly villains, such as Zemo.  Is he truly a villain, even though he believes in his heart that what he does is just and right.  He doesn't want any person to have super soldier serum because of the havoc they could unleash on the world if it were abused.  Is that so wrong?

Another episode, and another long winded discussion on the MCU.  Can they sustain the magic that has captivated us for the last 10+ years with the next phases?  This next phase is headed up by magic and the Multiverse.  Who will be the big bad in these upcoming movies?  There was also a cool theory about how the X-Men could be introduced, mostly from the world that Wanda created on her show...yes, think about that.

Mitch is binging Amazon Prime!  He has a month trial and is absorbing as much of their content as possible, which is to our benefit.  He watched the Tick and tell us what he thinks, which leads us all to talk about what we know of the Tick, from the comic book, to the cartoon, to the Warburton show, to the current version!  Which is your favorite?

In the Star Wars universe, we have Bad Batch which is essentially the A-Team in space.  Well, thats what it sounds like with the newest cartoon to hit the stream, involving some failed clones that aren't up to code...or something.

This was a special live episode and we were joined by Anthony Crawford. who always has the best questions, and Scoop Jenson, out of NYC.  Scoop is a long time fan and regular guest, while also being a Hollywood insider.  We had some great discussions, especially about which Superman has been the best.  Is it Cavill?   Does he get a bad rap because the movies weren't very good, despite him being good in the role? We also talked about the Golden Age of TV ending. Do you agree?
