Episode 209 - Broadcast Leaks

Welcome to Episode 209 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.

The band is back!  Jake joins us for more talk about Falcon & Winter Soldier, and some possible implications for the future of the MCU.  Is Chris Evans gonna reprise his role at some point, helping to align the next phase and are we gonna see Jackman as the Wolverine?  Are we gonna see Dark Avengers with John Walker and Val?

Before Jakes tells us his sadness from reading the TMNT books, on which he ruined with his tears, we talk about Tom Hanks and his brother.  Apparently he is one of a group of Hollywood siblings that fills in for his brother in voicework and select video spots.  How crazy is that?  Then again, are you really listening to US when you listen to the podcast? Hmmm....

Episode 207 - Time Patrol Squad (Snyder Cut Part 2)

Welcome to Episode 207 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.

We're back to finish our review on the second half of the 4-hour beast that is Zack Snyder's Justice League. Matt was a little less enthused about it than in the previous episode but overall we come to the conclusion that it was better than the 2017 version, although that isn't a hard bar to clear. Some of the stuff didn't make sense at all, even if it was cool to include a Martian Manhunter cameo. There's also a bit of non-spoilery talk on The Falcon and The Winter Solider as well as Godzilla vs. Kong. Mitch also recommends watching Shin Godzilla, a 2016 movie where Godzilla evolves like a giant, gross Pokémon throughout the narrative.

We spend almost the entirety of this episode discussing the first half of Zack Snyder's Justice League. This movie is so chock full of superhero antics that it cannot be contained to just one podcast! We talk about what we liked, what we didn't like, the changes made from the Joss Whedon version of the movie, and much more! At the end we briefly chat about The Falcon and The Winter Soldier before calling it a night. We'll be back to wrap this review up on the next episode! Same Bat Time, same Bat Channel!

Episode 205 - Marvel's Got a Bohner!

Welcome to Episode 205 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.

We had a slightly higher level of nostalgia this episode, where we talked about 80's & 90's movies.  One in particular was Grease 2, not necessarily a major hit but impactful nonetheless.  And it had a young Michelle Pfieffer!  This lead us to talk about best sequel, not including Empire.  Do you have a pick?

We couldn't go a week without mentioning Marvel, and even Ralph Bohner.  We focused on their current direction, specifically with Falcon & the Winter Soldier, now out on Disney+, and how that might end up.  Also, how can Sam catch the shield when he throws it?  Its made out of Vibranium and he isn't superpowered, like Cap or Bucky.  Guess we'll all have to watch and find out!

Episode 204 - The Scarlet Mitch

Welcome to Episode 204 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.

Wandavision has ended and man, was there a lot to talk about.  At least half of this episode was spent discussing the ending, of which was a sensitive topic amongst the Geeks.  We were split on the ending; half of us really liked it and the other half was put off by it.  Not the show, just the ending.  So many questions!!  What happens to Vision?  Where does Wanda go from here?  Will they be together again?  All of the inside stuff and fan theories were shot down and put to rest, such as the Pietro from the X-Men movies.  What a Bohner!

We continue the talks about MCU stuff, especially the upcoming Thor movie.  We also talk Samuel Jackson and his movies.  This was a fun episode!

Episode 203 - Discs & Balls

Welcome to Episode 203 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.

Another episode, and we are still talking about Gina Carano's release, but now we have more info.  We know who she will be replaced with, or at least what character will take more of a spotlight.  We spend little time on it though, because with Wandavision there is so much more to talk about!  The MCU has a bunch of movies coming out that might ALL be connected.  Both Spidey and Dr. Strange are dealing with the multiverse, and Wanda should have a big role in Dr. Strange.  

Last, we discuss Burt Reynolds and his movies.  Many seem to revolve around a bootlegging theme, or at lest some of his finest works.  What's your favorite Burt Reynold's film?

Episode 202 - Gina Cara-NO!

Welcome to Episode 202 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. 

At the time of this recording, another person opened their mouth a little too wide and couldn't get the shoe out.  Gina Carano was let go by Disney from her role on the Mandalorian.  Is this another example of cancel culture?  We talk about it, and potential implications.  

Wandavision...am I right??  Pietro shows up, but not the one we thought it would be.  Is this setting up something cool for the MCU?  When we recorded this, we thought so but nowadays, we aren't too sure.  We agree that a Vision/Darcy buddy show would be great!  

Last we jump over to WB/DC news, starting with movies and shows that come out of the new The Suicide Squad movie, directed by James Gunn.  John Cena has his own show coming out apparently!  Are there any ties to the new Batman coming out?  Stay tuned to find out!

Episode 201 - Jeffy LaRusso: All-City Karate Kid

Welcome to Episode 201 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... while discussing the Netflix series Cobra Kai, the hosts (Mitch, Jeff, and Matt Orrin) learn that Jeff was a karate prodigy back in Illinois and had so much prowess that he skipped a belt level! Dude is practically a Ninja Turtle!

We're still a little behind in our weekly WandaVision recap but we start to speculate who in the Marvel Cinematic Universe can help solve the Westview Hex? It could be anyone! Even the Nicolas Cage version of Ghost Rider!

The Snyder Cut of Justice League is imminent!

Also... what's a movie that you can start watching at any point and you just HAVE to watch the rest of it no matter how many times you've seen it before? Mitch says The Blues Brothers, Jeff says Jaws, and Matt says Starship Troopers. We want to hear yours!

Episode 200 - Reminiscent Geeks

Welcome to Episode 200 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, and Matt Orrin) are virtually together to discuss all things geek. 

We reached the arbitrary number 200 of our podcast and so we're calling it quits...what?  No way, we just got some momentum going!  There is always gonna be stuff to talk about so don't fret.  Especially with how much content Disney controls and the amount of Star Wars stuff.  

Speaking of Star Wars, we talk about the Mandalorian and boy, what a finale!  Did you know who showed up, or did you need to see the green lightsaber?  And how about Rosario as Ahsoka, which should be spinning off into its own show.  Mitch has lots of theories that he shares with us. 

We also talk Wandavision, which started a little slow for some people but definitely picks up, especially at ep 4!  Will this show lead into other shows, or even into the bigger MCU and the next phase?  Its hard to keep up with all the easter eggs and clues, but rest assured...we'll continue to keep you informed!
