Episode 146 - The No Food-Must Murder Cleanse

Welcome to Episode 146 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, Jake, Jeff and Matt Orrin) are back in the Quantum Realm, under Mutiny Information Cafe, to discuss all things geek.

We had to start on that Avengers teaser that was aired during the "Big Game" and was it a good one!  Although, it left us wanting more...both visually, and informationally.  We throw some theories around, maybe one of them will be right.  We throw a potential "spoiler" out there while Mitch covers his ears, but it isn't confirmed or even that big of a deal. 

Next, we jump to the DCU which is still our favorite streaming service.  We are pumped for the next round of Young Justice episodes, slated for June, as well as the Doom Patrol.  This led us to talk about the DCEU, which confirmed that Batfleck is out and someone new will enter the fray, possibly younger.  As much as we liked Batfleck, which oddly enough we did, we are excited for a younger iteration of the Dark Knight.  Maybe DC will realize that it's streaming service can blur the lines between TV and movies, eliminating the need for huge star power.  

We started talking about different shows and movies, such as the Ted Bundy documentary.  Apparently, Jeff shouldn't have watched it alone and he recommends you avoid doing the same.  He also told us about Russian Dolls, which is kind of like Happy Death Day.  We talked about Y:The Last Man being made into a show on FX.  Then, for some of our long time listeners we tried talking about Star Trek.  Unfortunately, the Geeks that were in attendance havent watched the new Star Trek, so we talked about Orville instead.  Essentially, Seth McFarland redid Star Trek and added some humor.  Isn't that good enough?

Episode 145 - Road to Nerdition

Welcome to Episode 145 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, Nate, Jake and Matt Orrin) are joined by Evan Johnson & Reese Jenniges, back in the remains of El Charrito for another packed episode of geeky goodness.  

First off this week is Young Justice: Outsiders.  This show, though filled with more characters than necessary, is great and is another reason why all geeks should have the DCU streaming service.  It is great seeing all your favorite, and somewhat obscure, characters get time but it is also cool to see some of the newer, less known characters such as Halo.  She is a bit OP though, as it seems that she is getting new powers daily!  This made us wonder if maybe she will become a multi-colored Lantern.  Do they even exist?  The action on the show is pretty solid, especially when Batman infiltrates Santa Prisca island with the Outsiders.

We jumped to Netflix next to talk about the Marvel properties, specifically Daredevil S3 and Punisher S2.  Reese got caught up on a bunch of the shows, but we all agree that it doesn't get much better then S3 of DD, from multiple aspects.  The fight scenes are top notch, as is the characters, but Vincent D'Onofrio steals it all with his Kingpin.  We'd love a show just about him, told from his perspective.  We'd talked about how relatable Punisher can be, and his second season.  Did you think it was as good as S1?

Mitch tells us the results from the online Magic poll, with the results being debatable.  Is it JUST magic, or it is Science that we haven't been able to describe yet.  Listen to some of us fight it out...verbally. 

We jump into Disney, and the announcement of a rated R Black Widow movie.  An R rated Disney movie!?!?  Could this set a precedent for future Marvel movies?  Let's hope!

Episode 144 - Taste the Rainbow, MFer!

Welcome to Episode 144 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, a small subset of Geeks (Mitch, Nate and Matt Orrin) are joined by Evan Johnson, back in the remains of the Comedy Room Room for another packed episode of geeky goodness.  

It looks like Thanos might have finally gotten to us, as only half of the Geeks were present but that void was well filled by the shoes, and Trenchcoat, of Evan Johnson (aka Constantine).  He shared any insight he had with us on all kinds of topics, even with the Flash.  How does Flash age?  If he is moving normally when everyone isn't, would he live for a long time or does that take a toll on his body and age him quicker?  We discussed Flash because the show is back on CW, and it hit the ground running.  Some of us think Nora needs to leave the show, as she is "slowing" it down.  Her arc continues, however.  

Next on to the new Spiderman trailer...didn't we just get a Spidey movie?  Well, Far From Home comes out in a few months and what a trailer it was!  We see Mysterio, which makes us wonder what his powers are in this movie.  Are they all just F/X or can he actually DO the things we saw in the trailer?  Also, where does this movie take place with regards to Avengers: End Game?  We float a theory that it takes place DURING that movie, possibly in an altered reality.  We'll have to wait and see. 

We can't go an episode without talking DCU, and this time we're still talking about Young Justice: Outsiders.  The show is adding a lot of characters and story, but it looks like they have converged to a nice plot point.  The show is getting pretty dark, with one character getting beheaded, though they don't exactly show that detail as it happens but they do show the aftermath.  They also show Halo practically get gutted, but her healing factor kicks in.  Halo seems a bit OP, but does a good job of representation in characters.  Stay tuned for the MAIN MAN to show in ep. 9 of the show.  

After a bit of Punisher, we talk about Fyre Festival which was a "high end" festival catered to rich millennials and internet influencers...and pigs!  Mitch tells us about two documentaries, one on Hulu and the other Netflix, regarding this fiasco of a festival that had many of us laughing at how bad things went for attendees and organizers...and pigs!  There were so many things that happened, or didn't happen, that make you question how this whole thing was even considered.  There were also pigs!  Watch them to see how the shitstorm unfolded.

Episode 143 - Poop or Get Off the Potter

Welcome to Episode 143 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 (Jake, Jeff, Mitch, Nate and Matt Orrin) are joined by Reese Jenniges (sic), back in the Quantum Realm under Mutiny Info Cafe for another packed episode of geeky goodness.  

Its a new year and a new episode!  Will we go for a new 52?  Probably more likely 42, but we'll see what happens as we aren't much for resolutions.  We ARE, however, into Titans as we continue to talk about how awesome the show is and how much we are enjoying it.  The finale was nuts, with lots of questions to be answered but it also felt like it would lead into one more episode.  Did it feel like a finale to you?

We had Reese Jenniges on and there was confusion as to whether or not he would be replacing a geek.  Are the Geeks being recasted for this new season?  Who will Reese replace, if so?  That led to discussion about Young Justice: Outsiders, which came out on DCU. The show takes place a few years after the second season, which you should have watched aleady!  Things take a weird turn, especially for member Black Lightning.  We're all excited to keep watching it, as well as ALL of the other great content on our favorite streaming service. 

Next, we talk poop.  It started with Supermans poop...is it powerful?  Would he destroy a toilet?  This led to someone saying that in the old days, Potter-verse wizards would just poop where they were and then magic the poop away.  Poof!  Matt Orrin wanted to know where the poop went, because it has to go somewhere! Do the laws of Physics have ANY role in Rowlings Wizarding World??

Jeff finally saw Venom, and like the rest of us seemed somewhat whelmed.  It was good but maybe not as good as its box office suggests.  Could we see Spidey interact with the symbiote in the future?  Do they need him for success?  Will we see movie studios combine these characters, as in the Avengers movies with Sony?  Stay tuned!

Episode 142 - Hyped on the Spidey-verse

Welcome to Episode 142 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, a foursome of the Geeks (Jake, Mitch, Nate and Matt Orrin) are joined by Evan Johnson and are back in the Comedy Room Room for another packed episode of geeky goodness.  

 

We had just seen Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse when we recorded this and, boy-howdy, we were pumped!  The movie was so good, and was referenced by someone as the best superhero movie made, possibly both animated and just in general.  Everything about it was solid, especially the animation and the writing.  The story was great and so was Nicholas Cage, but we expected him to be great.  Who was YOUR favorite character?  We jump in and out of Spidey talk throughout the episode.  It was interesting how powerful a role guns played out in the movie, used by people that don't really use or need guns.  Curious?

All that talk about everyone's favorite NYC hero got us talking about other heroes in NYC.  Could we see some sort of Spiderham spin-off show, or other characters, that maybe aren't so popular.  We then started talking about Sesame Street adding a homeless character and realized they already have one...Oscar the Grouch, which might explain his demeanor. He lives in the trash, and bothers people walking by him all day.  Who knows what will happen if they continue to gentrify the Grouch.  

Back to the DCU, which is still our favorite streaming service.  Titans has reached its finale, and we discuss it a little bit.  We talk about Batman killing people, in any of his realms, because it sure seems to happen a lot.   Though some iterations of him are better than others, such as Brave and Bold which is way better a show than it should be. We're all getting stoked for Doom Patrol, which just recently released a new trailer.  

Anthony Crawford jumped in to give us a live Crawford-ism: Who would win in a race...Speedy Gonzalez or Roadrunner?  We discuss that, but do you have an opinion on it?  We transitioned into Glass, because that looks super exciting.  We discussed implications of that world, and does the villian create himself by creating a superhero?  It brings us back to the topic of whether Batman is responsible for his villians, or vice versa.  Give it a listen.

Episode 141 - Don't Poop on the Tour Bus

Welcome to Episode 141 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, ALL of the Geeks (Jeff, Jake, Mitch, Nate and Matt Orrin) are joined by Jeremy Pysher and are in the Quantum Realm, located below Mutiny Information Cafe, for another packed episode of geeky goodness.  

 

Another episode and we are still talking Titans! We see the history of Hank and Dawn as they share a tragedy.  We see a lot more than that, in fact...its more like Hank and Dong!  This was a real dark episode, showing Hank take one for the team to protect his younger brother Donny from a preying, pedophile Gym Teacher.  This could help explain some of Hank's aggression.  The episode ends with Rachel calling out to them from inside their dreams.  We know Trigon is coming.  What does this spell for our heroes?

Speaking of heroes, James Gunn is producing a new film that looks like a horror version of the Superman origin.  This seems very exciting for some of us.  We talked about different kinds of superhero films, such as Super (directed by James Gunn) with Rainn Wilson.  I guess Gunn is into the darker side of superpowers.   

Idols.  Do you have one?  We talked about some of ours and how we acted when we met them.  Sometimes, you lose control of things when you meet them.  For example, Jeff stiff armed Nickelback singer, Chad Kroeger, when he met Sammy Hagar.  It's probably ok, since it is Nickelback.  Pysher told us about how he met Macauly Culkin, which must have been an interesting meeting. 

We talk a little bit of Kevin Bacon, and some of his better films.  Honestly, they are all pretty good.  How many degrees of Kevin Bacon do you have?  Jeff talked about how there was nothing to do in his hometown except go to see the movie She's Having a Baby.  That was the only film in town for middle schoolers.   

Finally, we talked Elseworlds...how could we not??  The CW is establishing themselves as WAY better than DC films when it comes to delivering what we want to see.  Our favorite DC heroes encounter, and enlist, Batwoman and Superman in their quest to stop Dr. John Deegan from changing reality and becoming a god.  But a more serious threat, or Crisis, is imminent.  We talked about how DC TV is matching Marvel with their output, obviously not on a grand scale, and making fans real happy.  However, Mitch has problems with some of their animation.  Listen to find out which ones the mild, mannered, Geek can't stand.

Episode 140 - Magneto Appleseed

Welcome to Episode 140 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, ALL of the Geeks (Jeff, Jake, Mitch, Nate and Matt Orrin) are joined by Carlos Madrid and are back in the space formerly inhabited by Sexpot Comedy, right above Mutiny Information Cafe, for another packed episode of geeky goodness.  

We talked more Titans, because it SO GOOD!!  Seriously, this show has been delivering each week and it's gonne suck when the season is done.  Will Dick become Nightwing this season?  Who is the big bad?  Did Starfire just kill Raven?  We assume the answer to that one is no, but the show made it seem like its a possibility.  This last episode introduced Wonder Girl, Donna Troy, and mentioned both Wonder Woman and the Justice League.  

We're also excited for the upcoming CW crossover event, Elseworlds, which will introduce some new characters such as Batwoman and Lois Lane.  We know a little about the crossover, and talk as in depth as possible.  We also got news that they casted the role of Renee Montoya (aka the Question) in the new Birds of Prey movie filming next year.  Hopefully, DC can start making movies as good as their TV.  

Marvel, on the other hand, has no problem with their movies.  The new Captain Marvel trailer just dropped and we paused recording to watch it.  We've all seen it multiple times since because it looks real good.  We talk more about the character that Jude Law is playing, which is not the possibly hinted at Mar-vell.  Unfortunately, they wont be including any of the Netflix characters especially since Daredevil was just cancelled.  That leaves Punisher and Jessica Jones, both of which will probably be cancelled after their next seasons.  If they ever did use those characters, would they recast them?  We hope not with some, especially Punisher.  

It almost Christmas time, and Duck Tales (Woo Ooo) just had a great Christmas episode.  Turns it that Scrooge doesn't hate Christmas, its just his only day off each year and he wants to unwind with his buds, which happen to be the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future.  This brought up everyones favorite version of the Christmas Carol.  Some say Scrooged, others say the Mickey Mouse version.  What is your definitive version?

We ended with discussion on the Caped Crusader, and his fighting prowess.  We wondered if Dick has ever fought Batman for any reason and, if so, could he beat Batman?  Could Batman beat Daredevil, or even Iron Fist, in a fight?  Listen and find out our thoughts!

Episode 139 - Does Wolverine Have the Stones?

Welcome to Episode 139 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 trio of Geeks (Jeff, Jake and Matt Orrin) are joined by Carlos Madrid and are back in the space inhabited by Sexpot Comedy, right above Mutiny Information Cafe, for another packed episode of geeky goodness.  

 

It's all about Titans again this week as this show continues to rock!  We're seeing a much darker Dick Grayson work his anger out, and get him closer to Nightwing.  We don't know if he'll change during this season, but it is definitely going to happen at some point.  The upcoming (current?) episode will introduce Donna Troy.  We discuss her place in the world of DC, and how she compares to her more "adult" counterpart, Wonder Woman.  We also talk about the upcoming Swamp Thing as this remains high on our interest list.

We then talk about Venom and its worldwide financial success, especially for not being the next movie released in the last few years.  It's getting close to hitting $1billion!!  What does that mean for Spiderman going away from Sony and back to Marvel?  Well, it doesn't look that good.  If they can make a Spidey related movie, WITHOUT Spiderman, with this much success then who knows what they will continue to do.  The new Spiderman game came up next and it is so much fun.  Do you prefer to play games on Console or PC?  This could be a hotbed topic for the Geeks!

The CW-verse takes over the discussion next, and we talked about our favorite shows right now.  Arrow seems to be atop the heap for another week.  We're ALL anticipating the upcoming crossover event, Elseworlds, especially with the new trailer CW released.  We cannot wait to see Batwoman make her appearance.  Legends of Tomorrow, while not part of the crossover, is also worth the watch.  They have been doing a lot of fun, magical, stuff.  

We finish up with Sylvester Stallone and the next Rocky based movie, Creed 2.  This movie appears to be a double sequel, one to Rocky 4 and also to the first Creed movie.  Regardless, we're pretty excited to see Dolph Lundgren once again on the screen, big or little.  We started naming our favorite Sly films, as there are plenty of really good ones.  Which is your favorite?

Episode 138 - Curtis Has Terrific Balls!

Welcome to Episode 138 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 a trio of Geeks (Jeff, Jake and Matt Orrin) are back in the space inhabited by Sexpot Comedy, right above Mutiny Information Cafe, for another packed episode of geeky goodness.  

Talk started with Titans, only available on the DC Universe streaming service.  This show has been great and we talked a lot about it.  The last episode featured Jason Todd, who appears to have some issues.  Was he a rebound for Batman after Dick leaves him?  We're looking forward to the Doom Patrol show, especially after their appearance on Titans.  We're also looking forward to Swamp Thing, which could change EVERYTHING in the comic book world we all love.  Will Constantine show up on the show?  Will there be other magic users such as Zatanna?  Guess we'll have to wait and find out.

Talk of villians led us to the topic of modern day villians, such as Jeff Bezos.  He appears to be our version of Lex Luthor, bald head and all!  Hopefully, Elon Musk doesn't follow suit and continues to do the cool things he is doing.  Someone will need the resources to take down Bezos, and Elon could be the one to do it.  Speaking of villians, we switched over to the topic of Gifted and some of its high profile characters such as Lorna aka Polaris.  As the daughter of Magneto, will she take on his mantle?  Word is that she will put on the cool Magneto helmet.  Also, can the Strucker dad burn himself with his lava hands?  We talked about whether or not mutants can be effected by their own powers.  What are your thoughts?

Next up we talk about the CW shows, with Arrow still being on top.  Though, how does "evil" Laurel know how to do her job of DA?  She wasnt a lawyer, so is it something anyone can do?  We also talked about Curtis, aka Mr. Terrific, and how terrific his balls are.  His character is starting to get good again.  The other shows have been pretty good, with Black Lightning really turning it up. 

Our featured actor this week was John Ritter, starting with his role in the original IT.  He was a very underappreciated actor and had some really good roles.  Then we were all over the board talking about Agents of Shield, Flash Gordon, and Harry Potter.  Give it a listen and tell us what you think.   

 

Some episodes of Broadcast Geeks are recorded at the Comedy RoomRoom inside of El Charrito at 2104 Larimer Street in the heart of Denver’s ballpark neighborhood. Make sure to visit for brunch on Sunday’s at Denver’s only 5-Star Dive Bar.

Episode 137 - I'm the Man, Stan!

Welcome to Episode 137 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 back in the space inhabited by Sexpot Comedy, right above Mutiny Information Cafe, for another packed episode of geeky goodness.  

The Man known for bringing us many of our favorite Marvel comic book characters, Stan Lee, has finally left this mortal coil.  He passed away on the day we recorded this episode, and we gave him a rightful tribute.  We talked about our favorite characters, his impact on the comic world, and which was his best Marvel movie cameo.  Which is your favorite?  We also talked about the haters out there, those that talk trash about him.  We acknowledge that some people, such as Steve Ditko, might have gotten a raw deal.  No one is perfect, especially Stan Lee, but his contributions cannot be ignored.  

Afterwards, we went to our usual discussions about what we are watching.  Gifted has been pretty great lately, with a loss of a pretty cool character.  The CW shows have been good also, though it is hard to imagine that Arrow is top of the heap again!  Even though it isn't on CW, Sabrina is tied to the universe.  They have been getting some heat lately as the Satanic Temple is suing them over use of a statue.  

Disney is still working on their streaming service, set to release next year.  It sounds like their programming is gonna be pretty nuts!  Star wars shows, Marvel shows featuring Loki and Scarlet Witch.  Sounds like one more service we'll need to be subscribers of!  In the meantime, Disney has new Duck Tales episodes available and they are HIGHLY recommended.  That show is so good for all ages, and hopefully they'll put it on the streaming service.  

Speaking of streaming services, DC Universe has been killing it lately.  The live action Titans show has been a lot of fun, and a little dark.  This last episode introduces a NEW Robin, presumably Jason Todd.  We cannot wait to see how the two Robins interact.  Will Dick finally take on the mantle of Nightwing, or does he still need time?  If you haven't watched the show yet, you really should.  They also introduced the Doom Patrol, who are set to get their own show. 

We finish up with movie talk starting with Creed 2, the next movie in the Rocky universe.  How many Rocky movies does that make it?  We list them all, as well as our favorite parts and also our favorite of the movies.  Do you prefer Rocky 3, with Clubber Lang, or Ivan Drago, in Rocky 4?  We also talk about the next monster movie in the making, Godzilla vs King Kong.  That should be very exciting! 

Some episodes of Broadcast Geeks are recorded at the Comedy RoomRoom inside of El Charrito at 2104 Larimer Street in the heart of Denver’s ballpark neighborhood. Make sure to visit for brunch on Sunday’s at Denver’s only 5-Star Dive Bar.
