Episode 249 - Going Monkey on a Frog

Welcome to Episode 249 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.  

Grab your socks, have we got a banger of an episode!  Nate Balding is back to drop some comic book knowledge on all of us, and he joins us as we discuss The Batman.  We focus mainly on the movie, though how can you not discuss ALL of Bat lore.  The movie was well received by all of us, and it was not without faults.  Pattinbat's Bruce Wayne was a tad too emo but his Batman was pretty solid.  The detective takes front and center in the movie and that is always refreshing.  Will there be another trilogy?  What villains are we hoping to get in any future installments?  Listen and find out the answers to both of those questions, if you dare.

Have you seen Pam & Tommy yet?  Apparently, it is a real banger and it stars Sebastian Shlong.  Wait, is that right?  Jake would say yes to all that so it must be true!  Speaking of new content, it seems Apple+ might now be at a point where there is plenty of options to justify getting it.  The Righteous Gemstones gets plenty of play in its usual slot on the pod as Mitch and Jake go over some of the gruesome details from the show.  Spiderman ends us off because there are questions about the movie, and all the little differences between the Spidermen.

Another week has gone by and we are STILL talking about Peacemaker.  We know there will be a second season, though we know nothing about it yet.  Will Amanda Waller retaliate for what her own daughter did?  Will that effect the team? Does Vigilante have abilities that we don't explicitly know about?  I guess time will tell.  Next, we talked about local legend, Sam Tallent, and his book that's sweeping the nation.  It's called Running the Light, and its about a stand up comic that travels the country do shows and apparently being a terrible person.  And it's not self referential!  Lastly, we talked about the King's Man, and Mitch gave us the breakdown of it.  Do you like the series?  If so, let us know!

We talk This Week in Geek, which should be a new segment on our show!  Right around the Peacemaker season final (which was great!!) we find out there will be a season 2.  Eagly be Praised!  The last episode had some cool cameos and great story, and marks a new beginning for our ragtag group of heroes.  Looking forward to that next season.  On the other side of the comics pond, we talk about the new Dr. Strange movie, which just had a new trailer released.  We see characters we know, we hear voices we recognize, all of which gets us pumped for the movie.  We throw all kinds of speculation out there, as we are wont to do.  What are your thoughts?

Despite what's happening in the world, its really down to 3 things: Boba Fett, Peacemaker, and the Righteous Gemstones.  John Goodman might have to change his name to Deadman after whats happened on the show!  Boba Fett also bringing out some major players from other Star Wars shows, such as Cad Bane.  Lots of reaction to how he looked, and whether it was accurate to the show...how did you think he looked?  Lastly, everyone's favorite non superhero show, Peacemaker, is getting more intense.  James Gunn is definitely proving himself to be a major presence in the comic book world of TV and film.  Is there anything he cannot do well?

The Book of Boba Fett, aka Mandalorian 2.5, is getting more exciting with each week.  Beloved characters making their way back and new characters making waves.  It seems that they are blending the two shows together at some point because Mando is getting a lot of screen time. What's up with that Wookie, and his aggression??  We see him commit hate crimes!  Peacemaker continues to be the most fun show to watch currently, with very likeable characters.  Eagly might be the best mascot ever.  Watch this show as quickly as possibly and prepare for the inappropriate humor.

Peacemaker is the show to watch, with John Cena shining as the title character.  Its vulgar and crude, and full of laughs and they just dropped Batmite, so there's that!  We speculate who would be best for that diminutive role.  Meanwhile, on a planet called Tatooine, we learn more about Boba Fett and his adventures as the regional Daimyo.  We finish up by jumping into the televangelical world of Righteous Gemstones.

Piper Shepherd joins us this week, with all kinds of opinions on Righteous Gems, much to Mitch's delight.  We discuss talent coming from SNL during it's lifetime and which era had the best ensemble, other than the Phil Hartman years.  We also talk Peacemaker, which is so much fun to watch.  John Cena plays the role perfectly, better than in the movie!

JD Lopez joins us this week, as where the title of our episode comes from.  While we discuss the MCU with him, he asks us the important questions...such as our bottom 3 films.  Is it easier to name our bottom 3 than our top 3?  After, we dive a bit into the Vel Johnson-verse, where his character from Die Hard is the cop in Family Matters.  What other shows get tied in?

The day we've all been dreading has finally come upon us.  Betty White has passed away, RIP Betty White.  We lament over her passing, before we talk the usual stuff.  Like Hit Monkey, which marveled all the way to the last episode!  Meanwhile, in other parts of the mouse house, Boba Fett is becoming a power house as a Daimyo on Tatooine.  We get to see what happened to the bounty hunter after escaping the Sarlac pit and hanging with the Tuskens.
