Send us Fan Mail Green Lantern should be huge, cosmic, and loud, right? HBO Max’s Lanterns goes the other way, and that’s exactly why we can’t stop talking about it. We break down how the DCU turns Hal Jordan and John Stewart into the center of a rural, grounded mystery that plays like a detective story with a power ring, not a space opera with endless lore dumps. We get into the most controversia...

Send us Fan Mail Resident Evil (2002) is dumb fun, but does that make it a good Resident Evil movie? We’re heading back to the early 2000s to revisit Paul W.S. Anderson’s video game adaptation, and we’ve got some thoughts. Between the Umbrella Corporation, the Red Queen, zombie dogs, and that absolutely brutal laser hallway, there’s plenty to talk about. But for a movie based on a franchise known...

Send us Fan Mail When a movie is this iconic, it’s easy to quote it and never really look at what’s on the screen. We hit play on Ghostbusters (1984) and try to answer a tougher question: does it still work in 2026, or are we just running on nostalgia and a perfect theme song? We talk through why the original Ghostbusters remains a comfort watch and a legit piece of smart blockbuster craft. The mi...

Send us Fan Mail Aang is back, and we’re heading straight into the world of Avatar! We’re diving into Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender and breaking down the latest adventure in the Avatar universe. From the return of familiar characters and the world of bending to the story, animation, and everything in between, we’re talking about what works, what doesn’t, and whether this new chapter lives up to...

Send us Fan Mail Marty McFly in the Wild West sounds like a gimmick until you rewatch Back to the Future Part III and realize it’s doing something the trilogy hadn’t tried yet: slowing down. We talk through why that pace shift matters, how the 1885 setting changes the whole vibe, and why Part III might be more satisfying than people give it credit for, even when the villains get a little more camp...

Send us Fan Mail Jack Sparrow is back, and this time he owes Davy Jones a very big debt. We’re diving into Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest and talking about everything that makes this sequel so much fun. Jack Sparrow, Davy Jones, the Kraken, Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann, and plenty of pirate chaos. We get into the movie’s wild action, creepy creatures, hilarious moments, and some of the...

Send us Fan Mail Green Lantern (2011) has a reputation that hits before the opening credits, so we did the only fair thing: we rewatched it and talked it out like movie nerds with long memories. Along the way, we detour through real life updates, including a genuinely wild parenting discovery where a single voice command and the right song can calm a crying newborn in minutes, plus a quick run of...

Send us Fan Mail Mortal Kombat (1995) isn’t exactly a “great” movie. But man, is it fun. We’re going back to the 90s for a full nostalgia-fueled look at the movie that gave us memorable characters, ridiculous fights, and one of the greatest video game movie theme songs ever. We talk arcade culture, trading fatality codes, Johnny Cage’s ridiculous charisma, Raiden, Shang Tsung, and the things that...

Send us Fan Mail Nolan turns one of the oldest adventure stories into a modern IMAX gut punch, and we have a lot of feelings about it. We start with some real life chaos, including newborn sleep shifts, late-night watches, and the odd comfort of slipping back into games like Final Fantasy when your schedule makes no sense. From there, we pivot into The Odyssey, the Homeric epic that basically taug...

Send us Fan Mail SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY — FULL SPOILER REVIEW Spider-Man: Brand New Day gives Peter Parker a fresh start—but that doesn't mean things get any easier. After No Way Home, Peter is alone, forgotten by the people he loves, and fully committed to being Spider-Man. We go FULL SPOILERS on what that new life means and whether Brand New Day really feels like the beginning of a new e...

Send us Fan Mail Is the new Masters of the Universe the He-Man movie fans have been waiting for? The 2026 Masters of the Universe movie takes a big swing at bringing He-Man into live action, but does it actually work? We’re breaking down Prince Adam’s journey to Earth, Skeletor’s very particular brand of evil, Alison Brie’s Evil-Lyn, Idris Elba, and the movie’s surprisingly weird sense of humor. W...

Send us Fan Mail Bruce Willis drives a flying cab, Leeloo crashes into his life, and somehow McDonald’s is still around in the far future. This week on Project Geekology, we revisit The Fifth Element to see if this sci-fi classic still holds up. We talk about what makes the movie so memorable, from its unique futuristic world and practical effects to its unforgettable cast. We break down Bruce Wil...

Send us Fan Mail Animated fantasy gets thrown into a lot of different categories, but The Legend of Vox Machina stands out from the crowd. We break down Season 1, talking about its over-the-top action, surprisingly brutal violence, crude humor, and the emotional moments that make it all work. We also discuss how well the series captures the feeling of a real D&D campaign, from the established...

Send us Fan Mail A murder mystery where the sharpest minds belong to a flock of sheep sounds like a joke, until “Sheep Detectives” somehow turns it into a genuinely cozy, surprisingly satisfying whodunit. We walk through what makes the premise work: a shepherd named George (Logan) dies, and the animals he cared for try to piece together the truth using the logic of the murder novels he used to rea...

Send us Fan Mail Something felt off at Florida SuperCon 2026 and I wanted to say it out loud, carefully and honestly. I’m Anthony, flying solo for this mini episode while Dakota and Jenn take time to welcome their new son, and I’m using this buffer week to catch you up and then dig into my press-pass weekend at the biggest comic convention in South Florida. SuperCon still has a place in my heart....

Send us Fan Mail Civilization doesn’t fade out. It collapses at 2 AM. Anything with a roof becomes a death trap, and the only “safe” option is a doorway into a world dungeon run by aliens who package human survival as binge-worthy reality TV. We’re unpacking Dungeon Crawler Carl (Book 1, Floors 1 and 2) and why it lands as both laugh-out-loud comedy and genuinely unsettling post-apocalyptic sci-fi...

Send us Fan Mail Pink Godzilla taking power naps in the Coliseum should not work as well as it does, and yet here we are. We’re breaking down Godzilla X Kong The New Empire as a MonsterVerse movie that finally stops pretending it’s above the toybox and instead leans hard into kaiju camp, bold visuals, and monster character work you can read on a face and a stance. If you want a spoiler-heavy podca...

Send us Fan Mail Two giant icons enter the ring, and the internet instantly turns into a tribal debate: giant lizard or big monkey. We’re Project Geekology, and we go deep on Godzilla vs. Kong (2021) with the exact mix this movie deserves: hype for the Titan fights, genuine appreciation for the best MonsterVerse worldbuilding, and zero fear of calling out the plot when it gets wobbly. We talk abou...

Send us Fan Mail A Star Wars movie is back in theaters, and we walk out with the most predictable outcome possible: all of us have opinions. Mandalorian And Grogu gives us a big-screen dose of Din Djarin, Grogu cuteness, and creature-driven chaos, but it also raises a real question about what a theatrical Star Wars film should feel like in 2026. Are we here for a simple, rewatchable adventure, or...

Send us Fan Mail Achilles doesn’t want peace, he wants a name that survives him, and Troy (2004) builds its entire engine around that hunger. We come at this rewatch from two angles: some of us grew up with it on heavy DVD rotation, and some of us are seeing it for the first time and wondering why critics ever dismissed a movie with this much scale, sweat, and practical fire on screen. With Christ...

Send us Fan Mail Godzilla doesn’t just fight monsters in Godzilla: King of the Monsters. He fights our attention spans, our nostalgia, and a human plot that sometimes feels like it was written by a committee of eco-terrorists and stressed-out scientists. We lean into all of it, because the MonsterVerse is at its best when it’s loud, mythic, and just a little ridiculous. We start with Rich’s Monste...

Send us Fan Mail Darth Maul isn’t scary because he’s loud. He’s scary because he sounds like he believes every bitter thing he says. We sit down to unpack Maul Shadow Lord and why this animated Star Wars series feels so focused, so tense, and so intentionally crafted that it demands your full attention. We talk about the look first: hand-painted backgrounds, textured character art, and cinematic f...

Send us Fan Mail What happens when you take cartoon chaos and drop it into a gritty detective story that actually works? Who Framed Roger Rabbit might be one of the boldest movie swings of the last 40 years, blending slapstick cartoon madness with a noir mystery in a way that still feels surprisingly smart. We head to Maroon Studios and Cloverleaf Studios to break down why this 1988 classic still...

Send us Fan Mail The Super Mario Bros Movie is the kind of film that can make you feel eight years old again and also make you ask, “Wait, is that all it wanted to be?” We jump into our full review with the stuff that matters to longtime Nintendo fans: the decision to start Mario and Luigi in Brooklyn, the joy of seeing the Mushroom Kingdom in crisp modern animation, and the constant stream of ref...

Send us Fan Mail You know the map, the mechanics, even the twist and still you hit “New Game.” So why do we keep replaying the same games? Anthony breaks down the psychology behind it and why it feels so satisfying, soothing, and sometimes irresistible. We explore four key reasons: comfort gaming that reduces stress and gives a sense of control, the pursuit of mastery in challenging games, the app...
