Geeks Unleashed

A longer episode, but we touch on just how connected season 1 of AOS is to Winter Soldier . Really great to see both arms of the MCU speaking the same language! It was Jasmin's first time to watch and of the episodes. But you'll have to listen in if you want to see whether or not the Geeks opinions on this film have changed in 11 years!   TRACKLIST: 1:10 - Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 1 Tie In to...

OK, this is getting troublesome. While this movie is still not great, it wasn't as bad as we remembered. Why does this keep happening to the Geeks? Are we caught in some kind of alternate reality as we rewatch the big guns of the MCU? TRACKLIST: 1:43 - Geek of the Week - Mark: Absolute Flash ; Jasmin: Mass Effect 3 (12 year anniversary of 3rd game) 10:54 - Film summary and fun facts 22:32 - Thor:...

Another one... Yet another film that wasn't as bad as when we saw it in 2013! What is happening to the Geeks??? What about you? Has your opinion changed on any of the films we've been covering in our GU Avengers Initiative?   TRACKLIST: 2:40 - Geek of the Week - Jasmin: Leverage (2008); Mark: Last Breath (2025) 13:51 - Film summary and fun facts 24:14 - Iron Man 3 review You can follow us on X , F...

And we've finally made it to our first big team up!! This is the 6th film in the MCU, 5 years after the debut of Iron Man . Four solo films and a sequel has brought us to The Avengers ! What's your guess -- Do you think the Geeks enjoyed this film just as much 12 years later?   TRACKLIST: 1:10 - Geek of the week - Jasmin: Cross (Prime); Mark: Has officially joined Team Android! And also he watched...

Let's take a trip back in time as we get our introduction to the guy who won the hearts of a nation. But first, we have a question for you, listener...

TRACKLIST: 3:28 - MCU Trivia (so far) 18:45 - Film summary and fun facts 25:01 - Captain America: The First Avenger review   You can follow us on X , Facebook and Instagram or if you wo...

Another! Yep, keeping our theme going, here we are taking a look at our first introduction to "aliens" in the MCU!

And we're moving right along with our BIG GUNS series as we make our way (eventually) to Captain America: Brave New World ! The second film from our anchor in this MCU, Mr. Tony Stark. With Iron Man 2 , this film didn't do much to wow us back then and the same holds true now. We feel like this is just a filler film to move us deeper into the MCU. But what do YOU think?   TRACKLIST: 5:47 - Geek of...

Moving right along into the forgotten feature of the MCU, The Incredible Hulk ! This "requel" (both a reboot and a sequel) was miles better than its predecessor from 2003, so how come it remains one of the poorest performing films of the MCU? TRACKLIST: 1:55 - Geek of the Week: Jasmin - Backlight (Lezhin); Mark - The Leftovers 16:14 - Film summary and fun facts 29:27 - The Incredible Hulk (2008) r...

Iron Man !   TRACKLIST: 2:52 - Our BIG plan for 2025! 4:51 - Geek of the Week: Jasmin - As...

We are BACK with our annual holiday special! Yes, that's right. In 2020, we decided we were going to make our Scott Pilgrim reviews a Christmas tradition. So here we are, with vol 5 in the series, Scott Pilgrim: Scott Pilgrim vs The Universe . And we are once again joined by our PCP Bad Batch brother in arms, Rockin' Robbie Billups !   Tracklist: 0:29 - Intro with Rockin' Robbie of Pop Culture Phi...

And thus concludes our 2024 season of "normal" Geeks Unleashed episodes! What a fun, witchy run we've had the past several weeks. We wrap it all up with a surprise favorite from recent TV as we cover the entire Agatha All Along series. With this direct sequel to WandaVision and notes from the fallout of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness , where does this latest Marvel Television series l...

Back to the witches as wizards as we follow up WandaVision with what feels like a direct sequel. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is truly a visual treat as we traverse through all kinds of different universes! But what did the geeks think of the film? Give us a listen to find out!   TRACKLIST: 1:17 - Geek of the Week: Mark - Silo Season 2; Jasmin - Yakuza Fiance (2024 Crunchyroll) 11:2...

We're keeping it witchy/wizardy as we move from Doctor Strange to WandaVision ! Do you remember how talked about this series was when it dropped in 2021? Nerds were suffering from a content drought due to a global pandemic, and this was the first piece of MCU content we'd received in over a year! But how does it hold up now that we've had three years of other Marvel stories? You've got to listen t...

Now it's time to kick off our MCU magic arc! We're starting with Doctor Strange , or as Kaecilius calls him, Mr. Doctor. Have our feelings on this film changed since we first saw it in 2016? You've got to listen to find out!   TRACKLIST: 1:19 - Catching up on life! 9:58 - Geek of the Week - Mark: Fresh (2022); Jasmin: The Mafia Nanny (Webtoon) 16:06 - Film fun facts and summary 28:30 - Doctor Stra...

And we're finally (maybe??) closing out our Skrulls arc! We wrap it up with The Marvels ! The fanbros really did what they could to kill our chances of seeing these three together on screen again. But your Geeks didn't think the hate this film received was at all warranted. What did you think when you saw it?   TRACKLIST: 1:20 - Geek of the Week - Jasmin: Hell's Paradise (2023); Mark - Detective C...

In keeping with our Captain Marvel/Skrulls theme, we're sneaking this Secret Invasion review before we cover the final film in this series (so far)!

Staying with our previous episode, we've come now to cover Carol Danvers' biggest fan: Kamala Khan! Yes, we're tackling Ms. Marvel from 2022 -- and boy oh boy are we glad we waited to cover this one. One of the Geeks did a complete 180 in their opinion from the first time they watched the series two years ago. Can you guess who changed their mind?   TRACKLIST: 1:27 - Geek of the Week - Jasmin: Rom...

It's time to jump into our Skrulls MCU run! We kick it off with Captain Marvel -- which we both agreed that this film got a bunch of hate it absolutely did NOT deserve. Before we get into the film review, the Geeks both talked about falling down the true crime rabbit hole on Netflix. So let's go higher, further, faster by giving this episode a listen! TRACKLIST: 1:24 - Geek of the Week: Jasmin - A...

After an extended hiatus, your Geeks have returned!! Where were we? Totally unbeknownst to us, we both went on cruises! Mark went to France and Jasmin, like the characters in Sweet Tooth , made her way up to Alaska! Don't worry, she didn't see any Hybrids, nor does she have The Sick. ;) But we are back to wrap up this series that we began covering back in 2021!  We first dove into the world of Swe...

We started our adventure into this branch of Marvel allllllllllll the way back in March of this year! And here we are now, 21 episodes later! Thank you so much for taking this ride with us. This block has been in the works for nearly two years over here at Geeks Unleashed, and it's a little bittersweet that it's come to a close. Our "Summer of X" has lasted almost half the year and we couldn't be...

Here we are, nearing the end of the world we've been talking about for most of 2024! In this conversation episode, we're joined by the Geeks Unleashed OG Stephen Fox and our good friend and fellow Bad Batch buddy, Phable from One Collection Down ! We're talking all things X-Men -- from the books that started it all to the the 1992 cartoon to our favorite (and least favorite) films in the franchise...

We continue on with the follow up to last week's film, Deadpool 2 ! Both Geeks had the same beef with this one -- can you guess what it was?   TRACKLIST: 1:16 - Geek of the Week: Mark - Happy Valley ; Jasmin - The Heroine Runs the Show 12:25 - Film summary and fun facts 19:40 - Deadpool 2 review   You can follow us on X , Facebook and Instagram or if you would like to support us you can donate to...
