Epically Geeky Show

When you think of geeking out over something, you probably think of movies, TV shows, books, video games, etc. You know, the traditional geeky things. But geeking out simply means to get really into something. By that definition, you could geek out about almost anything. This week we share the things we geek out over that don't fall under the normal categories... like plants, wood working and BBQ....

While Rogue One was the first "non episode" Star Wars movie, it did tie directly into the timeline. Solo is the first movie from the franchise that focuses on a particular character and does not tie in directly to the main series. The movie is marred with a change in director, a lot of reshoots and a general sense that "no one asked for this." With all that said, how was it? This week we share our...

It's the last time you will ever eat a fast food hamburger. So, what will you have? This week we share our ultimate fast food burger meal. Everyone must pick a burger, fries, alternate side, drink / shake & dessert. The catch? Only one item is allowed from a franchise. Who's burger would you pair with who's fries and so on? Host: Eugene Stephens Guests: Kris Andrew Like the show? Do us a favor...

Cheers had Frasier, Friends had Joey and The Cosby Show had A Different World. Spin-off TV shows have been around forever; some good and some not so much. This week we're creating our own sitcom spin-offs using characters from sitcoms we loved and building a world around them. Host: Eugene Stephens Guests: Ray Andrew , Kris Andrew Like the show? Do us a favor and rate / review the show on iTunes,...

After 10 years and 18 movies, Marvel has unleashed Infinity War upon us. Based loosely on the comic series of the same name, we get to see almost every character in the MCU on screen together as they face off against Thanos in an attempt to stop him from completing the Infinity Gauntlet. So what did we think? There was a lot to digest in this movie and, much like the current Star Wars movies, has...

It's funny how the first and or last time we do or experience something seems to stay with us. Our first kiss. Our last day at a job. And the same is true for many pop culture items as well. This week we "borrow" a topic from the guys at Nerd Lunch and reminisce about some of our fondest first and last. Host: Eugene Stephens Guests: Lanie Moore , Kris Andrew , Ray Andrew Like the show? Do us a fav...

Mini golf has been entertaining families and couples for decades and has become a mainstay in American pop culture. While some courses are fairly simple offering a few concrete obsticles and the occassional hill to put up, others incorparate moving parts, sound effects and light shows. This week we're creating our own mini golf course based on our favorite pop culture properties. Could you get the...

The end of an era is upon us; Toys R Us is closing its doors for good. This week, we pay tribute to possibly the last of the giant stores by drafting toy lines for our own ultimate toy store. Our magic supplier is allowing us to draft toy lines throughout history! Who will get the G1 Transformers? What about 1980's Barbies? Which line of TMNT action figures will get drafted first? Host: Eugene Ste...

We live in golden age of television. Comic book and sci-fi movies dominate the movie theaters. There are three killer consoles on the market. So it's no wonder we can't keep up. Trying to stay up on all of this amazing pop culture is a full time job. But there are some TV shows, movies and games we really should have made time for. This week we share our own personal lists of media we cringe telli...

Cartoons allow story tellers to bend reality so they can express themselves without limitations... like gravity. A lot of cartoons exist in a semi-realistic world but take liberties with one particular aspect and twist it to meet their needs. But how is it logical for one animal to talk but not others? Why does everyone else have a job to purchase things but the main character seemingly gets every...

Dating is hard. Fact is it used to be easier; either your parents would arrange who you were going to be married to or you just found something who lived in the same neighborhood, building or town. Now with sites like eHarmony and apps like Tinder, there are a ton of choices... perhaps too many! And even if you have algorithms and GPS to help you find someone, does being a geek help? This week we...

2018 is here! And even though we haven't even had time to get through all of the great media in 2017, we're already looking forward to the awesome stuff to come this year. From Avengers: Infinity War to Jurassic World: Lost Kingdom, Far Cry 5 to Red Dead Redemption 2, Cloak & Dagger to West World; there is a lot of good stuff dropping this year and we're sharing our lists of the things we can'...

2017 is now in the rear view mirror as we speed ahead into 2018. While the year was hit or miss for many people, it did give us quite a few enjoyable things to take our minds off of reality. This week we share our lists of the best media from 2017 including everything from books, movies, TV shows, video games, podcasts and YouTube Shows. Host: Eugene Stephens Guests: Lanie Moore , Jennifer Hetzel...

I love the fact we are able to make talking about a new Star Wars movie part of our holiday tradition here on the show. This week we discuss our thoughts on Star Wars The Last Jedi. Yes, we are going to spoil everthing in this movie so if you have not seen it yet please do not listen to this episode yet. But after you do and you feel the need to talk about it, fire up this episode and lets dig in....

What it is with Harry Potter some people are so in love with? Why are some people all about cosplaying everything under the sun? Can we please stop with the Pokemon thing? Even if you're a well-rounded geek, there are some things you're either not into or just don't get. This week we explore those things that we just can't get behind or aren't into. Host: Eugene Stephens Guests: Lanie Moore , Andr...

Previously on the Epically Geeky Show we had fun rebooting, remaking and creating sequels to movies we enjoyed. This time we assign each other TV shows to do the same thing with. What would an Addams Family reboot look like? What about a Freaks & Geeks remake? Should Firefly get a sequel? Find out now! Host: Eugene Stephens Guests: Kris Andrew, Ray Andrew , Lanie Moore , Andrew Parker Like the...

Geek is chic now and while showing your nerdy side has become more acceptable in public, some people still get crap about it. One such group are female geeks, especially online. This week we're discussing what it's like to have grown up being a geeky girl, how it's effected your life and the benefits and drawbacks of letting your geeky side show. Host: Eugene Stephens Guests: Jennifer Hetzel , Cos...

Halloween means lots of things to lots of different people. Some people think it's all about the cosplay. Some just want the candy. For a good number of people it's about horror movies. This week we're making our list of the 5 scariest movies. Host: Eugene Stephens Guests: Jason Horn, Chris Lake Like the show? Do us a favor and rate / review the show on iTunes, Stitcher or wherever you get your po...

It's the most wonderful time of the year! At least for Lanie and Kris it is. This week we discuss our favorite Halloween things; movies, TV shows, music, activities and of course candy. So fire up your copy of Hocus Pocus or crank up Michael Jackson's Thriller and start sifting through the kids' candy for "the good stuff." Host: Eugene Stephens Guests: Lanie Moore , Kris Andrew Like the show? Do u...

We love conventions! The vendors. The speakers. The cosplayers. But after awhile, they all kinda start to run together. This week we're creating a drinking game about them. See a Deadpool, take a drink. Celebrity has a melt down, everyone drink. This will either be epic or kill you... lets find out. Host: Eugene Stephens Guests: Cosplay Meg Like the show? Do us a favor and rate / review the show o...

What things do kids tell us they want to be when they grow up? Fire fighter, astronaut, teacher. And those are fine jobs with thought out courses to teach you what you need to know. But what about jobs that are a little more specialized like dinosaur, Optimus Prime or pirate? This week we attempt to come up with the course work and specializations needed to get those highly sought after jobs. Host...

We're live at Geekfest 2017 at Central Texas College in Killeen, TX. It's time for another awesome game of Geeky Either OR questions and hopefully we can grab some of the festival attendees to give their answers as well. Would you rather live in a steam punk utopia or the 50's version of the future? Host: Eugene Stephens Guests: Lanie Moore , Andrew Parker, Jennifer Hetzel Special Guest: Jonathan...

The Canadians were here! The Canadians were here! Last week Eugene's wife surprised him with an early birthday party and we got to meet Kris, Ray and their kids for the first time. We were too busy showing them Texas stuff that we didn't get a show done last week. So this week we're discussing what we did and all the things we shared. Grab some poutine and some Whataburger and dig in. Host: Eugene...

New Star Wars land! New Doctor Who! New Ghostbusters! It's like geek Christmas. And between all of the news coming out of D23 and San Diego Comic Con, it basically was. This week the group takes a break from our stand format to discuss all of the stuff that was announced this past week. Between the trailers, toys and comics books we have quite a few opinions, hopes and fears to get off our chests....

What happens when you take the matching last and first words in two different movie titles and combine them to make a new movie? The Name Game of course! This week we'll take turns and describe the plot of the new combined movie in the hopes the others can firgure out the title. A woman, left for dead, trains to become an assassin and seeks vengence on her former lover and his time-traveling best...
