Epically Geeky Show

Its 2016 and the two hottest toys everyone is clamoring to get their hands on are Hatchimals and the NES?!? Well, the NES Classic to be exact. 30 years after Nintendo debuted their flagship gaming console and changed the world, they have managed to make it one of the most sought after items on the market... AGAIN. To celebrate the resurgence of Nintendo fever, we're counting down our top 5 NES gam...

On episode 1, we came up with some truly horrible Hallmark ornaments. This time we're taking the high road and coming up with some awesome ornaments we like to see on our Christmas trees. Since it was just "The Three Stooges" on this week's show, we also wondered a bit in our conversations and discussed our thoughts on the state of geeky properties. Time the deck the halls with epicness! Host: Eug...

It's the holidays so you know what that means, Charlie Brown specials. While most of Chuck's holiday specials are considered classics, let's face it, they are a little dated. Like, a lot dated. So with that in mind the group gets together and comes up with some ideas for new, more modern specials. What happens when the kids grow up and enter middle school... and puberty? What about gay marriage? H...

Remember when Scooby Doo met Batman & Robin? And the Harlem Globetrotters? And John Cena? In the spirit of those great cross over episodes, the group came up with a few cross overs we would like to see. We're getting our peanut butter all mixed up in our chocolate and hopefully producing some epic cross overs of our own. What happens when the Ninja Turtles meet the Power Rangers? When Scooby a...

Have you ever listened to the cold open, the little snippet at the beginning of every episode, and thought "I wonder what led to that conversation?" If so, this week's episode is for you. Instead of a regular, structured episode we're giving you the raw feed, warts and all as it were. So sit back and enjoy a wondering conversation about... whatever. Host: Cyrus Martin Guest: Eugene Stephens , Ray...

This week Cyrus goes mostly solo as he does a live show on YouTube with a chat room. The problem is without some of the rest of the crew, he runs out of Halloween related topics and begins to answer questions about, well, anything. Eventually Eugene, Ray and even Louis show up to save the day. If you love Cyrus, this is the episode for you! Host: Cyrus Martin Guest: Eugene Stephens , Ray Andrew ,...

Do you remember playing the NES versions of Nightmare on Elm St. and Friday the 13th? Whether you liked them or not you have to admit they had very little to do with the actual movies but what did you expect from only being 8-bit? This week we turn modern horror movies into NES "classics." What would Saw look like on the NES and how would it play? Would you have rented the 28 Days Later at Blockbu...

We continue our month long Halloween celebration by giving some classic children's books and fairy tales a little monstrous flare. Think Pride and Prejudice and Zombies but for your kids. What happens if you give a Rancor a Jedi? Could the Little Engine survive a zombie horde? How would Dracula get you to eat green eggs and ham? All of these questions will be answered plus Cy gives many of these f...

As Lanie would say, "it's the most wonderful time of the year." To kick off our month of Halloween, the group got together and shared our personal ghost stories. While some of us have never had a paranormal experience, others have been through hauntings, a possible exorcism and even a full on poltergeist. Grab your blanket and a flashlight, turn out the lights and let's tell some ghost stories. NO...

Summer is over which means blockbuster season is also over at the theaters. Just kidding. With movies like Rogue One, Fantastic Beasts and Doctor Strange on the horizon, the fall and winter movie season is going to be just as hot as the summer. So make sure you enter the Fall / Winter Movie Draft ASAP. To help decide which movies to draft, in this week's episode we draft the movies and discuss our...

The 2016 summer movie season is over which means the Summer Movie Game has also come to a close. This year was very underwhelming for many movies, like Ben-Hur and The BFG, while others did quite well, like Finding Dory and Captain America. This week we discuss the movies we saw, the movies we wanted to see and a few we wish we hadn't. If you missed getting in on the game back in May, don't worry,...

As a group, we have a wide range of geeky interest, talents and hobbies. We also have a broad spectrum of things we would like to know more about. This week we share some of out geeky aspirations; things we would like to explore like astrology, welding, sewing and comic book collecting. Host: Eugene Stephens Guest: Cyrus Martin , Lanie Moore , Jason Horn , Kris Andrew , Ray Andrew , Andrew Parker...

So when you're not listening to the Epically Geeky Show or watching it on YouTube, what other podcasts and web series are you watching? This week the group shares some of our favorite podcasts, YouTube channels and web series. If you're looking for shows on everything from prop making to geeky music, Disney park news to retro video game consoles and everything in between, we've got you covered. So...

Have you ever sat around with your friends and determined who would be who in a given movie? Sure you have, everyone does. This week, it's our turn. We chose some classic geeky movies and as a group, figured out who would play who... even the members that didn't make it on the show. So who would Cy and Eugene be in Star Wars? What characters best reflect Lanie and Kris in Lord of the Rings? Which...

The medals have been awarded, the torch has been extinguished and the 2016 Summer Olympics have come to a close. Several Olympic and world records were broken and mankind has tested the boundaries of what is physically possible... at least for us mere mortals. But if super beings were allowed to compete, it would be a whole different game. This week we discuss which heroes and villains we would li...

This episode was recorded in front of a live studio audience. And by live studio audience, we mean the one random guy that wondered in while we were doing the show and the awesome group that were watching the live stream on Cy's YouTube channel. So it still counts! We go back to an old favorite and ask some more geeky either or questions. So which Star Wars vehicle did our crew choose to pilot; a...

Now that we have a good 1/2 year under our belt, its time to start going back and revisiting some of our favorite topics. This week we set up our dice and assign a new set of ingredients to create more awesome mash ups. So what happens when you combine fast food mascots and day time talk show hosts in classic buddy cop scenarios? Hit play and find out for yourself. Host: Eugene Stephens Guest: Cyr...

House hunting shows are all the rage. Tiny houses, vacation houses, houses in foreign countries most people would never consider. So we decided to do a little house hunting ourselves... but in fictional universes. Given the choice, would you choose a family friendly fixer-upper like the The Burrow which is zoned for a great school like Hogwarts or perhaps a roomy castle in the Mushroom Kingdom wit...

Waiting in line. There have been countless studies done on the psychological effects standing in line has on a person and they all say it sucks. But some times it doesn't. Some times you get to know the people around you and waiting for those tickets or item to go on sale becomes part of the experience. This week we share our fondest memories of waiting in lines to get new games consoles, movie an...

Everything old is new again. Last year Jurassic Park came back to life with a sequel, Ghostbusters is getting a reboot this year and filming on a new Power Rangers has started. This week the group proposes some of our favorite properties and we decide if we would like to see the rebooted, remade or have a sequel. Look its the title of the show! What would you do with The Black Hole, The A-Team and...

This past weekend our friends up north celebrated Canada Day as we celebrated Independence Day. To get in the spirit we discussed our favorite patriotic movie scenes, US and Canadian, and why they stir our feelings of pride in our countries. Needless to say, Canadians view patriotism a little different than US citizens do; a lot less explosions are involved. So display your Union Jack and Old Glor...

The term "man cave" conjures images of game and movie rooms with recliners, pool tables and sports memorabilia. But a geek lair can be... anything. It might be a bedroom filled with video games systems, an office stuffed full of movie posters and action figures or even a kitchen with awesome baking utensils. This week we discuss our geek lairs; what we have, what we collect, and the things we woul...

In honor of Father's Day, we decided to discuss our favorite TV and movie dads just like we did for dear old mom. We also discussed some of the worst from the dead beats who weren't there to the ones who are straight up psycho! And just like with the Mother's Day episode, there was a debate as to which list some of the dads should be on... imagine that. Host: Eugene Stephens Guest: Cyrus Martin ,...

You've heard us make mention of it several times on the show, but what exactly is the Guys' Weekend? This week we did a show from of own little annual event to explain how it started, what we do and some of the crazy things that have happened. Just imagine a grown-up version sleep-overs you had in middle school... but with less Jolt cola and more booze. Host: Eugene Stephens Guest: Cyrus Martin ,...

Dressing up in a costume used to be for kids on Halloween and actors at amusement parks. But cosplay has really taken off in the past decade due to conventions and the fact geek is chic now. This week, we share our memories of costumes we wore as kids, costumes we've made and the ones we would love to wear one day. All it takes is a little imagination, a little skill with a glue gun and sewing nee...
