Epically Geeky Show

What if you had the power to bring back a celebrity who died in their prime? What music, movies, books or art would they, could they have gone on to create if only given the chance? What if I told you in order to bring them back you had to take another's like in return? Who would you pick, you know, besides Hitler? This week we resurrect some of our favorite celebrities that died before their time...

One of the best parts of a TV show is the theme song. While most modern TV shows don't have a great theme or at least anything more than a few notes (Lost, Agents of Shield), the shows we grew up watching had awesome ones! This week, we take a trip down memory lane and share some of favorite theme songs; instrumental, lyrical and of course cartoons! The audio is a little off because of Eugene's dr...

Sometimes things fall through the cracks especially when doing a show of some sort. Someone mentions something, an idea is proposed and shelved for another time, etc. It happens to most podcasters and YouTube shows and that includes us. But we're going back and filling in the cracks! This week, the group looks back over the previous 19 episodes and tries to answer those unanswered questions. What...

In honor of Mother's Day, we decided to discuss our favorite TV and movie moms. The ones we wished could have been our mom in another life. Then we talked about the other moms on the spectrum; the ones we can't stand, the ones who have no business raising children. And believe it or not, we even had a few mothers make both lists. Host: Eugene Stephens Guest: Cyrus Martin , Kris Andrew , Ray Andrew...

Tabletop games, to include board games, card games and RPGs are experiencing a renaissance. More and more people are getting hooked on new, in-depth, fun and inventive games and we thought it was time to share our love of them. This week the group, well, Louis and Eugene at least, discuss their memories of playing tabletop games, how they got back into them and some of their favorites. If you love...

It's that time again; time to buy your tickets, grab a dumpster size bucket of popcorn and wash it down with a kiddie pool of soda while watching the summer's biggest blockbusters! But which movie will be #1 at the box office this year? This week the group previews the movies coming out this summer and gives you low down on what movies you should consider putting on your Summer Movie Game ballot....

A coat of arms is used to represent a person's family and lineage. But how could an outdated family coat of arms really represent you in modern times? This week the group creates our own geek coat of arms. Each person was tasked with choosing colors, symbols for the shield, a crest, supports and a motto. The end result is actually a pretty accurate description of our geeky passions. Host: Eugene S...

When it comes to classic video game systems, few consoles evoke as many fond memories as the Sega Genesis. For many of us it was our first introduction to fanboy-ism; the battle line between Genesis and Nintendo was as fearsome as anything you see today. This week we each bring our personal lists of the top 5 Genesis games and combines them into one master list. What game will take the #1 spot? NO...

Those of us who love books have probably dreamt about seeing one of our favorite novels coming to life on the big or small screen at some time. And while some books have been translated masterfully like The Lord of the Rings, others not so much, like Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. This week we take a look at the good and the bad and why the stories we loved so much on the page didn't work out so...

At some point most of us have looked at the available candidates in an election and said, "I'm just voting for the lesser evil." We're testing that theory. This week each member will campaign for a different super villain as we try to figure out who really is the lesser evil. How does Darth Vader come down on abortion? Is Cobra Commander the best candidate to deal with terrorism? What is Mumm-Ra's...

Most comic book geeks have had more debates about which super hero is faster, stronger or would win in a fight than they would care to admit. We're doing just the opposite. Which "super hero" is the biggest idiot? And we're not just talking who has the dumbest powers, which one is literally dumber than a rock? Let's just say, our combatants won't be featured in the Marvel or DC cinematic universes...

Everyone knows and quotes movies and TV shows like Star Wars and The Office. But what about those quotes we throw out that are a little more obscure? When someone says, "...to make a long story short," do you reply, "too late?" Are you constantly, "someone's huckleberry?" This week we share some of the more obscure quotes we pull from and how we use them to suss out the other cool kids around us....

TaleSpin used pre-existing characters in the Disney universe and tweeked them to fit into a cartoon adaptation of a movie / TV show. So we thought we would do the same. Using characters from Disney's vast catalog (Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, Muppets, etc.) we adapt them to fit into other movies and TV shows thus creating The New Disney Afternoon! Everyone on the show is a geek about something, and...

Some flavors just go together like peanut butter and jelly or popcorn and butter. But someone had to be brave and try them for the first. This week we discuss some odd food pairings and whether or not we would or would not try them, why and if we have tried them in the past. We also share some of our own personal odd food pairings with the group. One member says yes to everything, one says no to e...

We all know Valentine's Day is a commercial holiday. Well, most if not all holidays are now commercial holidays. So we decided to come up with some new geeky holidays we can celebrate with those we love... and have an excuse to stay home and watch Netflix in our pajamas! Host: Eugene Stephens Guest: Cyrus Martin , Lanie Moore Like the show? Do us a favor and rate / review the show on iTunes, Stitc...

Most of us grew up playing with action figures of one sort or another... and they were awesome. Some of us continue to collect them to this day. So it's no surprise that most people would love to have an action figure of themself; the question is, what would it be like? This week we decide on how our action figures would look, what they would say, what accessories they would come with, what vehicl...

Saturday mornings used to be awesome! Get up early, grab a big bowl of your favorite sugary cereal and watch cartoons all morning long. This week the crew drafts our ultimate Saturday morning cartoon teams as well as our favorite cereals. Once a show or cereal is picked its gone so who will curse their opponents for stealing Darkwing Duck away? Also, we manage to blow Cy's mind repeatedly shaking...

Ever watch a movie trailer and think, "How did they come up with this? It's like they threw darts at a board of ideas." We have too so we thought we would give it a try. We rolled 3 dice and combined classic movie monsters, genres and different media types to crate some "interesting" ideas. Who's in to see the new Seth Rogan comedy starring the Creature from the Black Lagoon? Hosts: Eugene Stephen...

It's 2016 and with a new year comes New Year's goals. So with that the group sat down and shared our geeky goals for 2016. Losing weight and getting in better shape is fine, but what are you going to do to become a better geek? Here are the five questions we asked ourselves: What is something you plan to start? What is something you plan to finish? What is something you want to learn / improve? Wh...

When did December become the ideal time to drop new movie trailers? Instead of discussing our thoughts on the trailers or even the movies themselves, we've come up with some questions inspired by them... if that makes sense. In honor of the H8tful Eight, what celebrity do you hate most? Who's smarter: Batman or Superman? Host: Cyrus Martin Guests: Jason Horn , Mannon Martin Like the show? Do us a...

Which is the better super power: flight or invisibility? Which would you rather be turned into: a werewolf or a vampire? Which is better: Taco Tuesday or Pizza Friday? This week we discuss these and many other important life questions. Host: Eugene Stephens Guests: Cyrus Martin , Jason Horn , Kris Andrew Like the show? Do us a favor and rate / review the show on iTunes, Stitcher or where ever you...

While the death of Spock from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn is a great, iconic scene, it doesn't really make you think of Christmas does it? But Hallmark made it into an ornament anyway. This week the crew comes up with our own lists of other geeky scenes from movies, TV and books that really shouldn't be made into ornaments. Host: Eugene Stephens Guests: Cyrus Martin , Jason Horn , Bryan Stephe...
