On this Black Friday, my two friends Miranda (Frick) and Amanda (Frack) join me to celebrate My Chemical Romance getting back together!

Join David & Ted on another edition of their new "watch-along" series, where they tackle George Miller’s 2015 film Mad Max: Fury Road, starring Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron.

For part 1, we discuss in great length and detail "The Apocalypse Suite", "Dallas", and "Hotel Oblivion", the 3 available volumes of The Umbrella Academy, written by Gerard Way and illustrated by Gabriel Bá. 

In what we hope will be an amazing, long-running segment for the podcast, Ted and I start our watch-along series with John Carpenter's 1978 film "Halloween". This episode works a lot like director commentary for a film. However, you can chose to listen to it either along with the film, or as stand-alone audio. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we loved recording it!

David and Ted FINALLY dive into the 80s horror classic The Thing, directed by the almighty John Carpenter.

On our latest episode of Geek Garage "Goes to the Movies", David and Ted explore the amazing, but sometimes fantastically gross, world of practical effects in film. We start out with a very brief history of practical effects, a few of the specific genres that utilized them, and the eventual evolution of special effects coming into play. Then, we dive into some of the most popular and well-known fi...

Marvel's Phase 4 will be the most ambitious yet. Not only is the MCU dealing with the regular film arsenal, such as origin stories and sequels, but it's also tackling original content in episodic form for Disney+. Between everything coming to theaters and Disney’s new streaming service, there are upwards of 14 titles to look forward to. Today, my wonderful wife Lindsay joins me once again, as we d...

I am Jack's oddly-timed podcast. It's been (almost) 20 years since director David Fincher transformed Chuck Palahniuk’s novel Fight Club into one of the most cult-classic status films of all time. There is much to be said about this movie, albeit not much that hasn’t been said already. And because of that, Ted and I are choosing to focusing on this topic, of Fight Club being a misunderstood master...

We celebrate the Walkman's 40th anniversary by diving into a bit of its history. We also discuss the evolution of portable music as a whole, from the late 70s up until recently. As a warm-up to our main story, we took some time to briefly go over few things that have been in the news recently. These consisted of the Sony/Disney battle for Spider-Man, the announcement of the 4th Matrix film, and th...

We teased toward the end of our previous "Goes To The Movies" episode that we would be covering Tarantino's 9th film "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood". And we have delivered! Since the film has been out for several weeks now, the majority of what can be said about it has probably already been said. However, we did our best to come up with some relatively unique talking points, criticisms, etc. The m...

Aaaaand we're back! Thank you so much to all of you amazing, loyal listeners for hanging on with us during our temporary hiatus. Words simply cannot express how grateful we are for your continued support, especially through trying times! For our first episode back (and very first episode recorded in the new studio!), Ted and I discuss two summer films that we really enjoyed. Midsommar, the sophomo...

RAWR! For our third episode of "Goes To The Movies", Ted and I chat about the latest film in the ever-expanding "Monster" universe with Godzilla: King of The Monsters. This film is definitely not without its faults, which we definitely discuss to an extent. However, this movie is overall a LOT of fun, and would definitely recommend, especially if you're a long-time Godzilla fan! Don't forget to Li...
