Geek Mentality

Ever notice in this year's Marchy McFly theme song I say "Comics, Cartoons, and More?" Well, it's time for "More" as today I talk about the 1989 Nintendo Entertainment System game, " Back to the Future " that apparently is based on my favorite movie. If you told me this game was called "Avoid the Bees" that would make more sense. If you're on Spotify, yo...

Happy Wednesday, Time Traveleers! Today I watched another kinda good episode from the first season of Back to the Future: The Animated Series. Today I watched episode 11 from the first season, " Gone Fishin' " and, I dunno - am I delusional or are these getting better?

Merry Christmas Back to the Future fans! Yes, I realize it's March (hence this podcast) but today it feels like Christmas as Doc brings Marty and his family back to old timey England to celebrate the holiday (and escape the warm weather at home) in, " Dickens of a Christmas ." Is this a classic episode of Christmas television? Is this a Christmas special that should be aired yearly? Hm...

Butterfly in the sky....I can go twice as high. Take a look - at a comic book as I'm reading another one! No Animated Series today as I talk about the two stories in " Back to the Future #2: Untold Tales and Alternate Timelines Comic ." I loved reading these when I first got them back in 2016 as a birthday gift (Thank you Cocos!) and I loved reading them again. BUT , towards the end of...

I've had two wishes - two things I wanted to see on this Back to the Future cartoon. First, I want to see the rest of the McFlys (or at least Marty's parents). And second, I want them to go to the future. Well, we haven't met George or Lorraine yet, but FINALLY THE BROWNS TRAVEL TO THE FUTURE in today's episode, the 9th of the series, " Solar Sailors ." See you in the futur...

Play Ball! Today I talk about the eighth episode of the animated series - a baseball centric story titled, " Batter Up ." But I also talk a little bit about a Youtube Video from Propstore that previews some Back to the Future props that are going up for auction in the coming days. They'll be discussing it more in the "Stuff Dreams Are Made Of" livestream tomorrow! JUMPING GIGAW...

Happy Friday, McFly! Today I got back and talk about the animated series - again - only this time the episode had two shorter separate stories, " Time Waits for No Frog " and " Einstein's Adventure ." This episode is coming out just in time for you to listen to it as you drift off to sleepyland. I hope my voice doesn't cause any nightmares...

This sucker's electrical! I wouldn't call today's episode that I talk about "Electric" in the sense that it's anything great - but it does deal with the discovery of electricity so it kinda fits. Today I talk about the 7th episode (Oh man I still have 19 more of these?) of the animated series titled, " Go Fly a Kite ." Wow has it already been one week? We're abo...

A podcast about a comic book about a sci-comedy classic movie. Can it get geekier than that? And believe me - I mean that in a good way. Folks today I take a break from childish cartoons and focus on more mature storytelling as I talk about the two stories in " Back to the Future #1: Untold Tales and Alternate Timelines Comic ." I loved reading these when I first got them back in 2016 as a...

Friends, Romans, Countrymen - and Countrywomen....Welcome back to day 5 of Marchy McFly! Today I watched an...okay episode of the animated series titled, " Roman Holiday ." And while I wasn't all that thrilled with this episode, I am excited that tomorrow we'll be talking about Back to the Future but NOT the animated series....But still listen to this one first!

Happy Monday. Buttheads! I had one more day off before getting back to work so I was able to record today's episode early again. Today I talked about the fourth episode of animated series " Witchcraft " - which travels back to 1600's Salem and continues the talk of at least one character dying. I love family entertainment!

I got BACK IN TIME! I am back from my week long trip with my wife to visit her mom in Florida - and finally Marchy McFly feels like it's ready to take off for our daily venture into this wild "Back to the Future" animated series. Today, I talked about episode 3 of the first season " Forward to the Past " - and wouldn't you know it, another episode featuring death. Fun times...

Happy Saturday Time Team....not sure I like that one. But I did kinda like this episode. It's pretty silly stuff but I am enjoying dissecting it like it's an important part of the Back to the Future canon. Today we travel back to 1300s England with the Brown family in an episode titled, " A Family Vacation ." Speaking of which, my family vacation is ending today. When this episode...

336 days. That's how long it's been since I've backed a future. Since I fluxed a capacitor. Since I marchied a mcfly. 336 long, pointless days just spent with work, family, and friends....but those wasted days are over and we can finally get back to what's important in life - podcasting about Back to The Future for 31 straight days. And sure, this is probably the last year for this...

Back in 2020 I found out that a guy I knew from grammar school and high school was going to be a judge on a reality show. I was already aware that this guy worked for LEGO and was a designer there for years. When I found out he was going to be a judge on this show - I first thought - wow how cool is that? And then I thought - that’s a cool idea for a show. So I immediately started watching and hav...

Happy Almost New Year, everybody! I bet you thought after Christmas you wouldn't be hearing from me again on this podcast until March. So did I, but then I realized - hey I don't have to ALWAYS wait until June to talk about a particular movie. Sometimes, you just can't wait until the next Movie Month. Or maybe you think the movie won't be worth doing during that month. Where does &...

Well. Here we are. Merry Christmas everybody, and welcome back – for the last time this year – to Sitcom All Ye Faithful . It’s just me here for the final episode and once again we’re heading back to Milwaukee to spend time with the Cunninghams and their friends. I want to thank everyone who listened this month – big thanks to everyone who found us on YouTube ! I also want to thank all the guests...

Happy Christmas Eve Tannerinos! Today is the 2nd last episode Sitcom All Ye Faithful for this year and I thought it would be fun to spend the day before Christmas with a fella who I spent many Christmas Eves with growing up – my cousin (and host of the Metallicast Podcast ) Brandon. And much like our old Christmas Eve evenings, we make fun of each other, talk about John Stamos, and laugh our Glads...

Happy Saturday everybody! It's the tail end of Sitcom All Ye Faithful for this year and today I had the pleasure to welcome back my good friend Jason who I discovered (by understanding how calendars work) that I've been friends with for over 29 years. Today we go back to Arlen, Texas to talk King of the Hill for the 2nd straight year – but after we get through talking about that episode th...

Happy Friday everybody and welcome back to the final Friday of Sitcom All Ye Faithful this year! Today we are going back! Back to Dunder Mifflin! Back to the Office! And back to our special co-host Chris who joins us AGAIN for an unprecedented 2nd time this year. Congratulations on the record, Chris! This time around, we went all the way to the final season of the Office to cover their last Christ...

It's the last Thursday of Sitcom All Ye Faithful and I'm back to being all alone again. But fear not adoring fans, after today I have three more guests lined up before I bring it on home for the big day 25 finale – but I'm getting ahead of myself. Today I am going back to 2011 (can't believe that long ago) to get a show that I think – at least around some of my friends – doesn'...

Happy Wednesday everybody and welcome back to Sitcom All Ye Faithful where today I am joined by a regular on the pod and a co-host of the “ Fine Movies. Fine Spirits. ” podcast – good ol’ Chris Morris. You may be asking yourself – wait I thought Chris always talked about an Office Christmas episode!? To that I say – There are still many more days before the 25th gets here….Believe! Believe in the...

Can you believe it's the last Tuesday of Sitcom All Ye Faithful already!? I think it's high time I start bringing in some special guest stars before it's too late! First up, talking some Gimme a Break! festivities is my good friend of over 30 years - Eric ! He's joining Geek Mentality for the seventh time and is backing talking Christmas sitcoms for the third straight year - but fo...

Happy Monday everybody! The last Monday of Sitcom All Ye Faithful before Christmas day! Today I am going back to the early 2000s to revisit a show I remember discovering my senior year of college. As you can see, my future wife and I sure were wild in those days! Show Title: Everybody Loves Raymond Episode Title: “The Thought That Counts” Original Air Date: December 9, 2002 Season: 7 Episode: 11

There’s a new sitcom podcast today and it’s sounding good! Sure I’m biased, but you can trust me. Happy Sunday everybody! Welcome back to day 17 of Sitcom All Ye Faithful where today I travel back to the 70s to go spend time with some waitresses at a diner. A place where dreams can come true and grits can be kissed… Show Title: Alice Episode Title: “Mel, the Magi” Original Air Date: December 23, 1...
