Geek Mentality

God I love this show. I can’t believe this episode is already 11 years old. So much fun, which so much heart and a lot of laughs. This show is about as Christmasy as it gets! It’s basically a Christmas Special within a Christmas Special! TROY AND ABED IN STOP MOTION! Show Title : Community Episode Title : “ Abed’s Uncontrollable Christmas “ Year: 2010 Season: 2 Episode: 11

Today I watched my first ever episode of “The Andy Griffith Show” – at least I think it’s the first time I’ve seen it. Funny to see Matlock and Mr. Furley working together when they were younger. Today was also the first episode that I legit teared up. It happened and I am not ashamed to admit it. I embrace it even. It’s that time of year! Show Title : The Andy Griffith Show Episode Title : “ The...

Twas the Night Court Before Christmas and while poems may be corny, I had to rhyme something with Dan being so horny. Welcome to day 7 everybody! I had this idea to write a poem, but kept getting stuck, so I figured heck at least leave the corny/horny line in. Fun for the whole family! Today I talk about the 1988 Christmas episode of Night Court, a fun show that I didn’t realize how much I missed...

I'm supposed to believe that this guy who I know for a fact runs an inn in Vermont used to be a psychiatrist in Chicago? Okay, I guess I can suspend my disbelief for a half-hour and enjoy a fun episode of "The Bob Newhart Show" - another program that I should know more about and should watch more but never have - maybe someday....Happy Merry Monday! Show Title : The Bob Newhart Show Ep...

Laverne & Shirley will always go down as one of THE staple shows of my childhood. Do I remember every single episode? No chance – but it is one of the few shows that takes me back to being a little kid growing up in late 70s and early 1980s. And this Christmas Episode from 1976 was a GREAT watch that is highlighted by a fantastic performance by Lenny & The Squigtones. Show Title : Laverne...

What you talkin’ bout, Christmas!? That’s right kids, we’re back to 1982 to spend time with Arnold, Willis, and those white people with a fun episode of Diff’rent Strokes that features the great Garrett Morris as a Santa/Grinch – and don’t worry, little Sam is nowhere to found. Show Title : Diff’rent Strokes Episode Title : “ Santa’s Helper “ Year: 1982 Season: 5 Episode: 12

From new heartwarming family series – to this. One of the most consistently funny shows of all time brings together the best and worst (mostly worst) of Christmas in a the only way they know how – dysfunctionally. Show Title : It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia Episode Title : “ A Very Sunny Christmas “ Year: 2010 Season: 6 Episode: 13

For today’s entry into our holiday Sitcom spectacular, we go back even further into the 60’s to a classic sitcom that I sadly have never actually seen an episode of – until now! Merry Holidays! Show Title : The Dick Van Dyke Show Episode Title : “ The Alan Brady Show Presents “ Year: 1963 Season: 3 Episode: 13

The Christmas Season is here, and along with it a brand new mini-series celebrating those very special Christmas sitcom episodes! First up I got back to 1969 to see that very lovely lady and her daughters have their first Christmas with a man named Brady with three boys of his own. Show Title : The Brady Bunch Episode Title : “ The Voice of Christmas “ Year: 1969 Season: 1 Episode: 12

Just when you thought it was safe to back to the podcast....JAWGUST is back! Sort've. This is a very special episode of Geek Mentality where, on the one year anniversary of the JAWGUST month long celebration, Mike is back to talk about - what else? JAWS 2 .

Took me long enough to get back into the swing of things - and the first thing I do since Movie Month is a Superman movie that doesn't even have Superman in it? Does this movie even count? How can I get away with this!? Easy! I make the rules - so this 1,000% counts. Yay!!! Enjoy as I go back to 1984 and watch Supergirl for the first time since...1984.

Here we are once again. The end of another successful movie month. 30 more movies watched and podcasted about on a daily basis for 30 days. Eight years and I’ve still never missed a day. That’s 240 movies! And I wanted to end of a biggie, and I think I did! See you nerds again next year!

39 years and 4 days. That's how long it took for the original Blade Runner to finally be seen by these handsome eyes. A movie that has so many different version that I couldn't limit myself to just one....

I've had this on my radar all month long and knew without a doubt I wasn't going to finish out the month and not watch it - and I so glad for that fact. What a well-crafted movie with some fantastic performances. Everything I was expecting and more. So good.

And we finish up the Christopher Morris Weekend Spectacular with another movie he's been after me to watch for some time. In fact, this has been sitting in the "drafts" folder on the website for over a year. In that time the Rotten Tomatoes score when up 1% and the service I used to watch switched over from HBO Max to Tubi. What does that have to do with the movie itself? Not much. It&...

Min ven Chris, og en af ​​min vært på en anden podcast , har været efter mig i et stykke tid for at se denne film, så jeg dedikerer i dag og morgendagens film til ham! (My friend Chris, and a co-host of mine on another podcast , has been after me for a while to watch this movie, so I dedicate today and tomorrow's movies to him!)

Here's a movie that was not on my list at all, but I stumbled upon it this morning and said - yup, this is my day 25 movie. And then I watched it. And then I talked about it. And now you're reading this. There's really not that much else that goes into it. I'm a pretty simple guy.

Yet another movie that has been on my list for years and somehow I keep forgetting to finally watch it. Until today. Today I remembered to no longer forget to watch it. So I did. I remembered to forget. AND I watched it. Try to keep up.

I know so little about the Tom Clancy literary world, or the "Ryanverse" - but I can tell that Amazon sees a franchise on their hands and will try to make that happen - starting with this movie (and their Jack Ryan series). Was this movie great? No. Was it okay? Yeah, I think that's the best way to describe it. Am I glad I watched? I think so. Either way, I do sing during this episode...

I told you! I told you I was going to watch part two of this series, so you really shouldn't be surprised. Today I got home from Mystic, CT and either am watching the movie at home or I watched it early this morning in the hotel room. Can you tell that I wrote this on Sunday night? It's called PLANNING AHEAD!!!

This one has been on the list probably since it premiered back in 2018. Finally getting to it and happy I am finally seeing it. You can use finally twice in one sentence. Yes you can. Anywho, I woke up super early to watch this one today because we're off to Mystic, CT today to go visit the aquarium down there. Staying overnight too, but there's no way I am not getting my movie in. I'm...

While it is hard for me to see Patrick Wilson married to another movie in a horror movie, I have come to terms with it and look forward to delving deeper into the "Insidious" world. Also - no road rage today! Happy Sunday!

Another movie where you're going to say, wait he hasn't seen that yet? Great movie. Pod goes a little off the rails when some jerk on a motorcycle flips me off for a reason I am still not sure about, but it happens whilst recording and well - there are no second takes!

This morning I enjoyed a little venture into space with my (homemade) breakfast burritos. The entire experience was a positive one. I really enjoyed my breakfast and I really enjoyed this movie. A total victory. Ain't life grand?

I love me some Bob Odenkirk, so when I first caught wind about this movie I was super excited to see it. And then I saw it. And guess what - I'm probably more excited. This Nobody sure was somebody. I don't think that was a strong line to go out on, so I added this sentence so maybe you'd forget about that last one.
