Night of the Living Geeks

HELLO AND GREETINGS FROM GALLIFREY ONE! Join John and Taylor for a short chat from a table in #LobbyCon on Friday morning. They discuss what they're excited to see and do on DAY ONE, and some other nonsense. Everyone have a great Gally, and we'll talk to you tomorrow!

Folks, we're back from our totally legit venture into the future where we watched the 2nd episode of The War Between the Land and the Sea...Plastic Apocalypse!! Overall, we're still enjoying this series, but there were some holes and plot devices this time that really left us scratching our heads. So join us as we figure those out and talk about Gallifrey One which is only about 10 days away now!...

Friends, we have been to the future and back! We can't tell you when The War Between the Land and the Sea will air on Disney+ (or what 2026 looks like at that point), but we can go into detail about the first episode of this five-part series. We'll be honest, we didn't want to like it, but it definitely kept our attention by the end of things!

Welcome to 2026, folks! It's been a hot minute, but the fine folks of YaketyCAST are back to help you ring in the new year! This week we're talking TRAILERS. Like, the most trailers you can possibly think of. Avengers: Doomsday, Street Fighter, Redux Redux, They Will Kill You, and MORE. Finales of TV? We got you covered with Welcome to Derry, Stranger Things, The Beast In Me, and Pluribus! All thi...

New Year! New Season! New weird topics! We start 2026 by looking at the history (and mysteries) surrounding an unusual house built in the 1940s in Santa Cruz, California. We look into the stories surrounding Kenneth Kitchen who built this structure (which you can drive by and see even today!) and the legends that quickly built up around this incredible home.

Well, friends, we have reached our final episode of 2025 and the final installment of the Prisoners of Time comic book adventure! This time we have a fairly flimsy 9th Doctor story that really only seems there to reveal who our villain is. Then we join Ten and Martha in Los Angeles and places John has actually been! And instead of learning if the Frogmen the 11th Doctor is dealing with are the sam...

This time we continue on with Prisoners of Time! Chapters 5 through 8 in which we wonder many things! We wonder why the 5th Doctor appears to be 12 years old. We wonder where this bad ass 6th Doctor has been all our lives. We wonder if it's okay to go absolutely swoon city over a cartoon Ace. And we wonder why McDonalds hasn't brought back Mac Tonight.

Greetings and HAPPY THANKSGIVING, YaketyCAST fans! We decided to drop a special episode on turkey day and it's all about our TOP 10 Movies of the Year! Join us as Ernesto, John, and Tramell countdown their personal lists. They also talk about some of the worst movies they've seen this year.

Folks, have you ever wondered what Turkey Dinner Flavored Cup Noodles would taste like? Well, it's the flavor of the holiday of course! This week on YaketyCAST our three hosts try to figure out why AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH needs so many incentives to see it in theaters, how would Sabrina Carpenter do starring in ALICE IN WONDERLAND, and why GameStop hates it's employees. They also discuss the Night Pa...

Well, here's something new, friends! We're reviewing a comic book Doctor Who story! Well, stories would be more accurate because Prisoners of Time was originally a year-long 12 issue miniseries from IDW to celebrate Doctor Who's 50th anniversary. We read the first four issues (chapters) and talked about what we liked and didn't like.

Much like GTA6 and Marvel 1943 - YaketyCAST pushed back this episode by a number of weeks. But never fear, they're back with a vengeance! John discusses RedSec, ARC Raiders, and FFVII Rebirth. Ernesto and Tramell have been running the gauntlet of television as they have reviews for Welcome to Derry, Gen V, DMV, The Chair Company, AND Chad Powers! John cannot stop talking about how great the new Th...

Friends, we are firmly entrenched in Fall and it's high time we finally review Riley Silverman's "Dark Watchers of California" from Big Finish! Susie, fleeing a traumatic experience back in San Francisco, heads south to Big Sur (circa 1966...sur-ca, maybe?), but not only is she being pursued by the law, but she's also seeing the legendary Dark Watchers in the woods around her cabin. While on a hik...

Friends and listeners, we're back! Now in our every other month format, we're here with what we're calling out last episode of Season 2 (it'll make more sense in January when we kick off season 3) and an absolutely bizarre tale of a complete cornucopia of high strangeness with the Santa Cruz Humanoids! Not one, not two, but nearly a half dozen different types of oddball uprights in this woman's ne...

What happens when two American fans of a British science fiction show get their British friend to fan cast a fictional America season of the British show complete with American actors? Chaos. You get absolute chaos! This time, we're join by Ben Paddon who's sci-fi audio series Jump Leads starts its second season on October 31st!

After an extremely long Pop Rock bender YaketyCAST has returned! This week Ernesto and John are once again joined by Tramell! Movie reviews? We've got them - Godzilla: Final Battle, Tron, Tron: Legacy, Tron: Ares, Play Dirty, and One Battle After Another! John continues his insane gauntlet of video games as he talks about finishing Silent Hill f and Final Fantasy VII Remake! We loved Peacemaker Se...

This time we continue down the rabbit hole of Doctor Who that Could Have Been but Never Was and take a peek inside the Leekley Bible (no, that's not the one in your motel room nightstand!) that would have potentially been made into the 8th Doctor's first season on Fox here in America had the TV movie done better than it did. Let's just say that the classic stories chosen to be remade and updated t...

This week on YaketyCAST we find out what the 'f' in SILENT HILL f stands for, and naturally it's for FRED SAVAGE. Ernesto and John discuss a whole bunch of video game trailers that came out of the Playstation State of Play last week including WOLVERINE. They both saw ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER and give their full review of it, and they also discuss the trailer for THE BRIDE. PEACEMAKER episode 6 was...

Friends, we have been talking about this idea for at least a year and now we are finally here. EPISODE 350!! In this episode, we each pick three unproduced Doctor Who stories, flesh them out, fancast them, and pitch them to each other. This was so much fun to pull together and record! If you know anyone at Big Finish, have them call us!

Greetings and Salutations, YaketyCAST listeners! This week Ernesto and John are joined by a very special guest and friend: Vince! Vince has been supporting NOTLG and it's shows for YEARS, so as a treat we invited him to listen to the ramblings of our hosts! John finished Resident Evil Village, Ernesto saw The Long Walk, and they also discuss Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 5! Vince brought the THUNDER...

Folks and listeners alike, Ernesto and John are back with a brand new episode of YaketyCAST! This week our duo has become a trio once again as Tramell joins in on all the wackiness. For Video Games we have a whole lot of NINTENDO news and John gives reviews for both RESIDENT EVIL 5 and RESIDENT EVIL 7. We get reactions from our hosts to the short plot summary James Gunn provided about MAN OF TOMOR...

A couple days late, but worth the wait! As we reach the cusp of episode 350, we first look at the Jon Pertwee story Colony in Space. It's a little bit of a middling story, but there are some notable firsts, some great action, and a surprising amount of shoot outs!

The dynamic duo of YaketyCAST is back! This week John tells us about ALL FIVE of the video games he's completed since the last recording! Silent Hill 2 and Resident Evil 1 - 4! Ernesto saw CAUGHT STEALING and THE TOXIC AVENGER this week and he gives you hefty reviews on both! There were a ton of trailers to talk about including 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, The Black Phone 2, and Nuremberg! If...

Everyone loves Gumby, right? That adorable though oddly shaped clay scamp who's always getting up to adventures with his friends? So what happened one episode in 1988 when Gumby encountered the grays!? Yes, this month we're looking at 7 minutes of UFO and alien lore expertly crammed into a single Gumby story. Did Clokey have an encounter of his own? Could Communion have influenced this story? And...

This time we continue our escape into Classic Doctor Who with the 2nd Doctor adventure The Moonbase! One half animated, one half live action, we find ourselves on the moon in 2070 where a single base with a single Graviton beam is somehow controlling all the weather on Earth! This definitely feels like a situation where redundancies would have been helpful. But the Cybermen are back and poisoning...

The rag tag hosts of YaketyCAST are back this week and they're joined once again by Tramell! This week our trio talk about a whole bunch of movies they've seen over the past couple of weeks: The Naked Gun, Weapons, Sketch, Shin Godzilla, and unfortunately WAR OF THE WORLDS! John finished like fifteen video games from last record and he gives his thoughts on those. Tramell lets us know how great TW...
