Night of the Living Geeks

What does 70 pounds get you today? Not much, let's be honest. But in 1967 70 pounds got you an all-day bear rental so you didn't have to waste your money on stock footage!! And that's not the only exciting part of The Ice Warriors! It's a solid six-parter from the Troughton era that introduces these legendary foes and their very whispery tones!

August is here and, with that, our Summer of John comes to a conclusion with the return of co-host John Pingel and our topic: John Titor! From his early faxes to Art Bell in 1998 to his online postings of the early 2000s, we take a look at Titor's claims, his possible motives, his manner of travel, and potentially the reality that it was all just cooked up by a couple of Florida boys! Regardless,...

Well, folks, The Power of Three. Is it a reference to the strength of the Doctor plus his companions? Is it a reference to the "cubed" nature of our villains tools? Is it just something that sounded good in Chibnall's head as he wrote a rather glossed over story full of exceptional amounts of handwavium? We're not really sure and, as such, that causes this story to land rather awkwardly. Though it...

This week on YaketyCAST we are once again joined by special guest Tramell! Join our trio of hosts as they discuss a whole lot of the news that came out of San Diego Comic Con this past week! They also all saw FANTASTIC FOUR and give their thoughts on MARVEL's newest installment. They're also talking about Spinal Tap II, Peacemaker Season 2, a possible Booster Gold series, and that episode of South...

WELL. Here we are once again! This week we're talking about the BLADE script being on it's 4th version, Taika Waititi's JUDGE DREDD, Neil Druckmann leaving TLOU Season 3, and how John for some reason doesn't like listening to singles before albums come out. It's weird. We don't quite understand it either. We also discuss the trailers for TRON: ARES, Mortal Kombat II, and Hoppers! All this, plus a...

It came from beneath the ice!! Yes, sounds like the start of a 50s b-movie where some alien plant pod falls to Earth in the distant past only to be discovered by mankind and have it germinate and try to take over the world. It probably would have some sort of villain who hates mankind so much, he identifies more with the plants than with humans. Gosh, that also sounds exactly like our episode this...

After a week off the fine folks of YaketyCAST are BACK! This week they are once again joined by Tramell as they navigate through the last two weeks of crazy entertainment news! They have reviews for SUPERMAN and JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH. They talk the last three episodes of IRONHEART, the reboot of SCRUBS, and yelling at people who talk in movies! Plus: John has finished playing both ALAN WAKE 2 an...

Ladies and Gents and everyone out there, we are back after basically a month to recover from Ncuti's last episode. And we needed something light, something entertaining and the animated recreation of The Savages fits the bill! Set as something of an allegory on anti-apartheid South Africa, The Savages lets you think one thing early on and then has you wondering who are the "real" savages. It's a v...

This month it appears we ask the question that no one else really has: what if John Frum were an actual person? Yes, we're looking at the John Frum Movement on the island of Tanna in the South Pacific. This cargo cult is legendary, but then we start to research who John Frum could have been and things get really interesting from there!

YaketyCAST is back this week with so much video games, movies, and tv news that you'll have to be carried off the pitch like our soon to be robot overloads during a soccer match! This week John gives us a review of ALAN WAKE and FBC: FIREBREAK. Ernesto tells us all about the new movie F1: Is it worth your time? Plus James Bond news, Michael Bay wants to do Transformers again, and a whole lot of tr...

After two whole weeks without a new episode, YaketyCAST is back and they're bringing the THUNDER. Or at least bringing giant bags of popcorn with Cheetos in them! This week it's MOVIE REVIEWS A PLENTY as our hosts talk about SIX movies they saw since they last spoke to you. They also discuss the Toxic Avenger and Eddington trailers, Jon Bernthal joining the Spider-Man: Brand New Day cast, and John...

We love a good double-entendre alternate title. And that might be one of the only good things about The Reality War. Honestly, folks, we are a positive podcast. We're always looking for the things we like in even the least enjoyable story (Sleep No More...remember?). Well, this one's a struggle. We definitely have some things we liked, but we absolutely have to address where this story leaves us a...

This week's episode of YaketyCAST has it all: A full Mission:Impossible Final Reckoning review, the rumors about the new James Bond, and a full rundown of the season finale of The Last of Us. There's also Sydney Sweeney's soap talk and John's family possibly trolling him with a t-shirt! All this and much more!

We have two big things happening this month, friends! First, we have our first guest host as Seb is out on assignment. And we tackle the massive, wild, utterly bonkers story that is the Stardust Ranch in Buckeye, Arizona! From the original desire to have horse and dog rescue to the grays to the Brillomen to abductions, doppelgangers, the legendary katana, and the freakin' Galactic Council...Stardu...

Oh boy, oh boy friends! Here we are...the penultimate episode of the season! And nothing is as it seems! Yes, sure, there's a bit of set up for what hopefully will be an insane season finale, but that's what penultimate episodes do, right? We've a new god of the Pantheon, we have a easy money-making scheme (selling yellow mugs), we have another surprise face showing up, and we have a very intrigui...

FOLKS! We here at YaketyCAST pride ourselves on one thing and only thing only: Our love of the hit television show Mike & Molly. However, we could not dedicate an entire episode to just that so it's business as usual! This week Ernesto saw THREE MOVIES and has reviews for each of them for you, John spirit-bonded with a giraffe at the zoo, and both discuss the dangers of rolling around the Walk of...

Oh boy, friends, do we have a lot to unpack! The Interstellar Song Contest has come and gone. Dugga Doo didn't win. And for that we riot!! Wait, that's not the biggest bit of news from this episode? Oh. Oh yes! There is lots and lots more!! We won't detail out every little bit here because, you know, spoilers. So grab your space age slurpee cups and let's start hashing it out!

The YaketyCAST crew is back with another episode for all of our MADEA MANIACS out there! This week we talk about the Madea's Destination Wedding trailer and literally nothing else. Nope, that's the ONLY THING WE DISCUSS. Alright, FINE. We also talk about the trailers for SUPERMAN, NOBODY 2, DUSTER, and LILO & STITCH. We also discuss MAX becoming HBO MAX, ESPN's new streaming service no one asked f...

The Story and The Engine is a fantastic story. That's it, that's the post. It's well written, it tells a story that we don't really see in Doctor Who, it's amazing to look at, and it provides representation where we really really haven't had it on this show. All of that is fantastic, so you'll hear a lot of that, a couple teeny nitpicks, and a lot of speculation on where this season's end game may...

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY ONE AND ALL. But mainly, just the mothers. This week on YaketyCAST the hosts discuss how fun it would be to ride a shark like a surfboard, or possibly running across the water really fast like in a cartoon. They also discuss GTA 6, The Last of Us, and how much the new Pope enjoys Words With Friends. Ernesto brings us a review of the movie HAVOC, and John discussing the movie FRI...

Well, despite a few bits of logic we just couldn't quite reconcile, we still really enjoyed Lucky Day. Much like last season's Dot and Bubble, we have a good script and a character that's crafted specifically for us to hate him. We have a wrestling-level heel turn mid-episode that just sets us on our back foot for the rest of the adventure. Plus we get some juicy hints as to what's to come in the...

Ernesto and John are bringing the REVIEWS this week on YaketyCAST! SINNERS, Thunderbolts*, and The Accountant 2! John also gives his thoughts on finishing THE LAST OF US PART 2. Plus GTA 6 Delayed, a bunch of thoughts on movie trailers, and A BOOK REVIEW! All this and some other nonsense!

What happens when good carbohydrates go bad? Well, this month we look at the unusual tale of a haunting in England during the early 20th century that ate a family out of its bread stores! Yes, bread disappearing right before their eyes! We get it, fresh baked bread is THE BEST! Apparently this family's bread was so good that even the dead couldn't get enough of it!

Well, we knew Lux was going to be a hard act to follow, but The Well does a bang-up job! And, by that, we mean that it's the entity banging these poor troopers all over the room in that one scene! Yeah, fantastic performances from everyone. More characters that we care about in a short time. And impressive return of a Modern Who monster we didn't really see coming and lots of speculation about pos...

BEHOLD! A brand new episode of YaketyCAST! This week, Ernesto and John are joined by their good friend Tramell! Join our trio as they talk about SINNERS, The Last of Us, a whole bunch of movie trailers, and two new video game movies Sydney Sweeney will be in!
