The Kybercast

A little late this week because life happens, but after moving, watching finales to Raised By Wolves and The Boys, and some technical difficulties, the episode is out! Also: news bits, Our Geek This Week, and the hundredish pages of Dune! Welcome back to The Kybercast #RaisedbyWolves #TheBoys #OurGeekThisWeek #Dune #KybercastBookClub #HBOMAX #PrimeVideo #KybercastBookClub #GrandRapids

OK, so the title this week has very little to do with the episode, but when you have a Star Wars-focused podcast how do you not call your 66th episode “Order 66?” This week’s episode is about The Boys and the penultimate episode of Raised by Wolves, as well as what may well be confirmation of Marvel’s multiverse. Also, “Our Geek This Week” and the start of the Kybercast Book Club! It may not be in...

We may still be in the midst of our plague year, but geek stuff is really ramping up as of late. This week we touch base on current episodes of The Boys and Raised by Wolves before we discuss the surprise WandaVision trailer and announcement. Kudos are given to Watchmen for their impressive Emmy wins, then we dive into where Star Wars may be going on the small screen. Social media! Check out our T...

Kybercast064 - This Is The Way!

Kybercast63 - Raised By The Boys! As Fall approaches us we’re starting to see new releases drop, with two huge genre shows launched last week. First up is the premiere season of Raised By Wolves on HBOMAX, a show shepherded by Ridley Scott (Alien, Blade Runner) that is not afraid to ask big questions about motherhood, religion, and humankind’s relationship with technology. Next is season two of Pr...

Kybercast062 - Wakanda Forever! This week is a bit more somber than usual as Joe and Michael take the time to acknowledge the accomplishments of Chadwick Boseman and his lasting legacy on film, the Black Panther character, and that movie’s spot as the crown jewel of the MCU. Also this episode: Our geek this week! News bits: Jurassic World: Dominion and Camp Crustaceous, Ant-Man 3, and Dune, seen h...

Kybercast060 - Bridge City Comic, Part Deux! Joe and Michael welcome back special guest, founder and owner of Portland’s Bridge City Comics, Michael Ring, back to the show! We discuss how COVID-19 has affected his shop, the outlook for the industry from the store level, and if there is light at the end of the tunnel. Before all that, we debut our new segment #OurGeekThisWeek. ALSO: We are two epis...

Please join us as we welcome back friend of the podcast, and Spider-Man aficionado, Michael Dunn! We all rewatched Spider-Man: Into The Spiderverse and discuss what works, what doesn’t, Miles Morales’s conflicts, and whether or not it’s the best Spider-Man. Surprise: we don’t all necessarily agree! Welcome back to the Kybercast! #Spiderman #IntoTheSpiderverse #IntoTheSpiderverseRewatch #SpidermanI...

This week on the Kybercast we interview Chris Eichenseer, creative director and founder of Some Odd Pilot (someoddpilot.com), who did some fantastic work for the FX channel website as part of their Comic-Con@Home presence. We discuss the digital future of conventions, and as Chris is a lifelong Star Wars fan Joe and Michael find out who he agrees with more. Chris offers a unique take on what the s...

2020 has certainly been a year unique to itself, and though Comic-Con may not have been quite as enthralling as it has been in previous years, there was still some cool news released this week. Also: EMMYS? Yeah, Joe and MIchael are surprised too, but when so many nominations went to genre television, well, how can that NOT be applauded? Welcome back to the Kybercast! #ComicCon #ComicConatHome #St...

Because you asked for it, this week’s episode is a listener request. Back in April Joe and Michael selected their favorite genre picks for Netflix. This week we do the same thing for Disney+. Surprise, surprise, they don’t necessarily agree. Have a listen and let us know you’re top pics for geek content on Disney+! Welcome back to The Kybercast! Michael’s Top Five 1. Rogue One 2. Mandalorian 3. Bl...

During this “Summer of the Pandemic” there hasn’t been a lot of geek stuff going on, but this week we finally have news to talk about! Black Widow, Star Trek, Batman, Star Wars, Aliens/Predator and more news bits are coming your way! Also: Joe and Michael watched THE OLD GUARD. What did they think? What did you think? Welcome back to the Kybercast! #MCU #BlackWidow #StarWars #BadBatch #StarWarsThe...

Joe and Michael are old. Not very old, but old enough to have been a geek for a good three decades or longer. We are kind of set in our cranky ways like that. But what does the next geek generation have to offer? This week we’re bringing in a teen to get his fresh take on everything from Marvel, to Star Wars, to how he and his peers take in and discuss their geek passions. Sometimes it’s nice to g...

Kybercast053 - Geek Voices of Color (Joe was on vacation this week, so Michael did his best not to muck things up, with varying levels of success.) The wonderful thing about geek culture is that at its heart it is a culture of inclusivity. A certain film, comic, character, whatever, speaks to you in a way that nothing has before, and we all come together under that banner of inclusivity. Raise tha...

Normally the discussions this summer would be about the various blockbuster genre films we’ve seen, but this summer just isn’t like any other summer as of late. We’re taking a different approach. This week is all about the terrible movies that we know are horrible, but we love anyway. What geek films do you love despite their lack of quality? Feel free to leave a comment about the best worst movie...

What's making you happy? What's your geek distraction? There’s a lot of going on in the world right now; we’ve had months of COVID-19 lockdowns and now days for protesting and rioting across the nation. Sometimes things can seem pretty dour. Perhaps you’re looking for a brief respite from the real world. This week Joe and Michael discuss the geek/nerd things that are currently making them happy, t...

Welcome to the 50th episode of the The Kybercast! Just over a year ago we (Joe and Michael) thought it would be fun to launch a geek podcast with a definite Star Wars bent. Initially it was something we did every other week, but quickly decided that we enjoyed it so much that it became a weekly thing. And you know what? It’s still a lot of fun! We’ve met all kinds of interesting people and continu...

Kybercast049 - Boba Fett Lives! The internet is abuzz with word that Mr. Jango Fett himself, and father of all clones, Temuera Morrison is back in the Mandalorian armor again playing his own son. Who’s also a clone. Of him. Father’s day and family reunions are confusing for those Fetts. Boba Fett lives! Is that a good thing? Is it bad? Is it pandering? Is it fan service? Join Michael and Joe as th...

All good things come to an end. Sometimes once (Cartoon Network). Sometimes twice (Netflix). But sometimes the third time’s the charm (Disney+). This time this really is the end, so Joe and Michael offer up their thoughts on the last two episodes of this season/series. What did you think? Also: more Star Wars news! More geek news! Fire up your trusty podcast app and have a listen, it’s time for th...

This week Joe and Michael dive headfirst back into THE CLONE WAYS season 7, and wow, is it something! Have you been watching, because if you haven't, you should be! This is quite simply some of the best Star Wars seen in the last 10 years. It begs the question: is the future if Star Wars on TV? Listen in and share your opinion! Welcome back to the Kybercast! #StarWars #TheCloneWars #AhsokaTano #Da...

This week on the Kybercast Joe and Michael interview official Star Wars illustrator, Matt Busch! No surprise here, we talk Star Wars, illustrating, geek origin stories, Matt's work as a filmmaker, and the past five years he spent writing/directing his passion project: Aladdin 3477. Most of us love Star Wars, but Matt is one of the few that actually got to get paid to do what some of us fans can on...

The COVID lockdown continues, but we still have geek things to say. This week friend of the show Alan comes back to discuss whether or not we are geeking out over the new DUNE movie coming out this December. Well, TWO movies, with one taking the Star Wars slot. Are you interested? Listen and leave a comment! Also: we talk about geek-level unpopular opinions about topics. Is Blade Runner overblown?...

Most of the world is still under the COVID19 quarantine, which means that most of us are stuck at home. In an effort to try to keep everyone from each other's throats, we've compiled a list of Top 10 geek movies to watch on Netflix right now. Well, two lists. Joe and Michael discuss their stop five selections, but all 10 are posted below: Joe: 1. Blade Runner 2. Raiders of the Lost Ark 3. Ant-Man...

Hello! Last week saw the end of Star Trek: The A-Team, err, Picard, and we have thoughts on the season finale. Short version: it kind of feels like this whole first season was just to establish the crew of the La Sirena. That said, the show was enjoyable, but Joe and Michael disagree as to which they prefer, Picard, AKA The A-Team, or Discovery. Next is Star Wars: The Clone Wars and the return of...
