For Geek's Sake

We’re finally doing a Star Trek episode!! We’re breaking down every TV series with the good, bad, and ugly as we celebrate one of the most important television properties of all time.

If you’re not a Trekkie (or Treker), fear not. Here’s what else is on deck:

• Jeff Bezos has definitely not locked Lord of the Rings writers in a room until they meet his demands
• Cryptocurrency folks freak out over the block chain being “hacked”, but Tim called that just like he called the destruction of BitCoin
• Rotten Tomatoes continues to combat trolls, to greater or less degrees of success
• Samsung rolls out a 3-screen folding phone, giving you 3 different screens to have that special crack on the corner of
• And DC Comics announces they’re cutting their number of titles in half. And its way more confusing than it sounds.

Only 3 episodes left… thank you all for the amazing ride!

We’ve got an actual pastor on our show (he got lost), and we’re using him as our litmus test on whether our famous moments of geek are famous enough…

Here’s what else is on the agenda:

• We’ve built AI text generator so good the company is afraid to release it, so that should end well
• A study out of Oxford says video games don’t make kids violent, shocking Call of Duty players everywhere
• Captain Marvel is getting exactly the press you think it is
• A new device makes it easy to lojack your kids
• And DC learned making Jesus a sidekick isn’t great marketing

Thanks for listening!!! 4 episodes left!!

This Week we take a stroll through the Broll of Geek culture! Topics include: Halo Theme Park Mars One Bankrup New Aladdin Trailer Russia Cutting the Chord Earth 2 And Marvels new animated Hulu shows!

We’re talking about password security and a missing $190 million in crypto-currency. But don’t worry, your BitCoin are still pretty worthless…

Here is what else is on the docket:

• The Avengers: Endgame Trailer promises actual consequences
• A doctor in Canada is using machine learning to do incredible work on children with heart defects
• Netflix’s The Dragon Prince listens to it’s fans and becomes pretty much perfect
• And Matt Reeves remembered that Batman was also a detective… movie ensues.

Happy 200 to us! We’re taking it super easy this week. We’re foregoing the traditional format to talk about podcasting, reminisce, and drink too much. We hope you enjoy it. And if you don’t, well, we’ve got 199 other episodes for you instead. :-)

We’re thrilled to welcome Nicholas from the local WarHammer podcast WARlando!! He’s here to finally bring the knowledge of WarHammer to the world of FGS! It took a while, but the airship makes it all worth it. Also…

• YouTube has decided driving with your eyes covered isn’t a great idea
• The Notorious AOC makes a controversial claim on a Twitch Stream… for a good cause
• Black Panther gets the nod for Best Picture
• And the Robot Apocalypse takes a surprising turn…

We’re talking tech this week, and whether or not using Siri counts as cheating. It doesn’t, of course, because Siri will get it all wrong anyway.

That’s not all, of course… here’s what else is on deck:

• Activision and Bungie split, leaving Activision talking to the SEC…
• Lady Sif gets her own series on Disney+
• Geeks lose “NPC” as it gets hijacked for political purposes

• And the first Spider-Man: Far from Home trailer looks as amazing as we hoped

We’re breaking down Bandersnatch, the Choose Your Own Adventure-style episode recently dropped on Netflix. Did it work? Was it fun? Will you bury someone in the backyard? We’ve got it all here. You can also find the fantastic flowchart for the show here.

But, of course, that’s not all…

• The FCC greenlights Soli, a tracking technology using radars to detect finger motions
• China lands a probe on a side of the moon that gets plenty of sunlight
• Elon warns us that the first time you strap people to a new rocket something might go bad
• Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse wins a Golden Globe, because IT DAMN WELL SHOULD
