We Geek Podcast

Adam had a chance recently to check out the HTC Vive and get a look at the next potential great leap forward in video game and entertainment technology- Virtual Reality. So, how was it? What games did he play? What really stuck out? What opportunities does it open up? How much does it cost? Did his mom like it? Tune in and get the answers to all of these questions and many, many more!

Lists! Adam and Logan take a look at the lists for Disney's upcoming movie slate, the writers for Hasbro's movie universe, and how many people are in the next season of Twin Peaks! Madness! Also, some casting news for The Dark Tower, release dates for Blade Runner 2 and It, as well as the question- "New Line bought the rights to what?". Plus, Ecto Cooler Hi-C is finally coming back and big news for fans of The Kingkiller Chronicle (no, not that news, sorry) as Tak gets a Kickstarter! Seriously, go check that out, it looks awesome! Also, two notes- we forgot to mention that this week's book is The Drawing of the Three (the second in The Dark Tower series), and Adam's full-on impression of the HTC Vive will be in a bonus episode that will go up very soon!

News! Piles and piles of headlines this week, but Adam and Logan get this podcast back closer to its roots and focus on deeper discussions and interesting tangents this week on everything from Max Landis' Ghost in the Shell comments, to Max Landis' run on Superman: American Alien, to Max Landis' appearance on The Game Over Greggy Show (I think there's a pattern here), and that's just the first segment! Covering announcements about a possible live-action Pokemon movie (written by Max Landis), casting news for Justice League and Spider-Man Homecoming, rumors about the PS4K and so, so much more! This was a fun episode to record, and here's to hoping more in the future turn out like this one!

News! Cinema-Con kicks off in Las Vegas, and Adam and Logan break down some of the first headlines, like Ben Affleck confirmed to star in and direct a standalone Batman film, as well as take a look at what was the one big trailer of the week (Rogue One) before Marvel drops the Doctor Strange trailer online halfway though the show! Following that course correct, there's some more happy news for Death Note and Gilmore Girls fans, a review of last week's book (Jurassic Park), and Adam picks next week's book, Live from New York, a behind-the-scenes look at SNL! With each headline seeming to lead to its own tangent, this was definitely one of the more fun episode and you don't want to miss it!

FULL SPOILER ALERT! Adam and Logan take time to dissect what (little) works and what (all) sucks in Batman v Superman, then shift gears and break down the awesomeness of the second season of Daredevil and what that may mean for Marvel's Netflix universe going forward!

Reviews! Yes, there is plenty of news for Adam and Logan to break down this week- promo pictures for Wonder Woman and Doctor Strange, casting for Iron Fist and Class, and a whole event of Final Fantasy XV news- but the thread this week is the reviews for Batman v Superman (which will be part of a special episode this weekend), The Walking Dead, and WrestleMania weekend!

Our first riff! A brief background for those of you unfamiliar- this idea comes from the Rifftrax group who provided humorous audio commentary tracks to be played along with movies, an idea that catapulted Mystery Science Theater 3000 into pop culture legend (so much so that their new season Kickstarter shattered records left and right), which is fitting since this Rifftrax crew are all MST3K alumni. So this is our first take at it, what we're calling "riffs" until we come up with something catchier and unique. The technical side- you'll need two audio sources for this to work, since all we provide is our audio commentary, this means you'll need to run two separate media player elements (one thing to play the movie, another to play the commentary) and set the different volumes appropriately. For our next film to riff we have some ideas, but we'd also love to hear your suggestions! Let the spice flow!

Happy Birthday! Yes, We Geek Podcast is now one year old! A brief bit of reminiscence leads off a show filled with some great tangents coming from new Lobo movie news, a Resident Evil musical, and Digital Homicide's newest lawsuit (and here's a fantastic conversation); plus, casting news for Ready Player One, American Gods, and the MacGuyver reboot! All this plus more news and rumors, a few quick reviews, and some announcements of our upcoming bonus shows, including one for Daredevil's second season and our Dune riff commentary!

Announcements! Yes, of all kinds this week, and Adam and Logan break down news of Indiana Jones 5, The Princess Diaries 3 (maybe), and Beetlejuice 2 (or not, or maybe, or probably, or who knows at this point), as well as premiere dates for Luke Cage and the Powerpuff Girls, and the long awaited release window and price of the PlayStation VR! Plus, some concrete news on just what's going down for our One Year Anniversary Week next week that will start something that we need you to be a part of going forward!

Tangents! No, Adam and Logan hadn't planned on doing a whole segment on WWE, but hey, that's the beauty of the show! This week- tons of casting news (Baywatch, Justice League) and rumors (Stallone in Guardians Vol. 2?), new projects announced (Scalped, Suicide Sqaud 2) and rumored (Venom!?), plus reactions to the AMC/Carmike merger and a breakdown of the newest Nintendo Direct, plus so much more! Also, stay tuned for some upcoming updates about projects brewing for our 1-year anniversary!
