We Geek Podcast

Tangents! Yes, this week's a little light on news, which gives Adam and Logan time to dive off into some splendid discussions on the continual possibility of a comic book movie bubble burst, why Ubisoft's board room is starting to look like Game of Thrones, how to criticize films without being a jerk, and a discussion of the KFC multiverse in DC Comics. No, seriously, that's a thing. But don't fret, there are still some headlines and announcements for casting for The Flash and Arrow, Lionsgate making a big, big purchase, and just who's thrown their hat in the ring to play Squirrel Girl in a non-existant (so far) movie. All this, plus reviews for a bunch of movies, a couple games, Neuromancer, and a new book chosen for next week!

News! Yes, this week we're big on Dwayne Johnson news as we've found out about even more projects he's going to be involved in, and Adam and Logan take a look at that news as well as some Rogue One surprises, an odd Indiana Jones announcement, and a quick discussion of the Game of Thrones finale (a full season recap show coming soon!). A hidden drinking game bonus for this episode- take a shot for every reference to a particular rom-com. Have fun!

Casting! Tons of casting news this week, and Adam and Logan break down announcements from Fast 8, Supergirl, and Gotham, as well as taking a look at new Samurai Jack artwork and HBO's first trailer for Westworld! This and so much more news on top of reviews for Warcraft and Game of Thrones, and a full breakdown of WWE Money in the Bank and some fallout from the days after!

E3! Yeah, there's a smidgeon of movie and TV news, but the main thing this week is all of the news from E3! Bethesda's announcements, Microsoft's reveals, Ubisoft's next Just Dance party, EA's underwhelming lack of announcements, and Sony's fully orchestrated gameplay extravaganza made for an incredible conference, and Adam and Logan break down the big announcements and just what this means for the coming year and beyond!

E3 approaches! On this lead-in episode to this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo, Adam and Logan break down some rumors and "well it's leaked early so we have to announce it now" news heading into the big dance next week- everything from Injustice 2 to Telltale's Batman game, as well as offering up some predictions of what will probably be announced, what might be announced, and fantasy booking of some surprise "these would be cool" announcements. Also, a pile of movie news this week that includes potential Captain Marvel casting, the villain for Guardians Vol. 2, and Anthony Hopkins joining Transformers 5 in some role that isn't Unicron!

Casting! Yes, official news as well as rumors, and one strange bit of unprompted shilling, provide the bulk of this week's show! Adam and Logan take a look at Tom Hiddleston, maybe, possibly being the next James Bond, Dwayne Johnson definitely being Doc Savage, and Megan Fox wanting to be Kitana. Also, Mega Man gets a sleek redesign for his new animated series, Mirror's Edge may get a TV series, and the Legend of Zelda E3 demo sounds longer than a TV miniseries! All this, plus a big rundown of the current state of WWE and a look back over Game of Thrones and (most of) Uncharted 4!

Returns! Yes, we've been on a hiatus, but Adam and Logan are back! We had so much news that we decided to jump the gun on next week and do a three hour mega-show, and still have news leftover! Casting news from Marvel, a massive shakeup at Warner Bros. DC Films (yes, that's a new thing now), potential Netflix news, and big doings at the CW with a major four show crossover coming in December! But wait, don't they only have three DC shows? Not anymore, as now they've got Supergirl! Reactions to DC Rebirth, Game of Thrones, WWE Extreme Rules, The Flash, and a shoutout to WhatCulture Wrestling make up part of a jam-packed, fully stocked show!

Here it is! The Marvel movie event of the year has arrived, and Adam and Logan break it all down! How did Civil War fare? What really hit the mark and what seemed off? How does it compare to Batman v Superman? What were some real standout moments? What did this film tie up from previous MCU installments, and what does it mean moving into Phase 3? All of these questions and so many more are answered on this special bonus installment of We Geek Podcast!

Trailers! Yes, that's the word this week as Adam and Logan break down EA's new Battlefied trailer and the response by the pro- and anti-Call of Duty communities, as well as tackling some more FOX mutant movie announcements and what's going on with the remake of The Craft! Also, a surprise entrant into the nonexistent "If they ever recast Indiana Jones, I'll take it" pool, the costumes for the new Power Rangers film unveiled, and a fascinating story that starts with Mass Effect 3 and ends with how they don't make alterations in J.C. Penny anymore! Trust me, this week is a hell of a ride, so buckle up and hang on tight!

Abandon ship! This week, Adam and Logan take a look at the news and rumors about directors bailing on DC films, a director joining the ever-in-development Space Jam sequel, and casting news for The Dark Tower and a Watership Down Netflix series! Plus, big news about the Nintendo NX, the free games in May for PS Plus and Xbox Live Gold, a breakdown of WWE Payback and Game of Thrones, and so much more!

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!
