Our second blabcast episode has the guys (Jenny was sick, and not just sick of Watson, although we can't rule that out) discussing Marvel Netflix casting/news and Rogue One. Then we play a game looking at the over/under Rotten Tomato scores for the following upcoming releases: Captain America Civil War, Angry Birds, Neighbors 2, X-Men Apocalypse, and Alice Through the Looking Glass.  

The Gabbing Geek crew is back with our first new episode in months!  It's taken forever to try and schedule a time we could all be together--so we gave up trying and just used some new fangled technology to connect when we couldn't be in the same room.  The audio quality might be a bit different than previous episodes but it's much better than the audio flat line from the past several months.  In this episode we talk about what we've been geeking on for the past several months before playing a cruel, cruel game of Spoiler Trivia!

Do you feel it?  There has been…an awakening.  Specifically in the Gabbing Geek podcast.  We’ve been off the air for far too long but there’s nothing like a new Star Wars movie to bring the gang all back together for an extra long episode!  Join the entire crew—Ryan, Jenny, and Watson—as they are joined by Gabbing Geek writers Tom (on the air!) and Jimmy and Greg (via the Internets) to talk about macroeconomic policy and its implications on sub-Saharan migration patterns.  Or Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens.  Whichever comes first.   Oh yeah, and this episode is full of spoilers for both topics.  So if you haven’t seen Episode VII yet—WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE???  And you can’t really spoil migration patterns so don’t worry about that topics.   Like what you're hearing?  Be sure to share this podcast with your friends and give us a review on iTunes over at http://bit.ly/gabbinggeek   Be sure to check out our awesome new web site at http://gabbinggeek.com/ where we have tons of stories and art

In honor of Back to the Future Day (October 21, 2015) we present a very special episode of Gabbing Geek all about the best time traveling trilogy since Saw.   We start off by talking about the future.  Back to the Future made some predictions about its future, our present, and while it got a few things right it also missed the mark on several things.  Our gang takes turns making predictions for 2045—be sure to tune into Gabbing Geek episode 1,624 to see if we’re right!   Next up is Pitch Please!  We each take turns making out pitch for Back to the Future part 4.  Take a listen and let us know your favorite!   Finally, we end with a Watson trivia game about news from 2015, 1985, and 1955.  Since it’s a Watson trivia contest, it’s guaranteed to end badly.  Find out how badly by listening to this episode right now!   Like what you're hearing?  Be sure to share this podcast with your friends and give us a review on iTunes over at http://bit.ly/gabbinggeek   Be sure to check out our awesome new web site at http://

Episode 55, Not A Fangirl, was originally supposed to include our Geek Book Club segment on the book Fangirl.  But as you probably guessed from the title, we didn’t have the book club because 33% of our podcasters didn’t finish the book.  We won’t say who, but it was Watson.  Instead we filled it with some fun content and plenty of jokes at Watson’s expense.  Basically, every other episode of Gabbing Geek.   In our Geekiest News of the Week (GNOW) we cover returning TV shows like the amazing second season of Gotham and Jenny updates us on her Lego Dimension experience.   We all saw The Martian, did you?  If not, SpoilerBot makes his triumphant return to tell you when to skip ahead because we need to talk about the movie in all its glory.   Finally, since Watson prevented our regularly scheduled content he made up for it by conducting a Watson level trivia game all about aliens.   Like what you're hearing?  Be sure to share this podcast with your friends and give us a review on iTunes over at http://bit.ly/gab
