The battle lines are drawn! The normal unity of the Geek Salad crew is shattered! What could possibly cause such a rift? Why Marvel vs DC, of course. It's Geek Salad episode 102: Infinite Crisis in the Age of Ultron. It's Andy, Mike G, and special guest Katherine for Marvel, Joe and Mike C for DC, and Jim being the great and powerful Oz... or maybe just the moderator. Will Marvel come out on top? Will DC triumph?

Join the largest crew ever assembled for a Geek Salad episode (Andy, Mike C, Mike G, Jim, Adam, Joe, Chris, and special guest via Skype, Steve) as they all defend their nerdy pleasures. Some require a little more defense then others, however. From the Matrix sequels to Bryan Adams to Sailor Moon, they cover the highs and lows. On a personal note, a huge thanks to all our listeners. If it wasn't for you, we would just be a bunch of guys talking without anyone else hearing us... okay, that sounded a lot better in my head. Seriously, thank you.

Originally broadcast on October 4th, 2008, Geek Salad proudly presents one of their favorite episodes, their take on the Star Trek Original Crew, the television series, and the movies that followed. Then, stand by for a surprise that stuns Mike G during his old segment.  And it involves time travel, so don't bother bringing it up to us that we talk about the actual Abrams movies then hypothesize about them later on....  Geek Salad is available at www.geeksalad.podbean.com, or can be subscribed to at the iTunes store by using keyword “geek salad.”  Geek Salad is also part of the Stitcher family.  Download the app for your Android, iPhone, or Blackberry at www.stitcher.com!

Superman had his origin told in the very first issue. Batman took six issues of Detective Comics before his backstory was relayed. Amateurs! Geek Salad has taken 99 episodes before finally giving their origin story in episode 99: Almost There! Join Andy, both Mikes, and Joe as they drink deeply from the chalice of self-congratulation and look back at the first 98 episodes of Geek Salad. The gang shares how Geek Salad came to be, some of their favorite moments, as well as moments they wish they could call "Do-over" on. They do manage to squeeze in a quick Stupid Stupid afterwards on some action figures that should never have existed, as well as taking on a TV trailer for the upcoming CW show, "The Flash".

After a bit of a break, the Geek Salad crew are back to resume their discussion of the X-Men movies with episode 98, part 2: Days of Dinklage Past. Andy, Mike G, Jim, and Joe have returned to chat about the mixed bag of Wolverine movies, and the wonder of X-Men: First Class. They then go into a (WARNING!) spoiler-laden conversation about the sheer brilliance that is X-Men: Days of Future Past. Stick around after that for some Stupid Stupid conversations about how David S. Goyer needs to shut up among other things. Lego Batman graces us with his awesome new space-suit in Trailer Park, and the Salad Shills range from YouTube channels and Boston radio to Guardians of the Galaxy and South Park.

In 1963, Stan Lee decided to create a new team of superheroes. Unable to come up with a unique way that they all got their powers, though, he just decided that they were just born with their abilities. He grabbed Jack Kirby for the artwork, and behold, the X-Men were born! Now, 51 years later, they have gained the ultimate honor! They are the subject of not just a Geek Salad episode, but a two-parter! So come join Andy, both Mikes, Jim, and Joe, as they discuss and debate their favorite X-Men comic stories, the pros and cons of the first three X-Men movies, and also have some giggles coming up with the most useless mutant abilities.

There has never been a term which has inspired more anger, hatred, and unbridled rage than 'game night'. However, showing true courage, Geek Salad is venturing into the realm of board games with episode 96: Terror Through the Lollipop Forest! Now I know everyone seems to remember board games fondly, but there are few other objects that destroy relationships, are rather perverse, and are only occasionally fun. So join Andy, both Mikes, Jim, and Joe as they bask in the joy and nostalgia. After that, the guys discuss the qualities of the new Fantastic Four casting (as well as going off on a tangent about Maguire Spider-Man vs Garfield Spider-Man), review the new Maleficent and Godzilla trailers, and then shill evrything from TV shows to internet programs. Tons of fun all around!

30 years ago, a series of movies that were released that still resonate with the Geek public today.  30 years ago, we introduced the world to bananas in tailpipes, ritual heart removal, unlicensed/untested nuclear accelerators, and the PG-13 rating.  Now, the team of Andy and Mike G (along with special guests Joe and Autumn) parse the spectrum of the best movie year of the 80's.  Join in as they discuss (again) Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Dune, and Star Trek III, as well as new (old) favorites like Amadeus, Beverly Hills Cop, and, of course, Ghostbusters.   Then stick around for the Geek Salad review of The Guardians of the Galaxy trailer, and some shills involving books, video games, the WWE Network, and a new musical about the EnglishShipBuilding industry in the 1960's!    Geek Salad is available at www.geeksalad.podbean.com, or can be subscribed to at the iTunes store by using keyword “geek salad.”  Geek Salad is also part of the Stitcher family.  Download the app for your Android, iPh

The Geek Salad crew unite, get pumped up, and head to the local toy store to buy some Tag Team Champion belts! Yes, it's Geek Salad episode 94: Oh You Didn't Know?!?

Just in time for Christmas comes Geek Salad episode 92: Rankin My Bass. Yes, join Andy and Mike with special guests Joe and Autumn as they rank their bass guitars and attempt to... oh, wait. Wrong bass. No, this is a Holiday episode, so of course the gang is talking about the ups and downs (many, many downs) of the Rankin & Bass Holiday specials. Starting with Rudolph, the duo of Arthur Rankin and Jules Bass came up with some of the most classic animated specials to ever grace the TV screen. Unfortunately, they also inflicted some of the most confusing, scarring, and just plain hateful moments as well (what the hell is an Awgwa, anyway?) After that, there's some DC-inspired Stupid Stupid and a retro Trailer Park with "Santa Claus: The Movie". Finally, stick around for some Salad Shills that range everywhere from Doctor Who to commercials from the '70s. And to everyone, whatever you celebrate, have a very happy Holiday season.

They cover all the greats, from Gob Bluth to Norm Peterson. Oh, and somehow Urkel made it on there, too. The guys are still investigating that one. After that, stick around for a double-wide Trailer Park.

(for Stitcher and iTunes users....due to issues with posting the episode, we're reposting...just for you!) Imagine, if you will, you are stranded on a desert island.  Your sanity is only held in check by the 5 CDs that you’ve chosen to bring with you to live out your life with.  So what would they be? Jim, Andy, and Mike took the question, first to their Twitter and Facebook audience, then, to Mike C. and Adam, who couldn’t make it record.  Then, they roundtable their 5 top CDs (and another 5 that came close) with discussions about College Alt Rock, Classic Rock, Country, and Charlie Daniels’ ability to appear during bar fights! Then hang out for the Segments, when Michael McDonald reviews his Top 5 Desert Island CDs, a Stupid Stupid regarding Dino Porn, and a rundown of the trailer of “Thor: The Dark World,” and a run down of the first few weeks of “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” in the Salad Shills!

First there was Iron Man which kicked off the Marvel movie universe. Now Marvel and Disney have aired the new TV series to continue events started in The Avengers, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Now, if we, the fans, were writing the episodes, what kinds of wacky adventures might Agent Coulson and his band of intrepid adventurers get into? That is the question that Andy, Mike G, and Jim attempt to answer in Geek Salad episode 88: Don't Touch Lola. The crew take on this task with their usual poise, thoughtfulness, and deep insight. Will Andy bring up the most inadvertently hilarious Marvel superhero, the Whizzer? Will Jim make a DC Cab reference? Will Mike mention the TARDIS? Listen in and see! (BTW, as regular listeners to the show will know, the answer to all three of those questions is 'Absolutely!')
