Geek Salad

Have you ever watched a show or movie and see those characters watching a separate fictional show or movie? Then, have you ever thought to yourself that you would actually like to see that fictional property be made for you to enjoy? Well so has the Geek Salad crew, and they decided to share some of their most desired fictional media in episode 212: I'd Watch THAT For A Dollar! Join Andy, Mike G, Joe, Katherine, and Mike C as they discuss some of the fictional properties they would most likely watch were they to ever actually exist. From "Itchy & Scratchy" to "Gekiganger 3", they cover both the well-known as well as the more obscure. But did you really expect anything less from them?

May the 4th be with you as Geek Salad is aided by the wonder of the Disney+ Watch Party feature in their return to the full audio riff of the Star Wars Saga.  The gang can now finally give the Prequel Trilogy the “respect” it deserves, as they riff Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.  This episode can be listened to alongside the movie (in this case, you will need to use the version that appears on Disney+) or as it’s own completely disjointed audio track!  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, as well as being available on Spotify, iHeart Radio and the Google Music app!  Download the apps for your Android, iPhone, or Blackberry at www.stitcher.com!

Growing up, pretty much everyone has seen their fair share of Disney films, be they animated, live-action, or Pixar. And, as anyone who has seen Disney movies can attest to, Disney is very good at tugging at our emotional heart strings and causing even the most hardened individuals to weep openly. So, as a form of emotional catharsis, the Geek Salad crew is here to go through some of those emotional moments in episode 209: Bambi's Mother was Delicious. Join Andy, Mike, Joe, and Katherine as they cover some of the most emotionally tear-jerking moments from Disney films throughout the company's long history. From Bambi alone in the snowy forest, to Miguel singing to Mamá Coco, the gang struggles to hold back their tears (and, might I add, so did the poor editor who had to mix in all those clips).

Nothing teaches a youngster the value of a dollar than having them spend their hard earned scratch on a terrible video game.  In this episode, the gang (joined by Katherine’s husband “Also Joe”) discuss their most traumatic video game buying experiences.  From so many different licensed video games, to awful arcade ports, to just uninterested actors doing voices for beloved franchises, they cover the entire landscape, including the janky controls of the games and Andy’s janky microphone!

Beyond Batman: The Animated Series and all of it's extremely entertaining sequels and spin-offs, DC Animation has given us several other series and animated movies. So Geek Salad have returned to discuss some of those hits (and a few misses) with episode 205: Wendy & Marvin - The Animated Series (Part 2). Re-join Andy, Mike, Joe, and original co-host Mike C as they talk about DC's animated fare from the mid-2000s until 2020. From the cartoonish Teen Titans, to the more serious Young Justice, to the over-the-top Harley Quinn, DC animated series have several varieties of tones and audiences. Was there ever actually an audience for Teen Titans Go, though? The answer might surprise you.

In 1992, DC decided to let Paul Dini, Bruce Timm, and Mitch Brian give the television audience a Batman animated series unlike anything that had ever come before. It was stylistic, it was serious, and it cast Luke Skywalker as the Joker. In short, it was brilliant! That kicked off an era of DC animation that Geek Salad spends a super-sized two-part episode talking about in Geek Salad episode 205: Wendy & Marvin - The Animated Series (part 1). Join Andy, Mike, and Joe as they are joined by a superhero in his own right, original co-host Mike C, and they go over the shows and animated movies which DC Animation has blessed (or occasionally cursed) us with. Here in part 1, we tackle the DC animated shows from the 1990s - Batman to Batman Beyond.

On the 12 days of Christmas, the movies I will see... have been voted on by the listeners of Geek Salad, the crew themselves, their friends and family, and anyone else they could badger for votes. But from all those votes came a list of 70+ films. And the top 12 movies get revealed in Geek Salad episode 204: The Night the Reindeer Died! So join along with Andy, Mike, Joe, Katherine, and Todd as they count down the list. Whether the movie was solely focused on holiday themes, or took place during the holiday season, people had multiple criteria for what they considered to be a Christmas movie. As long as the movies were theatrically released, though, they were eligible. So what movie hit #1? And what movies might the crew disagree on? And thanks to everyone for making a tough 2020 into a slightly less tough year.

From the 1930s till the late 1960s, Warner Brothers made an extensive collection of short cartoons which they called Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies.

Join Andy, Mike, Joe, and Katherine as they go over some of the true classics of the Warner Brothers animation archives.

Since 2008, Geek Salad has attempted to bring you the finest (and sometimes drunkest) of nerdly conversations!  Now, we are proud to present our mega-sized 200th episode, this time with the our very special guests; Nik from the Black Girls Do Stuff Too podcast and Thomas from Movies After Work!  Also joining us in a pre-recorded interview is Em from Verbal Diorama! So while we’ve aged like fine wine, we discuss the things that we used to love that have aged like vinegar.  If it’s a change in attitudes in regards to how we view different ethnic groups or different gender identities, to the poor aging of how our viewpoints in storytelling against things that were popular way back when, we’ve got some really great conversations!
