Geek Salad

1985 may seem like just any other year, but when you get a good look at it, the year yielded some of the biggest classic movies of not only the 80’s, but in cinema.  Now the team at Geek Salad is going to recap them in Part One of Episode 117:  “Mayor Goldie Wilson’s Goldie Oldies!”   Since we went long, we will cover the massive amount of Facebook and Twitter feedback next week in Part Two.   Also, please excuse the technical snafus, as I think the running air conditioner in the background may have made mischief with our audio!  But we had a good reason…it was hot!!!   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!   Also, check out the Podbean App where you can stream and download the entire Geek Salad archive right from your Android or iPhone!  You can get the app at either the Google Play St

Break out your Sword of Power (or Sword of Protection for all the ladies) and flex those overly muscular arms because it's time for Geek Salad episode 116: By the Power of the Fur-Lined Man-Panties! The Geek Salad crew unite to protect Eternia from the forces of evil and discuss He-Man, She-Ra, and all the Masters of the Universe.

Here it is, a little late, but still fun all the same. Cut from episode 115, but saved from the editing room floor (actually a hard drive), is the discussion the Geek Salad crew had on some of the trailers that had their debut at Comic Con. Will Andy's ambivalence for all things DC keep him from enjoying the Batman v Superman trailer? Will Deadpool swear up a storm in his trailer? If you're listening to this clip, you probably already know the answers. Still, it's a fun conversation.

Do you remember the time long ago when Journey made their Escape as foretold by Rush's Tom Sawyer? If you can understand that mash of nonsense, then you must also know that Geek Salad has used their wayback machine to travel back to explore the music of 1981 in episode 115: Juice Box Hero. Join Andy, Mike C, Mike G, Jim, Joe, and Katherine (the band is back together!) as they discuss the highs and lows of 1981 in music. They venture from Dolly Parton's "9 to 5" to Kool and the Gang's "Celebration" and all the way to Rick Springfield's "Jessie's Girl", and all the songs in between.

There have been a lot of truly iconic video game characters over the years, but towering above them all is the most heroic plumber in video game history, Mario! So join Andy, Mike G, Joe, Katherine, and special guest Joe H (Katherine's boyfriend) as they go over Mario's many ups and downs in Geek Salad episode 113: Mario - The True Hollywood Story.

The United Kingdom has provided the world with many things, many of which we actually enjoy! Among them are British sitcoms (Britcoms). From the '60s to more recent times, sitcoms from the British Isles have made us laugh with their unique humor, and the crew of Geek Salad breaks down some of their favorites in Episode 112: Can We Go One Episode Without Mentioning Mrs. Slocombe's Pussy?!? (which seems a lot dirtier when taken out of context) Join Andy, Mike G, Joe, and Katherine as they go over such classics as Are You Being Served?, Blackadder, and Red Dwarf, as well as more recent shows such as Extras and The Thick of It. Then stick around for the trailer for Jem and the Holograms in... no, not Trailer Park. It finds itself in Stupid, Stupid! They then wrap up the show with a spoiler-laden review of Avengers: Age of Ultron.

We're here to talk to you about the Avengers Initiative....   ...and with those words, the Marvel Cinematic Universe kicked into high gear!  From the 2008 release of Iron Man, to last year's surprise hit Guardians of the Galaxy, the MCU has been kicking butt throughout the movie industry.    ...and now Geek Salad is here to rank them...     Thanks to our friends on Facebook, the team of Andy, Mike G., Joe, and Katherine count down from 10 to 1 the favorite films in both Phase 1 and Phase 2, leading up to the May 1st release of Avengers: Age of Ultron.  Which movies will end up lower than expected?  Which movies got more love than usual?  And who will rank supreme?   Then, stay tuned for a trio of Trailer Parks, where the team discuss the latest trailers from Star Wars Episode VII:  The Force Awakens, Batman vs. Superman:  Dawn of Justice, and Ant-Man.    Geek Salad is available at www.geeksalad.podbean.com, or can be subscribed to at the iTunes store by using keyword “geek salad.”

Ahh, advertising, the pandering messages that help pay for your favorite shows. They try to prey on our emotions in all different manners, but now you have a defense against them thanks to Geek Salad episode 110: Cialis and the Dance of the Seven Boners. Join Andy, Mike, Joe, and Katherine as they try and make some sense out of everything from watery American beer to Hulk Hogan's (not George Foreman's) counter-top grill. Nothing will scare them off from their task... except maybe Quiznos' Spongmonkeys. What the hell are those things?!? Afterwards, unwind and relax with some X-Men Stupid Stupid, then wrap things up in wonderfulness as James Bond returns to Trailer Park.

The Internet! The amazing, mystical energy field that holds the universe together... or is that the Force? In any case, without the Internet, we wouldn't have all the wonderful forms of entertainment we do today. In fact, without the Internet, we wouldn't even have Geek Salad episode 107: The Internet! It's Not Just for Porn Anymore! Join Andy, Mike G, Joe, Katherine, and special guest Joe (Katherine's boyfriend) as they go over some of their favorite Internet personalities, shows, podcasts, and general forms of entertainment (porn not included). Making this episode especially ironic is that they recorded it over the Internet thanks to Google Hangouts. So no, for once, the audio quality is not their fault.
