Hi all! I’m getting ready to head out the door to drive down to SDCC 2015 for preview night, so I don’t have time to write a lot of clever stuff here. If you are around at the con make sure you find us and say “hi.” Jason will be lurking around the Entertainment Earth booth and I have two ActionFigureInsider panels you can check out. I’m sure we will both have plenty of stories to tell when it’s all over. Let’s look at the topics we cover in this pre-San Diego Comic Con 2o15 episode! In this epi...

Aaaaand we’re BACK! It’s been a few weeks, but there was a “secret” episode in the meantime in form of my Wondercon panel that Jason was a panelist. (I should have that up on the ActionFigureInsiderTV YouTube channel soon). Jason and I also got to hang out a bit at Star Wars Celebration, so while we might not have been recording we were still talking all things geek. Since you have all be so patient awaiting our return we are giving you a super jumbo deluxe episode! There was SO much great geek ...

Oh man! Another gap between episodes? Yes. Yes it’s true. Both Jason and I have been traveling a bit this Spring so our schedules have been a little wonky. I just got back from Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle and Jason ran off to the Twin Cites for a bit, so we were literally running in opposite directions! But don’t worry, we will be reunited this Easter weekend as he is a guest on a panel that I’m moderating this Friday at WonderCon in Anaheim! (more on that below!) Whenever there is a gap b...

This weekend kicks off Toy Fair 2015 so since I have an action figure website and Jason has a toy company it only makes sense that we spend a good chunk of this episode talking about toys and the toy industry. We have quite a bit of “behind-the-scenes” toy talk in this episode so we didn’t get to cover all of the topics we wanted to cover, but if there was ever a time to talk toys it’s the week before the “big show!” I’m really excited about all of the new reveals… but not so excited about the w...

We can still say “Happy New Year” to each other since it’s still January, right? I thought so. There’s a lot of housekeeping/catch up in this episode. Since it’s been a few weeks between episodes and there was a holiday “break” we had a chance to see and catch up on a lot of stuff from toys to movies to television. Plus we start ramping up our excitement for the Toy Fair 2015 reveals! It’s our first all new episode for 2015! Enjoy! In this episode we discuss: Agent Carter mini series on ABC Dani...

We can hardly believe that it’s been 3 years since we first launched the Geek Shall Inherit podcast, but the numbers… and dates don’t lie. It was 3 years ago THIS WEEK that we launched the Geek Shall Inherit podcast with episode one, and we have been talking pop culture ever since! True to form, even expanding this episode to two hours, we STILL don’t get to every topic that we wanted to cover in this episode! But we do squeeze in a LOT in these 120 minutes. Once again there is a LOT of new topi...

You probably noticed that there was a bit of a gap between episodes, but if you are at all internet savvy you will have found both Jason and I talking about pop culture stuff on a couple of other podcasts. There’s been an avalance of pop culture news the past few weeks so in this episode we try to do a speed round to get through as many of the topics as possible. So strap your ears down. We’re going to blaze through some topics! In this episode we discuss: Is Toy Story 4 nessicary? Are you excit...

Sorry this episode is a little later than expected. I’ve been a bit busy trying to rally 40,000 collectors to make their voice heard by Toys R Us over this Breaking Dad toy controversy. It’s taken up a lot of my week, but it’s been well worth it as we have quadruple the signatures that the FloridaMom got on her “outrage” petition. I’m SURE will will talk about this next episode as Jason knows a thing or two about “outraged” moms getting figures pulled out of Toys R Us. Next weekend is the big St...

We are NOT at New York Comic Con this weekend… but we wish we were. At least I THINK we wish we were. There was a report published on Thursday that NYCC had surpassed SDCC in attendance. And not just by a little, by something like 20,000 people! They say there are roughly 130,000 + people allowed in the San Diego Convention center each year for SDCC now. NYCC at the Javits is said to have 150,000+ and from the reports I’m reading today… it’s still fun. It’s not the beating that SDCC has become. ...

Happy National Podcast Day everybody! Thank you for listening and sharing it with us here at the Geek Shall Inherit podcast! If you dig what we do on GSi this would be the perfect opportunity to recommend us to a friend on this national day of podcast celebration. We love talking all things pop culture with each other and with you folks, but there’s always room for more at the table. So check out this all new episode of the Geek Shall Inherit podcast, and then go check out some other new podcast...

For all of you folks that have been asking for more toy talk on the podcast, then this is the episode for you! We talk a little bit of music, a little bit of catch up and then we dive deep in our plastic lives and talk toys. I don’t think we talk about a single move in this episode. See, we like to switch things up about every 111 episodes just to keep it all fresh! In this episode we cover: LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham – Coming November 11th in North America and November 14th globally. Queen’s ...

I hope all of you US listeners are enjoying the long holiday weekend. I know I am. Here we are at our alliteration episode, number 111… is it still alliteration if it’s with numbers and not letters? As we discuss in this episode we now live in a world with a 12th Doctor, and just yesterday we got word that Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is now the highest grossing film of 2014. So there’s lots of great things happening in the world of geek right now and we are just the two men to talk about it...

If you are someone that covers comic con in the media, just because SDCC ends after 5 days doesn’t mean it’s over. I’m still slogging through getting coverage put up. ALL my photos are live right here , but I still have some videos and interviews that are coming. That also means this episode is going up about a week later than I wanted to post it. So to make it up to you this is a longer episode. A lot happened and there’s a lot of stuff to talk about from both of our experiences and all the new...

July is a magic month for geeks like us. There’s summer movies, new toys, and San Diego Comic Con. So much goodness is happening for pop culture fans that we never need to go outside in the sun at all. We will be heading out to the big show this week. You can follow my exploits on ActionFigureInsider.com as well as the AFi Facebook page , the AFi Twitter account AND the AFi instagram account . Jason will be lording over SDCC from the 2nd floor the EntertainmentEarth “castle” booth. In this episo...

Everyone relax. We’re OK. While it may SOUND like we were taking heavy fire in the middle of a war zone, that’s just life in Los Angeles. I can assure you that no hosts were harmed during this recording. It is common in the greater LA area that teens and punk kids set off fire works in the middle of the street all day an all night starting around June 30th and lasting until July 10th. Now you will also get to experience that while you listen to this episode. But we are able to mostly ignore all ...

You are joining us at a very special time. This happens to be Jason’s favorite episode. What makes this 107th installment his favorite? You are just going to have to listen and find out! Ah Summer! It’s a great time to be a geek. Summer Movies! Summer Conventions! Summer Fashions…. wait? Fashions? That’s not nerdy… unlesss… It’s time to put together your Summer reading list and hit the beach! But make sure you bring your iPods, your laptops and your Zunes so you can still listen to the podcast! ...

We’re back on a Monday! Ha-cha! Summer is almost upon us and Comic Con 2014 is just around the corner! I feel the pressure of the con SCREAMING towards me! I’ve got so much I still need to do before the con hit that I really shouldn’t even be here typing this now. One quick disclaimer – In this episode I mention a letter that surfaced last week from Stanley Kubrick to a studio attempting to make a sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey . It’s a fun story, but it’s been proven that the letter is a lie a...

AAIIIIIGGGGGHHH! Pop Culture overload! There’s too much awesome coming at us too fast! If we miss even a week of this podcast the topics just pile up so much that we can’t pack it all in! Costume reveals, movie titles announced, new toys released and directors dropping out of projects. It all happened and we talk about it all here in episode 105! In this episode we discuss: Official Movie Title Announced – Batman v. Superman Dawn of Justice BvS:DoJ Batman suit and Batmobile reveal We both saw X-...

Sorry it’ been a bit long between episodes but Jason and I both had to fly out of the country this past week so we could attend the Kanye/Kim wedding. Well, I was attending, Jason was heading up the catering. But a good time was had by all, and no expense was spared for this third sham wedding for Kim Kardasian and her baby daddy! Actually, the delay was technical difficulties that we should have worked out now and we’ll be back on track. We recorded this episode over a week ago, but are just no...

Sloth skin smoking jacket? Say THAT 20 times fast! Welcome back everyone. As we mention in the intro this is another episode of GSi after-dark: Evening Edition. Listen close to your instructions on how to listen to this episode and the dress code. At long last I have seen the new Captain America movie so that we can discuss it on the show. If you haven’t seen it yet, I don’t want to be the one that spoils anything, so run out and see it really quick while it’s still in theaters and then come bac...

From the ‘Happiest Place on Earth’ to the hippest Pod Cast on the planet. We recorded this episode shortly after my recent visit to Disneyland so we discuss the tragic loss of my Dodgers hat, finding the Rocketeer and the Droid Factory has come to So Cal! Then, from the delightful to the bizarre: the UK Dentist who bought John Lennon’s tooth announces plans for it… and his plans are probably weirder than you think. But that’s not why you called today – you want to hear about the Podcast… In this...

With episode 100 behind us we move on to episode 101, which I consider to be “well into our 100’s.” Thanks everyone for all the great feedback on Episode 100. We enjoyed reading all of the comments. Now we hope to back on a more regular schedule. By the time you read this and hear this episode we already have the next one in the can so look for it this time next week. It’s mostly been the news of Letterman retiring next year that has thrown us off our game. I’ve just found it so hard to get out ...

HAPPY 100!!!! We’ve been talking about it so long it’s hard to believe that it’s finally here – Episode 100. As we’ve mentioned before the idea for Jason and I to do a podcast together was born out of an interview, and aside conversation at SDCC 2010, and from there it has grown into “the little podcast that could” with well over 100 hours of original content and listeners all over the world. As a 100 episode treat, here are a couple of behind-the-scenes photos from that very conversation/interv...

Happy 100 Eve! Here we are, 2 years later about to hit episode 100! But let’s not get ahead of ourselves yet. We still have a full line up of pop culture chat here in episode 99 for you to enjoy. I’m back from Toy Fair and my trip to the frozen north. How do you people live that way? Actually it wasn’t so bad while I was there, but I get why everyone is sick of the weather at this point. I saw so much great stuff at this year’s show, and it was great to catch up with everyone. .We’ll cover some ...

It’s that time of year again, when someone decided 111 years ago to hold an annual trade show for toys in New York City in the middle of February, and just like clockwork there’s some sort of snowpocalypse, polar vortex, winter storm, record snowfall event gripping the city. And once again I’m heading east to freeze my ball-joints off just for the opportunity to cover and see all the latest and greatest in plastic pop culture goodness. Yes. Toy Fair 2014 is here! But to help you pass the handful...

We’re still on a weekly schedule, just not back on Mondays yet. We need a 8 day week so we can catch up and get back on track. I think I’m gonna make some calls about that. I’m having a love affair with these new retro toys. Between Funko’s ReAction, what Zica is doing and even those custom figures from Iron Cow, I’m just sunk. I didn’t think I was going to fall so hard for them, but I’m really into them, which makes me all the more worried about what all I will see at Toy Fair next week. Jason ...

I’ll bet you thought we weren’t back on track and were going to have another skip week, didn’t you? Boy were you wrong! Sure we’re a few days late from our regular Monday posting, but that was just out of our respect for Dr. King and not because we were busy and stuff. But we ARE here with a new episode for the week and it’s another 90 minute one! So let’s get to the show! This week we discuss: Daniel is reading Sensible Redhorn by Tim Holter Bruckner . Jason has already pre-ordered Here Come th...

Ok. The holidays are over, we had our fun, but now it’s time to get back to work! We had a nice little break these past few weeks to visit with family. I darn near froze to death out in the mid-west and the “polar vortex” and Jason had his mom in town. We hope all of you also had a lovely holiday season, however you celebrated and we wish you all a happy new year! It is a new year now, and we missed you guys (and each other), so we are back with an all new episode chocked full of geek goodness a...

Ok… it’s not really a mid-season break. We’re both such jet-setters, traveling the globe that it was a little hard to connect for a few weeks there, but we’re back with an all new episode of pop culture discussion. We had to come back THIS week, after all on Dec 12th it’s our 2nd anniversary of launching the ‘Geek Shall Inherit’ podcast! Can you believe that? 2 years worth of episodes! That’s crazy to me. But as we’ve said before, what makes it all worth is is you folks listening, Thanks for all...

We recorded this episode last Friday while the city of San Fransisco was in the middle of making a 5-year old boys dream come true. Where geek and non-geek came together to transform the city for a greater cause. Thousands of people to donated their time, their energy and their efforts to transform the city by the bay into Gotham: complete with Batmobiles, super villains, a special edition of the newspaper, and a hero getting the key to the city. It just shows the power of people when they come ...
