Welcome back everyone. We hope you all had lovely Halloweens where ever and how ever you spent your All Hallows Eve. Mine was great. We even dressed up the dog again this year so it was a family affair. Now we slide on into November. A time of next generation game consoles, Black Fridays and a new move from Marvel Studios. It’s a good time to be a geek! Jason is back from “The Big Apple” and we’ve got a lot of stuff to talk about this week! In this episode we discuss: The Thundermans on Nickelod...

Happy Halloween everyone! Sorry this episode is a little later this week, but since we’re such a fan of the season it works out that we post this episode on “All Hallows Eve.” In this episode we discuss: That 2 minute AMAZING Bruce Timm/Zach S Superman 75th animated clip . Lou Schimer, co-founder of Filmation, passed away . Our friend Chris Roach wrote the awesome new Liam Neeson movie “Non-Stop.” Check out the trailer here . Agents of SHIELD picked up for a full season (still slipping in rating...

Ninety episodes. That just doesn’t seem possible. And the saddest part is in all that time, all these episodes, all these hours… we’re still not any better at this than when we started. But here we are once again on a Monday with an all new hour of geek speak for you all with an all new batch of topics ripped from today’s headline. The countdown to episode 100 is on now. I can’t believe how quickly we got here. Now we really have to get planning something! In this episode we discuss: Batman: Ark...

Welcome to October everyone. As you all know we have now entered Jason’s favorite time of year. For him, October is all about “monster movies all the time, scary movies, eating more candy than you should and even the odd Halloween toy.” I think those are all things we can get behind! We spend the first 20 or so minutes talking about all things Halloween and I’m sure this won’t be the last time we touch on the topic this month… and if Jason has his way through the rest of the year. But the hard t...

We missed another week and it’s all Jason’s fault. It’s ok. I’m not being a jerk. He said we can blame it all in him, so that’s what we’re gonna do! But we’re gonna let that slide because he has a great excuse. If you listened last episode you know he was in Chicago meeting artist Alex Ross face to face after talking to him for years. We get to hear a little bit about that meeting in this very episode. In this episode we discuss: New Sandman comic series coming this month by Neil Gaiman called ‘...

Jason has some amazing mind powers. In the intro to this episodes he predicts that machines will go haywire in the day we record… and 10 min later we had an equipment failure while we were recording. The episode was seamlessly edited back together by my lovely bride, but still… it’s spooky. And not just because of his predictions coming true… but also because in this episode we also find out that he knows a LOT about the show “7th Heaven.” I think we all need to keep our eye on that guy… there’s...

I didn’t get my homework done in time for this episode so you don’t get to see the pictures of my Hot Toys Hulk fighting my new Arkham City Solomon Grundy that Jason requested. I still had family in town and we were running all over the city. Maybe I can get that together for next week. We’re open to your suggestions on what you’d want to hear as part of the upcoming episode 100. It’s going to be here before we know it so if you want to hear something let us know! We take off on some tangents in...

Hey everybody… it’s not Monday, but still here’s a new episode for the week. Sorry this one it a bit late. The in-laws have been in town all week and we’ve been doing wall-to-wall “touristy” things to show them Los Angeles, our fair city. Also it’s my lovely bride that cuts together all the episodes and she’s been playing the hostess all week. But, I don’t feel that bad for you kids… you got two episodes last week after all! Speaking of the bonus episode last week, there is a little more “Batfle...

It’s hard doing a (mostly) weekly show. You gather up all the topics, the hot button issues the news of the week, you record, get the episode in the can… and then some MAJOR news story drops that you want to talk about. Then what do you do? Wait a week (or more) and talk about it after the fact? Or mobilize and chat while the news is still fresh? I think you all might have heard some genre movie casting news this week that threatened to burn the internet to the ground. Maybe you guys heard somet...

We missed another week in there, but don’t worry, we’re going to make it up to you by giving you a double dose of GSi! As you know the internet has been on fire for the past few days with one single topic… and it’s NOT Miley Cyrus twerking. Something more along the lines of some major genre casting news. This episode today is a regular, multi-topic episode and then midweek we give you another full episode on one single topic. That’s a first of it’s kind for us. But, let’s not get ahead of oursel...

I don’t think there was any doubt in anyone’s mind that we would be discussing the news of the actor cast as the 12th Doctor in ‘Doctor Who.” But that’s just a drop in the bucket of all of the topics we cover in this hour. We hit it and move on because there’s too much going on in the world of pop culture in the past 2 weeks to devote a whole episode to one topic. So if you’re not a Who fan, don’t worry, there’s still plenty of geek chat for you here this week as well. In this episode we discuss...

We are still basking in the afterglow of SDCC 2013. This year’s con was terrific, but just nuts! Jason and I weren’t able to connect at the show at all this year, much less record an episode, but as soon as we got back home to real life we put together this episode for you all. It was a great con for both of us. Jason has some awesome BifbangPow! news… that he can’t quite share with us yet. You can check out all of Daniel’s SDCC coverage on www.ActionFigureInsider.com and you can check out all o...

We’re back! Both Jason and I are back from our travels and we’ve managed to squeeze in a podcast before San Diego Comic Con International 2013 starts tomorrow evening. If you’re one of the folks that live close enough to drive to SDCC why don’t you throw on this hear podcast to help you pass the time. It’s a good 90 minutes of pop culture appetizer before the 5 day geek feast that is Comic Con. And this might just be Jason’s 10 anniversary at the con… the ballots are still being counted. In this...

Hey everyone – Happy Independence Day week for you US listeners. I hope you all have a happy and safe 4th of July. Jason and I are both traveling this week. I’m in Amer’cas heartland and Jason is overseas. Today I ate my weight in BBQ and then went and bought $100 in fireworks that are covered in popular copyright infringed characters so, God bless America! We’re in much better spirits this week having worked through our “Man of Steel” emotions. Thanks to everyone that wrote in with your thought...

This is another jumbo episode clocking in at 1 hour 45 minutes. We actually debated splitting this episode and doing one regular episode and a bonus episode just talking about “ Man of Steel ,” but ultimately decided to just keep it all together as it would almost be impossible to separate the two, as our thoughts and feelings on Man of Steel leak into other parts of the conversation. If you haven’t seen Man of Steel yet, don’t worry. We save the spoiler filled talk until the end of the episode ...

I hope all of you Dads out there had a great Father’s Day and Father’s Day weekend. I know I did! We do a bit of reminiscing on our dads in this episode and their influence on our geekdom in this episode. My dad and his music, Jason’s dad and movies and both dad’s relationship to technology now. We both saw Man of Steel over the weekend so we’ll be bringing you our thoughts on that in next week’s episode. This week we discuss: – Daniel hit E3 last week and got his hands on the Playstation 4 as w...

Well I hope you have all recovered from your Tony Award watching parties. I know Jason spent the whole day Sunday cooking themed dishes for his event. You all remember how he couldn’t stop crying while watching Les Mis. I’m sure this was more of the same. How about you? Did your favorite Broadway musical win last night? Personally I was rooting for “Pippin” to win. As you might imagine the announcement of Mat Smith leaving Doctor Who at the end of the year would be a topic of conversation with u...

Wow. Episode 75. Superman turns 75 years old this year and we just hit 75 episodes. Same thing, right? We’ve both absorbed the entire new season of Arrested Development on Netflix and we are ready to talk about it. My viewing started about 12:20am on Sunday morning. Jason started on Sunday afternoon of the holiday weekend but has already watched it once all the way thought and started on a second viewing. That’s what the experts now call “binge viewing” whereby you watch hours of back to back ep...

Happy Memorial Day everyone. I hope you are having a nice long weekend while keeping in mind the sacrifice of those that served our country and gave us our freedoms. We’re back with another Monday and an all new episode. We get a little philosophical about “back in our day” in this episode and do quite get to our full list of topics that we had planned, but it’s all still in the name of geek culture and how our generation consumes media as opposed to the current generation. In this episode we di...

Hi everyone. Sorry we’re a bit late this week with the new episode, but that life thing keeps happening all around us despite our best efforts to live exactly how we wish to. But we still got in a full 90 minute episode for the week and have enough topics that we didn’t get to for next weeks episode! We get a little unexpected p0litical in this episode, but it’s as a result of a pop culture event. As always your mileage may vary. We both saw Star Trek Into Darkness so we can finally talk about i...
