This week we are joined once again by Professor Dave Rand-McKay! He teaches Human Geography and is here to talk to us about the rise of young people who identify as having no religion. It is a trend that is growing among all religions and across the entire world. So what does that mean for the future? What does it mean when those of us who don’t believe in god are the *gasp* majority?
This week, we are joined by local comedian Ben San Del, who is talking about the concept of Free Will. Is free will something that can even exist? Or is every action we take the product of everything that has happened prior? For that matter, what does the concept of self even mean? It’s heady stuff and Tim isn’t entirely on board with it, which is pretty much what happens when you get more than two people talking about philosophy. Tim should know – he was a philosophy minor....
OmegaCon just happened and we all had a chance to play some new games! We didn’t play quite as many as usual but we still found some good ones for you to try if you are interested! We also talk about our first attempt at “Chillification Tennis!”
Hard to believe that we’ve made it almost 600 episodes in and this is our first episode about Astrology! We could have been doing a weekly horoscope for our listeners! What a missed opportunity!

This week we are talking about our response to the latest Disney Plus Star Wars series: Ahsoka! We are definitely going to spoil the show so if you haven’t watched it yet, maybe wait on this episode and come back later.

Whoop! Send some in!...

Mike also provides us with five very thoughtful questions!
This week we are joined by our most frequent guest and DC apologist – Ronn Bauman! He’s with us to talk about the recent Flash movie starting Ezra Miller and Michael Keaton. So what did he think? What other movie that is clearly superior does he like less than this one? And what did Molly, Nick, and Tim think? You might be surprised. But what won’t surprise you is that we spoil the shit out of the movie!...
This week we are joined by longtime listener and first time caller Marc Tucker to talk about fighting games!

Our podcast started out at CONvergence many years ago and it is still our favorite weekend of the year!
This week, we talk about the “Barbie,” a movie that surprised all of us because it was so damn good. Margot Robbie and Ryan Reynolds star in a film that manages to pack a lot of surprises in a movie about a doll. This episode will spoil the shit out of the film so if you needed the Geeks Without God seal of approval, this film gets it!
This week’s episode was recorded live at CONVergence. Because it was recorded live, the possibility of technical difficulties goes up and indeed, about five minutes before the end of the episode, our mixer turned off! Fortunately, we had a recording taken in the room that is fairly poor sound quality but we were able to play with it enough to hear what’s going on. Sorry for the abrupt sound issues about 20 minutes in! We had a lovely conversation with Jerry Belich, who was chosen at random from ...

This week, we talk with frequent guest Ronn Bauman about a recent exchange he had with a (former) fan of the Tortuga Twins. While we don’t want to get too deeply into it, the (former) fan had an issue with a portion of the show in which they supported transgender rights. We talk about what the audience wrote, what Ronn and his fellow castmates wrote in response, and our response to all of it. There was some SERIOUS connectivity problems when we recorded and some of the audio is hard to understan...
This week, we are looking at Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Look, this movie is great. Not just great for a super-hero movie or great for a Spider-Man movie. It’s just great. So don’t let us spoil it for you. Go watch and you’ll be glad you did. Then listen to the episode!

Probably. Who knows, really? In any case, we spoil the shit out of all the stuff that happens in Season 3 and you want to see it for yourself so go watch it!
This week, we discuss a surprising series from Freevee that we all ended up watching – Jury Duty! This reality show is about one person serving on a jury where the entire trial is fake. All the other jurors are actors. As are the judge, the witnesses, the lawyers, and everyone in the building where the trial is taking place. It also features James Marsters as himself. The show is surprisingly charming because it turns out the subject is just a genuinely decent person. We are going to spoil a bit...
