Stay tuned later this week for more analysis and gushing, but for now, here's a trailer breakdown and a quick (ish) recap of what happened on Friday!
We're still here! After a lengthy hiatus and some serious time away from the things we love, we are back and ready to once again help fans everywhere evade the pitfalls and dastardly tactics of gatekeepers!

Holy Podcast Batman! It's our 25th episode! And it's a podcast about podcasts and it gets a little explicit. Sorry Mom. The podcastberries taste like podcastberries! Today we're talking with our ol' pal Scooter, but we're also joined by his lovely wife Jenny And to make matters more complicated, Mitch Thompson and Molly Sanchez from Failure to Launch were there too! They're the ones that helped us get started with this whole thing! BUT WAIT. THERE'S MORE! We also have an interview with Ming Chen...
Almost-Doctor Erik joins us this week to discuss the musical stylings of Coheed and Cambria! Why discuss a band on a geek podcast you ask? BECAUSE WE CAN DO WHAT WE WANT. Also because the band's entire discography is related to a single fictional universe that has comic book and novel tie-ins! Erik tells us what approach you should take when exploring the band's musical stylings so that Bryce can finally give them a proper second chance.
We interviewed Nick Colianese, owner and creator of Key Collector, an app designed with the first online database for finding 'key issues' of comic books! He found us at SDCC this last year and we loved his app, but thought it might be good to see how a comic store owner might feel about it! So then we went to The Comic Book Hideout (The comic book store where Bryan and Bryce have their weekly pull subscriptions) and asked Glynnes Pruett what she could tell us about the pros and cons of being a ...
And finally, our four parter Sneaky Geek Goes to Comic-Con comes to a close! We bring Reid and Nick back on for a segment and then head over to Dave Ziegler as he recounts his entire stay at SDCC this year (to the best of his ability given that it happened months ago). Heads up listeners, some feels were had in this episode. We love what we do and love that you listen, so please give us a like, a listen, and then a subscribe! Find us on our socials! @sneakygeekpodcast, @brycerankins, @brom1137...
We're doing this one day at a time thing because we have so many crazy great stories from Comic-Con! From grievances about the Wired Lounge DJ selection (He didn't even have the cupid shuffle! Who doesn't have the cupid shuffle!) to our love of collectibles and the many different directions a con can sometimes take you without you realizing it, we're here to talk about Saturday. Bryce met his hero, Bryan rekindled his excitement for the Dragon Ball franchise (I mean did it need rekindling?) and ...
A TRAILER CAME OUT FOR CAPTAIN MARVEL AND WE ARE EXCITED. (see? all caps. that's how you show excitement.) We go through shot by shot and explain all that we can without spoiling too much for ourselves because we may be here to report on these things but it doesn't mean we're desperate to know the plot before it hits us. We talk about who some of these characters shown are in the comics, give a smidgeon of backstory (not too much though, this one's a quickie) and then talk about what some of thi...
Comic-Con day two was twice as exhausting as day one with twice as many people! So much so that mid-way into recording we wound up giving up and getting distracted and had to record the latter half of the episode weeks later after we recovered! We start at a train station (sorry for the audio) with Tate and end up finishing the episode in a living room with Logan Lirette! Plus Bryan found his white whale of collectible figures: A Darth Revan that wasn't astronomically expensive! We also discuss ...
WE'RE BACK BABY! Season 2 of Sneaky Geek is back with a four part Comic Con break down detailing every day of our stay in the beautiful city of San Diego with the chaotic fabulous exhausting wonderful mess that is navigating the crowds and events surrounding San Diego Comic-Con!

He's a major contributor to our ge...
It finally happened! Our podcast with Dave finally concludes with this humongous conclusion. If you aren't fully capable of catching up with Doctor Who, this podcast (without being too terribly spoilery) will get you all caught up! We talk about what's been happening in the show and behind the scenes, how the fans had handled it, and what other Doctor Who related adventures you can enjoy after the big reboot in the mid-2000s! It's our longest episode ever but hey, when you've got two (and someti...
HOLY CRAP WE MADE IT TO TWENTY EPISODES. I DON'T EVEN MAKE IT ALL THE WAY TO TWENTY JUMPING JACKS! C.S. Lewis once said "When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." and he wrote The Chronicles of Narnia so he's pretty qualified. We all used to put our childish things away but came...
SOLO SPOILERS AHEAD! We saw another Star War! Because we live in a beautiful time where not only do we get a new Star Wars story every year but we also can set up a microphone and a laptop in my car and record an episode right after we see it! We briefly go over all that we loved in the new Star Wars film Solo: A Star Wars Story and touch on some of the easter eggs we noticed on our first viewing! Find us on our socials! @sneakygeekpodcast, @brycerankins, @brom1137...
This week in Sneaky Geek, we got comic store owners, board game designers, professional artists, cosplayers, and comic slingers all here to tell you the ups and downs of their passions!

Special thanks to our guests: Dave Baker and Nicole Goux @xdavebakerx and @NGoux Brian Mosely and Kenny Car...
SPOILER ALERT! If you haven't seen Avengers: Infinity War then you might want to go watch that right now! Go! Watch that thing! If you have though, Cinematographer Logan Lirette joins us to weigh in on his thoughts both as a geek and a film buff. Also Bryce is sick so he sounds disgusting. Find us on our socials! @sneakygeekpodcast, @brycerankins, @brom1137
So you remember that time when we had a full schedule and everything was coming together for a great second half of our first season? And then remember that time that Bryce dropped his hard drive and lost all of his archives? Pepperidge Farm Remembers, but Bryce's hard drive doesn't. It doesn't remember anything. So here's where we're at and here's what you should know going forward!
A long time ago when we first started making this podcast we sat down with Dave and discussed Doctor Who. It went well. But now it's back! So we are here to get you entirely up to date on what has happened with the Doctor Who series. We got industry insights, we got outdustry outsights, we got wibblies and wobblies and timies and wimies. We have real words and fake words. From "extended hiatus" to "Whoboot." We got it all here for you in part one of our Christmas Spectacular!...
Bryce and Dave sit down to expand on the Thor Ragnarok conversation some more by going deeper into the original lore that inspired the original comic stories that inspired the film. We expand on many of the characters within the film and some of their best stories in their many runs over the years. So sit back and soak up the wealth of knowledge Dave continually spews any time he starts talking comics. Also I apologize for this pun title. It's not my best.
My fellow geeks, Bryan and Bryce present to you the State of the Podcast address. It's a lot like The State of the Union address, and about as long once you take out the embellishments, the bragging, and the applause. Plus we call out one loyal listener and start our first giveaway!
SPOILER WARNING: THIS IS SO FULL OF SPOILERS. SO SO VERY FULL OF THEM. Sleepy and coming down off of their excitement from the film, Bryce and Bryan, joined by the lovely Florence Bullock (Known as Glitbiter in the synth world) sit down in Bryan's car and quickly give their thoughts as to The Last Jedi and how much they loved it.
In this spoiler free lead up, Bryan and Bryce discuss what books in the expanded Star Wars canon are most helpful in fully understanding The Last Jedi. Recorded before The Last Jedi's release date, there are a number of guesses you might find didn't quite turn out as they thought, but that's half the fun of predictions! Learn where to look to find more information about your favorite Star Wars characters!
In this quick little extension of our Justice League recap episode, our comic book historian, Dave Ziegler gives us some books to read up on so we can learn more about The Justice League and all of their members. SPOILER WARNING: There are plenty of spoilers here too! Don't be fooled by the short episode we pack in a lot more than you'd expect! Find us on our socials! @sneakygeekpodcast, @brycerankins, @brom1137
Dave joins us once again to talk about The Justice League! We go by character by character and discuss the excitement we feel about the film while still acknowledging some of the pitfalls it has as well. We also discuss the style differences between Zach Snyder and Joss Whedon and how it affected the final product. SPOILER WARNING: The whole episode is Justice League Spoilers. Did you read the title?
