40 Going On 14

Before I start this blurb, I feel like there was something I was supposed to remember.   After these films, I don't think I'll ever forget, the Alamo. This week, Billy Bob Thornton and John Wayne are joining the ranks of '40 Going On 14', as we discuss an important part of Texas history.

We're discussing the 1960 classic film and the 2004 retelling and notable box office bomb. How will they stand up to another attack from Mike, Pat, Joel and Josh? You'll have to listen to find out.

Saddle up the horses and join us in the battle cry to never forget the Alamo!

This week's Geek Life Radio Artist/Song of the week is Wesley & The Crushers with Tyfurious!

Wesley And The Crushers · 03 Tyfurious

Day to day can be a mundane existence. We all strive to have a little more adventure in our lives. Walter Mitty lived his life inside his head and chose the daydream over the reality.

We're examining the films 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' starring Ben Stiller and Danny Kaye. We're also examining the reality of their existence and if they truly are mundane or an exciting adventure that teaches us something about ourselves.

Stay focused and in the moment, as '40 Going On 14' are wide awake and dreaming! If only we could stop making that wacky noise that Danny Kaye made.

This week's Geek Life Radio Artist/Song of the week is Kirby Krackle with "Dusty Cartridges & Long Boxes"!

'Ello gov'na!

We're revisiting a topic that we tackled previously from a different angle. On this week's episode, we're talking about the world's greatest detective. No, not Batman and not Jessica Fletcher. If you haven't solved this mystery yet, I'm referring to Sherlock Holmes!

However, we're hitting the cobblestones with the BBC series, 'The Baker Street Boys' and the recent Netflix update, 'The Irregulars'. They're Sherlock's young brigade of street level sleuths, who get into all kinds of trouble.

We've put on our deerstalker and are calling in a favor from Mr. Pipe, in order to crack this case. Turn on your gaslight lanterns and prick up your ears, let us regale you with tales of mystery and mayhem.

Cheerio, mates!

With a history that dates back to 1966, this kaiju fighting hero has deep roots. If you're unfamiliar with Ultraman, then that's about to all change.   Get ready to stomp on some major cities and kick some kaiju keister.

Luckily, we've got more than 3 minutes to spend on the topic. Ultraman, GO! (Also, that's Kate Schellenbach with the Beastie Boys in the pic above!)

This week's Geek Life Radio Song/Artist of the week is "Confessions of a Neckbeard" by Wesley and the Crushers!

Wesley And The Crushers · 02 Confessions Of A Neckbeard

"Wesley", known by many as the very soul of the Crushers, surprisingly did not always see himself as destined for greatness in the musical world. Many years ago, at a pivotal point in his life -- failing the entrance exam to the Star-Fleet academy for the third consecutive time -- "Wesley" was approached by the Traveler -- an interstellar being who showed "Wesley" the vision of two possible life courses: one where he is a Star-Fleet Commander, and one where he is a dread-pirate, forever sailing long forgotten seas. Horrified by either option, "Wesley" began screaming in anguish, which, shocking to both him and the Traveler, was actually quite beautiful... and from that moment on, "Wesley" never stopped singing.

Test your might! MORTAL KOMBAAAAAAAAAT!

Fighting games are a huge part of your history as friends. We also have sat through quite a few horrible movie adaptations of those same games. For our big show this week, we're revisiting the game and the original Paul W.S. Anderson movie!

How will it hold up against player 2? That's right, we're loading up HBO Max's brand new 'Mortal Kombat' film to pit them against each other in a fight for the ages. If you have any cheat codes, dust them off and stretch your fingers.

Christopher Lambert is about to be your guide through our 'Mortal Kombat' show. Now, GET OVER HERE! and give this episode a listen!
