Hello again! We’re almost firing on all cylinders and back to normal with some nerd news and a podquestion for you but we’re holding off on this weeks streaming review since Bat has been battling with a New Year sickness. This weeks Nerd news includes: Final Fantasy 9 on PC and iOS, Michael Bay back for Transformers 5, Krang reveal for TMNT, Occulus price revealed, M Night to head up new Tales from the Crypt and Star Wars TFA passes Titanic for Number 1 domestic movie of all time.

We’re giving this movie another week to gestate while Bat’s on the mend. I’ve seen a bit of the beginning and can say it’s already got me a bit interested. so why not give this fan suggestion of unBranded from Mando a watch and send us your thoughts.

Just like our dear friend Mando, you can suggest streaming movies that you want us to watch and review on future episodes that are on Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime or HBOgo.

Hello for the first time of 2016! We are back and ready to dive back into podcasting for you, our dear listeners. We’re going to start this year off with a review of last year. Including Favorite/Worst Theatrical Movies, Favorite/Worst Streaming reviews, Favorite Games, some of our favorite memories and what we’re looking forward to this next year.

Thanks to everyone for all the feed back and shout outs for our Star Wars: The Force Awakens spoiler chat-cast. We had so much fun putting it together and honestly we are thinking about doing it again, maybe for Batman V Superman. So keep your ears pealed!

We’re also starting up this year with our first streaming suggestion from a listener/guest of the show, Mando, who recommended we watch Unbranded. This one’s a documentary about horse, that’s all he’d tell us but he did say it was good so it’s on our docket! Give the trailer a gander below if you’re interested in joining in on the streaming fun.

Just like our dear friend Mando, you can suggest streaming movies that you want us to watch and review on future episodes that are on Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime or HBOgo.

Hello my dear geeks.  You’re tuning into a very, very special episode of Sprecken ze Geek.  We’re going full tilt spoilers on Episode VII: The Force Awakens.  You’re more than welcome to tune into the beginning to hear opinion on whether or not you should see the movie in the theater (this part is spoiler free)  but once that’s done we give you a couple of warnings and then just dive into the movie.  You have been warned.  If you haven’t seen the movie, download and file this one away and come back to us soon.

With all of that Jibber Jabber out of the way lets get on with the show.

That’s pretty much all of what you’re in for this week’s Podcast.  It was a short blurb but damn it, I’m trying to keep this shit as spoiler free… unlike that little bastard who walked out after the movie shouting off… man I wanted to punt that little bastard.  Be sure to tune in next week. Same Hammer Time, same Bat Channel.

Hello everyone and thanks for coming back for another episode of Sprecken ze Geek.

This Episode marks the 4th week on our march onto The Force Awakens and our first (in a while anyways) foray into the original trilogy with our “streaming review” of Episode IV: A New Hope. This week we go through the announcements from Playstation Experience and our experiences at this years Fanfest. Funny enough another little company called Warner Bros also decided to drop another trailer for a little indy film called Batman V Superman, so we also discuss our thoughts on the trailer.  If you wanted to avoid possible spoiler talk about BvS skip from 38:34 to 52:47 and you’ll skip right past it all.

Next week we’re continuing our journey into the original trilogy of Star Wars with Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.  I’m really excited to watch this one again simply because I remember loving it.  But as with the rest of the movies we’ve watched the it’s been a couple of years since I’ve last seen it.  You know the drill, Trailer is down below if want to refresh you memory.

For the next 2 weeks (holy shit only 2 weeks left!) our streaming reviews are going to be taken up by the Star Wars movies but we still want you to send us your reviews of this weeks choice or even suggestions for future episodes streaming review on Hulu, Netflix or HBOgo.  We will happily bank these for after The Force Awakened has come out.

Please send these to us using any of the means below.

Hello everyone and thanks for coming back for another episode of Sprecken ze Geek.

This Episode marks the 3rd week on our march onto The Force Awakens as well as our closing thoughts on the prequel trilogy with our “streaming review” of Episode III Revenge of the Sith. Also a little company called Marvel decided to drop a trailer for a little indy film called Cap 3: Civil War, so we also discuss our thoughts on the trailer.

Next week we’re continuing our journey by moving into the original trilogy of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.  I’m actually curious to see how this one holds up since it’s been a couple of years since I’ve last seen it.  You know the drill, Trailer is down below if want to refresh you memory.

For the next 3 weeks (holy shit only 3 weeks left!) our streaming reviews are going to be taken up by the Star Wars movies but we still want you to send us your reviews of this weeks choice or even suggestions for future episodes streaming review on Hulu, Netflix or HBOgo.  We will happily bank these for after The Force Awakened has come out.

Hello all and welcome back to another episode of Sprecken ze Geek.  This Episode marks the 2nd week on our march onto The Force Awakens with our “streaming review” of Episode II: Attack of the Clones. We also bring you a spoiler free and spoilerfilled review of Mocking Jay Part 2 and discuss a more Star Wars goodness with our review of Battlefront and Disneyland’s Season of the Force.

Episode II: Attack of the Clones.  Oh man does this movie ALSO didn’t age so well.   Though both Bat and myself were surprised that the movie that we once considered the worst of the Prequel Trilogy was actually a bit better than we remembered.  Again the movie is not great or really good but it’s far from the crap fest that we thought it was.  Yes Padame and Anikin’s love story is still atrocious but as Bat points out, if you were to remove that from this movie you’d have a decent sci-fi flick.  This movie actually has a plot that makes more sense, still plenty of holes but the plot is there.  There is also a heck of a lot more action than Ep 1.  Over all this movie has a few more cool scenes and fun action but still felt a bit sloppy overall.

For the next 4 weeks our streaming reviews are going to be taken up by the Star Wars movies but we still want you to send us your reviews of this weeks choice or even suggestions for future episodes streaming review on Hulu, Netflix or HBOgo.  We will happily bank these for after The Force Awakened has come out.

Hello all and welcome back to another episode of Sprecken ze Geek.  This Episode marks the first of our 6 week march to The Force Awakens and we kick it off with our “streaming review” of Episode I: The Phantom Menace.  We also discuss this weeks nerd news including: The return of Nintendo Directs, Cloud in Smash, Pokemon Blue/Red/Yellow coming to Virtual Console, new Fire Emblem, Twilight Princess HD remake, Xbox One topping the charts for October and the list of the 104 backwards compatible 360 games.

This week we re watched the travesty that is Episode I: The Phantom Menace.  Oh man does this movie NOT age well.  Funny enough Bat and I are watching it two different ways.  Bat remastered Bluray and myself watching the first released DVDs.  But neither does this move any favors.  Really the only two things you are missing out if you don’t watch this one are Darth Maul and Duel of Fates… that’s about it.  We really didn’t like this one and if we had to rate this one it would be 2/5 easily.  We also have a fun question to ask of you.  Can you explain the full plot of Episode I in one sentence?  We only ask because we couldn’t do it.

Hello all and welcome back to another episode of Sprecken ze Geek.   Since I went to the theater solo, this week we bring you my spoiler free theatrical reviews of both Specter and Sicario. We also review Circle, our last streaming movie for the month of horror and we continue our review of season 2 of True Detective with episode 5.  This weeks Nerd news includes: Overwatch coming to consoles, Target Games sale, Black Friday Soap Box, New Star Trek TV series and Warcraft movie trailer.

This month’s last streaming suggestion for our 2nd annual month of Horror was Circle.  The trailer pretty much gives you exactly what to expect from the movie.  50-60 people are placed by aliens in a room and have to vote who dies next.  This is very much a character movie with pretty much zero horror.  But with that said it does some interesting things with the character interactions in this demented game show of a movie.  The worst part, and what really kills it for both of us, is that the movie just ends without a rhyme or reason.  There is nothing there to give any context of the possible bigger picture.  That lack of closure brought both of our scores down from 4/5’s to 3/5’s.  We have a hard time recommending this one even with the cool concept.

On a final note you all our listeners.  I wanted to mark a special occasion as yesterday was a special day.  1 year ago I almost lost one of my best friends and one of the greatest co-hosts.  Looking back on it I honestly can’t imagine what this past year would have been there without you in our lives.  I’m grateful for every stupid fart joke and every thoughtful introspective discussion we have and look forward to many more  in the years to come.  This ones for you Bat, cheers!  I drink to your good health.  Life is for the living.

Okay let me wipe the tears out of my eyes and get to it,  For the next 6 weeks our streaming reviews are going to be taken up by the Star Wars movies but we still want you to send us your reviews of this weeks choice or even suggestions for future episodes streaming review on Hulu, Netflix or HBOgo.  We will happily bank these for after The Force Unleashed has come out.

Hello all and welcome back to another episode of Sprecken ze Geek.  While it was a repetitively quite week in terms of news we still find our way to bs around, review this weeks streaming choice of Would You Rather and we continue our review of season 2 of True Detective with episode 4.

This weeks second to last streaming suggestion for our Month of Horror was Bat’s suggestion of Would You Rather. I have to admit that I wasn’t nearly as upset by this movie as I thought I would be.  It was fairly tame, except for the razor blade to the eye… that caused me to walk away from the screen for a bit.  But overall it was just an okay movie, not horrible but not great.  Bat enjoyed this one a little more than myself by giving it 3/5 stars while I gave it 2/5.

Hello all and welcome back to another episode of Sprecken ze Geek.  This week  I give my spoiler free review of Bridge of Spies and we tackle some good oll Nerd News: Fantastic Four rumors, Jessica Jones Trailer, Square Enix to remake older properties and possibilities for alien life ‘found’ on the internet.  We also have this weeks streaming review of Oculus   and we continue our review of season 2 of True Detective with episode 2 and 3.
