We've been meaning to talk about this for weeks, and it's finally here: the Podcast crew and Beau from The Villainous Lair try to figure out what's up with "The All-New Marvel NOW."

With over a dozen titles due to be released, revamped, renumbered, or recycled, there's a lot to talk about. They also discuss Zod, belittle ugly Christmas sweaters, and get really tired of the word "NOW."

This week the crew find themselves in a last minute recording session and nothing ready to talk about!  What instead develops is the aimless ramblings of 3 of the greatest geeks in the world!

Together we discuss Amazon's experimental drone delivery, where if your purchase isn't there in 30 mins or less then it's been shot down by a surface to air missile, Anthony's terrible cooking, Andrew's exercise band, and other manner of geekery.

Listen now and find out where the cold intro comes from!

Get ready for a massive, geektastic, spoileriffic podcast as the crew breaks down the awesomeness that was The Doctor Who 50th Anniversary episode.

With Andrew spending some much-deserved time with his family, Leland from the Movie Issues Podcast joins Anthony and Elizabeth to geek out on every possible element of the episode, and the episodes that led up to it, and what we think might come next. If you're not caught up on Doctor Who, you may want to save this podcast for later. You can catch an episode of Movie Issues instead, Leland's in that too.

The darkest day of the year is nigh upon us, a day where inhuman savages wait under the cover of twilight to pillage poor peddlers of their goods.  It's Black Friday and the Christmas shopping season as begun with its usual insanity.  In preparation the Crew has once again joined forces with the Villainous Lair's Sara and Beau to help you pick the perfect geeky presents for you or your favorite nerd.

On the eve of the PlayStation 4 release we could have just talked about PlayStation games. Or we could talk about all the games, which is a lot more fun.

Join our heroes and heroine and special guest, writer and gaming expert J. Bear (known to his friends as Jordan, and to his enemies as Mr. High School Musical) in a massive next-gen rant as they geek out about tons of great games, past, present and future, and their hopes for the upcoming consoles.

(On a side note, we decided to try holding the mics this week instead of leaving them in their stands because Elizabeth's table is inconveniently low. Turns out, not a good idea. Bad podcasters, no cookie!)

This week the crew is joined by the lovable Jeane Ess ("Genius") from Classics Without All The Class together her and Andrew talk about raising their little geeklings. Along the way everyone talks about their own nerdy upbringing and how to keep their offspring on the geeky path. Together the hard hitting questions are asked, why are the girl toy isles pink? Where are all the tough girls in the action cartoons? And why are girls 50% of the population but still represent so little of the geek voice?

We intended to talk about all sorts of things on this podcast. But once we started talking about our Halloweens, we just couldn't stop.

Join our heroes and heroine as we debrief on Halloween 2013, including, most importantly, the winners for the Comic Issues Pumpkin Contest!

We also tease some people about their age, and some people about their "game." No punches are pulled on this one.
