Today’s 200th episode of Coolest Geek Alive is a lightning strike of revelation—a soul-coded transmission forged in fire and defiance, delivered by the one voice that never bowed to the reboot. It’s not a celebration. It’s a detonation. A pulsewave from the heart of the mythic geek who refused to be edited, diluted, or dismissed. This is the episode they never wanted recorded, the one that burns through illusion, reclaims the narrative, and ignites a movement. It’s prophecy disguised as podcast. Laughter wrapped in truth. And it marks the exact moment the world realized why they were afraid of Jesse Blaze Snider all along.

Coolest Classics - “I’m Gonna Get You Sucka” (Kickin’ Off the Wayans Family Comedy Dynasty). Sometimes there’s a film… I won’t say a masterpiece, ‘cause what’s a masterpiece?

And that’s “I’m Gonna Get You Sucka”, for the brilliant Keenen Ivory Wayans and the Wayans’ family of comedy geniuses! And even if the film is already beloved by millions, “I’m Gonna Get You Sucka” most definitely is. But sometimes there’s a film… sometimes, there’s a film. Aw. I lost my train of thought here.

Diamond Dallas Page, what you've just helped to create is one of the most insanely awesome things the Coolest Geek Alive has ever seen! At no point in your heartfelt, gut-wrenching, redemption documentary were you even close to anything that could be considered uninspiring. Every listener of this podcast will be better for having watched your doc. We award you all of the points, and may God bless your soul & JAKE’s eternally!

Today on Coolest Geek Alive, Jesse Blaze Snider eviscerates the recent Wall Street Journal puff piece defending Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige with a flamethrower of facts. In a shameless display of corporate propaganda, the article heaps all praise for the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s past successes onto Feige while bending over backward to deflect any blame for the franchise’s current failures. Jesse dives in line by line, exposing the spin, deflating the copium, and reminding audiences that the real problem isn’t budgets, actors, or fan fatigue—it’s the consistently poor writing and increasingly lifeless direction under Feige’s watch for the past five years. This is the MCU takedown you didn’t know you needed.
