Defective Geeks

Happy 2017! We kick off the new year with part one of our Rogue One: A Star Wars Story discussion with our special guest, Richard Martinez. Basically, we fan all over the movie.

The Space Pirate Queen wants to treat Newt Scamander as her own personal fantastic beast, wink, wink! This episode is dedicated to the latest and greatest in JK Rowling’s Wizarding World: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Spoilers ahead!

 

 

Fortune Cookie’s Fandom Word of the Day explains our state of being… and we are taking back the Christmas Cake. This episode also has Spider News and two Lady Geeks freaking out over the new Fast and Furious movie trailer. Fanfic Theatre: Star Trek.

Doctor Strange, a movie that has been much debated, because of a franchise that has started out with a racist history. Did Marvel need a little mystic arts magic to get everyone to forgive and forget?

Gather ’round, boys and gals, as Gizzy B shares a world of wonder from her writing journals as an angsty teen. Yes, that’s right—prepare for emo Gizzy B and her imagination.

 

Space Pirate Queen and Gizzy B drool all over Showtime’s Penny Dreadful show and discusses the way the series portrays classic horror “villains and monsters” in a new way. But… Josh Harnett. Amirite?

Here comes our 2016 Halloween episode because October is the best month of the year! Listen in and hear some scary stories,  creepy clowns and strangers sleeping in your bed…

The Lady Geeks discuss the anime series, New Game— a show about women who run their own video game company. We talk about whether the show empowers these characters or if they only serve the male gaze.

We admit it—it’s over 100 degrees Fahrenheit in Southern California so the Lady Geeks wussed out on recording a new episode in the heat. Please enjoy this collection of Fanfic Theatre performances, they are the best of the bests!

James Emmett, from 451 Media, joins us to discuss the minutiae of what happened with the Suicide Squad movie. Hear us both discuss how some of us loved it and some of us did not really love it. Mostly Giselle and Space Pirate Queen were not mad about Jared Leto’s douche Joker.
