Dinner 4 Geeks

This week we add a FIFTH geek to the mix...to kind of even things out from the first three episodes where we only had three geeks. Ryan's brother Darren, who is definitely an action figure geek gets into the mix. The guys talk the rerelease of Jurassic Park, their first record-buying experiences, and action figure collections!

This week, the Geeks pay tribute to Roger Ebert, except Ron, who hated the man and will probably burn for what he says. Scott believes the end is near for the EU. Ryan has a what's-it-called. Jeff asks everyone to name their guilty pleasures, only so he can make an admission of his own...

Jeff has another installment of Beware Geeks Bearing Gifts. Ryan talks about the etiquette behind cursing in front of your parents. teh guys play an exciting round of I'm Guessing an Ewok. Ron introduces a riveting discussion about the naming conventions of audiobooks on CD and is severely punished for it.

The Geeks sit in a nice quiet room in a barbecue joint and talk about the shows that never made it that they would go back and rescue given the opportunity. On the list: Hooperman, The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr., and The Flash! Plus a debate about what counts and what doesn't!

Another new venue for the Geeks and this one...well, while there's some good stuff here, it may have been better if we'd just published a transcript. Through the course of things we touch on, despite an overwhelming background noise, PS 238, serious Star Wars, Torchwood, the iPhone's resistance to toilet water, Marvel Unlimited app, the end of Argo, geek gaming, our video game wish list, Saturday morning kids shows, and Ryan's Sleestak action figure. I tell you all this because you may not be able to make it out.

Ryan brings in some old comics, which leads to a discussion of the longest runs each of teh geeks has ever put together and whether or not published paper comics are doomed!

Ron announces the creation of The Wookiee Awards. We humor him. Childhood crushes. What we wanted to be when we grew up. Can you teach an old geek new forms of geekiness?

What one thing did everyone want but never get? The Sears Christmas Catalog before we liked the lingerie pages. Ryan's Matchbox helicopter's sad fate. Why isn't Close Encounters relevant anymore?

The show was recorded over a dinner shortlay after the news broke that JJ Abrams was indeed the guy who was going to helm at least Episode VII. The guys respond to it. The guys also get into a knock down dragout fight about the flaws in the prequel trilogy with the unlikeliest of people laying into the prequels. This one is just fun on top of fun!
