Episodes – GEEK THIS!

Yes, we tend to do this every single year: lay out a game plan for what the show will look like and then fail miserably. That’s what happens when your hosts are employed full-time, have families, and don’t feel like they’re ever breathing at the end of the day.

BUT… we really are trying. Dave is doing some video projects for work, so you, lovely audience, will be benefiting from that as well. Subscribe to the GEEK THIS! YouTube channel for quick reviews and the occasional freeform livestream where you’ll be able to interact in the chat. All in the name of honing a new craft!

Previously, we reviewed the first two episodes of Marvel’s X-Men ’97, the highly anticipated revival of the classic animated series. Now, we’re back to cover the entire season, discussing the new challenges our favorite mutant heroes face. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the series, this episode is packed with insights into what makes X-Men ’97 a standout in the world of animated superhero shows.

Episode Highlights:

We take a nostalgic trip down memory lane to revisit the pop culture that defined our childhoods in the 1990s.

Join us as we reminisce about the iconic TV shows and movies that shaped our tastes, from Nickelodeon classics to Disney favorites. We reflect on what it was like to grow up in the 90s, the influence of these early experiences on our current geekdom, and how some of these shows and movies still hold a special place in our hearts today.

Whether you were a Nickelodeon kid, a Disney fan, or somewhere in between, this episode is a fun and heartfelt celebration of 90s pop culture.

We dive deep into the much-anticipated premiere of Marvel Animation’s X-Men ’97.

We explore the legacy of the original animated series and how this new installment aims to revive the classic with a fresh perspective. We discuss the impact of the original X-Men series on pop culture, its enduring influence, and what fans can expect from this new chapter. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the series or new to the world of X-Men, this episode has something for everyone as we revisit the past and speculate about the future of Marvel’s animated universe.

We watched Dune: Part Two, so we have to talk about it! Also, we’ve decided to take a more unedited approach to the show. If you like it, let us know. If you hate it, let us know!

What we’re geeking this week

• PlayStation Portal
• Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core
• Delicious in Dungeon (Netflix)

We say goodbye to the DCEU with a review of James Wan's Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, but does it go out like a powerful tsunami or end up like a beached whale?

We recorded in a library for this episode, so we do apologize for the difference in sound quality. This may happen every so often, but we’ll keep working to make it less noticeable.

The end of Marvel Studios' Loki has come and we have opinions. We also touch on The Marvels and the What If…? Season 2 trailer. Much like the Loki series finale, we’re jumping all over the place, but we get there in the end!

Rating Marvel Studios' Loki Season 2

• David’s Rating: 4/5
• Dave’s Rating: 3.5/5

This episode contains spoilers for Loki Season One and the first three episodes of Loki Season Two.

When we last left Loki Laufeyson, Thor’s adopted brother and regular villain of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he had caused a bit of a problem in The Sacred Timeline. Especially when one of his variants, named Sylvie, killed a figure only known as He Who Remains.

In Season Two, Loki partners up with Mobius M. Mobius, time-traveling in an attempt to save The Sacred Timeline while Sylvie tries to destroy it and live her own life. In this episode we discuss the first half of Loki and dig into where it may be going.

Marvel’s Loki has returned to the small screen for season two, but we decided to go back in time ourselves to remember what season one had going on. We also touch on Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania (what a title).

After this, we’ll be headed back to the future for season two’s mischief!

What We’re Geeking

• Gen V (Amazon Prime) *This is a mature show
• Taskmaster (YouTube/BBC)
• Pokemon: Scarlet (Nintendo Switch)
• MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios
• The Ringerverse

We’ve been gone for three years. Longer if you think about the time that Dave was solo – we don’t talk about that. But… we’re back and we actually have a plan of attack! But first, we figured it would be best to catch up, let you know what we’ve been up to, and what we’ve been geeking out about.

Dang it’s good to be back! Pardon the rust; it’s been a bit since we’ve recorded together.

Please follow us over on Facebook, Instagram, and (possibly) Threads to let us know you’re happy we’re back, what you thought of this episode, and what you want to hear from us next!
