For Geek's Sake

We start a little off the rails this week, but it’s necessary to get all that brain matter prepared to under stand our main topic: BitCoin.

Tim, and his honest hips, are here to walk us through how a crypto currency (that’s not really crypto) is mined (but not really) and how it became so incredibly expensive (spoiler: it’s complicated). Then, just to keep it Iight and happy, we wander back into the world of YouTube and the catastrophes permeating that creative space. Happy New Year!

Also, the Elon Drive In, Google and the Mystery of the 250 Stolen Bikes, and The Little Switch That Could… thanks for listening, and SUBSCRIBE!

We’re ringing in the new year with a recap of the best and brightest of 2017, and a look forward to our most anticipated offerings for the new year. But it’s not all Auld Lang Syne, of course. We’re investigating Apple’s battery woes, listening closely to Google’s dulcet tones, and lamenting evil stupid people. In case all that isn’t enough, Al uses the B Roll to give some solid investing advice. So… that happened.

Holy crap! We got an actual NASA (contractor) person to come on the show! Did we become legitimate? Quick, someone figure out if we’re legitimate now!

…no? No? Are we… okay. Well, maybe next time.

Regardless, Dustin Lore is on the show to tell us all about how he’s helping build a probe that will hurtle itself into sun at an alarming rate. No word on why, given the infinite expanse of outer space, this poor thing has to go headlong into the first star it can find, but there we are.

When we’re not wasting NASA’s time, we idle away the hours talking turkey about Peter Jackson’s latest Hobbit-free adventure, and then stare confusedly at what the hell they’re doing to Stargate. And if you think that makes no sense, just wait until you hear the next chapter in the Potterverse…

LAST JEDI SPOILERS… though, surprisingly, only in the main topic. We did a good job keeping ourselves in check this week.

Liz is out sick, but Elijah steps in to help us hash out the good, bad, and slightly odd with the latest installment in Star Wars cannon. How will it score? You’ll have to listen to find out…

Of course, we’re not done there. We also break down fun, lighthearted topics as the Disney acquisition of Fox and the fallout from net neutrality… sorry, I meant She-Ra coming to Netflix and nanospiked steel being used to fight bacteria. There we go. That makes more sense.

Enjoy the holidays, and SUBSCRIBE!

Look… this episode went off the rails quickly. In our defense there was a free bottle of booze and Game of Thrones themed shot glasses. We’re not made of stone.

We’re focusing on the future this week as we take a look at some interesting trailers dropping this week… from an animated Spider-verse to Jessica Jones, there’s something for everyone.

But that’s not all! We’re also giving our predictions on Star Wars, getting hyped about Street Fighter’s 30th anniversary, and laughing at people resisting the robot apocalypse. All that, plus Boeing takes aim at Elon…

This week we’re helping you decide on gifts for all the geeks in your life. Maybe that includes the team that brings you an amazing geek podcast every week. I mean… it doesn’t. But it could. (It doesn’t)

We’re also breaking down the insane Infinity War trailer, checking in on the Voyager satellite, and for some reason discussing Tarantino directing a Star Trek movie… all that, plus a breakdown on the deal that put Wolverine on the Avengers! Thanks for listening, and SUBSCRIBE!

SPOILERS. ALSO...NOT PG13. FGS One Offs are just what they sound like- off the cuff conversations on whatever topic happens to interest us. Today we're discussing a few inconsistencies in the Justice League, and debating whether The Punisher is great or greatest. It's a hard call. Enjoy!

We’re drafting tonight, and Al finally gets to participate! We’re assembling the team to replace Santa after… well, after any of the obvious problems built around the Santa Claus mythos finally reach their logical conclusion.

But don’t worry! It’s not all dark and weird! We also get to talk about Elon going for the Big Battery 100 Day Challenge, and explore our favorite MCU theories on the heels of Vanity Fair’s awesome expose! See? That sounds fun, right? Good! Because the B Roll is literally the darkest shit we’ve ever covered, and none of us leave feeling good about it!

Know what all this depression needs? A delicious Bowigens beer! Yay unhealthy coping mechanisms! 

It’s Justice League Review time, and the throw down on screen has nothing on the throw down on our episode…. There’s a lot of jokes here, I’ll let you make up your own.

That’s full of spoilery goodness, of course, but our Punisher discussion is zero spoiler, with a hint of lemon and lime. Mmmmm… also, Elon threatens humanity with flying cars, SNES punches above it’s weight class, Mars has beaches, and Star Wars wants to feed your crippling gambling addiction.

...didn’t mean to end dark there. Oh well. Happy Thanksgiving, and SUBSCRIBE!!

When the cat’s away the mice will TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!! This week on FGS it’s ‘no boys allowed’, Liz is joined by an all girls guest panel to discuss some notable women in geek culture and the awesome stuff women in geek have done in 2017.  Oh, and Bowigens!
