For Geek's Sake

This week Al goes hardcore fan boy over Heather Mann, Assistant Director for Dice Tower Con. She’s in the studio to talk about the convention, board game prototypes, and to tell Danielle “No” in a clear, firm voice. Also, we explore suitcases versus droid as robot overlords, Dan rants (again) about Zack Snyder, and we lament the loss of trench warfare. All that, plus a moment of civility as we pay some respects. Thanks for listening, and SUBSCRIBE!!

This week we’re thrilled to welcome the fine folks from the LARPing group AmtGard to the show, as we get prepped for our foray into foam warfare. We also update you on what’s not happening at E3, Al mispronounces Margot, and Danielle loses Mascow. All that, plus sexist canaries! Thanks for listening, and please SUBSCRIBE!

This week!!! We venture into The Void for the latest in VR, wonder why drone races don’t feature more explosions, debate Brie Larson’s star power, and then finally give up and join the forces of evil. All that, plus a review of X-Men Apocalypse. Thanks for listening, and SUBSCRIBE!

This week we welcome Geek Street Station writer Scott Horn, as he gives us the lowdown on this year’s MegaCon. Also, we wax nostalgic as the robot apocalypse looms ever nearer, have a spoiler-free moment for X-Men: Apocalypse, and try to understand why the hell Captain America became a Nazi. All that, plus Al has nothing nice to say about wristbands. Thanks for listening, and SUBSCRIBE!

The FGS crew welcomes Matt Heimrel of the Cast Revive podcast on the show! We give Star Trek and Ghostbusters a fair shake on their new trailers, celebrate the triumph of fan over multi-billion dollar studio, rejoice with Chewbacca mom, and argue over how to spell Speil. Spiel? Anyway… all that, plus another exciting installment of Ha Ha Al’s Dumb! Thanks for listening, and SUBSCRIBE!

DC makes a comeback this week by dominating television! Meanwhile, Nintendo decides Infinity is a very short period of time, a software giant defeats real viruses, and Magic: The Gathering gets all judgey about its judges. All that, plus Al gets lawyered, a new suit, and prepped for our launch party on May 20th (2016). Thanks for listening, and SUBSCRIBE!

This week we’re exploring expanding universes! Whose got it figured out? Marvel? Star Wars? DC? BWAHAHAHA… but seriously, that’s the topic.

Meanwhile, Dan and Danielle take turns trying to give Al an aneurism through Han Solo and Wheel of Time news, the finer points of super hero space suits are considered, and Wolverine gets the R rating we all knew was going to happen. All that, plus Battlefield versus Call of Duty! Thanks for listening, and SUBSCRIBE!!

China built Daleks! Fox pulls out of Comic Con! Zack Snyder is only a little more popular than the new Ghostbusters movie!
