This week’s episode is a celebration of small wins, big concerts, and nostalgic chaos. Let’s dive in! 🎤 📚 🎶 📺

🔥 What’s Hot – David recaps his fourth straight year as a vendor at AkaiCon in Lebanon, TN! He shares behind-the-scenes stories, con highlights, and the excitement of selling seven copies of his short story collection, A Home for Wicked Thoughts.

📖 What Are You Reading? – Both hosts are buzzing with anticipation for Brynne Weaver’s upcoming novel Tourist Season. If it’s anything like her Ruinous Love trilogy, we’re in for something dark, clever, and completely unhinged—in the best way.

🎸 The Mosh Pit – It’s been a wild month of live shows: Dance Gavin Dance, New Found Glory on the horizon, and a breakdown of Ice Nine Kills’ chilling new single The Great Unknown. We talk setlists, crowd energy, and the bands that still bring it live.

📺 Shit That Doesn’t Suck – David is all in on Mike Flanagan’s emotional new adaptation of The Life of Chuck, while Frack rewinds the clock and finds joy in reruns of Nickelodeon’s Guts and Double Dare. Slime and sports, anyone?

A little horror, a lot of heart, and plenty of high-energy nostalgia—classic Geek Garage.

This week, we’re serving up superheroes, spine-tingling horror, and concert surprises you won’t see coming. 🎥📚🤘😂

🔥 What’s Hot – We saw Marvel’s Thunderbolts* and honestly? It’s the jolt of energy the MCU desperately needed. We break down what makes this anti-hero team-up stand out and why it might be one of the studio’s boldest moves yet.

📖 What Are You Reading? – David dives into Where He Can’t Find You by Darcy Coates, a horror novel that blends supernatural dread with real-world terror. Spoiler alert: it’s creepy as hell and totally worth the read.

🎤 The Mosh Pit – Frack finally got to check seeing Metallica live off her bucket list—twice. But here’s the twist: the band wasn’t even the best part of the shows. We talk openers, atmosphere, and why live music still hits different.

🍿 Shit That Doesn’t Suck – David gets hooked on a new Apple TV+ comedy, while Frack takes it back with a classic HBO series that still holds up and still brings the laughs.

Superpowers, scares, shredding, and sitcoms—it’s another classic Geek Garage combo.

🔥 What’s Hot – CinemaCon dropped a ton of new trailers, and we’re breaking down the ones that caught our eye (and the ones that made us cringe). From sequels to surprise hits, we’ve got thoughts.

📖 What Are You Reading? – We dive deep into the blood-soaked, genre-bending brilliance of Brynne Weaver’s Ruinous Love trilogy. Which book did we love most? How does it manage to be equal parts romantic, horrifying, and hot? We get into all of it. (WARNING: Light spoilers ahead)

🎤 The Mosh Pit – The Starting Line are heading out on their first headlining tour in 17 years, and we are STOKED. We talk about what this comeback means, the songs we hope make the setlist, and why this band still hits so hard.

Buckle up, because this episode is WILD. 🎬 📖 🎸

🔥 What’s Hot – Avengers: Doomsday is officially in production! We break down the star-studded cast list, what we know so far about the film (which is basically nothing), and what this could mean for the future of the MCU.

🌶 What Are You Reading? – David takes things to another level with a LIVE READ of his very own Harley Quinn/Poison Ivy fanfiction. Yes, it’s as chaotic (and raunchy) as it sounds. Yes, it’s going on AO3. No, David could not get through it without laughing hysterically.

🎤 The Mosh Pit – Frack is ranking every Fall Out Boy album, and her list is controversial. We’re talking scorching hot takes. Do you agree? Or do we need to throw down in the pit?

🍿 Shit That Doesn’t Suck – David recommends the best AppleTV+ series you should be watching, while Frack throws it back with a classic early '90s film that still holds up today.

This one has superheroes, smut, and scene kid chaos—what more could you ask for? Hit play and join the madness! 🎧 🔥

We’re kicking off our new era with a stacked episode! 🎸📚⚽️

🔥 What’s Hot – Ted Lasso Season 4 is officially teased, and we break down what it could mean for the future of AFC Richmond. Will we get more of our favorite mustachioed coach, or is this something entirely different?

📖 What Are You Reading? – We caved to BookTok and devoured The Ruinous Love Trilogy—and wow, was it worth the hype! We talk about why we loved it, what makes it stand out, and who else should add it to their TBR pile.

🤘 The Mosh Pit – A Day To Remember is BACK with Big Ole Album Vol. 1, and it feels like a nostalgic punch to the face (in the best way possible). We dive into the sound, the standout tracks, and how the band pulled off one of the most genius marketing moves in recent memory by dropping physical copies a month before streaming.

Don’t miss this one—it’s got everything from sports to screaming into the void. 🎤🔥

We’re wrapping up our epic Friday the 13th rewatch series with a bang! First up, Freddy vs. Jason (2003) pits two horror icons against each other in a bloody, dream-fueled showdown, as Freddy Krueger manipulates Jason Voorhees to strike fear back into Elm Street. Next, we dive into the slick and brutal reboot Friday the 13th (2009), where Jason returns to Crystal Lake with a vengeance, blending elements from the original films into a modern slasher masterpiece.

Join us as we share our thoughts on these films and explore how they serve as near-perfect capstones to the franchise. From the chaotic fun of Freddy and Jason’s brawl to the reboot’s fresh yet faithful approach, we’ll unpack what makes these entries stand out. It’s the ultimate celebration of Jason Voorhees and the franchise that redefined horror!

This week on the Geek Garage podcast, we dive into the most outrageous and divisive entries in the Friday the 13th franchise: Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993) and Jason X (2001)! In Jason Goes to Hell, Jason’s body is obliterated, but his evil spirit lives on, jumping between hosts as he hunts for a blood relative to restore his true form. Then, in Jason X, the franchise takes a wild sci-fi turn as Jason is cryogenically frozen and wakes up in space 400 years later, becoming an unstoppable killing machine (literally) as Uber Jason.

We share our thoughts on these campy, over-the-top movies that, while far from perfect, still offer plenty of entertainment through inventive kills and impressive practical effects. From demon-summoning daggers to Jason smashing heads in liquid nitrogen, these films are a testament to the franchise’s ability to embrace the absurd. Join us as we celebrate the chaotic fun of these unconventional slasher gems!

This week on the Geek Garage podcast, we're diving deep into the wild world of Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988) and Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)! In The New Blood, Jason Voorhees faces off against Tina, a troubled teen with telekinetic powers, leading to an epic showdown of supernatural vs. slasher. In Jason Takes Manhattan, Jason leaves Camp Crystal Lake behind and wreaks havoc on a cruise ship before arriving in the Big Apple—though he doesn't get there until the final act.

We hit many highlights and bizarre moments, from Tina's Carrie-like powers to Jason's surprisingly limited time in Manhattan, and sharing our thoughts on why these two entries miss the mark in the franchise. Plus, we dive into other films that deal with telekinesis and the unique way movies have captured Manhattan's essence, often better than Jason did!

Tune in for killer trivia, sharp commentary, and our honest takes on these divisive films!
