  • Geek Hard: Episode 500 – The Best of the Best of 2019!

    Originally Aired: 01/03/20 – We take a look back give our picks for the Best of the Best 2019. We are joined in studio by Petula Neale & Kris Johnson





    2020 is finally here! Geek Hard is celebrating the same way they do every year: by taking one final look back on the previous year and declaring what was the Best of the Best.



    Join us for a special 75 MINUTE episode where we count down the Best of the Best in comics, television and movies from 2019. What was the best ongoing comic series of the year? House of X, Daredevil, Crowded, something else entirely? What was the best T.V. series – Game of Thrones, The Good Place, The Flash are all previous winners? One hint though this was almost unanimous. How ’bout the best film? With Avengers: End Game, Us, Star Wars and so many more to choose from. These questions are answered by Andrew, Mr. Green and our special panel of judges. So who’s on this panel? Why non-other than two of Geek Hard best and brightest, we were joined by our expert panel: Petulla Neale and Kris Johnson.



    Petula Neale is the host of the non-TIFF-affiliated podcast IN A TIFF who helped out back in September with our TIFF coverage. Kris Johnson is a Jack of All Trades and has worn many hats on the show. He’s essentially the third man of Geek Hard. Green hates him……but then again, Green hates a lot of people.



    You’re not going to want to miss this fantastic critique of entertainment from 2019. You might find out about a show or a comic or a film that you missed. You could also get confirmation that you’re not crazy and that thing you loved this year was, in fact, the Best of the Best. Only way to find out is to listen.



    It was a great show!



    Plus for our Patreon supporters, our latest Geek Hard Extra After Credits segment where we discuss the completed first season The Mandalorian.



    If you’re gonna geek out, GEEK HARD!

  • Geek Hard: Episode 499 – Great Guests and Moments of 2019!

    Originally Aired: 12/27/19 – We replay some highlights of the show with guests, stories, arguments and a really odd rant all from 2019.





    It’s been a big year for Geek Hard. There were some really great guests and moments on the show as we look back on the year that was 2019.



    We also share excerpts from the many interviews we did this year with some of the great actors and creators that graced our little program, including Anna Hopkins, Royce Johnson, Christine Lee, Kevin Hanchard, Dani Kind, Todd McFarlane, Emily Piggford, Tamara Almeida, Kristian Bruun and Tim Rozon. We had a lot of fun chatting with these actors/creators and you’ll remember why as we revisit the “Ghosts of Former Guests Past”.



    Throughout the year we had an increase in audience emails during the show which we love getting… keep ’em coming in 2020! We had a great year for geek films to review with Us, Avengers: End Game, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Ready or Not, Knives Out and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker to name a few. On the show, however, we share our love of ’80s Pop sensation Tiffany instead of talking about the film Replicas. Another staple of the decade the voice that won’t quit the ’80s Trailer Voice Guy, plus listener love of guest host Petulla Neale.



    We also remember how Mr. Green ranted about being excited when he was questioned by Andrew during an episode. Then Mr. Green and the Old Man mix it up when they reviewed Toy Story 4 (well Mr. Green did, the Old Man saw Child’s Play instead) sorta. The Old Man also shares his memories of the first Christmas at least according to him.



    It was a great show!

  • Geek Hard: Episode 497 – Squirrel Girl and Daniel Never Died

    Originally Aired: 12/13/19 – We review Daniel Isn’t Real. We play our interview with Olunike Adeliyi & Ryan North from Geek Hard LIVE! We also play Andrew’s interview with Audrey Cummings & Noah Danby of She Never Died.





    Show Notes:



    First up, we transport you back to late October to hear a recording from Geek Hard Live at Comedy Bar! Andrew and Mr. Green are joined by comic writer and author Ryan North (writer of Unbeatable Squirrel Girl and How to Invent Everything: A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveller) and Olunike Adeliyi (star of She Never Died). We talk about time travel, the final issues of Squirrel Girl, cannibals, and multiple film and television projects.  



    Our review of Daniel Isn’t Real starring Miles Robbins, Patrick Schwarzenegger and Sasha Lane. Troubled college freshman Luke (Robbins) suffers a violent family trauma and resurrects his childhood imaginary friend Daniel (Schwarzenegger) to help him cope. Charismatic and full of manic energy, Daniel helps Luke to achieve his dreams, before pushing him to the very edge of sanity and into a desperate struggle for control of his mind — and his soul.



    We also play Andrew’s interview from his time at the Blood In The Snow Film Festival. Andrew got to chat with director Audrey Cummings and actor Noah Danby about their latest film, She Never Died, now playing in theatres across Canada. Hey, wait a second! That’s the same film that Olunike Adeliyi stars in! I’m sensing a pattern here.



    It was a great show!

  • Geek Hard: Episode 496 – The Feast Before Christmas

    Originally Aired: 12/06/19 – Our annual Christmas show featuring Alex James and a look at Christmas movies, comics and TV shows





    Show Notes:



    That’s right friends, the season is upon us! It’s time for the Geek Hard Christmas Special!



    We start off with the return of our favourite holiday punching bag – Alex James, in-studio for the whole show. He will be performing later in the show but first, we have to beat him up a little. Like we said he’s our favourite holiday punching bag!



    Our annual tradition of the Great Christmas Movie Swap! continues. Where we each give the other a Christmas movie the other hasn’t watched for the first time and then we review it. Andrew reviews Feast of the Seven Fishes (chosen by Mr. Green). A slice of life story that follows a large Italian family on Christmas Eve as they prepare for the traditional Feast of the Seven Fishes, reminisce about the past, and seek love in the future. While Mr. Green reviews The Night Before (chosen by Andrew). On Christmas eve, three lifelong friends spend the night in New York City looking for the Holy Grail of Christmas parties. This part of the show has contributed to the most violent reactions from each player in the past. With no Vince Vaughn, things might be different this year.



    We, of course, continue the tradition of forcing Mr. Green to read Christmas themed comics. This year Andrew has chosen Gwenpool Holiday Special: Merry Mix Up! Written by Various Writers with Art by Various Artists Colours by Various Colourists and Letters by Various Letterers Published December 14, 2016, and Superman’s Christmas Adventure Written by Jerry Siegel Art by Jack Burnley Published 1940. While Mr. Green likes comics he is not a fan of Christmas themed comics and Andrew continues’ his campaign to make Green like them.



    Of course, no Christmas show would be complete without our annual checking out of Christmas TV specials and hitting some television specials from the past. This year Mr. Green has chosen the holiday episodes from Doctor Who – “The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe” and Superstore – “Christmas Eve”.



    Lastly, no Geekmas would be complete without Alex James taking part in another of Geek Hard’s time-honoured traditions: Alex James Christmas Trivia. For the past 9 years running, we have subjected Alex to an embarrassing trivia quiz that shows off how much of a humbug this guy really is. If you’ve never heard the quiz before, you’re in for a treat. For those that have, the good times continue.



    The Geek Hard Christmas Stocking winner is announced. Congratulations! Dan Kerr of Oshawa, Ontario.



    Plus, the debut of Geek Hard’s 2019 Christmas song “The Old Man is Back in Town” performed by Andrew Young and musical accompaniment by Alex James.
