Geek Nerdery

We take to the stars this week to talk about 2 sci fi movies from 1984 that have STAR in the title.  First up is The Last Starfighter.  How good at you at video games?  It could land you a wicked job Starfighter.  Then after that we watch Jeff Bridges phone home in the John Carpenter alien film Starman.  All this and we find out some interesting facts about dating Noah.

Thanks to Laurel for sitting down with us in Yorkville Illinois to answer some questions about The Challenge, but more importantly the shows she watches on Netflix. Forensic Files for life. We also touch on her episode of Fear Factor and her one elimination loss against the terrible Camila.

We were lucky enough to sit down and chat with Cohutta at the Challenge Throwdown for the Cause event in Yorkville, Illinois. We talked about many topics, from toilet paper to cell phones to careers and his cousin Jill. He also shares some of that deep southern wisdom and charm with us.

We’ve decided to dig into a more obscure title this week with the late NES release, Arkista’s Ring. Is it worthy of being called a hidden gem, or was this one better left forgotten? Listen to find out.

We missed Mother’s Day by a week and then randomly decided to do two movies about dead mothers.  We’re on the ball.  Anyway we talk about the Peter Jackson classic Dead Alive (aka Braindead) and the Steve Buscemi comedy Ed And His Dead Mother.  There is a small discussion about the state of the Star Wars Universe, Deadpool 2, and a non-recommend from Doug.

Yeah, it’s another sausage fest up in here. We have a special guest, Zach, for this bite-sized podcast without notes that we go over out of order. We almost got Tori to watch us live, but I guess we failed. Wes is struggling to maintain his place in the house, the Stars are learning how to play the game a little faster than we expected, and we spend a lot of time talking about our trip to meet some Challengers next month in Yorkville.

This week we’re teaming up two movies that I have once again forgotten why.  But we mention it in the episode.  First up is the Argento/Luci joint Demons.  After that we talk some Rawhead Rex.  During the show we also find out Noah’s hatred for a 90’s horror franchise, talk the upcoming THE PREDATOR, and read a lot of long ass emails.

No girls allowed! It’s just the men of Challenged tonight, and you know what that means. A short show, no notes, no prep work and lots of distractions. We talk Tori, Ashley, Aneesa and the drama involved with all of them. Wes tries and fails to start an alliance. Tony Time embarasses us all. We end on a bunch of drama that leads nowhere and accomplishes nothing. A typical Challenge episode.

In week two of letting Noah pick movies we have Malibu Express and Hard Ticket To Hawaii.  There lots of talk about boobs, rocket launchers, and snakes.  Listen in as Doug’s soul withers and Noah laughs at his misfortune!  Also a few pieces of feedback but we’re pretty light on other movies this week.  It’s a quick one.

We’re back for more Shoot-em-ups with one of the best that the TurboGrafx 16 has to offer, Soldier Blade.

Also, be sure to check our EXMosquito and his incredible 1-life Hard mode play through.
