"DIE MONSTER. YOU DON'T BELONG IN THIS WORLD!"

If you recognize the above quote, then you already can guess that on this episode, Geek Tank discusses...

Netflix's, Castlevania Season 2!

And while the above quote doesn't make into this amazing animated adaptation, elements from the game in which it appears do. Joined by guest, Chris Luciano, they talk about their opinions on how the series fares in relation to the videogames that spawned it, their expectations before and after, surprises, and more!

Join in the conversation, too! Let us know in the comments what you thought about season 2, your predictions for season 3, or your opinions on the games. Or if you prefer, contact us directly on Facebook or Instagram. We look forward to hearing from you!

"BUT ENOUGH TALK... HAVE AT YOU!"

Halloween is only days away! To wrap up our countdown, we discuss the BIG topic... Horror movies, of course! What would Halloween be without the thrills and chills, after all?

This episode, we also sat down with another guest—fellow horror fan, Marco Rodriguez—to discuss our mutual love for the genre, our experiences with it growing up, some our favorite horror films, and our excitement about the current renaissance the genre is undergoing.

Let us know your thoughts! What are your experiences with the horror genre, some of your favorite films (or your not-so-favorite ones), or what you're looking forward to in the future!

The countdown to Halloween continues!

Lately, we've had Gotham's Dark Knight on the mind. As far as superheroes go, Batman is, in our humble opinions, about as much of a shoe in for Halloween as you can possibly get among heroes--at least, in regards to those we find in the mainstream. He uses fear to fight crime, after all; but even more than Batman himself, the rogues that plague Gotham tend to come in all flavors of creepy—and that's the main theme of this episode!

Join us as we discuss who we consider to be Batman's creepiest villains, insanity as portrayed by many of these characters, and Gotham city as a character. And as always, let us know your own thoughts in the comments below!

In this episode, Geek Tank opens Pandora's Box and dons their armchair philosopher caps, as they discuss the Big C: Consciousness. They speculate the big questions regarding its origins, the implications, why it exists in the first place, and more. Put on your thinking cap, and prepare to wander down the rabbit hole—unanswerable questions lie in wait!

An added note: this discussion asserts no beliefs as fact. It is merely a discussion of ideas, and should be taken with a grain of salt. These are questions no one can adequately answer, and we are no exception to this rule.

That said, we encourage discussion, and would love to hear your ideas as well!
