Brandon leads the geek patrol thru the recent rumors from the Star Wars camp. Then, they all have fond memories of the decades of work left by the passing of Gene Hackman. They wrap up with a salute to the original 1933 release of King Kong and the impact that movie is still having on modern movies.

Max and Alissa get to lead the show on the live theatre experience. With movie theaters struggling, is live the live experience making up lost ground. The geek patrol seems to think so.

The Geek Patrol is unanimous in being lukewarm over the release of Capt. America. Nothing really wrong with it, just not outstanding. They are all excited about the casting idea of John Lithgow bring his amazing talents to the role of Albus Dumbledore. He would make a great anchor for the upcoming series. Joe wraps up the show with his review of "Becoming Led Zeppelin". Great music and business sense are powerful combinations.

Brandon and Alissa start off with glowing review of recent wrestling events and how the entertainment sport is growing with younger audiences. Max has a shoutout to the "Rumours" album by Fleetwood Mac for its staying power over the last 48 years. The Geek Patrol is a bit divided over the trailer for the upcoming Fantastic Four movie. They do agree that it looks interesting and has a different vibe than other recent releases.

Allisa leads the geek patrol in why we love to watch reality tv shows. The more drama and less real the situations, the more audiences tune in week after week. We don't seem to care if the show is about finding treasure, crazy animal owners, or even crazier family members. The world at large want to peek in the window and watch.

The Geek Patrol says farewell to David Lynch after decades of memorable shows and movies. Next, they are all optimistic that the upcoming new release of Daredevil is going to be more season four of the old series than something new. Alissa and Brandon look at the odd new movie "A Better Man" with positive thoughts, then they all agree that "The Monkey" will indeed live (or kill) up to expectations.

The Geek Patrol braved the snow to talk about the practical makeup effects that make shows like "The Penguin" so good. Brandon and Max let Joe know that even a movie like "Barbie" can have a deep philosophical base and a good base can make for a great movie. Allan has a few words about the unintended consequences of weather events and Alissa is looking forward the new "Wallace and Gromit" feature.

Brandon, Joe, and Allan start the year off reminiscing about the Lord of The Rings movies and a few thoughts about Mr. Tolkien himself. Then, the guys get into why a "passion project" may not be the best of ideas and they wrap up with a quick look at the blockbuster budgeted movies that flopped in 2024.

Brandon, Joe, and Allan have been checking out the end of the year movies and the surprise comedy standout turned out to be "Hot Frosty", a spin on all those familiar sappy movies that is actually humorous. Joe is still fascinated by holiday ghost stories and can't wait for Allan or Brandon to go see Nosferatu so he doesn't have to.

Happy Holidays from the Geek Patrol. Brandon has been watching holiday movies and some are better than others and he has a few recommendations. Alyssa likes Christmas trees she just doesn't want one using her Wi-Fi or taking over the house. Joe is coming to grips with that the fact that all Christmas stories a fundamentally the children of Victorian ghost stories and other holiday horrors.
