Geekdown Podcast

Continuing their catch-up on things everyone else has already seen, this week your new BFFs strike first, strike hard and show no mercy as they step back into the Miyagi-Verse with the Karate Kid reimagining Cobra Kai. We also marvel at the GameStonk debacle, commemorate one of the worst epsiodes in the history of the Star Trek franchise and break down the recent casting announcements for Netflix's adaptation of beloved comic series The Sandman. We also catch up on what we've been watching including Vera, Demon Slayer, WandaVision and more.

This week on the show your new BFFs dig into the much anticipated launch of the MCU on Disney+, the sitcom-flipping WandaVision. Does it scratch the itch that so many (but not Jordan) have been feeling the last two years? We shall see.

Also! Lara Croft goes to Lovecraft Country, Godzilla gets punched in the face and some potentially troubling news from the world of cosplay. All that and more!

Continuing to catch up on things the everyone has watched but us, we finally check out the biggest anime in the world right now, the paranormal shounen Demon Slayer. We also catch up on everything we've been checking out including The Body Farm, Princess Connect and more. Also, pretty sure Caitlin called Bakugo a Proud Boy. She was on a lot of drugs this week, it was wild.

Your new BFFs are taking the start of the new year to catch up on some things everyone's been watching but them, starting with one of the most popular shows in America, the Kevin Costner-lead rancher drama Yellowstone. We had...opinions.

We also talk about what we've been checking out, run down some lifestyle improvements we've incorporated, and process that whole "attempt to overthrow an American election" thing.

Back to business (and legacy numbering for your new BFFs) as we start the new year by checking out Pixar's existential meditation "Soul."

The Sickness is oft-talked about on the Geekdown, but what does it really mean? How does it manifest? Can it be cured? Should it?

To delve into these questions, Jordan sits down with fellow Sickness sufferer and longtime best friend Mr. Meloche to talk about the whys and hows of their love for vinyl records. Basically it's just taking the conversation they would have had if Jordan went home for the holidays this year, moved to the phone and recorded it. Possibly the hardest this show has ever geeked down. Sorry for that.

Back in format next week, friends, to try and put this godawful year behind us. Catch us on twitter (twitter.com/geekdownpod) with the ways in which your sickness manifests.

The Paramount Network thwarted our dreams of festive cowboy romance, so your new BFFs played 'In or Out?' on everything announced at last week's Disney investor call.

As it's also our last episode of the year, we took the back half of the show to run down some of the best things we checked out during this terrible, terrible year.

Next week a very special episode of the show, and Jord and Cait will be back in format in the new year. Stay safe, friends, and keep up with us at twitter.com/geekdownpod until then.

A dissonant blend typical of the Geekdown as we celebrate the season with the crew at Dunder-Mifflin then check out the show Cait's been praising for weeks, Infinity Train.

We also touch on Warner Bros' decision to push their 2021 movie slate to HBO; a bold move from wrestling upstarts AEW; give a check on The Sickness and catch up on all we've been consuming this week.

We step out of November Crapathon and into December festivities this week with the annual Vanessa Hudgens Netflix project. This year it's the sequel to 2018's "The Princess Switch." How much more switching can they possibly do? Just you wait, friends.

We also check in on lockdown life volume two, the resurrected G4TV and everything we've been watching including classic rewatches, new favourites, a book or two and your boy Mando.
