Geekdown Podcast

November Crapathon rolls on with a the skateboarding movie (or movie with skateboarding) Gleaming the Cube, before heading to Dante's Peak, where the floor (and everything else) is lava. We also spend a little time talking about that thing that happened down south this week and catch up on what we've been checking out.

Can you believe it's that time again, friends? November Crapathon returns, when Caitlin and Jordan force each other to watch things they know are bad, but also maybe good? Fresh out the gate, 1999's alleged horror movie "Bats" and 1991's "Point Break," easily one of the most absurd movies ever made. We also welcome back the Mandalorian, talk Sony possibly buying Crunchyroll and continue gushing about Gravity Falls.

Cinematic September lives! Apparently? In an effort to appeal Cait's zeal for themed months, we offer a series of movie-centric episodes, starting with Terry Gilliam's adaptation of gonzo godfather Hunter S. Thompson, and a quiet b-side from the Ghibli canon. We also talk Marvel casting, JK Rowling's continued insistence on being hurtful, and all the things we've been checking out this week.

Cinematic September lives! This week we look at a pair of forgotten gems, 1990's pirate radio teen drama Pump Up the Volume and the indie samurai film Ghost Dog. We also break down the first look at the upcoming Dune movie, the uproar surrounding the live-action Mulan movie, and try to thread the needle of what the Netflix's controversial film Cuties actually is, versus what people who haven't watched it are saying it is. Also the usual updates on what we've been into including the usuals like Lower Decks and The Boys, plus financial planning books and a welcome return to Kamurocho. It's a beefer this week, y'all.

This week on the show: PUPPETS, Y'ALL. First we revisit the galaxy far, far away with the eight-part docuseries on the making of Disney+'s "The Mandalorian," then Jordan officially gives Cait the show that helped him get through the early days of lockdown, the martial arts marionettes of "Thunderbolt Fantasy."

Plus we also talk wrasslin news and notes, and update all we've been checking out including Mindhunter, Lovecraft Country, Idol × Warrior Miracle Tunes, the return of The Boys and more.

Lots to talk about in a monster of an ep this week, friends, as your new BFFs look at a pair of shows about con men and capers, Great Pretender and Leverage. We also spend some time in the front half breaking down the first two eps of HBO's Lovecraft Country, Star Trek: Lower Decks, and we try to process the sudden and shattering loss of actor Chadwick Boseman.
