Geekdown Podcast

Your new BFFs return to the comforts of made-for-TV holiday movies this year with the straight-to-Netflix time travel romance "The Knight Before Christmas." Can it reach the "heights" of 2018's "The Christmas Inheritance"? No, no it can't, but we still had talking about it.

Also! Cait approaches her final form, we celebrate the triumph of Watchmen as it wraps up its season, and check in on all the tidbits swirling around that galaxy far, far away.

We're off next week for Christmas, y'all. Have a safe and happy holiday.

In what is sure to be one for the Geekdownpod HOF, November Crapathon continues with 2019's anime trash "How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?" and David Lynch's 1984 treatment on the scifi classic "Dune."

Also continuing thoughts on The Mandalorian, Cait may have found her next caper, and a take so hot we had to bury it at the end of the episode.

You wait for it all year, we wait for it all year, November Crapathon returns to the Geekdown, as we force each other to watch things we know are bad. First up, the gold standard in botching a sure thing, the feature adaptation of Masters of the Universe, and another face on the Rushmore of 90s action stars, Steven Seagal's Marked for Death.

Spoopy season concludes as your BFFs look at the underrated and twist filled anime School Live and the black comedy Death Becomes Her. Were they suitably creepy? We shall see.

Also: Cait embraces the sickness, stay off the Joker stairs, someone is unmoved by the Janeway memorial, and updates on what we've been checking out. Watchmen. It's mostly Watchmen.

Christmas comes early next week, friends, as November Crapathon comes to bless your timelines with the finest garbage all month long. We hope you'll join us.
