Geekdown Podcast

No days off for the Geekdown as we bring you your annual holiday hang, checking out the 2011 animated flick Arthur Christmas and the 1983 role-reversal comedy Trading Places.

We also talk about Netflix puling back the curtain a bit, recommend The Holiday Calendar, recommend stationery and give out a present or two. If you need to get away from your family for 90 minutes, come see us.

Happiest of holidays, friends! Thank you for your continued support (either via patreon.com/geekdownpod, ko-fi.com/geekdownpod, or just by listening) and we'll be back with you in the new year.

Your new BFFs welcome the season by taking a dip into the warm, dank, ankle-deep waters of made-for-Netflix holiday content with The Christmas Inheritance. Did we find any charms in its inoffensive predictability? We shall see.

Also this ep! Caitlin recaps all the holiday fare, Red Dead is broken, Yakuza blows Jordan's mind and so much more.

The Crapathon is over, so we're back in format this week with a pair of animated features from the turn of the century: Metropolis, based on the work of manga god Osamu Tezuka, and Disney's The Emperor's New Groove.

Also this ep, Caitlin ruins Christmas, Netflix's comings and goings, Caitlin's over the take industry and Jordan's heart fully opens to Love Live, surprising no one.

November Crapathon comes to a close with a pair of cinematic clusterfucks from 1997: the identity swap insanity of Face/Off and the movie that killed the Caped Crusader for almost a decade, Batman & Robin.

We also have Cait's board game pick of the year, the risk and rewards of gacha games, check ins on She-Ra and Zombie Land Saga, and so much more.

We're taking next week off,y'all, but we'll be back in two weeks with our annual episodes to close out the year.

November Crapathon continues to ruin your month as we marvel at the movie that would be Star Wars, 1980's Flash Gordon and give some serious thought to just who Skull Face Bookseller Honda-San is supposed to be for? We also remember Stan Lee, endure empty parades, praise Unsolved: True Crime, and share more stories from the lawless West.

November Crapathon rolls on as we revisit more favourites when we were too young and too stupid to know any better, Weird Al's lone foray into motion pictures, 1989's UHF, and the dark comedy that almost tanked Jim Carrey, 1996's The Cable Guy. Yeah, this week didn't go well for anyone.

We also dole out the usual stack of nonsense and some updates on Red Dead Redemption 2 and Hilda. Thanks for listening, friends!

You thought we wouldn't do it, but November Crapathon is here! Celebrating a month of grrrrrbge that we love in spite of itself. We're staring the month with some heavy hitters, the 1975 grindhouse classic Switchblade Sisters and Double Impact, a peak Van Damme vehicle from 1991.

We also talk about some monumental personal fandom news, the continued perils of record collecting, Cait's best Kanye West impression and things we've consumed that are far better than grrrbge like Red Dead Redemption 2, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Daredevil Season 3.

We also tackle an important question for the parents this Halloween season, celebrate the return of Crimetown, and uncover the most important casting news this show will ever learn.

SPOILER WARNING: We nonchalantly tossed off a story detail from the finale of the Spider-Man PS4 game at 1:20:30. Hit your 15-second skip a couple times to dodge it.

Coming off a Canadian holiday and varying degrees of anxiety, your new BFFs welcome the return of the oft-requested Hodgepodge episode. Open format is the mood as we meander through a number of topics including Canadian children's entertainers, the struggles of playing rhythm games in your forties, fallout from the Great 2018 Apple Divide, how rape culture damages us all and more.
