Geekdown Podcast

Your new BFFs really try to reach across the aisle this week as Jordan brings in beloved josei anime 'Princess Jellyfish' and Caitlin continues to make Jordan connect with the MCU with Captain America: The Winter Soldier. How'd that work out? Answers await.

Also this ep! Blade Runner gets animated by one of the best in the biz, Netflix regrets nothing, thoughts on The Deuce, Dragon Ball Super, American Gods and all the solid hangs you've come to expect from C+J's Hot Take Emporium.

Scottish small towns, Kanye West and all the feels, this week on the Geekdown.

As mentioned on Twitter, one of your hosts is going through it this week, and we thought maybe getting our Marc Maron/Pete Holmes on would make for interesting radio. If that ain't your jam, feel free to skip 22:00-38:00.

Back in business this week as the Geekdown returns to format in typically conflicting fashion as we look at the Vertigo crime epic 100 Bullets and the joyous whimsy of The Lego Movie.

We also look at Terry Pratchett's estate management, lots of Star Wars stuff Jordan doesn't care about, Ed Skein puts his money where his mouth is, updates and all the chit-chat including out latest installment in Jordan's dental saga.

Jordan had a tooth pulled on Monday morning. Promo will be light, y'all.

August Watch-O-Rama concludes! We watched the Australian comedic drama/dramatic comedy Please Like Me. We had opinions. You'll hear them here. We talked about a lot of other stuff. It's been 82 eps, you know how we do.

August Watch-O-Rama continues as we settle into a show two and a half years in the making, Netflix's The Defenders. We've never been shy about our love for the component parts leading into this show (Iron Fist notwithstanding) so how do we feel about the first act's climax? We will tell you!

Also this ep: the Wachowskis get an offer to continue Sense8 from an unexpected place, chit chat and updates on all the stuff we've been watching, and it's a lot this week.

Thanks for listening friends! Come back next week for the conclusion of August Watch-O-Rama as we look at the Australian dark comedy Please Like Me.

We are deep in the lazy days of August Watch-O-Rama which means there ain't much nerd news to speak of, just a lot of chit chat with your new BFFs and our thoughts on a quiet offering from the Summer '17 anime season, the fantasy epic Made in Abyss. How'd we feel about that? Your answers await you.

Also this ep! Happy birthday hip-hop, the perils of shopping record sales in Toronto, Caitlin's love of compartmentalization and more.

August Watch-O-Rama rolls on with The Defenders next week and Please Like Me on the 31. Both are available on Netflix.

SPOILER WARNING: In a rare moment of cultural relevance, we actually get into last weekend's episode of Game of Thrones (Ep 4, The Spoils of War) so if you haven't seen it, skip from 34:00 to 44:50

August Watch-O-Rama rolls on as we finally get into the cult scifi hit Orphan Black, just in time for the series to finish with its fifth season this summer. We like to stay on the bleeding edge.

Also this ep! Updates on what we watched, fanboy fuckery, man, like everything. We hadn't seen each other in two weeks.

August Watch-O-Rama returns to the Geekdown, as your new BFFs take the summertime to relax a little bit and get caught up on some things they both might have missed. They're starting hot out the gate with the latest from South Korean director Bong Joon-ho, the Netflix-exclusive tale of a girl and her superpig, Okja.

Also this ep! More assorted notes and takes from Comic-con, Ezra Miller lives his best life, and Jordan puts anime fandom on notice (AGAIN).

August Watch-O-Rama continues all through the month of...August? Next week we're watching Orphan Black and on the 22 we'll check out the Defenders, but we still have empty slots! Got a suggestion? Hit us up in the socials.

All audio items this week as Jordan brings in Mogul: The Life & Death of Chris Lighty, the new hip-hop history podcast from the people who brought your Crimetown, and Caitlin brings in that folksy institution of Middle America and subject of Robert Altman's final movie, A Prairie Home Companion. How'd that go? I mean, you can predict, but it's more fun if you just listen.

Also this ep! Tons of news from San Diego Comic-Con as we encounter them, ya boy Thrawn cements his place in current Star Wars, updates to what we're watching, Jordan's skin is on fire and we take a moment to remember Prodigy and Chester Bennington.

Next week marks the return of what is apparently a summer tradition: The Geekdown August Watch-O-Rama! Check our socials for a full schedule, but we'll let you know now that next week we'll be watching the Netflix film Okja.

Back to format this week as your new BFFs return with another classic 'England/Japan' pairing, as Caitlin brings in the 2004 BBC adaptation of the Elizabeth Gaskell novel "North and South" and Jordan brings in the slice of Japanese comf known as "Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories." Typically lukewarm or new things to love? The answers await.

Also this ep! Inhumans looks real bad, tons of news out of Disney's D23 Expo, Jordan's had it with anime fans (again), and the greatest hot-mic moment in Geekdown history.

August Watch-o-Rama starts in two weeks! Anything you can't believe we haven't seen, read or listened to yet? Let us know! And thanks for listening, friends!
