Geekdown Podcast

A single topic show this week, as Jordan and Caitlin spend some time with S*Town, the recent Southern Gothic podcast smash from the folks at Serial and This American Life. Were your hosts able to hang with the 'virtuousic negativity' of John B. McLlemore? Answers await. (The spoilerest parts of the discussion are from 46:00 - 1:07:00)

Also this ep: The Yuris come back to us, the hype is strong with American Gods, penguins understand us, Caitlin is very excited to have a new show, Jordan is losing his patience and the Geekdown Gift (Not Really) Giveaway is here.

This week on the Geekdown Podcast, Jord and Cait go funny and bring each other comedies, well sort of. Join them as they explore the 2007 British comedy (you know who brought that) Death at a Funeral, and the recently concluded dark comedy series Review.

Also this episode, an important development in the state of snacks, more details about the forthcoming contest, lots of chichat, minute news and an acute lack of an Idris Elba Update. And, as always, more!

Thank you so much for coming to hang out with us each week, it means so much! If you would like to continue to hang out and want to support what we do please consider visiting our Patreon page at patreon.com/geekdownpod and contributing financially (apparently I need to stop saying give us money). Until next week!

Continuing our ongoing series of very uncomplimentary things, this week we look at the Eisner Award-winning graphic history of hip-hop, Ed Piskor's Hip-Hop Family Tree, and get into some postwar Vienna with 1949's film noir classic The Third Man. How could that have possibly gone?

Also this ep! We remember Charlie Murphy, talk some outside-the-ring nonsense from the world of pro wrestling and get back into Cait's Astronomy Update. Also gobs of chit chat and an important addition to Jordan's social calendar.

Thanks for listening, friends!

The thaw seems to have finally arrived in Toronto, and the change in weather has your new BFFs eager to lounge out by a breezy window with a fancy caffeinated beverage and a good book, so it's Comic Book Club on the show this week! We're looking at the art-deco high fantasy of Monstress from Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda, as well as Mark Russell and Steve Pugh's eccentric take on the modern stone age family, 2016's reimagining of The Flintstones. Surprises surely await.

Also this ep! Chit chat, bad times for Ghost in the Shell, people at Marvel continue to say silly things and some bold snacking declarations that are sure to lose us listeners.

It's the Asian Cinema Hour on the Geekdown this week as your new BFFs check out the slapstick sports stupidity of 2001's Shaolin Soccer and Ran, the final epic by legendary Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa. How'd that work out? You know where answers are.

Also this ep! Ghost in the Shell blows it; Marvel blows it, too; intriguing director announcements and rumours, snack talk and we cross our first goal off the Patreon list.

It's our 60th episode. We felt we needed a subject worthy of that milestone. The highest-grossing anime movie in history oughta do it.

Also this ep! We sip some weeb tears, are taken aback by Power Rangers and underwhelmed by the Justice League, mourn Especia and look at Dave Chappelle's complicated return to televised standup. Plus chit chat!

March might be over, but you can still share the show with friends using the hashtag #trypod, or rate and review us on iTunes, it really does help people discover the show.

A bizarre set of items this week (but what else is new) as Jord and Cait each bring in something that might not be considered their favourite, but they're curious enough to wonder what the other thought, specifically about 2006's postwar suburban zombie satire Fido and one of the stranger offerings from Marvel's X-Men office, 2011's Wolverine & The X-Men. How was that? Answers where they've always been.

Also this week! Touching base on Jordan's constitution, Mulan is not musical, Iron Fist is meh, the 6ix God returns to save us again and updates to what we've been checking out. Mostly 1990's anime.

Thanks for listening, friends!

After last week's....tense discussion of Giant Robo, your new BFF's try and find their way back to love with the 2014 take on the lawyering cousin of Bruce Banner and the 2011 period piece of investigative journalism, espionage and murder, The Hour. Did it go any better? Answers within.

Also this ep! Buffy is 20, Iron Fist is nah, everything is coming back, Logan might be better than The Dark Knight, chit chat, updates and Cait's definitive Star Trek rankings. For this week. Until further notice.

Your new BFFs are reunited again and are swinging heavy as Cait brings in the Guardians of the Galaxy, continuing her mission to make Jordan watch every MCU offering whether he wants to or not, and Jordan replies in kind with the 90s retro-throwback classic of mecha and sci-fi heroics Giant Robo. Are Sunshine Bubbles and Scarlet Ember? Probably. We think.

Also this ep! Shelly Bond bringing blessings, the Power of Attraction works for Caitlin, Jordan's complicated relationship with Jeff Lemire's early work, Zelda Williams is one of us and all the chit chat you can possibly stand.
