Geekdown Podcast

Geekdown Year 2 carries on, filled with aural delights as Cait and Jord check out Crimetown, the investigative podcast from Gimlet media, and the radio adaptation of the medieval murder solver Brother Cadfael, from the novels by Ellis Peters. How'd that go? Weird. It went weird.

Also this ep! Affleck might want out, Berger wants back in, Gibson leaves us confused and the return of Cait's Astronomy Update.

Jordan's near death! Caitlin's on drugs! But we still bring you an hour and change of solid hangs with your new BFFs because we know it's what you need.

It's lovable rogue week on the Geekdown as Jord and Cait swap eerily synchronous landmarks of their individual geekeries, starting with the young Hayao Miyazaki's take on master thief Lupin III in "The Castle of Cagliostro," then getting swept away on the handlebars of the charm bicycle that is the classic Newman/Redford Western "Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid." How'd that go? Answers, yo. They're inside.

Also this ep! Blessings from The Queens, Magic Schoolbus back, Caitlin has ties to Star Trek leaks, and updates on all the things including Legion, Riverdale, Scum's Wish, Batman vs. Robin, the Michael Bolton Valentine's Special and soooo much more.

The Geekdown level up is coming....

In January 2016, Jordan asked his good friend Caitlin to start a nerdy podcast with him. Over the next 52 weeks the duo were run out of a library, grew closer as friends, sweated their literal and metaphorical balls off and watched more anime and UKTV than either of them probably wanted to. And there's no way they'd rather spend their first anniversary than by answering your questions. Their shotgun lack of planning had nothing to do with it, they assure you.

Also this ep: Cait wants more Austen, Jordan thinks anime fans are babies, we pray for Gohan and all the updates you need.

Thank you to everyone who wrote in, and continues to listen to us natter on. We hope you stay with us for Year Two.

Shorter episode this week as Cait and Jord settle in for a watch party of "The Good Place," the sitcom about ethics and morality that recently wrapped its first season from the folks that brought you "Parks and Rec" and "Brooklyn 99." Did it reach the standard set by those previous projects? Only one way to know.

Also this week! Nothing, really. Kind of light on the news front, but you still get some good hangs from your new BFFs as we throw our hands in the air at the state of the world and check in on some of our regular viewings like DS9 and Terrace House.

Next week is the 1 Year Anniversary Show! You'll know how spectacular it's going to be as soon as we do! Thanks for listening, friends!

Nobody manages to make dissimilar selections quite like Scarlet Ember and Sunshine Bubbles. This week Jordan checks out the 1980s adaptation of the world's greatest detecting mind, "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" and Caitlin watches comedian Neal Brennan's standup/storytelling hybrid "3 Mics." How'd that work out? Answers, they await.

Also this week! The Crew returns, Your Name is unstoppable, Star Trek is delayed, Miles Morales takes the spotlight, Cait's Astronomy Update and so many updates to things we've been watching including Season Two of Voltron and all the Terrace House.

Thanks for listening, fam!

The holidays are long gone, the dark days are here and your new BFFs need to keep it comfy as they wait for Spring, and there is nothing comfier than watching the Netflix/Fuji TV reality show Terrace House or Paul Rudd as Ant-Man. We do it for you, friends.

Also this ep! Jordan can't wait for Young Pope, a trickle of Defenders news, Weird Al gets the respect he deserves and updates on what we've been checking out including Rat Queens and early offerings from the Winter 2017 anime season.

As always, thanks for listening, friends!

Back like they left something, your new BFFs start 2017 attempting to better themselves by holding another irregular meeting of the Geekdown Book Club, giving a perusal to a pair of short story collections from 2005, Kelly Link's "Magic for Beginners" and Joe Hill's "20th Century Ghosts." How'd that play out? Answers within.

Also this ep! Star Trek Discovery gets its Number One, the third season of Young Justice might get a little freer, Sanrio delivers 2017's spirit animal, updates on all the things we checked out over the break and so much more. Kind of supersized this week, friends. We hadn't seen each other in a month, sue us.

Thanks for listening, please remember to rate and subscribe if you've yet to do so!

We're still on vacation! Because we felt like it!

We thought we'd take the holiday to spend some time with another show everyone else has already exhausted, HBO's scifi puzzle box Westworld. We also talk about the additional philosophical differences between us we've noticed since starting the show, the perils and benefits of deep diving, and why nothing good ever comes of seeing Ed Harris.

Back to format next week as we get extra nerdy with the first edition of the Geekdown Book Club! Thanks for listening, friends!
