Geekdown Podcast

Despite the relentless march to the abyss weighing more heavily than usual on the shoulders of Sunshine Bubbles, it'll take more than that to keep him and Scarlet Ember from bringing you another fantastic episode of Geekdown!

Right smashing episode this week as the duo both check out series from across the pond. Caitlin checks out one of this year's critical darlings, the dark comedy 'Fleabag,' and Jordan tracks a killer with Gillian Anderson on 'The Fall.' Longtime listeners know how contentious British series can be, listen to learn if they broke the slump.

Also this ep! Wonder Woman is queer, the New-Waving of Rogue One, the best Doctor Who of 2016 won't be on your television, Fantastic Beasts expands, Caitlin has a Food Wars problem and soooooo much more.

Thanks for listening, friends!

Keijo!!!!!!!! (exclamtion points part of the title) is a new anime series this season about women competing in a sport that requires them to hit each other with their tits and asses.

Really. That's the show.

Jordan (who knew of the show but hadn't watched it) thought it could be amusing to watch it with Caitlin (who had no idea what she was getting into) and record their live reactions. So they did. And it was. This is that story.

Back to regular format next week!

This week on the show your BFFs take the holiday weekend to get a little caught up on some of the many things they've started watching since the show began. Jordan went back to Avatar The Last Airbender and Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes; Caitlin revisited Food Wars! and Michiko & Hatchin. Did these shows fare any better or worse than they did when we first watched them? Answers await, and will likely surprise you.

Also this episode! NYCC news and notes on Defenders and The Handmaid's Tale; Godzilla the sellout; picks for Toronto After Dark; Power Rangers, sky fireballs, Black Mirror, the race to Mars, a reconsideration of Luke Cage and all the turkey-fueled chitchat you can handle.

Thanks so much for listening, friends, join us later this week for a special bonus episode.

People will let you down, but Sunshine Bubbles and Scarlet Ember never will.

This week on the show we dig back into some classics, as Jordan makes his first foray into Terry Pratchett's Discworld series with "Going Postal" and Caitlin checks out what Jordan considers a 'TV TV Show' with the animated cult classic Clone High. How'd that go? You know how to find out.

Also this ep! Harley Quinn goes solo, Westworld is here, Tim Burton boofs it, a quick survey of Jordan's Pottermore life, so many updates on what we've been watching, what we Geekdowned for before Geekdown and Caitlin endures some anime trash to continue our informal series on tolerable fan service.

Thanks so much for listening every week, friends!

The summer might be over but Sunshine Bubbles and Scarlet Ember are forever. FOREVER.

This week Cait looks at Madoka Magica: Rebellion, the sequel to the popular anime series and Jordan watches Wonderfalls, an early project from Bryan Fuller(Star Trek Discovery, American Gods) that many feel was tragically cancelled too soon. Caitlin hated the ending of Madoka Magica, will the movie fare any better? Will Wonderfalls finally break Jordan's stream of lukewarm responses to Caitlin's recommendations? Answers await.

Also this ep! Daisy Ridley leaves the internet, down with trailers, cosplayers stay paid, your new BFFs display a shocking bit synchronicity and we start a Geekdown challenge.

Thanks for listening every week!

No distance can keep your new BFFs from bringing you the geeky goodness you desire and require!

This week Caitlin calls in from the satellite studio in Port Hope to talk about another British comedy show (this time it's Black Books) and the Korean locomotive zombie suspense thriller Train to Busan. Could Jordan finally open his heart to the unique comedic stylings of the English? Could Caitlin make it to Busan without hyperventilating herself into a stroke? Answers await.

Also this ep! Leslie Jones discovers T'Challa, cats in cosplay, One Piece goes Kabuki, Godzilla destroys Japan's box office and our segue game levels up.

Thanks for listening every week, friends!

After a hectic few weeks, composure and constancy have returned to stately Geekdown Manor, as Sunshine Bubbles and Scarlet Ember get downright swoony this episode, looking at the romantic comedy My Love Story!! and the Jane Austen adaptation Mansfield Park. Did your new BFFs feel the love? Only one way to find out.

Also this ep, the shocking Crunchyroll/Funimation power-pact, IdrisWatch because Caitlin, and dish about Jordan's recent jaunt to NY.

Thanks for listening, friends!

Hang on to your backpacks and briefcases folks, we’re here, we’re not wearing white, and we’re ready to get back to work!

This week on the Geekdown we’ve got a missing host, a very special guest, and more technical issues than you can shake a stick at!

The dynamite Khaiam Dar is standing in for Jordan this week as Jordan makes his pilgrimage to see The Queens in New York City, Cait and Khai chit chat like nobody's business, and we’re back to format taking a look at the animated series and late 90s epitome Daria and alternate magical history WWI graphic novel Arrowsmith.

Also this episode, the usual plethora of geek news, a run-down of Chip Zdarsky’s Zdarscon, updates you couldn’t even see coming, and why the show still sounds janky this week. Spoilers: It's still Caitlin's fault.

As always, thank you all for listening!

After a brief, entirely avoidable hiatus, your new BFFs are back to wrap up the August Watch-O-Rama by shifting it into a Read-O-Rama, checking it out show MVP Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang's Paper Girls. Was the 80's scifi throwback too similar to Stranger Things or did it carve it a path of its own charms? Answers await.

Also this ep, the usual chicanery with updates on Runaways, Canadian media doing the right thing, and of course the returns of Idris Watch and Caitlin's Astronomy Minute, along with the shocking reveals of why we didn't have an ep last week and why the show sounds janky this week. Spoilers: It's Caitlin's fault.

Thanks for listening, everyone!

Jord and Cait's August Watch-O-Rama continues with the supernatural Western Wynonna Earp. After the 1-2 punch of Stranger Things and Cleverman, can this tale of a cursed legacy make a good impression? Answers await.

Also this ep! George R.R. Martin stays stacking paper, Florence and the Machine get fantastical, decide if the guests at this year's FanExpo are over- or undervaluing their photo ops, and there's probably some Star Trek news.

As always, thank you for spending 90 minutes with us every week.
