Geekdown Podcast

It's hard to believe in nearly five years we've never talked about a core Star Trek show on this podcast, so August WacthOrama seemed like an ideal time to look at what some are calling a return to everything that makes the franchise great, Strange New Worlds. We also talk about the seismic shifts happening in wrestling and D&D, fanboys review bombing She-Hulk, as well as everything we've been checking out including Arcane, wrapping Ms Marvel and Sandman, Penance, the Woodstock '99 doc Trainwreck and more.

Back on the scene, crispy and clean, your new BFFs return to the disco to kick off August WatchORama in the only that feels appropriate: with the 2022 adaptation of beloved graphic novel series The Sandman.

We also chat about our summer break, the seismic changes at World Wrestling Entertainment, and some of the things we enjoyed during hiatus including Prey, Immortal Hulk, The Boys, Loot and more.

Opportune June comes to a close with another reco revist, this time of Amazon's space opera The Expanse and the stylish horror adventure-comedy Blood Blockade Battlefront. Spoilers: we loved these the first time, we still love them, but we'll tell you why.

Also this ep: Last week's Miles Morales as Thor debacle from Marvel Comics, Obi-Wan limps to its conclusion, and all the things we've been checking out including some recently wrapped anime, Coffee & Vanilla, Star Trek Brave New Worlds and more.

We'll be off until August, friends! Thanks so much for listening, we say it every episode but it truly means the world to us. As always, get at us between episodes at twitter.com/geekdownpod.

After an unexpected hiatus your new BFFs return to kick off Opportune June the only way they know how: talking about the same thing for the fifth consecutive year. Have Utena and Avatar wiggled their way into their once-resistant hearts? Was fifth time the charm? We shall see.

Caitlin wanted to take the week off and go get Cuban food, leaving Jordan to remind her there are no days off when you're doing it for the disco. Besides that entire month they take off in the summer.

So since we had no time to check out any of the major releases this week, we kept it free form! Topics included but not limited to our upcoming field trip, Cait's twice delayed marital celebration, a survey of the state of Star Trek and more.

Opportune June starts next month, the same way it always does, with the fifth instalment of Utena and Avatar.

A rare return to Korean drama as Jordan and Cait check out the recent hit "Business Proposal." Did it scratch that very specific itch that only Kdramas can?

Also this episode, a lazy concern troll on the current state of the MCU, Jordan's piles of fish and all the things we've been keeping up with including Heroines Run the Show, We Own the City, Kendrick Lamar's latest, Senior Year and more.
