Geekdown Podcast

Bit of a two-for-one episode this week, friends, as Jord and Cait process their thoughts on the whole season of "The Falcon and The Winter Soldier," before moving on to the actual selection of the week, the Netflix nature documentary "Life in Colour" from the famed British natural historian David Attenborough. We also have a Cait's Crime Show Check-in, Jordan's Seiyuu Stream Minute and more.

If you'd like to support the show financially, you can buy us a coffee at ko-fi.com/geekdownpod, but we'd really prefer you instead donate to organizations like the Asian Canadian Benevolent Society for the Elderly (acbaglobal.org/) the Chinatown Foundation (www.chinatownfoundation.org/), or any local org working to end Asian hate in your community.

This week Jordan brings in the somewhat controversial Netflix adaptation of the popular slice of life manga Way of the Househusband. High hopes going into this one, friends, with some surprising results when it was all said and done.

Also this episode: the man behind The Winter Soldier isn't entirely pleased with Marvel, Cait feels the IP grind and updates on a surprisingly large number of things we checked out this week from Spring '21 anime debuts, to This is a Robbery, to Thunder Force and more.

Back from a short break and locked down again, your new BFFs start the wee by airing out our grievances with the provincial government before spending some time with Amazon's Invincible, the animated adaptation of the beloved Image comic book from the writer of The Walking Dead. We also suck our teeth at Star Wars chuds and Joss Whedon, then break down everything we got into over Easter break, which for Caitlin is just Criminal Minds.

This week Caitlin really comes through with a show you've never heard of, but won't be able to stop talking about, Netflix's Danish supernatural mystery Equinox. Lots to say about this one.

We also discuss anti-maskers in the wild, a rare instance of a trailer amping us up, and all the things we've been passing our time with.

We're taking next week off but we'll be back on or around April 13th. Have a great Easter Weekend, friends!

With Godzilla vs Kong set to release this month, we look back on one of the King of the Monsters' earlier battles, a showdown with Japanese office politics in 2016's Shin Godzilla.

This week your new BFFs join the #FreeBritney movement as we check out the recent documentary from the New York Times "Framing Britney Spears" and reckon with how we viewed women and celebrities in our younger years.

Since we were off last week we also forego news and catch up on all we checked out at the end of February including the mandatory WandaVision debrief and the one-two punch of predictable tragedy, the miniseries "It's a Sin" and the Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
