Well after some technical problems with our web host(who we have pretty much disowned) we have found a new home with hostgator.com, and as the song says we're "Feelin' stronger every day!" And just in time, too. Because otherwise you wouldn't be able to hear our latest triumphant discourse! This time around we talk about all(well, a lot, anyway) of the movies that get people out of the hot summer sun, and into an air-conditioned movie theater. That's right, it's time for the Summer Blockbusters!!!!!!!!! Cool off with us here. As the summer continues to keep everybody hot and bothered, our thoughts turn to cooler times ahead, so our topic next time will be our first ever Fall TV preview., where we will be discussing both new and returning shows that we are looking forward to(and maybe a few we're not!) If you have a favorite show you'd like discussed, our new way to reach us is at [email protected] or we will still be monitoring [email protected] til the transition to the new website is complete. Remember, kids till next time, as Ferris Bueller once said, "You can never go too far." You also can't go too near, if you think about it.

Alright everybody, the new ep is here after a long-ish break for the July 4th holiday. This time around we tackle Reality Tv, it's history, and what are some of our favorite shows. This one could have easily ran over, but our professionalism prevented us from doing so. Check it out here, and let us know what you think at [email protected]. Our topic for next time, is a doozy, perfect for beating the heat, we will be discussing our favorite(and some not-so favorite) summer blockbusters! Yes, the movies that get you out of the hot sun and into the cool air conditioning(with popcorn!) SPOILER ALERT: if you want a hint of at least one movie we'll be discussing, you could do FAR worse than to see Pacific Rim. Go ahead, you know you want to.

Find out here. Our topic for next time will be a discussion of our favorites(and least favorites) in the genre of reality TV. As always, we can be contacted at [email protected] Also as always, check out our sister podcast at the Secret Lair Drive-in. Til next time kids, remember, wherever you go, there you TARDIS!

     Greetings, surface dwellers! Do not be alarmed, for I, Aquaman, supreme ruler of the seven seas, have temporarily taken over this thing you non-regal people call a "blog"  to pass on even more of my extraordinary wisdom to you listeners! Let it be known that on this OUTRAGEOUS episode of GEIA The topic of discussion is ME!(and other parts of the DC Animated Universe!) You may listen to this superlative piece of podcasting here.      The geeks topic next time will not, alas, be about my magnificence. Rather, they will be discussing something called "Dr. Who".      If you wish to contact the Geeks to talk about my heroics(or anything else) you can do so at [email protected]      Remember, you may never be as heroic or as outrageous as me, but you should never stop trying!

   Well, we're definitely trying to stretch our limits and knowledge this week! Our subject is what I like to refer to as Narrative Rock, which is a catch-all name for Rock Operas, concept albums, i.e., anything with a storyline. I know it was an educational experience for D-Dub and I learned a few things myself.      Check out this slice of EPIC-ness here.      Our topic we tackle next time around will be a look at some of our favorites from the DC Animated Universe. Comments? Questions? Queries? Posers? Send 'em our way at [email protected] Til next time, kids, remember, it's Memorial Day, not BBQ day. If you can, thank a veteran for his or her service.

    Well, after the the truly demented heights(or lows?) of our Looney Tunes Episode we decided to scale things back a bit for this weeks discussion of The Beatles On Film! Just as the Beatles themselves attempted to get back to their roots with what eventually became Let It Be, We're giving you loyal listeners a sort of retro episode(for us anyway). That means no sound clips, no background music, just D-Dub and I having an old-fashioned discussion on The Beatles film career. Still a pretty spiffy episode, if you ask me(and if you didn't why are you reading this blog?). Any road, you can sample its' Beatle-y goodness here.    Our next two topics we will tackle will be Narrative Rock, which is my weird term for Rock Operas, Concept Albums, anything that tells a story(and rocks, hopefully!), followed by a look at the DC Comics Animated Universe.    Like (or don't like)what you hear and want to let us know? Drop us a line at [email protected]    Check out our sister podcast at the Secret Lair Drive-in where we are doing our review of our first year by awarding the Lair-ies for the films we loved, (as well as those, well, not so much). Be good kids, and til next time, remember, you should never drink and drive(even though to get a drink, you have to show them something that says you can drive).

     Alrighty, Geeks and geekettes I know I've said this in the past, but this is our best episode yet! This time around we tackle the vast catalog of Warner Brothers cartoons and come each come up with our top 5(at least off the top of our head). How we got through this episode without totally losing it laughing is amazing, but that's how professional we are! Besides, you, the fans are worth it!      The laughs and the reviews can be found here.      Our next couple episode include our salute to the Beatles on film for our one year anniversary show and after that a lesson in Narrative Rock(Concept Albums, Rock Operas, anything that tells a story).      Check out our sister podcast at the Secret Lair Drive-In where we review the 1954 classic, Them! Til next time , kids, remember, It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man. Later, kids!

This time around we offer a sequel to one of our more popular episodes, Saturday Morning Fever! What can we possibly do to follow up such entertainment gold? Why, talk about the live-action stuff, of course! That's right, we are accompanied by the patron saints of Saturday morning, Sid and Marty Krofft(although it turns out Filmation had a sizable chunk of the action as well). If you're not smiling as you listen to this one, then you must be too young to remember(if that's the case, you should at least be rolling your eyes at us old farts!). You can turn down memory lane here.      Okay, after such a maximum length(76 minutes, yo) cool episode, we are going to take it down a notch next time and discuss favorite book series, both printed and/or illustrated.
