Geeks Unleashed

We've made it to 25 episodes! Huzzah!!! This week's news includes all of our questions about the simultaneous release of WW84 into theaters and onto HBOMAX; we are excited about a new CW Wonder Girl series staring newcomer Yara Flor; but we are sad to see that Black Lightning will be ending with upcoming season 4. Our first review this week takes on Sea of Sorrows issue #1 from IDW publishing and we try to sum up 15 years of fandom as we say goodbye to Supernatural.

We lost another household name this week with the passing of legendary television personality, Alex Trebek, after the long-time Jeopardy host lost his battle against prostate cancer. There were a few bright spots of news, however! WandaVision finally gets a release date on Disney+, Painkiller is getting his own spin off from Black Lightning, and Grey's Anatomy brings a fan favorite back to the series (sort of)! Then we dive into our reviews of DC's Punchline One Shot and Netflix's Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey -- both of which we thoroughly enjoyed. Join us!

The US Presidential election dominated global news this past week, but we did manage to squeeze in a Sean Connery tribute since he passed away on October 31, 2020, and we talk about Johnny Depp's exit from Fantastic Beasts amid a franchise mired in controversy. Then we tackle our reviews for the week in the first issue of Image Comics' Crossover, which we both enjoyed, and The Queen's Gambit, which caused the most divisive review we've ever done!You can follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

"Remember, remember the 5th of November..." We take another stab at one of the best graphic novels of all time as we tackle Alan Moore's V For Vendetta. We could not have picked a more timely book given the current global political climate; and trust us, this book has not aged a day since it was published in the late 1980s. There is so much more to this book than anarchy. Joined by author and musician Derek Flynn, we discuss the prescient topic the story tells and how all of us were shocked at universal and timely the theme is. This is our first podcast where three different countries and nationalities are represented!

Finally we dive into this week's reviews as we both surprisingly loved Love and Monsters and were a bit disappointed with the return of The Mandalorian.

We had some differences of opinion this week, but were finally able to setting on ratings we could both live with. Give us a listen and let us know your thoughts on The Resistance and Helstrom!

we dive into what we loved with this week's reviews of Adventureman issues 1-4 from Image Comics and the season 3 premiere of Star Trek Discovery from CBS All Access.

We dive into the zombie apocalypse once more with our mixed review of The Walking Dead: World Beyond; and we wrap up an overstuffed second season of The Boys.

Late to the Party is our BRAND NEW book club podcast where we read what are classified as some of the greatest graphic novels of all time. Our inaugural episode features the only comic to have ever received a Pulitzer Prize, Maus by Art Spiegelman. We are also joined by Randy Dankievitch of Goomba Stomp and the Mid-Season Replacement Podcast. Join us as we discuss this narrative of Holocaust survival and how generational trauma informs the lives of those it touches. We also ask ourselves, would this story have worked -- especially as a comic -- if it hadn't been drawn allegorically as animals.

Geeks Unleashed are a house divided when it comes to the Utopia remake on Amazon Prime, while we can't sing enough praises for Gangs of London!
