  • Episode 200 - Mark and Empire Records vs Jasmin and The Fifth Element

    Five years of podcasting -- can you believe it?! We started this podcast at the height of COVID in 2020, several years after we'd shut down our Geeks Unleashed website. We were nervous, we wondered if people would like us and listen in. And we must be doing something right, because we're still here five years later!

    Thank you for five years of listens, comments, DMs, and a BIG thank you to all the friends we've made along the way! Here's to another 200 episodes!

     

    We thought we'd change it up for this one. Each of the Geeks brought a movie to battle with. We're pitting our 90s faves against each other! WHO WILL WIN??? On one side of the ring, we have Mark making his case for Empire Records. And on the other side, we have Jasmin bringing The Fifth Element into the fight. Which gets your vote?

  • Episode 193 - Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) Review

    Over the MAJOR climax point and into a new phase we go with Thor: Love and Thunder! This movie received a lot of hate when it was first released... But was it warranted?

  • Episode 192 - Avengers: End Game (2019) Review

    10 years and 22 feature films have brought us to this moment. Avengers End Game is the culmination of a collective fandom! Pulling in a worldwide box office of over $2.7 Billion dollars, this film is the second highest grossing film of all time. As fans of the MCU, we truly felt like 10 years of fandom received a massive payoff by way of this movie.
