Geeks with Kids

In 2006, film reviewer Roger Ebert wrote that video games could not be art to the shock of gamers around the world. Looking back at the 2010s, video game companies defied this statement by creating some of the best narrative, visual, and emotional stories in the medium.

Join Erik, Steve, Matt, Schaus, Hawk and guest host Michael as they talk about Erik's favourite video games of the past decade. What game does he have a love-hate relationship with? Which genre reigned supreme? Were there any surprises? And what video game topped his list?

In 2013, filmmaker Stephen Soderbergh was quoted as saying “In terms of cultural real estate, TV has really taken control of the conversation that used to be the reserve of movies. It's sort of a second golden age of television, which is great for the viewers. … If you like your stories to go narrow and deep, TV is exciting."

Join Erik, Steve, Matt, and Hawk as they chat about the best series of the decade. What genre has the most picks? Did HBO shows reign supreme? Were there any surprises? And what TV shows should have been on Hawk's list?

“I fear nothing. For all is as the Force wills it.”

“A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...”

In 1977, a little known writer/director named George Lucas released his cinematic love letter to the space serial of his youth. "Star Wars," later subtitled "A New Hope," launched the epic space-opera franchise that spawned a massive fandom.

Who had the funniest Episode 1 story? What do they think of the prequel films after all of these years? And who mistakenly thought having a first date at a "Star Wars" screening was a good idea?

Join Erik and his lovely wife Megan as they dance their way through 10 years of hits. What's new and improved in the latest entry? Which modes did their kids enjoy?
