Geeks Without God

This week we are once again joined by our good friend, the thoughtful and intelligent Tony Miller! Tony joins us to talk about the history of pronouns and their usage in modern language. What’s the big deal about using someone’s chosen pronouns, anyway? Spoiler: There isn’t one.

This week we are joined by Minnesota State Representative Mike Freiberg to discuss the recent legislation to legalize marijuana in the State of Minnesota. It took effect on August 1st, 2023 and we thought it was a good time to talk about what the legislation does and our thoughts about what all of this means moving forward. Mike also provides us with five very thoughtful questions!

This week we are joined by our most frequent guest and DC apologist – Ronn Bauman! He’s with us to talk about the recent Flash movie starting Ezra Miller and Michael Keaton. So what did he think? What other movie that is clearly superior does he like less than this one? And what did Molly, Nick, and Tim think? You might be surprised. But what won’t surprise you is that we spoil the shit out of the movie!

This week we are joined by longtime listener and first time caller Marc Tucker to talk about fighting games! In this case, we are talking about one on one fighting games like Mortal Kombat and Tekken. Marc tells us about a thriving and diverse community that is playing these games and gives listeners all kinds of information on how to get involved. Then he asked us five questions about them!

This week, we are joined once again by our Festival road friend, Byron Miller! He wanted to talk about the recently released Baldur’s Gate, which Nick is also playing. Tim and Molly ask most of the questions since they haven’t started the game yet. There are mild story spoilers but we stay mostly free of them. Bryan also gets a second crack at our five questions!

This week features another edition of This or That! We all prepared a series of (mostly) binary questions and we try to give quick answers to the conundrums posed by each other! Some of them are geeky. Some are culinary. Some are just weird!

This week, we are talking about Good Omens seasons 1 & 2 on Amazon Prime as well as the original book by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. We all agree that the first season is quite good and the second, while entertaining, doesn’t quite live up to the first. We cover the good, the bad, and the frustrating from the whole series!

This week we take a moment to review our experiences at CONvergence 2023. Not gonna lie, we are shamelessly trying to convince you all to come out and join us next year because we had a great time but it would be more fun with YOU! And also YOU! Our podcast started out at CONvergence many years ago and it is still our favorite weekend of the year!

This week, we talk about the “Barbie,” a movie that surprised all of us because it was so damn good. Margot Robbie and Ryan Reynolds star in a film that manages to pack a lot of surprises in a movie about a doll. This episode will spoil the shit out of the film so if you needed the Geeks Without God seal of approval, this film gets it!
