Generic Geek Podcast

We're back with episode 21 of The Generic Geek Podcast, and we're joined by a special guest. Well, one host is anyways. The other one met another unfortunate death. Don't worry though because, like Kenny from South Park, he'll be back.

This time we share our thoughts on Wonder Woman. At this point, it's made more than $300 million globally, and so the odds are that you've probably seen it. Be warned though that spoilers abound for those who haven't.

Finally, special thanks to our Patreon supporters, Bruce and Zane. Not only do they get their name in the show notes, they also got to hear this episode three days early. You know you're jealous...

We're finally back with episode 20 of The Generic Geek Podcast! Zohner is flying solo this time thanks to Collin going and getting himself married off, but is he really solo if he's interviewing guests from Salt Lake Comic Con FanX 2017? Well, yes; but only for a few minutes.

Anyhoo, while we were at FanX 2017, Zohner had the chance to chat with Arrow and Supernatural actress Amy Gumenick, comic book legend Marv Wolfman, Khary Payton from The Walking Dead and numerous cartoons including Young Justice and Teen Titans Go!, the voice of Johnny Bravo, and about a million other characters, Jeff Bennett, best-selling authors Larry Correia and D.J. Butler, and writer of DC Super Hero Girls, Shea Fontana. We wish to extend a special thanks to these very talented individuals for taking a few moments to chat with us. Please take a few minutes to support their work, if you aren't already doing so.

And speaking of supporting talented individuals, this weeks episode is brought to you by Melissa Mae. Melissa is an amazing artist who frequents Salt Lake Comic Con, so you may be familiar with her stuff already, but if you're not, you don't need to wait until September to check out her work, you can visit her site now. And while you're there, be sure to let her know that the guys from Stolendroids sent you.

The Generic Geek Podcast may be elusive, but we're back and we're talking Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and the new Ducktales! Spoilers ahead. You have been warned... And to make this episode even more special, we have a pair of special guest hosts who joined Zohner as a replacement for the newly engaged Collin! (Sorry ladies; he's off the market.)

And apologies for not posting this sooner. With Christmas and all of its associated festivities, things got a bit hectic and the episode took some time to get in the can.

We may be a few weeks late, but we have finally took the time to share our thoughts on Suicide Squad. I won't spoil it, but if you've listened to any of the recent Stolendroids Podcasts, then you already know my feelings. But what does Collin think? I guess that you'll have to listen to find out!

But before we get to that, since Salt Lake Comic Con is only mere hours away, we wanted to take a few minutes to discuss some of the EPIC guests that will be in attendance. And if you will be in attendance, be sure to look for us and say "hi." We promise that we won't bite. Or maybe we will. I guess that you're just going to have to track us down to know for sure.

And did you know that Time Magazine recently came out with their list of the top 50 video games of all time? Well we did so we run down the hits and the misses. Were there any games on the list that shouldn't have been? What about glaring omissions? Let us know if you agree with the list.

Salt Lake Comic Con 2016 is only a few weeks away, and even though he's extremely busy finalizing new guests, making epic announcements, and doing what it takes to run one of the most successful conventions out there, Dan Farr took a few minutes to chat with us about what's been taking place behind the scenes. If you've ever wondered what goes into booking some amazing guests, such as Jon Cena, Mark Hamill or Stan Lee, or even if you are just a fan of attending conventions, then this is a show that you definitely don't want to miss.

We didn't just talk about the upcoming Salt Lake Comic Con though. We also discussed the status of FanX and the decision to not have two conventions in Salt Lake City next year. However, there may be a glimmer of hope for those of you whose fingers are crossed that it will eventually make a triumphant return to the Salt Palace. (Hint, it may not be dead).

Tickets for Salt Lake Comic Con are still available. Go here to get yours today!

San Diego Comic Con has come and gone, but in its wake we have lots and lots of trailers! GGP is back to recap some of these trailer highlights so sit back, relax, and listen to geeks talk about stuff.

And of course, we had to discuss the recently announced changes in leadership at DC Entertainment.

Andrea Peterson and Zacahri Reynolds from the You Again web series join Zohner and Collin on location at Gweedo's Comics in Layton, Utah to bring you a very special episode of The Generic Geek Podcast. And when we say "very special," we aren't kidding - we're talking ABC Afterschool Special special. (Fun fact: Did you know that ABC Afterschool Special ran for 25 seasons?)

If you want to hear about everything from creating a web series to old-school gaming, with and without a Game Genie, to comic books to why geeks get upset over what superheros wear, then this is the episode that you really don't want to miss. But wait! There's more!

We also talk about Brewvies, a local theater in Salt Lake, getting in trouble for serving alcohol to people watching Deadpool, Batman v. Superman, the upcoming Spider-Man and Batman movies, dating geeks, and sportsball! (GO SPORTS!)

Also, if you like supporting new and original content, please be sure to visit the You Again Web Series Indiegogo page and help back these talented individuals. Making a web series is expensive, and these guys definitely could use and deserve your support. Be sure to also check them out on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Special thanks to Gweedo's Comics for letting us hang out in their room full of thousands and thousands of back issues. If you're looking for something, they probably have it, but if they don't, I'm sure they can get it for you.



Finally, a few programming notes... There was a technical glitch that caused about a minute of audio to disappear in the middle of the show. (You'll know it when you hear it.) The comic series that Zohner is talking about when things return to normal is The Punisher (1986 series). Also, the last few minutes of the show start to become a bit PG-13 because inside, we're all a bunch of 12-year-olds.

Like the show? Be sure to tell your friends. And if you have any feedback, send it to [email protected].

We're back, and since convention season is upon us, we've got some awesome tips to help you get through the ocean of people dressed as Deadpool and Harley Quinn that you are sure to encounter at your local convention center. For us, that would be Salt Lake Comic Con FanX which takes place at the Salt Palace Convention Center in downtown Salt Lake City this week. (By the way, if you haven't picked up your tickets yet, you should hurry because they are going fast!)

In addition to our convention tips, we also discuss the fact that Indiana Jones 5 is a thing and how Zohner is jealous over Daisy Ridley being considered to play Lara Croft. But wait! There's more!



The early reviews for Batman v Superman are out. Are we going to be Green Lanterned? And what about X-Men: Apocalypse? The new trailer looks good, but will it be as good as First Class, or will it be a steaming turd like The Last Stand?

In addition to our wonderful regular sponsors, 48-14.com and Eagle Moss Limited, this episode is also brought to you by Salt Lake Comic Con FanX who feeds our dreams of meeting Kate Beckinsale. And even though they don't know it, Cupbop Korean BBQ in a Cup, without whose glorious food truck we would probably starve and die while walking the convention floor at FanX.

People seem to like Batman v. Superman
X-Men: Apocalypse has a new trailer
Indiana Jones 5 is happening
Rey might be Lara Croft

Star Wars and DC Comics... Well, this is The Generic Geek Podcast so what did you really expect? Anyways, this week we talk about a flurry of DC news including the New New 52(?) and some great looks at their upcoming cinematic universe offerings.

And of course there's Star Wars, but the question everyone really wants to know is #wheresrey? Seriously, where is merchandise with her image? How can Hasbro/Disney/any toy manufacturer not anticipate that a main character will be at least somewhat popular? It happens over and over yet nobody seems to learn. Don't people go to school for this stuff?

And for those who are confused by the numbering, so were we. Obviously.

* DC changing things up... again
* Wonder Woman first look
* Suicide Squad
* Star Wars Land details
* Episode VII getting a rewrite
* #WheresRey
* Star Wars to merge with Marvel Cinematic Universe
* Matt Groening developing show for Netflix
* Netflix original programming gets renewed
* Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark: Del Toro Edition
