Stars and planets and meteorites, oh my!

Since the beginning of time, man has looked up and felt awe and wonder at what he saw. We discuss the moon, the galaxies, constellations, and space exploration. We even discuss Pluto's status as a dwarf planet.

The second Stephen King novella from the Different Seasons collection. We talked about the book and its subsequent film. Quite dark, extremely heavy, and definitely not “Shauna friendly”. We both agree, we're not really geeking out about this particular one. If WWII themes, murder, or David Schwimmer bother you, trigger warning!

Today's root beer is XXX. Don't worry, it's still Shauna friendly!

We each grew up watching a variety of musicals, from Annie to Ziegfeld. We've even gotten to perform in a few on stage. Also, we both got caught up in the storms that were Phantom of the Opera and Les Miz. In many ways, narratives through music make the stories and even the emotions portrayed much more poignant.

For our centennial episode, we deep dive into what it meant to us to grow up in the 80’s and 90’s, and experienced firsthand how being a geek went from being a social pariah to a mainstream protagonist of American culture and entertainment. We’ve helped geek movies be the highest grossing films of the year. We’ve helped video gaming go from a casual pastime to a religious devotion. We’ve even learned how to apply geek wisdom to our parenting techniques to raise geek children!

Long live La Vie Geek!

….and then we continue going over the top with the acclaimed sequel album. If Bat I is Steinman’s idealized teenage fantasy, with Bat II, the teen has grown up and is now dealing with the crushing effect adulting has on those dreams. Peter Pan was right; we should have stayed forever young!

Today’s root beer is Rocky Mountain.
