A Fuzzball Tribute Episode. I know every one who listens isn't my BFF but recently a great big hole was ripped in the geek world by the passing of my friend Shaun. He was always so supportive of my podcasting endeavors and if I'm honest is one of the reasons I even started doing one. He put me on one f his episodes sparking an interest (shoutout to Kevin for this too!). He helped me set this thing up step by step, he listened and critiqued, he even deigned to record with me. To pay tribute to someone gone too far too effing soon, I decided to post both of his episodes together in the longest Laugh It Up Fuzzball episode yet. Shaun always complimented my consistency (a running joke between us) but this week is not one for happy geek talk. Instead... enjoy the comedic talk between two friends and enjoy the wit of the best podcaster I'll ever have the privilege to know. Another week down for you bub and I promise there will be a new one next week. Rest in peace friend. Thanks for talking geek movies with me. All my love and save me a seat in that big podcast studio in the sky.

Woo! A Tuesday episode courtesy of Blue and Justin stopping by to hang out on the weekend to give me a break from studying. I certainly missed having guest episodes and this was just the thing. Bonus... this turned out to be a hilarious, fun-filled edition of The Comic Book Movie Defenders as we go over not one, not two, but three X-Men movies that some find less than awesome: X-Men: The Last Stand aka X3 (2006), X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009), and X-Men: Apocalypse (2016). Who'd have thought we'd get to ramble for over an hour plus add some musical hilarity into an episode that includes Justin's impressions of Shaq, King T'Challa, and Nic Cage. Enjoy!
