The Geek Down

DCs badass space bounty-hunting biker is potentially getting his own movie. And as stupid as every word in that last sentence was, we're still very excited. Pat gives a little Lobo history, and a lot of skepticism here.

A new movie chronicling the life of Michael Jackson is in production. From the perspective of the one who knew him the absolute best - his pet chimpanzee Bubbles. Pat had a hard time taking it seriously, but Adam and Dewey Decimator were right on board.

Capcom announces the release of their Resident Evil T-Virus... perfume. Because hey, who WOULDN'T want to smell like a rotting corpse? We discuss how awesome it'd be if spraying the novelty perfume was a real-world version of the in-game T-Virus and everyone became zombies. Or Mutants. Or Pyramid Head, leading to a franchise war for copyright infringement.

Jokes made by Ali G and a poorly thought-out skit bring the MPAA under scrutiny for being racially insensitive. In the midst of the #oscarssowhite fiasco it seems that even when they're paying attention the committee's are still somewhat blind.

We discuss Bubbles the Chimpanzee and his memoirs on the King, talk about Lobo finally getting his respect, and Rogue Burlesque gives us the inside stuff on their crew while giving props to other locals sets. it's the sexiest talk about rubber chickens you'll come across in your f#$%in' LIFE!!!

We discuss Phife Dawg, founding member of the legendary hiphop group A Tribe Called Quest, who passed away at age 45. Tales of how we were effected for both the better are shared, and effected for the worse are OVERshared. It gets a little too personal...

Comedy icon Gary Shandling passes away at age 66. We tell stories of how his comedy affected the world, and our own run-ins with Shandling aka Larry Sanders, including knowing him as the proto-Conan/Letterman and the understated harbinger of doom in Marvel's MCU

Icons are missed but not forgotten, childhood figures are rehashed and bastardized, and somehow by the grace of Cthulu we still manage to keep it witty and informative.

The 'Overwatch' character Tracer's butt-pose causes an uproar among decency advocates across the internet. Maybe if they'd put her in some day-glo yoga pants instead...

Valve makes controller schematics available for Steam players to customize their own, and we discuss the many, MANY ways to capitalize and exploit this for shameless personal gains and possibly profit. One of our nerdier conversations that Adam had to tap out for.
