The Geek Down

Even after 20,000 years prep time, the human race is STILL no match for the king of the Monsters in Netflix's GODZILLA: MONSTER PLANET. The Scooby Gang comes down off their bad trip to team with the corniest caped crusader ever to crush a clowns cojones in Netflix's SCOOBY DOO AND BATMAN THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD. On Nintendo Switch, STEAMWORD 2 has you picking axe and taking names (so leave the hose and bicycle pump at home). And then 30 men enter the ring only to be overshadowed by 30 women entering the ring afterwards in WWE's ROYAL RUMBLE 2018, featuring the first-ever Royal Rumble match for a Women's championship match at Wrestlemania 34. We give the inside stuff on ALL of it!

Netflix's THE END OF THE F**KING WORLD is the beautiful love story of two psychopaths coming into their own, complete with horribly horrible crimes and dry British wit. Then the farewell performance from Daniel Day Lewis in Phantom Thread, which brings a little levity to the oh-so-serious world of dress-making and design. Then we try SO hard to avoid the very obvious Zelda comparisons in the monster-infested dungeon crawling Zelda-like g--D'oh! BLOSSOM TALES: THE SLEEPING KING for Nintendo Switch, it really is a lot like Zelda, but we'll give you the full breakdown beyond that including what's good, bad, happy, sad, and just too damn charming. Then in CW's BLACK LIGHTNING we learn when you think you're out and they keep pulling you back in it's perfectly okay to beat the ever-loving F*** out of them... then find whoever sent them and ruin them... then maybe lunch... then burn the place down... then salt the earth and make sure they remember your name! To top it all off the 2018 BFIG TALKS took place recently. We'll give you the quick what's what and what's going down in gaming today!

Starting the year right with a look at what DIDN'T suck in film and gaming! Also reviews for 'Molly's Game' and 'Jumanji' starring Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart. Not to be outdone, Holy Crow Art is in in the house to rep High Energy Vintage!

Nostalgic for ass-beatings? Well "I, Tonya" gives the real on the Harding/Kerrigan scandal. Then the kids are alright in "Marvel's Runaways" (for REAL this time). "WWE's Clash of Champions" gives a best-of-the-best showdown. And "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" puts the graduating class in charge!

We review "The Shape of Water," a beautiful display of sex with fish (😐). Lisbeth Salander isn't bad, just drawn that way in the comic adaptation of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." Psychological horror is just SO kawaii, looking at the game "Doki Doki Literature Club!" And the film "The Swindlers" shows how a double-cross becomes a triple-cross becomes a quadruple-cross becomes a crucifixion!

Tommy Wiseau immortalized in The Disaster Artist. Taking another turn at Tooth and Tail. Also in the hot seat we've got comic writer Michael Terracciano discussing his weekly title Star Power

Things get really real and cold as ice in the hand-drawn action-exploration game set in Norse mythology, JOTUN! Also on the subject of checking selves, 3 BILLBOARDS is a darkly comic drama about a mother challenging lackluster police. The long-awaited film JUSTICE LEAGUE came to redeem the DCU's less-than-stellar rep and wreck a kinda-stellar retch. Topping off the action we'll have the Thriller Priest Thanksgiving helping of WWE with Survivor Series and NXT!

In Netflix's American Vandal, a dick plays dick to reveal a dick (who doesn't know dick) being railroaded by dicks for drawing dicks -- dickishness ensues! Also, you're the first, last, and only line of defense against weed overgrowth, waning produces, and the inhumanity of a looming corporate agricultural enterprise in Stardew Valley for Nintendo Switch. And then, no mechanical-glove means no mechanical-love in the action-adventure game Hob, from the team that brought you Torchlight and Torchlight II. On top of that, Need For Speed Payback struggles in the qualifying round. We've got the highs, lows, and dizzying middles!

Crossbones speeds towards cross bones in the Netflix film "Wheelman." "Jigsaw" moves the SAW franchise from torturing humans to beating dead horses. Mario fights sirens, the cyclops and other misconceptions in Super Mario Odyssey, and we take a look under the dark in Stranger Things 2 (...season 2, that is)

Things get hairy when you disrespect a Foreigner... especially if it's Jackie Chan. The film 'Meyerowitz stories' has Ben Stiller and Adam Sandler composing familial harmony, sort of. This years WWE Tables Ladders and Chairs has more curves than a centerfold with the bends. And friends of the show Schooltree return to talk tunes and the new Heterotopia BOOK!
