The Geek Down

Crime runs rampant in the realm of geekdom. Be it geeky paraphernalia being pilfered, mascots being manipulated, or just the fans good will being grossly wasted - we cover all of it! Ryan, Jonny and Amy join Adam and Pat for the mutual outrage

When Marvel movies started making a comeback several years ago, naturally the big names like X-Men and Spider-Man were tapped for big screen action. But who the hell would think that a decade or two later they'd be dipping THIS deeply in the well ?! Not only is a cinematic "Doctor Strange" movie a thing, but with mind-blowing visuals and spot-on performances it manages to compliment the existing MCU while also telling it's own satisfying story. Dr. Stephen Strange's (Benedict Cumberbatch) life changes after a car accident robs him of the use of his hands. When traditional medicine fails him, he looks for healing, and hope, in a mysterious enclave. He quickly learns that the enclave is at the front line of a battle against unseen dark forces bent on destroying reality. Before long, Strange is forced to choose between his life of fortune and status or leave it all behind to defend the world as the most powerful sorcerer in existence. Pat gives a complete breakdown

Steve Dillon, legendary comic-book artist and co-creator, passed away at 54. He was known for a deeply expressive, often humorous style and considered a master of his craft by colleagues. Born in London in 1962, he started working in comics at age 16 for Marvel UK - the British imprint of Marvel Comics. In 1992 he teamed with Garth Ennis on Hellblazer, which would become one of the biggest long-running titles in comics history. The rapport they established led to Preacher, another pivotal series known for its often brutal subject matter and perverse sense of humor, in 1995. Mr. Dillon is survived by his parents, three children, a sister, and two grandchildren.

A quick tangent from a Mel Gibson story - Dr. Strange was dope, it's stars name id not

The Boston Circus Guild is a collaborative-based membership organization of circus performers, musicians, artists, dancers, and event producers from the American North East. They oversee the creation and running of original theatrical circus productions, entertainment booking for events, and maintenance of responsible financial, safety, and artistic conditions facilitating a society where artists work together for their collective benefit. They're also freaking kickass people who were cool enough to come give us the latest on their performers and upcoming shows.

Ryan got a taste of Virginia, a single-player first-person thriller set in a small town. A town with a secret. You run a missing person investigation through the eyes of graduate FBI agent Anne Tarver. While that SOUNDS interesting, Ryan lays out the real on whether or not it delivers

Ludicreations, the company that brought us "…and then, we held hands," "redacted," and the Dice Tower Approved "Mythe" suffered a theft while promoting their titles at a game fair in Germany. The immediate response was to create a new game based on theft. "Steal This Game"

While the event being promoted as having a "Triple Main Event" was seen as confusing, the cage matches were received mostly well. WWE finally allowed the female wrestlers to close-out a pay-per-view in the Women's Championship Match. Charlotte and Sasha Banks made history by being the first two women to compete inside Hell in a Cell, The New Day (Big E and Xavier Woods) defended the Raw Tag Team Championship against Cesaro and Sheamus, T.J. Perkins defended the Cruiser-weight Championship against Brian Kendrick, and the Reigns-Rusev match was a solid opener. JM gives the proper play-by-play including tap-outs, DQs, and contrived turns that fell flat.

On this episode we show WWE's No Mercy "no mercy," give NYCC the business-end of the business in part 1 of our coverage (Pat solo), and the Boston Circus Guild is in house to play with fire (figuratively...?).
