The Outliers

Changes are afoot! We are gonna be putting some serious effort into expanding The Outliers to a few more platforms. So July is gonna be exciting! This week is another classic Fanmob episode and we're talking all about Star Trek: Into Darkness. The conversation goes all over the place as we become a podcast divided on what to make of the movie. Very fun show. Hope you guys enjoy!

Our host says ITunes uses this section to pull keywords... so here goes: we may talk about comics, movies, television, video games, history, science, technology, PlayStation, Xbox, anime, cartoons, youtube, books, the internet, pop culture, sub culture, food, work, problems, ourselves, other podcasts, geek stuff, mundane stuff, work, or whatever tickles our fancy.

We're celebrating Superman this week with another classic throwback episode to our old Fanmob podcast. We're very excited to publish this gem on the Outliers feed because it is the first time we've had our brother in podcasting, the unofficial official third Outlier, the Voice himself, Mr. Jumma Jahdid on the show! We open with a discussion of some of the best Superman stories out there. Then we take the recording to the Man of Steel theatrical premier, where we went through the opening night line and spoke with the crowd as everyone was excited to see Superman on the big screen again!

WELCOME BACK EVERYONE! E3 wrapped and we have our favorite bits of news to share with all of you. So much big news this year that we had to condense it down to the biggest, most exciting announcements. We are very excited to be back at full audio strength with a new podcast equipment setup. Thanks to everyone who stuck with us through last week's phoned in recording.

Its that time of year again: E3 is happening and video game news will be dropping all this week. We have a bunch of things we'd like to see and Adam is running down the most hyped up games that might make news. Also have a follow up for last week's debate about the DC Universe streaming service following the premier and cancellation of Swamp Thing. Spoiler: It is not looking good for DC Universe. A little heads up is in order for this episode because we had an unfortunate equipment failure and had to literally phone in the recording. After editing the file I think it came out decent. We'll be back to normal soon enough, so keep your ears here!

We have a debate for everyone this week! Is DC Universe, the new streaming service for all media DC, worth subscribing to as it is now? Both of the Outliers go head to head as we go over the benefits and the not so benefits and whether its worth taking on another monthly bill just yet. Plus: Death Stranding game play trailer is here and we still don't know exactly what it is. But we're excited for all the sneaking! And there may be a new segment coming to the show... keep your ears here for the latest info!

We're back from last week's hiatus! This week its tech talk as the Outliers build a high end gaming rig and discuss what goes into building a PC. Details on the components and what is right for what you need straight from The Knowledge himself, Adam. We get into a little discussion of the new Batman casting. And end on a pro gamer esports topic: Tfue sues FaZe Clan over an oppressive contract. This and more since we're back behind the mics!

Back before there was The Outliers there was The Fanmob Podcast. We had a previous endeavor back in 2012-2013 that produced some really good content. Part of that content was an interview with a local comic book shop owner named Phil Schlaefer. His business, Comic Collector Shop in Sunnyvale, California welcomed your humble hosts in for a live interview with the man himself, Mr. Phil Schlaefer. We covered a lot of ground, from digital comics and the impact they have had on sales to comic con experiences to Phil's personal collections and his history as a comic shop owner in the bay area! This is a really great interview and we're thankful Phil and Comic Collector Shop gave us the time and welcomed us in for the day. If you are in the bay area give the shop a visit! Comic Collector Shop 574 E El Camino Real, Sunnyvale, CA 94087 and tell 'em The Outliers sent you!

Slow news week as far as we were concerned so this was a light episode. We have some amazing deep sea science for you to go check out from the folks conducting the Five Deeps Expedition. There was a bit of movie theater drama that we had to deal with in the real world. Then we get into a meta discussion on us getting our shit together to start streaming on Twitch. And of course we had to mention the public dumpster fire that one YouTuber has made for himself.

Now that Endgame is old news its time to get back to all the juicy new video game stuff that's happening. Mortal Kombat 11 just dropped... and of course, in classic 2019 fashion, there is drama already. Plus: Ubisoft is still bringing it with For Honor and all the holiday surprises and the Star Wars Day content did not disappoint. And we close out with a discussion on Rick Fox and his future with Echo Fox.

This is it! The Avengers: Endgame episode with all the spoilers, impressions, take aways, likes, dislikes, favorite moments, and future predictions! Been about a decade in the making for this movie. So if you haven't seen Avengers: Endgame GO SEE IT FIRST! Then come listen to this episode!
