This podcast is full of spoilers, so listen at your own risk.

In which, Andrew and Tracy watch and discuss the movie Groundhog Day, in anticipation of this week's podcast's release date, on Groundhog Day. We made no reference to the fact that this is our 50th official podcast episode (minus those few Special Editions), but indeed it is! We're a little floored that we've been recording our own voices talking about stuff for so long.

In which, Tracy and Kurt discuss the similarities and differences of Kingsman: The Secret Service and John Wick. They discuss Samuel L. Jackson's inconsistent speech impediment, and the dangers of messing with Keanu Reeves' dog. Andrew is out sick, and Tracy had a crash course in audio editing this week.

In which, Andrew and Tracy review last year’s resolutions (many of which we failed to complete–but we usually had good reasons!). We also map out our personal resolutions for the new year, some cool new stuff for the blog and podcast, and then discuss 2015 in geek culture and at large. Bring it on, 2016, we’re ready for you!

In Which Andrew and Tracy discuss Marvel’s ongoing event Secret Wars. Not going to lie, the feelings are pretty good all around. The duo talk event comics, feminism, and of course God-Doom.

In which, Andrew and Tracy sit down to watch a single pilot episode turned into an entire Star Trek movie, Tracy informs Andrew that she hates him, and we delve deeply into the character of one Commander Decker.

In which, Andrew and Tracy discuss Ernest Cline’s well-loved novel Ready Player One and his newest book Armada, that recently hit bookstore shelves. This podcast does contain spoilers, so consider yourselves warned.

In which, Andrew, Tracy, and Becky go deeper into the subject of being a geek–specifically discussing how being geeks affects our relationships. Tracy briefly talks about her post-diploma trip, and Andrew and Becky reveal that they are engaged.

Where Andrew talks B-movies with Rob Floyd, resident expert and all around great guy to talk with. From the supernatural, to the atomic and straight on through to grindhouse, the two gentlemen cover quite a bit of ground.

Where Andrew, Kyle, Kurt and Daryl spar over the finer points of the Alien franchise. There’s plenty of great things to talk about, though unfortunately, Alien3 was also discussed.
