Therefore I Geek

In which, Tracy and staff writer Kurt Klein watch three SciFi movies and discuss how they are similar to other, more famous SciFi entertainment. Kurt reveals that he has watched Space Balls over 400 times, and Tracy discovers that it is possible to play six degrees to Alien with almost anything.

In which, Tracy and Andrew decide to bet on who can most accurately predict the Oscar winners this year. Tracy gets excited and forgets lots of actor names (Jodie Foster is the actress that people like to pretend is a man, by the way). Andrew gets sidetracked by the idea of Tangerines in Estonia. Yes, he did get his orange after the show.

Upon the 17th day of January in the Year of Our Lord 2015, Andrew availed himself of his gallant, mechanical steed of Japanese engineering and hied him to Marscon of legend. Quoth he, “I shall take upon myself to speak to comedy rock star Mikey Mason.” Tracy was sick.

In this podcast episode, Mikey reveals his RPG player voice, takes on the persona of “Pedantic Man,” and gives a fantastic feminist rant about strip clubs (it’s not what you’re thinking!). Yeah… that’s just a teensy bit of the hilarity that ensues. Trust me.

In which, Andrew and Tracy ask Eryk Donovan to reprise his guest appearance from Tidewater Comicon. We discuss his work with creator owned material and with Boom! Studios, as well as delving into the differences between digital art and analog art and find out a little bit more about just how important inkers are in the world of comic creation.

In which, Tracy and Andrew talk about the WHOLE year in geekdom. Yes. The whole year. Also, we are joined by Kurt Klein, one of our new staff members. Tracy reveals her favorite numbers, and Andrew (for the first time!) avoids telling an offensive joke.

In which, a third member of the cast and crew of Game Companion, Hannah Ryan, discusses being a strong woman, typecasting, and how working on a project she loved helped her solidify her dream of writing and acting in her own project. Andrew asks insightful questions, and Tracy gets very excited.

In which, Tracy and Andrew chat with Brian and Gord, the director and one of the actors of Game Companion, a short film about a couple of middle-aged gamers who are completely surprised to find that the reward for achieving master level in their fighter-style video game is a live “game companion.”

In which, the author of A Once Crowded Sky, and current writer on one of DC Comics’ best received current books, Tom King, shares insights on his creative genius and writing process with Andrew and Tracy. We discuss comic book tropes, the philosophy of a universe in which “everyone comes back,” and why Dick Grayson is not Batman.

**** SPOILER ALERT *****

In which, Andrew has a conversation with Santana Perez and Andrew Piovane about the hottest comics on the shelves this fall. Of course, Death of Wolverine is the big one, but there is a lot that is happening in the comic book world. There is also a discussion of up-coming comic book movies–especially Marvel’s Age of Ultron. As always, hilarity ensues.

In which, Therefore I Geek goes to comicon. Lots of people stop by our booth and chat with us, including some really amazing artists, cosplayers, and some man-on-the-street conversations. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, this was one of our funnest and most interesting podcasts yet!!
