This Week in Geek’s Loose Cannon is our all around movies podcast covering the weird, wild, or sometimes nostalgic world of films.

This time, our full crew of Birdman, Ken, David and Adam discuss the two lovably nostalgic cult classics that are the Goofy Movies. Yes, the two movies that are the spiritual successors to the Goof Troop TV series have become Millennial staples much to the surprise of Disney themselves. Well…one of them has. The other is well, listen to the discussion and find out.

It’s another TWIG Loose Cannon. Please Be Kind and Don’t Forget to Rewind before returning your videos to the shelves.

Today TWIG’s special Interview, Mike “The Birdman” sits down with the Guardians of the Globe…err, we mean our friends at Free league Publishing to talk about INVINCIBLE: THE RPG

Based upon the Robert Kirkman comic book series and the Amazon Prime animated series, Invincible: The RPG is developed by Adam Bradford and Tomas härenstam and brings this brutally inventive universe together. The trio talk about game development, power scaling and what makes a superhero game so hard but fun to develop for.
Are you a teenage hero, a street defender or maybe working for Cecil himself, are you ready to become…

INVINCIBLE!
