We Are The Geek: The Chroniclers Of Darkness by Uncle Yo

It's the Sci-Fi death echoing throughout the community. Dan and Yo sit down to reflect on the part of geek culture that seeks to immortalize actors and characters, and why it's healthy for our struggle as humans to draw upon the positive lessons of their lives. For some of us, we had Picard, we learned alongside Data. Some of us lost Optimus Prime and Spike Spiegal first-hand, but all of us grew stronger from it. Rest in Peace, Mr. Nimoy. Your legacy and integrity keeps us looking for our future among the stars.

Minimalist horror puts the players in a corner fending off animatronic terrors in the two most popular horror games of 2014. Now, Yo introduces you to the creator, its characters, cheats, fan theories, and analyzes it from a horror actor's point of view.

A very special send off to the characters of Dungeon Crawlers as Benny, Thrak and Mumbar the Wizard (and JED?) hijack the usual episode to say their thanks and deny their involvement in previous crimes. We also bring back Jed "Frobarr" Blue to read too deeply into the series.

Dan and Yo dive into the wonky illustrations and adventure-a-week of Jumanji: the Animated Series. Combining unusual voice acting talents with 19th-century Romanticism, this world was part jungle, part Matrix. But what gems can we glean from a show that even UPN tried to cancel?

Monday, Jan 26th: "Mighty Max" COPY: Yo and Lavoie first met bonding over Mighty Max, the innovative, self-contained palm-sized toys for boys, as well as the 1992 animated series it inspired starring Rob Paulsen as Max. In 40 episodes, this series featured a worldview of cultures, mythologies, and even literary villainy on a macro-scale rarely seen in animation at the time. Fate vs. Free Will was pitted against each other as often as Good vs. Evil. How did they draw such compelling source material from a kids' toy?

Yo and Dan Lavoie are at odds on who is writing, enforcing, and directing new comic book rating systems. Do they apply today as the did before dropping the Comic Code Authority in 2010? Are we allowed to draw the line between sex and violence? As mainstream media (TV, comics, movies) compete with freelance media (podcasts, webcomics, Netflix,) morals and lines keep blurring. At least we've finally patched up Powergirl's boob window.

Yo pulls in Dan Lavoie from Team Tekko and Tiny Robot Studios to gripe and glorify the past eight years of DC's show-running Green Lantern franchise under Geoff John's Sinestro-like guidance. We trace back from Hal Jordan's descent into evil through Parallax leading up to the new event, Godhead. What does it take to sell the Green Lantern as a character? As a super-power? What the Hell is willpower if everyone has it? LINKS: Did you check out Yo's profile at Off-Beat Bride.com yet? He can marry you and your beau/beau-in-a-dress. PRODUCER JIMMY'S NOTE: Read Emerald Dawn, if you can get your hands on it. It's fantastic.

Yo breaks down the themes, both visual and musical, behind Cartoon Saloon's latest animated fable, "Song of the Sea." The studio became famous after producing "The Secret of Kels." Now, a modern retelling of the Selkie story pulls a family's emotional grief in parallel with a world losing all magic and ties to its heritage and past.

Yo sits down with front-runner of Platform One and professional Professor Snape impersonator, Nigel Taylor. Anglo-philes pine, Vampires herd their Kine, and Potterheads leave feeling fine. LINKS: Vladimir Snape on Youtube
