For Geek's Sake

Former host/Random asshole with an opinion Al Sterling joins the trio this week to break down the season 8 premier...

It’s been an amazing run, and we thank you for everything.

We’re not going quietly into that good night, ladies and gentlemen. We’re going out rowdy, and we hope you’re enjoying the ride. Our main topic this week is “Why We Geek”, and we are fortunate to be joined by Forest “The Experience” Brooks and Senior Legal Correspondent T. Bradford Petrino of Korshak and Associates located in Casselberry, Florida. It’s a great conversation, and we hope you all enjoy it as well. Here’s what else is on the docket… The latest Good Omens trailer shows us why the end of the world will be so damn entertaining… Disney promises to release “it’s entire library”, to which Uncle Remus and the Jim Crows said, “Huh?” We’re getting new details on James Gunn’s Suicide Squad 2… apparently racoons and trees were entirely to normal for him. We add our voices to those supporting Alex Trebek, as classy a man as you can ask for And Pathfinder announces its second edition, meaning your wizard/samurai/barbarian with it’s +876 initiative is gonna need to be tweaked a bit…   Only one more epi

We've got an informal discussion of Marvel's latest entry, Captain Marvel. We've got a full house and a lot to cover, so please enjoy!!

We’re thrilled to welcome back the Draft Master and Sir Ivan Wysocki for our very last draft! We’re as on the rails as we get these days through the rest, but here’s the rundown: The Chinese government has a thing against a certain silly old bear, and it’s affecting Overwatch… which has zero bears, silly or otherwise Telsa has had a few other crashes because people never read the damn instruction manual Bleeding Cool News says Disney is going to stop Marvel from publishing comic books, which is as likely as that whole “flat earth” thing The Space X Dragon capsule docked successfully with the International Space Station. No joke here, that’s just awesome. Let us know your draft picks!!! Thanks for listening!

We’re finally doing a Star Trek episode!! We’re breaking down every TV series with the good, bad, and ugly as we celebrate one of the most important television properties of all time. If you’re not a Trekkie (or Treker), fear not. Here’s what else is on deck: Jeff Bezos has definitely not locked Lord of the Rings writers in a room until they meet his demands Cryptocurrency folks freak out over the block chain being “hacked”, but Tim called that just like he called the destruction of BitCoin Rotten Tomatoes continues to combat trolls, to greater or less degrees of success Samsung rolls out a 3-screen folding phone, giving you 3 different screens to have that special crack on the corner of And DC Comics announces they’re cutting their number of titles in half. And its way more confusing than it sounds. Only 3 episodes left… thank you all for the amazing ride!

We’ve got an actual pastor on our show (he got lost), and we’re using him as our litmus test on whether our famous moments of geek are famous enough… Here’s what else is on the agenda: We’ve built AI text generator so good the company is afraid to release it, so that should end well A study out of Oxford says video games don’t make kids violent, shocking Call of Duty players everywhere Captain Marvel is getting exactly the press you think it is A new device makes it easy to lojack your kids And DC learned making Jesus a sidekick isn’t great marketing   Thanks for listening!!! 4 episodes left!!

We’re talking about password security and a missing $190 million in crypto-currency.

Happy 200 to us! We’re taking it super easy this week. We’re foregoing the traditional format to talk about podcasting, reminisce, and drink too much. We hope you enjoy it. And if you don’t, well, we’ve got 199 other episodes for you instead. :-)

We’re thrilled to welcome Nicholas from the local WarHammer podcast WARlando!! He’s here to finally bring the knowledge of WarHammer to the world of FGS! It took a while, but the airship makes it all worth it. Also… YouTube has decided driving with your eyes covered isn’t a great idea The Notorious AOC makes a controversial claim on a Twitch Stream… for a good cause Black Panther gets the nod for Best Picture And the Robot Apocalypse takes a surprising turn… Thanks for listening and SUBSCRIBE!!!

We’re talking tech this week, and whether or not using Siri counts as cheating. It doesn’t, of course, because Siri will get it all wrong anyway. That’s not all, of course… here’s what else is on deck: Activision and Bungie split, leaving Activision talking to the SEC… Lady Sif gets her own series on Disney+ Geeks lose “NPC” as it gets hijacked for political purposes Jordan Peele does a victory lap with Weird City And the first Spider-Man: Far from Home trailer looks as amazing as we hoped Thanks for listening and tell a friend!!

We’re breaking down Bandersnatch, the Choose Your Own Adventure-style episode recently dropped on Netflix. Did it work? Was it fun? Will you bury someone in the backyard? We’ve got it all here. You can also find the fantastic flowchart for the show here. But, of course, that’s not all… The FCC greenlights Soli, a tracking technology using radars to detect finger motions China lands a probe on a side of the moon that gets plenty of sunlight Elon warns us that the first time you strap people to a new rocket something might go bad Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse wins a Golden Globe, because IT DAMN WELL SHOULD And everyone panics because Apple didn’t make all of the money. Just most of it.   Thanks for listening, and TELL A FRIEND!!!     Find us @ https://www.facebook.com/ForGeeksSake/ https://www.patreon.com/ForGeeksSake https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCulB https://fgs.podbean.com/
