Big Yanks and for those of you who have been on the show before and been on the forums at Geekscape.net. You're a big character there on the forums right? Yes. Yes I am. Now why do you spend more time than the show's host on the forums? Because I have my job and I have nothing better to do. That's great. I get paid $15.00 an hour for it too. Oh that's nice. You get paid $15.00 an hour to watch Geekscape and be on the forums. Yeah pretty much. The great thing about that is that last role is making me nervous actually. I quit my day job so that I can dedicate it more to the Geekscape. Geekscape. Watch more movies reviewing more video games reading more comics. Basically watching my life good on the shithole for you guys. Yeah can we get more skits now? You guys will get more skits. Thank you. You guys will get a better site and I said why not go down the shithole in New York City. Thanks. My hometown and my neighborhood. Thanks. This is actually my neighborhood. So this is episode 22. Last episode we reviewed Spider-Man 3. Piece of shit. We haven't had a chance to go see the movies this week because I'm graduating college and had a trip to New York but next week we're going to review 28 weeks later and we'll have some guests but right now it's just going to movie news. What is some of the big news you've heard about so far? You need some help? I got it. Yes thank God. Okay we're talking about the Hobbit right? I'm a Hobbit. You kind of are a Hobbit. Okay so we're just making me nervous. Don't be nervous. You're doing good right? You're better than Gilmore. I'm doing better than my last interview. I can say that after Spider-Man 3 it left me a little bit traumatized that's why. It was a piece of shit. What do you think of Venom? Which I call Space Demon. Space Demon. The whole movie was semen. Go ahead Stacy. Go ahead Stacy was semen. But she made semen. Come on. So dude the Hobbit. Talk around. They're trying to make the movie Peter Jackson and I'm gonna let him do it at New Line. Because he did a bad job. Yeah well they know he did not. Yeah okay. You didn't like the loyal rings? King Kong. King Kong was for Universal. I don't like King Kong. All right that's okay but but they're talking about Sam Raimi doing it now they're talking about Peter we were doing it. Don't let Sam Raimi do it. What up? Spider-Man 3. Spider-Man 3 is one for how many? How many movies is this dude knocked out of the park? I don't know. All the Evil Dead movies. Dark Man. For Brian Gilmore. I met a dude. I met a dude I met a dude last week who actually said for the love of the game. The Kevin Conster movies him Raimi did said it was good. That movie was a piece of shit cuz there's no way that Detroit Tigers can pitch a perfect game against the Yankees. That is totally unbelievable bullshit. Especially Kevin Conster. He can't pitch a perfect game. Let alone the Yankees. Yeah what I like is that you're like oh guy shooting spider waving from his wrist. Believable. That's believable. It is. Kevin Conster pitching a perfect game. Let alone playing for the Detroit Tigers. That's cool. It's good to have an insider's perspective on that whole game. They land them with sports now. I can't tell myself on that on the forums. On the sports? Yeah. Dude you could talk about whatever you want on the forums. No geeks don't talk about sports. So you know who Peter Weir is though right? No. He did. Tell me one more video. Peter Weir did Australian guy. He did the last one he did was that that that sailing movie with some name that. Master and Commander. Master and Commander. Master and Commander. I think he's a good director but dude it's the Hobbit. You kind of have to have like a geek to do it. Yeah. You know what I mean? I don't watch Master. In all honesty let's just have Peter Jackson do it just to figure out whatever your problem is and just have him do it right. He already did load of the rings myself. Finish it up a Hobbit. So listen welcome to podcasting. Podcasting. Yeah I know. I can like this. Oh. You know. Do you hear the problem? No he don't hear it. Yeah. Alright. Alright. So I have two producers with me. Two of my fellow students at Columbia. This is Rachel Vine. Look at her down there hanging out with Laura. Nicole actually produced my 8 to 12. But dude the biggest geek I know is my buddy Jim pal Granelli over here. I've been here. I'm talking. Dude Jim get over here. Come come talk about Ninja three destruction. Ninja three destruction. Is that biggest get over here? Is it volume or just in terms of geekiness? But it's standing in place of big gangs. Big gangs. See I'm not like you. No no. You're good. You're good. You want to hug it up. Where should I move? Are we still in frame? Creed. I like how you nod and you're not even looking at me. Son of a bitch. Mike Credler who's doing the camera now. Like you've been camera quality as big young. This is a big reason just out of frame. So uh. No I'm fine with that. You can come. I don't want to be all alone with him. This is Jim. Jim. Jim's the kind of person who like hey dude what's your address and I'll tell him and then a week later I end up with a copy of Action Jackson on DVD and you're like it was in the bargain bin. It was in the bargain bin. Come on. Uh but recently this same bargain bin hunting that you do. Mm-hmm. And I mean you guys can go on the forums and talk about like your favorite bargain bin finds. I think yours actually is the Criterion Edition of Robocop. Oh hell yeah. Because that thing's been out a bit forever. Criterion Edition of Robocop for only 20 bucks. That was the find of a lifetime. Try finding that on me. That's the X-rated cut with like the extra like 90 seconds of pure gore. So uh. Unfindable like anywhere. You'd pay like probably like 80 bucks for it on eBay if you could find it. So so talk about your bargain bins on the forums. But what was the find recently? Oh the most recent one I didn't realize it was out. It was night of the comments. I know the comment is out on DVD. Ten bucks version. But I'm actually trying to get you to talk about Ninja three there. Oh god that was the best one. Well that was the used VHS rack at like a mom and pops video store in fricking Clifton New Jersey where my parents live. I'm walking through there. I had to go get a new passport photo taken. I'm walking by the place and looking at looking at the rack and I hadn't seen this movie since like 1988. I think on it was like one of those things that they ran on cable like perpetually on like TBS and TNT after it was on HBO. It's about a ninja who gets killed on a job and possesses the body of an aerobics instructor to murder to murder the cops who murdered him. She had nothing to do with it. And even like even like like the non like ninja stuff is like bizarre in this movie. There's like the scene where she seduces this cop and she like pours V8 juice down herself. So the cop could look at all of her. It's so fucking random. So speaking of random. Remember when you produced the Coke spot? Oh god. Yes. I knew this was coming. I just moved into a new apartment mic. New apartment. No furniture. So we're sleeping back then. We didn't even have heat. No this is what it had. We moved our PS2 in there and our TV. Because we have priorities. Yeah we had to play Lord of the Rings. We don't have a phone line. We didn't play Lord of the Rings. I have no way to connect to Internet. What were we playing? We were playing like like the Return to the Rings. Return. Yeah the last the Return to the King game. And so so like we're all sleeping back on and on and on. That night. This is my first night in this new apartment. That night Jim and I are sleeping and sleeping. But there's only people there. And we hadn't gotten all of our keys from the first tenant. So I was thinking that in the middle of night somebody with the keys was gonna come and stab us. And I had no search worries about that. The middle of the night I'm asleep. All of a sudden I hear the most hellish. I'm getting raped in my sleep like that. Scream. I hear this scream and I wake up like I know you're dead. You're dying. I thought you were dying. And he goes Jim. I'm grabbing from my glasses because I wear a contact. And I put him on and I go you were right. You go snakes. I was so out of sleep man. I was half asleep at God awful nightmare. I thought there was I thought there were snakes in the room. I don't know what I wonder where that dream came from. I don't know man. What you were doing before I before I like woke up like in the middle of these God awful night terrors. I have no idea and I'm never gonna ask. Good thing you were super on your back though. I think I was thankfully. Do you want to do some more news? Yeah. Let's go to the nervous. All right. All right. Well we got no. Are we we had this new Terminator trilogy? They're starting with the four corners in the future. I honestly could not really it's done as far as I mean unless they have like somebody really good doing it or some compelling story. What why? Who could play John Connor that make you give a crap. Now this is the movies. This isn't the TV series Sir Sir Connor. No no no no. I know. Which I called you in the beast too. It's gotta be. It's gotta be. Why is Ron Perlman in it? No but come on. I only want to watch Sir Connor on TV if she's like making out with a giant cat thing living in a sewer. Right? Yeah. Did they ever make it? Did they ever have kittens? No. She died. I remember because my mom was actually a huge fan of that show and and Linda Hamilton died in that. I didn't know that yeah, like tort she had a kid in the show They had a kid but she died but after she had the kid because he was he was stuck alone and he and somebody else had the kid or something So an answer to that question who watched that shit Nicole Nicole of course has knows all of this immediately because she watches more TV than as humanly possible but new movies new movies in the pointless I Don't really see one no and unless they cast casting is kind of incidental. I mean it's like if there's a story Then great, but if not they're just going for the money, and I don't I can think of better ways to spend 10 or 12 bucks, right? Well, how would you spend 10 or 12 bucks comic shop probably yeah, that's that's the answer for everybody now Are you are you hiding from the camera? Are we still centered Mike? Look at he's like am I I'm not doing it? Nicely wait, am I open your private space? Yeah, you're violating my territorial bubble Bonus points to anybody who knows what movie that's from Peter Jackson violating a territorial bubble Jeffrey Combs anyone anyone our audience right now is like I know it's the answer is the Frighteners god Yeah, the one that nobody liked I like that one. I know it's a good movie, but dude.

You recently went on the date though, right? Oh, man You're not gonna make me tell this story. Are you? Why not? Uh, well, I'll just describe the girl quick and geek terms. She was the equivalent of that she was the equivalent of Marla and fight club without an ounce of sex appeal and even more messed up personally dinner conversation consisted of her telling me about her bout of alcohol poisoning back in January and what happened when she was passed out She was passed out on her toilet. She was leaning against a hot water pipe that was burning her and she was not feeling it Now what movie did you guys go see hot for us that was the last hot fuzzy saw that night, right? Thank God.

It's like a rubber monster movie that they're making for paramount. Yeah, it's gonna be G rated They're making a G-rated movie How does that affect you? Because you love team America. You love South Park. Yeah. Yeah, you're okay with them doing a G-rated movie Or would you rather see the rubber monster movie be our I would hope that there would be a director's cut Has there ever been a G-rated movie with a director's cut that's more hardcore I Wonder Maybe that's what they're doing. I'm okay with it. Just being G though Cuz you know I like cartoons and stuff with that. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm okay with seeing them with G movie It's a rubber dude. It's dudes and rubber suits. Yeah. I love that. I know you do Rachel all right. I love having you on the show. I'm gonna tell you come back. All right Oh, she's originally from LA. Yeah the OC. You're always complaining about me, but I know you love me I'm like a retarded brother You are very much like my retarded brother. The one I don't speak about It's like sloth. I'm your sloth Yeah Steven get over here. Yeah, this is Steven from the forums We can segue into comic books now. You like how we did that? How are we doing on time? We've been recording for 23 minutes, right? Oh, we're kicking ass. We're kicking ass. We're already on comic books We don't need more. Oh, wait you skipped over that Star Wars news though. Oh, yeah Yeah, I want to tell you that you guys all heard that thing about George Lucas saying that we're gonna be two more Star Wars movies But they're gonna be made for TV, right? Yeah, and I Have some a little bit of inside information, and I think that fucking no the jowls Make sure you're on camera, right? He's on camera Mike. Where do you want us to go Mike? Okay? Oh over here Oh, he was right. I was wrong. So I think I've never done this before Man Okay, yeah What's your insider information? Okay, so I don't think actually he's making two TV movies What I have heard is that You remember when episode three after episode three came out He announced they were doing two TV shows one was the Clone Wars 3D animated, and then one was a live-action It's a good I just get nervous. I Project I did theater So I think he's actually doing three TV series It's come up that he's gonna do two animation live action Star Wars TV series One of the animated animated one's gonna come out soon, but the live-action TV series are gonna come out to like 2009 - does he know that we're done. No, we're over it. No our childhood's dead No, he doesn't know that because Nicole you remember we went to see like a tag of the clones at midnight Movie sucked. I think the best thing that came out of that story about the two movies was when Lucas said that spider-man was silly Now, did you think that spider-man 3 was silly? I think that's ridiculous that he after making that trilogy said it was Unfortunately, I haven't seen spider-man 3 yet because I'm scared to see it Should be yeah, yeah, it's it's got the trilogy problem Which is Lucas's problem - it's the reason that Star Wars the first Star Wars movie was so great It's cuz he didn't know he was gonna make any more movies So you you know you go you know you go balls to the wall if you don't think you're gonna get to make any more movies when you know you're making sequels You start to hold back all I can get it in the next film. I can get it in the next film and The film start to lose right and I think that's what happened with that with Spidey You know they and then they get to the third one They got to throw everything all in at once and it gets you know little dogs. No, uh, I just got distracted You were pointing at the dogs. I was like, oh nice dog. I miss hanging cheese I miss them. They were on last episode. Hank and cheese. Yeah, you know that Hank and cheese Stephen is a modern boy. Yeah, modern boy 1974 which is the year I was born not too modern, but Theron lies the whole it's a post-modern kind of thing. Yeah There's the twist so comics dude. Okay comics. We got to talk on the plane. I've been reading 54 and chunks 52 You mean 54 is that that's good. I've been reading I've been reading 52 and chunks because I can't keep track of DC that well That's the best way to read it. Um, I have to read it I have to make my own like little trades, right? I read from I read number 44 through 52 on the plane, okay So that was all the ends of all of the stories of all the stories. Yeah, what was your? reaction to 52, okay well It just went out with a whimper right felt like You know, I know that that when they're writing the series they sort of changed the direction in the middle of the series They didn't really they they they they ended up liking Characters more than they thought they were gonna like characters. They rewrote the stories, but it really just it didn't it went out Really? Sadly, you know, it just didn't I was like what what did I just do for a year? You know, what was I reading for a year? So the one thing is that uh unlike Civil War like Civil War just felt like a giant advertisement for more series Yeah, this one actually felt like it had a little bit of closure to it. Yeah, it did it did It's props on that thing and Mr. Mind. It made the little giant worm actually kind of cool Yes, that was totally the best part of it that that Mr. Mind was trying to take over the world and eat all of the the Earth's That was cool. Yeah, the multiverse now in 52 they re-established the DC multiverse right 52 different earth right right and And you actually see them being created because I guess But dude, I don't really know what happened at the end of it. That was my problem with 52 I only knew what I only knew half of what was going on at any given There was so much to keep track of over the 52 weeks that you sort of at the and and they end its stories early You know to try and get it to this big story, but yeah at the end You're just kind of like wait did I just go through all this like the plastic man story or not plastic man The the elastic the story that one I thought could have been good But it needed a little more real estate to tell it story Yeah, exactly and then but I feel like they've beaten Ralph Dibney into the ground right now He's a ghost with his wife at the end, you know and spoilers. Sorry. Yeah, that's fine I don't know. I think that they just need to let him go. You know, I mean his whole story With dr. Fate and then it ended up, you know not being dr. Fate. No, not being dr. Fate And you it wasn't like really I don't know it just seemed like it didn't end right it didn't end like It out of nowhere comes this character comes this you know this whole storyline with Faust that you're like Faust was doing this whole time. So um now they they're segueing right into like countdown right What in Paul Dini is the main guy on that one, right? Right now that takes place in current continuity, right? Yes, I'm trying to figure this out because yes, we're literally on top of an Amtrak Tunnel underneath the park Right, that's weird I guess they do it in LA too But we're literally on top of it. Oh, but nobody rides it in LA What if yeah, what if can't or he isn't doesn't have Dennis Hopper just went under us and he just like to get he's like I'm taller That whole scene what if that just happened underneath us speed just happened underneath us It would be the all-time greatest episode of geeks yet. No, we're like holy shit. That just happened So counting I The first issue just came out as of the the taping of this episode, right? I I like 52 don't know what the hell's going on Well, so countdown apocalypse is coming back Dark side dark seed got it. Yeah, dark side. No DC Apocalypse, that's marvelous. Yeah apocalypse Yeah, I guess dark side is trying to You know dark side is gonna try and take over the multiverse as usual, you know, another multiverse thing Well, I mean the first issue you already had them addressing the multiverse because you had dweller joker's daughter Right. It's from it's from it from a different earth, you know and the monitors coming in and and policing it and you know Now stop with the multiverse I gotta tell you cuz cuz they're starting to do more universes in In the Marvel Universe to with this like the zombie craze right right now They have like Marvel zombies that turned into army darkness versus Marvel zombies. I turned into Marvel zombies It came out of ultimate right fantastic for and now the ultimate universe is doing the whole thing with the Supreme power universe And I'm just like stop it. Okay. I'm telling you right now stop it because this last one in Kirkman wrote it The last issue of the of this Marvel zombies book. Yeah, I was I was not into it at all and in fact I'm totally over it And it's gonna happen in back panther. I'm like dude leave it alone. There are too many zombie books Going on right now. Yeah, I mean every book IDW seems to publish as a zombie book Like stop publishing zombie books. It's not cool anymore. Well, my problem Marvel is they they always seem to like milk a hit I mean, you know, like there's so many Okay, you know, they had house of them. They got rid of all the mutants yet. There's still like 30 x-men books that make no sense. I just can't you know, I even I have actually stopped reading x-men at this point because I don't know who any of the characters are there's no real team They're always out in space all the time now which yeah none of the none of the good stories ever took place in space You know, I'm reading that right now. I just I just like that things that like I'm able to follow it I don't think it's good, but I'm able to follow it. And that says a lot for an x-men book That's true. That's you know, I can actually start an issue and kind of know what happened in the last one Right. That's a huge testament Right to some of these books because sometimes I pick up an issue. I'm like, what what happening in? Yeah, yeah They're all kind of all over the place. So so what do you recommend for somebody who's like not even into any of this stuff? Big comment but question. What are you reading? What would you recommend? Uh, what would I recommend? Who's not into any of this stuff doesn't like superheroes or anything like superheroes? That's that's tough. That's tough. Um, you're a big superhero guy. I'm a big superhero guy, you know Um, which back to the multiverse real quick is that what's cool about the DC multiverse is that now, you know kingdom come Can actually happen. Yeah, and that's when you see a little bit of it Well, and and justice society and and justice league are both pushing towards that as well now. So but stuff that for um indie comics Um, um, I read I actually do read a lot of indie comics a lot of like um stuff from, um, only press. Um, I really like this. Yeah, and I've lost track of them Because I know they're doing like scott pilgrim and stuff like that. Like what are some of the good books on money? They're also doing the, um, the Stephen Colbert comic book. Uh, wow. Yeah. Yeah, tech Johnson. Wait, wait. What is this? I you know what? I don't know. I see. I didn't know Stephen Colbert had a comment. Yeah, he has his character tech jansen. That's uh on his show Okay, they talked about the books and uh, only press is actually doing the comic book for tech jansen. So that's great. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah And wait, has that come out yet? Um, I don't know if it's come out yet. I don't know. That's the, that's the only problem with indies is because You know schedules are always always messed up so you can you've got to just keep it out for it. I don't think it's come out yet But it's definitely coming out. I'd be interested in that now is he like what is his creative role and he created the character I don't think that he's doing anything else with it. I don't think he's writing it. I mean, it's so busy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah So I would be interested in that. That would get me to to pick up the book. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Now, what is this character? You know, I don't have the time to really watch tv. I don't really know. I mean, it's not the NBA playoffs or tv He's like a what? Jim come here. Yeah, stay in the middle He's kind of like Adam strange like rocket jetpacks and outer space hijinks and beautiful new bile women and scanty clothes and everything and It's just just like Steve Colbert's ego run amok as like the sci-fi superhero Like dig dodgers kind of yeah Buck Rogers. Yeah Well, Stephen Colbert is a huge geek. I don't know if you know that's right. No, no, definitely Yeah, I mean, he's done like Star Wars parodies. He's done like his lord of the rings thing when they had when um when uh, what's his name? The the Strider was on the daily show right they did they play this audio clip of Stephen Colbert like running down the characters from lord of the rings You know how excited he was? He was gonna be a show. Yeah, vego more instant, right? And so vego more instant brought him like a set of candy Uh lord of the rings action figures, you know, it's crazy. He's a huge geek. So it's kind of cool that you know I'll pick that up. Yeah, the captain america thing was great that he did Yeah, the shield is part of the cold air shrine. Yeah on his set. Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah That you maybe I should start watching it. It's good. It's funny. It's really it's a really funny I don't even really watch like South Park on on commie central, you know I might be too political for you. It might be too political for me. Yeah, it's very very political very topical Huge like satirical stabs at the right wing. So I don't know. I don't know anything that's going on on tv um So I really want to introduce my buddy christopher over here because he christopher is actually from the furthest place away any geek scape Membe any geek scape gas has ever been.
