From science fiction to sports, movies to music, books to Battlestar Galactica... we try to cover it all in our own, special, idiotic way.

When it comes to Ron Moore, we're pretty big fans... in case you haven't noticed by the approximately 800 hours of podcasts we've dedicated to Battlestar Galactica.

All it took was a few years, corporate buy out, a few dozen scandals, and a bunch of meh movies... but the folks at Warner Bros Discovery and DC have themselves a 10 year plan! What is it? Hell if we know. But lack of knowledge has never stopped us from flapping our gums about a subject and we're not about to start now. Will DC right the ship and get their cinematic universe in order? Should they even try? The idiots give their thoughts!
Also, we hear about The Man They Call Tim's adventures in scootering, watch the trailers for a couple flicks, and a good ol' fashioned rant from Uncle Todd in the Week In Geek.

We take a look back at the movies from the last gasp of the 20th century and pick our favorites and share some surprises. How highly will The Man They Call Tim rank The Phantom Menace in order to ingratiate himself to his dark overlord, George Lucas? What embarrassing finds will Uncle Todd share because he didn't read the description of the flick? Was 1999 truly one of the best years for movies in history?

After six weeks of thrills, chills, laser swords, and various fans losing their ever-loving minds about whether this was the worst thing in Star Wars ever or just the worst thing in the past year, the Obiwan Kenobi limited series is complete. Which poses the biggest question of them all... how did we do in predicting what would happen and what wouldn't?! We'll go through all of our parsing of interweb rumors and see which one of these idiots will come out on top.

We've been on quite a run of sequels in the recent years that pick up decades after the original and somehow manage to treat the subject matter with some delicacy and produce a decent movie. Will Top Gun: Maverick continue the tradition or will it drill a smoking crater somewhere in an unnamed country? Who knows, but it's gonna be fun to find out what the idiots had to say about this one!
Also, in The Week In Geek... we talk some Ghostbusters news as well all the injuries and other debacles currently happening in WWE and AEW.

That's right... WE SAID IT!
For all the venom and derision directed at Rian Johnson's foray into a galaxy far, far away, we happen to believe it's not only a GOOD Star Wars movie, but a GREAT one. So your humble idiotic hosts break down what The Last Jedi did right, what it did wrong, and lay out the case for why it deserves to be in the discussion as one of the top flicks in the franchise.
Also, in The Week In Geek... somehow, our Real or Jabroni picks have been vindicated, after a fashion ... news about a new animated Ghostbusters project and the sequel to Ghostbusters: Afterlife ... and our thoughts on episode four of Obi-Wan Kenobi along with reactions to fan complaints.
LINKS OF INTEREST:
- We may be idiots, but occasionally, we're right... Our Real or Jabroni picks have been vindicated! Twice!
- Do we really need a new Ghostbusters animated series and a sequel? YES!
