Episode 151: Remembering Carl Weathers

Thursday Feb 08, 2024

Last week, we lost one of the titans of Hollywood. He was the perfect foil for the ultimate underdog, an action star, delivered dramatic gravitas, and had comedic timing to boot. He was an acting five tool player - with a million dollar smile. In this episode, we go back over some highlights from his career and pay tribute in our own idiotic way.

Also, we dive into the fallout from the Royal Rumble - injuries and booking changes and flashy returns that no one seems too happy about - in this episode's The Week In Geek!

Episode 149: Beyond The Red Line - Fantasy Booking The BSG Reboot

Friday Jan 26, 2024

It's been damn near five years since news first broke that Sam Esmail would be rebooting Battlestar Galactica as the centerpiece of the new Peacock streaming service. All these years later, and the only thing Sammy has managed to do is go through two showrunners and say they have a vague outline. We find this unacceptable.

So we're stepping in to give our thoughts on how we'd reboot BSG (even though we really don't want to) and see if we can't make some sort of coherent plan out of the scraps that have been given thus far (spoiler: not a whole lot).

Also, we have one last intrusion of The Man They Call Tim's fake football team, an interesting story about Geddy Lee and Robert Plant, and wondering where Vision got to in the MCU in this episode's The Week In Geek!
