WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE AUDIO QUALITY.

CONTINUE TO PUT THE CHAPMAGNE DOWN. THIS IS STILL NOT GEEKDOWN 100. But your new BFFs are reunited around the table, which isn't Skype, so y'know, baby steps. In keeping with Geekdown tradition, we look at a pair of things that could not be more dissimilar, the recent Netflix live-action adaptation of the acclaimed manga "Erased," and the Marilyn Monroe classic, "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." We've also got lots of chit-chat, both inane and important, drop a news story or two, and share what we've been checking out including more Father Brown, returning favourites like Star Trek Discovery and The Good Place, and Jordan's poor time management in Persona 5.

As promised on last week's show, as an apology for not delivering Geekdown100 in a timely fashion, here's the first of the bonus episodes, recorded last year and originally only available to show Patrons. Cait gives Jordan some backgrounding on Dungeons and Dragons, and prepares him for the quest ahead. Thank for your patience friends, we appreciate it.

PUT THE CHAMPAGNE DOWN. THIS IS NOT EPISODE 100 OF THE GEEKDOWN. Due to a combination of illness and frigid weather, Jord and Cait were not able to meet in person this week, so they put the actual Geekdown100 on hold, which is really the most Geekdown thing they could have done. Instead, we give you a standard in-format ep, kicking off hashtag-comf-season with the BBC's adaptation of the Father Brown Mysteries by GK Chesterton, and Amazon's dramatic comedy 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,' fresh from its anointing at this week's Golden Globes. Also loads of chit chat, updates on what we've been watching and playing, and a long overdue implementation of a policy regarding dick towels.

The year was a hot pile of grrrrrrrbge, but there were still some things worth celebrating, so that's what we're doing.

It was a holiday ep, what do you want. Next up? Geekdown 100.

So Jordan got a PS4, which means nothing to most of you who consider yourselves gamers, but is a serious deal for him. He is filled with joy, and he chooses to share that joy with Cait and y'all.

Here at the Geekdown, we consume a lot of media. Sometimes, we really like what we've consumed, and would love to spend more time with it, but that content train never stops, and each week brings something new to check out. Because of that, sometimes we like to take a breath, step out of format, and revisit some of those things we liked, to see if they still hold up to our initial impressions. This is one of those weeks. Also this ep! Caitlin recovers, Jordan has many decisions to make, all the updates and good time hangs with your new BFFs in the typical Geekdown fashion.
