Geekdown Podcast

Opportune June rolls on with hosts' choice, as Cait and Jord revisit the meta anime Re:Creators and the space opera The Expanse, two shows they really liked but fell by the wayside years ago. Did they continue to keep our interest? We shall see. Also this ep! The North triumphs, ThinkGeek shuts down, the financial benefits of staying in haunted hotels and more, including updates on what we've been watching including Good Omens and The Black Godfather.

We commence our latest theme month this week with the arrival of Opportune June! For the next four weeks we've decided to revisit some of the things we've brought each other on the show over the last three years, free from the grind of the weekly content mill. And what better way to kick it off than by forcing each other to spend more time with shows we've been vocally ambivalent about, Avatar the Last Airbender and Revolutionary Girl Utena. Have our takes cooled over the years? We'll find out together. Also this ep! So much to talk about including Anime North, a monumental development in Jordan's life, the highs and lows of Waifu World, and all the things we've been watching including Good Omens, Fleabag, I Think You Should Leave and more.

Caitlin went to Anime North! And we'll hear all about it next week. For now, it's culinary adventuring for Captain Poor Brain, Amazon irritations and a surprising discussion of the Venom, the Marvel movie no one asked for. Next week marks the start of our latest theme-month brain child: Opportune June! A chance for us to return to things we liked but haven't found the time to revisit, and a chance to force each other to keep watching something we weren't crazy about. It's sure to be...something.

A gunfire filled double feature on the pod this week as Jord and Cait revisit the first John Wick in anticipation of the third, and look back at one of the franchise's influences, the work of Hong Kong Director John Woo with his film Hard Boiled. There's also a fair bit of talk on the legacy of Game of Thrones, grandpa gets a new phone, Batman gets sparkly and a fight about Star Trek. If you're headed to Anime North 2019 this weekend, check for your girl Caity Mac at the Brightshield Games booth and say hey!

Cait returns from her trip through Real America(TM) to join Jordan for a chat about a sleeper of the Spring 19 Anime Season, Hitori Bocchino Marumaru Seikatsu, and the Russo Bros first swing at an Avengers movie, Captain America: Civil War. There will be a couple of Endgame details in there as well, listener beware. We also talk about Cait's trip, the continued problems with the take economy, another of Jordan's existential crises, and what we've been watching including Street Foods on Netflix, Star Trek: Discovery, Carole & Tuesday and Sarazanmai.

Believe it or not, we still had things to talk about after last week's chunky episode. This time out we struggle against our worst impulses after the Cowboy Bebop casting announcements, process yet another pile of Star Wars news and general Disney+ announcements, Cait wants to know what happened at Wrestlemania 35, we touch on things we've been watching including Sabrina and Ainori, and check out Jordan Peele's Twilight Zone reboot.

Crawling our way back from illness-induced hiatus, your new BFF's return with a monster of an episode, catching you up on all the things we've been watching and doing the last three weeks. Medieval Times! Perfume live in Toronto! Record Store Day! Road trips! Special Appearance by Petey Pablo! It's all here! And we also talk about a pair of Netflix gems, the comedic puzzle box Russian Doll and music doc The Two Killings of Sam Cooke. Thanks for your patience during our absence, friends!

BABIES WILL FIX EVERYTHING. At least that's what the 2016 anime Poco's Udon World and the 2007 film Waitress would have us believe. We were buying? Answers await. Also this ep! Jordan's going to Medieval Times, Amazon answers Caitlin's prayers, QUEEN SZN is almost here and more.

Geekdown Comic Club reconvenes as we peer into some neglected corners of the Marvel Universe, first with the 2016 edition of Moon Knight, followed by the celebration and satirization of "Weird Marvel" known as Nextwave. We'll also talk about the Endgame trailer and some other news bits but who cares, this show is only a "Romance is a Bonus Book" recap pod now.

Surprise to no one, there's lots of Captain Marvel chat this ep, but the spoilery-est parts are from 5:00 - 15:55. Also surprise to no one, we watched the Pixar movie 'Cars' and Korean drama 'Romance is a Bonus Book.' We also checked in on the road to Wrestlemania, updated on our gaming habits and took our weekly tip to Waifu World.

When one of the hosts hands in a manuscript on a Friday, it doesn't leave a lot of time to watch things before recording on Sunday. So you know what that means! Chit Chat Ep! It's been three weeks since your New BFFs were at the table together. There are a lot of things you can consume in three weeks, and we talk about them all and then some, including flaming hot Pixar takes, justice for De La Soul and a check-in on Waifu World.

Jordan is exhausted and should be doing other things, but we still give you your precious content! This week we check out the vintage anime noir The Big O and the love letter to 60s Batman, Return of the Caped Crusaders. How'd that go? Why don't you listen! Also! White men failing up, Wicked goes cinematic and comfy porn. All the things you expect from this show.

Your new BFFs return to it again to check out Cait's comfort food "Forensic Files" and the documentary about the disastrous music festival that never was, "Fyre." How does someone who's great at planning like watching people who are terrible at it? We will find out. Also this ep: Netflix continues to rule our lives (for now), and a meandering chat about the Green Bay packers, video game streaming, panic procrastination and Jordan's lowkey concern he's becoming a sociopath.

Another light and tight one this week as your new BFFs check out Shirobako, or: Anime the Anime, and Netflix's all-ages animated offering HIlda. Jordan also lets Caitlin know all the reasons we still don't have Borderlands 3, Cait gets musical, and another no-stakes dispute between the hosts. It's honeycrisp apples all over again.

Our numbers show the people like it when we dig into anime, so we're checking out one of the Winter 2019 breakaways, the sci-fi suspense show The Promised Neverland. Will it continue to maintain the high standard set by the Noitamina block? We shall see. Also this ep! DC continues its outreach to younger readers, Jordan is the last person to know Bob's Burgers came off Netflix, and updates on what we've been watching and listening to including Steven Universe, Crimetown, Black Thought on What's Good and the majesty of Pornhub comment threads.

A very musical episode of the show this week as we check out the Netflix documentary series "Hip-Hop Evolution" and the classic art house musical "Hedwig and the Angry Inch." We also discuss an awkward week for anime fandom, the Spider-Man Far From Home trailer, updates on what we've been watching and proper nudie bar etiquette. Y'know, typical Geekdown.

Back from a restful holiday break, your new BFFs return to catch you up on all the content they stuffed in their faces, discuss the merits of the KonMari method and check out the interactive Black Mirror episode "Bandersnatch."

Between episodes in format, Watch-O-Ramas and Crapathons, your new BFFs consumed over 70 pieces of content this year! Which selections stayed with us long after the episode ended? What selections could we not throw in the trash quickly enough? Is milk a neutral? All these questions and more will be answered in the next 45 minutes on the Geekdown 2018 Lookback. Thanks for hanging, friends. Thank you for your continued support (either via patreon.com/geekdownpod, ko-fi.com/geekdownpod, or just by listening) and we'll be back to format next week.

From the 'Seemed Like a Good Idea at The Time' file, it's the Geekdown Clip Show! A selection of highlights from the first 100 or so episodes of the show. Why just the first 100? Because Jordan is lazy, and didn't realize how labour intensive this would be. So this is what you get. It's probably a good representation of what this show has become in the last couple of years, and reveals the origins of some recurring bits you may have forgotten about (yes, the evolution of Chauncey is here).
