Geeking Off 138: Hard Science, Soft Fiction

After a quick review of Guardians of the Galaxy (long overdue), we went into a lengthy discussion on the span of squishiness within the science fiction genre. Pretty much the point of sci-fi's existence between the scientific and escapism.

Stay tuned to the end where we stuck in a long outtake of some of Jeremy's recent filmmaking experiences as well as recent TV watching. The usual stuff.

Geeking Off 137: Summer Screens

Obviously this was recorded a few weeks ago. Again, we speak of Guardians of the Galaxy in the future tense.

In the meantime though, this is our conversation of summer TV we're catching up (mostly Zo) and a few impressions on Summer movies. One of us feels the summer movie season "blows." Listen to find out who! Okay fine. That's not a super fun reason to listen. Still, quite a bit about Jodorowskys Dune in there.

Apologies for the hot mics. Our engineer is now sacked.

Geeking Off 136: The Geeks Inherited Too Much Earth

Welcome back!

This was a hodgy-podgy one. More than usual. We opened things up with the return of the imdb trivia game, then briefly discussed planning to see the best documentaries available on Netflix. We got into a short (I was hoping for longer) discussion on whether geek culture has overstayed its welcome and the possibility of its popularity going away. The conversation then went to speaking of various cons, followed by movie trailers and of course we wrapped it up with some work to the Geeking Off Flickchart.

Special note. Obviously this was recorded before Guardians of the Galaxy came out. Perhaps you'll find it downright quaint how we talk about it in future tense. I still stand by much of what I predicted. It's almost like Guardians is this generation's Goonies.
