Episode 135 - Mary Ponzi Scheme

Welcome to Episode 135 of Broadcast Geeks! On this podcast we discuss all things geek and nerd related, provided our DVR’s have space and our Netflix accounts are our own and none others.  This week the Geeks (Mitch, Jeff, Nate, Jake and Matt Orrin) are joined by Monica Nevi, a comic and film maker based out of Los Angeles, at the Sexpot Comedy Studios located above the awesome Mutiny Information Cafe for another packed episode of geeky goodness.  

Monica, much like Jeff, is a big basketball fan so we talked a lot about the NBA and the WNBA.  We talked about the greatness of old teams, the movement of teams like the Seattle Supersonics, and her documentary webseries 80 for 80. On it, she interviews octogenarians with sports related questions.   Well, you can't talk about sports, like basketball, without mentioning Space Jam.  Monica shared her favorite line from that movie, which involved a conversation between Bill Murray and Michael Jordan.  Could we see more basketball related movies, or TV shows?  Maybe we could get a new channel, such as The CWNBA?  

Daredevil season 3 has been released on Netflix and the man with no fear definitely doesn't disappoint this time around, neither does Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk.  This all happened at the same time that Netflix dropped Iron Fist, and Luke Cage, from their roster of shows.  The last came as a surprise to all, and we throw our thoughts out on why this happened.  Is it because of Disney releasing their own streaming service in the near future?  Does it have to do with ratings?  Listen to find out.

Matt Orrin just got back from the Telluride Horror Show, a horror film festival set in one of the most beautiful parts of Colorado, and talks about the fun times he had.  He met Stephen Chiodo, director of Killer Klowns from Outer Space, and even hung out with him over the weekend.  They were Festies!  There were a lot of fun, and some scary, movies at the fest and they talked about one call Mega Time Squad, which allows a person with the cursed amulet to create a copy of himself and go back in time.  Not exactly like Madrox, the Multiple Man, but that led to interesting conversations about him.  How many copies can he make of himself, and does he lose strength and power with each copy?  If you could copy yourself, how many would YOU need to get through each day?  We put the magic number at around 3-4 copies.  

We finish up with the regular topics, such as CW shows, comic books, new movies, and Clint Howard.  We also talk about the new Halloween movie, which Nate saw and enjoyed.  He talks about it but there are no big spoilers.
