Episode 145 - Road to Nerdition

Welcome to Episode 145 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, Nate, Jake and Matt Orrin) are joined by Evan Johnson & Reese Jenniges, back in the remains of El Charrito for another packed episode of geeky goodness.  

First off this week is Young Justice: Outsiders.  This show, though filled with more characters than necessary, is great and is another reason why all geeks should have the DCU streaming service.  It is great seeing all your favorite, and somewhat obscure, characters get time but it is also cool to see some of the newer, less known characters such as Halo.  She is a bit OP though, as it seems that she is getting new powers daily!  This made us wonder if maybe she will become a multi-colored Lantern.  Do they even exist?  The action on the show is pretty solid, especially when Batman infiltrates Santa Prisca island with the Outsiders.

We jumped to Netflix next to talk about the Marvel properties, specifically Daredevil S3 and Punisher S2.  Reese got caught up on a bunch of the shows, but we all agree that it doesn't get much better then S3 of DD, from multiple aspects.  The fight scenes are top notch, as is the characters, but Vincent D'Onofrio steals it all with his Kingpin.  We'd love a show just about him, told from his perspective.  We'd talked about how relatable Punisher can be, and his second season.  Did you think it was as good as S1?

Mitch tells us the results from the online Magic poll, with the results being debatable.  Is it JUST magic, or it is Science that we haven't been able to describe yet.  Listen to some of us fight it out...verbally. 

We jump into Disney, and the announcement of a rated R Black Widow movie.  An R rated Disney movie!?!?  Could this set a precedent for future Marvel movies?  Let's hope!
