Episode 158 - That's Ducked Up!

Welcome to Episode 158 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, a splinter group of Geeks (Mitch and Matt Orrin) are joined by Evan Johnson at Aunt May's house, to discuss all things geek.

Matt Orrin saw Godzilla at a sneak preview, and then raced over to Aunt May's house to talk about it!  There shouldn't be any spoilers, though that depends on how sensitive you are.  Besides, what kind of spoilers could you really have in a monster film like that?  Just know that there are a lot of monsters shown, or mentioned in the movie!  The movie was fun and the Geeks talk about those kinds of movies, specifically about how big they must be.  For example, how big is King in his movies?  Turns out, he has been different sizes in all of the different iterations but we feel if he will face Godzilla in the future, he'd need to be at least 180 ft, or 60 meters.  

Duck Tales continues to impress and the last episode is no exception to that.  It is a Darkwing Duck origin story, but it combines many important elements to it.  Struggling aging actor trying to stay relevant in the role that made him, needing control over all aspects of the character and having a hard time adapting to change.  In all honesty, this episode deserves to win writing awards because it is incredibly well done!  If you haven't seen any other episodes, you should at least watch this episode and you'll be glad you did.

Netflix.  Can it survive the storm that Disney+ will bring with it?  Let's hope because their content has been real great, and we discuss some of their offerings such as Umbrella Academy and Tuca & Bertie.  With their acquisition of at least one movie theater, and maybe more in the future, they can set themselves up nicely to still exist in the Disney apocalypse. What kind of seating would they have in their theaters?  Did you know that a theater in Sweden has all beds that you can watch movies from?  Would you fall asleep?  Of course, this topic gets discussed.

After Doom Patrol (of course!), we shift to a story about a man and his dog...or multiple dogs!  That's right, we're talking about John Wick which might be a favorite Keanu Reeves movie!  We talk about our favorite movies of his, and there are so many to choose from! What is your favorite?
