Episode 144 - Taste the Rainbow, MFer!

Welcome to Episode 144 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 small subset of Geeks (Mitch, Nate and Matt Orrin) are joined by Evan Johnson, back in the remains of the Comedy Room Room for another packed episode of geeky goodness.  

It looks like Thanos might have finally gotten to us, as only half of the Geeks were present but that void was well filled by the shoes, and Trenchcoat, of Evan Johnson (aka Constantine).  He shared any insight he had with us on all kinds of topics, even with the Flash.  How does Flash age?  If he is moving normally when everyone isn't, would he live for a long time or does that take a toll on his body and age him quicker?  We discussed Flash because the show is back on CW, and it hit the ground running.  Some of us think Nora needs to leave the show, as she is "slowing" it down.  Her arc continues, however.  

Next on to the new Spiderman trailer...didn't we just get a Spidey movie?  Well, Far From Home comes out in a few months and what a trailer it was!  We see Mysterio, which makes us wonder what his powers are in this movie.  Are they all just F/X or can he actually DO the things we saw in the trailer?  Also, where does this movie take place with regards to Avengers: End Game?  We float a theory that it takes place DURING that movie, possibly in an altered reality.  We'll have to wait and see. 

We can't go an episode without talking DCU, and this time we're still talking about Young Justice: Outsiders.  The show is adding a lot of characters and story, but it looks like they have converged to a nice plot point.  The show is getting pretty dark, with one character getting beheaded, though they don't exactly show that detail as it happens but they do show the aftermath.  They also show Halo practically get gutted, but her healing factor kicks in.  Halo seems a bit OP, but does a good job of representation in characters.  Stay tuned for the MAIN MAN to show in ep. 9 of the show.  

After a bit of Punisher, we talk about Fyre Festival which was a "high end" festival catered to rich millennials and internet influencers...and pigs!  Mitch tells us about two documentaries, one on Hulu and the other Netflix, regarding this fiasco of a festival that had many of us laughing at how bad things went for attendees and organizers...and pigs!  There were so many things that happened, or didn't happen, that make you question how this whole thing was even considered.  There were also pigs!  Watch them to see how the shitstorm unfolded.
