Episode 159 - That’s a Bat Idea

Welcome to Episode 159 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 (Jeff, Jake, Nate, Mitch and Matt Orrin) are back in the Quantum Realm to discuss all things geek.

Denver Pop Culture Con (formerly Denver Comic Con) has just ended and Matt Orrin talks about some of the finer moments for him, such as seeing Dave Bautista, Tom Wilson, and Christopher Lloyd.  The panels were fun and informative!  We moved on to DC and started talking all kinds of news, such as Robert "shimmery vampire" Pattinson as the new Dark Knight.  Hopefully, this one doesn't sparkle at night!  Are they gonna start to connect DC properties to the DCU?  This could help change the way actors take jobs and their contracts.  Speaking of which, Swamp Thing got cancelled ONE WEEK after it premiered.  Can you believe that?  We don't know why but there is lots of false rumors spreading around. 

Good Omens is on Amazon and its hot!  David Tennant is wonderful as Crowley and the interaction between him and Aziraphale, played by Michael Sheen, is delightful.  If you aren't familiar with this book/show, check out both.  You won't be disappointed.  This leads us into talks about all of the streaming services available and their content.  Who will survive the streaming service wars?

Again, the Darkwing Duck origin episode of Duck Tales is discussed and it is STILL fabulous!  Seriously, you'd be hard pressed to find a better written show.  And then, much like our normal way of doing things we switch over to cars.  Why?  Well, some geeks love cards and Jake loves Fords.  Whats your favorite Ford?
