Geekdown

Opportune June draws to a close with a revisit of one of the best things we've checked out this year, the Old West martial arts epic "Warrior." Spoiler: It's still amazing and you should all be watching it.

Also this ep, your new BFFs have so many things to be excited about, including the trailer for "The Harder They Fall", new Perfume music, the return of Clone High and more.

Episode 249: Sailor Moon Eternal

Cinematic September continues with the anime teen romance "Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop," a film that seduced Jordan in with its visual style and city pop references. Was it a worthy successor to the classics like "Your Name" and "A Silent Voice"? We shall see.

Episode 288: The Sandman

It's hard to believe in nearly five years we've never talked about a core Star Trek show on this podcast, so August WacthOrama seemed like an ideal time to look at what some are calling a return to everything that makes the franchise great, Strange New Worlds. We also talk about the seismic shifts happening in wrestling and D&D, fanboys review bombing She-Hulk, as well as everything we've been checking out including Arcane, wrapping Ms Marvel and Sandman, Penance, the Woodstock '99 doc Trainwreck and more.

Episode 289: Strange New Worlds

This week on August WatchOrama we check out the Amazon adaptation of "Paper Girls," a comic we both enjoyed when we read it but never returned to finish. The show seems to be lost in the content seas this summer, should it move up your watchlist?

Also this ep!  Lots of talk about Neil Gaiman's media junket for Sandman, Black Mirror returns, Spy x Family is crushing the publishing industry, and updates to what we've been enjoying including She-Hulk, Lightyear, Lower Decks, Owl House S2, Yakuza: Like a Dragon and Bluey continues to change lives.

Episode 290: Paper Girls 2022

This is now how we thought we'd wrap up August WatchOrama for the year, friends, but the disco demanded it of us and we are powerless to resist its sway, so we're setting sail for Westeros again to check out HBO's big swing, the Game of Thrones prequel series 'House of the Dragon.' Woof.

We also talk about the meltdown of All Elite Wrestling, LotR getting review bombed, the irritating emergence of horror fishing as a gaming genre, and everything we've been checking out including McDonald & Dodds, Vera, She-Hulk, Junji Ito's latest, Extraordinary Attorney Woo and more.

Episode 291: House of the Dragon

Cinematic September arrives and Jordan insisted on watching an 80s cable classic, the noir comedy "Throw Momma From the Train." Because apparently he doesn't care about keeping our subscriber numbers up.

Also this ep! Chuds gonna chud, Caitlin is confused by Hollywood's priorities, a lot of talk about fried chicken and all the things we've been checking out including your usuals (She-Hulk, LotR, Attorney Woo) and a couple new additions like a return engagement from the Kids in the Hall and the standup of Mo Amer and Sheng Wang. Happy birthday, Cait.

Episode 292: Throw Momma From the Train

Caitlin takes the wheel for this week's Cinematic September outing, and once again unearths a gem Jordan never knew existed, the dark teen romance Spontaneous. At least we think it's a teen romance? Maybe a comedy? An alleghory?  We'll get into it.

Episode 114: Mad Max Fury Road and Megalo Box

This week on the show, we examine if Netflix's latest offering "Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts" can stand out in a crowded field of stellar all-ages animated fare (38:15).

We also get the secret origins of Cait and Senior Correspondent (4:50), trip planning at home and abroad, (7:46) and updates on what we've been checking out, which this time are books!  Can you even believe it?

Next week!  Geekdown Comic Club is up, we'll be reading Ex Machina by Brian K. Vaughan and Tony Harris, and Skyward by Joe Henderson and Lee Garbett. Read 'em with us!

Episode 188: Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts

Jordan likes superheroes and giant robots. Caitlin likes tabletop games and Dr. Who.

Once a week they sit in front of microphones and try to bridge that that gap.
