What? Stop the music! There is one chair, and
only one person can be in that chair. And that
person is... You! I'm telling my brother! You're
the new king. I cannot think of a more horrible
ending than... Look at this, Nettie baby! Now
fetch me a cushion for my royal bottom. This
chair is not comfy at all. Yes, your fuzzy grace.
And bring a sweater! I think winter is coming!
Welcome to alter geek episode 151. We got to
catch them all not really but um, so Joining
me this episode and yes, it's kind of a surprise
being that uh The last episode I said we wouldn't
be doing anymore for the rest of the episode
or the rest of the month But uh, I since man
did it and they threatened us So we had to yeah,
we had to give a new episode. They were praising
me with kindness and I couldn't resist Yes Praises
with donations, please. That's that's a good
way to get you know, we got one guy over an ATTF
That's today anytime we put out a new episode.
He'll donate money. So there's that but um We
weren't threatened we were praised and we thank
you very very much for that definitely appreciate
it taking with us for this long and Tributing
your comments and suggestions to the show because
we always enjoy it so the rest of the month I
figured rather than not do episodes because I'm
also itching to record. Even though I'm trying
to take a vacation, take it easy, not working
out too well for me yet. Nope. So I figured what
we could do is shorter episodes with a more laser
focused topic for the remainder of the month
so that in essence you get an episode, but it's
not super long, but it's... So it's not taxing
on me. But it's, you know, it's still like a
vacation. So these are probably going to be about
like, you know, 30 minute episodes at most. So
I asked on Twitter using the alt at alter geek
Twitter handle and mine at SCP 21 a couple of
questions. And I've got a few more cycling out
that'll come through. later in the day, and we're
recording this on Wednesday, so this will be
out on Friday like normal. So I asked the question
of if you could pick 10 shows of current television
to still watch, what would they be? Because at
present, I was watching like 24 different shows.
So what would yours be, sir? Oh God, 10 shows?
um okay it the the top three are easy flash supergirl
and legends um the catch from abc that shows
awesome shades of blue from mbc that shows awesome
so that's five uh trying to think the rest um
yeah i don't know off the top of my head so at
least i have five I don't. I will say I've been
in my downtime checking out some different shows
on Netflix between documentaries and I just started
watching Limitless. Oh, cool. Which was kind
of a spur of the moment thing. I was doing the
new GCRN rating scale. Right. The other night
and I watched Four episodes of Limitless? In
a row? Too bad that show got cancelled, I think,
but yeah. I think it did, yeah. Look that up.
I wonder if it did. It's still acting like it's...
I could have sworn I heard it got cancelled,
but I don't know. I don't know. But I don't...
I don't know. It had 22 episodes, that's all
I know. Yeah. You got through four of them in
one night. That's good. More than I thought it
was going to get. It says they're still discussing
it. Oh, yeah, it says it's been canceled after
one season. I knew I heard that that got canceled.
Bummer, because it was actually pretty good.
The acting on it was good. The story was good.
Yeah, I mean, at least there's not more than
a one season commitment for me. Yeah, I have
to worry about it's a one and done so I don't
have to worry about it But yeah, some of the
responses we got I'll give mine in a minute but
um Dan movie revolt hosted and These are in I'm
starting at number 10. He's got the Americans
Brooklyn 99 V Sherlock Game of Thrones daredevil
stranger things Silicon Valley mr. Robot and
last week tonight Okay, yeah, I mr. Robots also
on my list. I just haven't had a chance to catch
up with it But that show when I watched like
the first season of it Think the only thing I
kind of didn't catch was it was some weird airing
thing on USA something happened where It got
moved from its regular slot to like a 3 a .m.
Saturday morning thing to just air it and I just
kind of missed it So I kind of missed out on
seeing the whole season finale of season one
for mr. Robot But I had seen like the first eight
episodes of it and that show That's a show that
you No one has ever seen that show is just amazing
That show is just awesome and amazing and really,
really cool. You would probably like it because
it's like technology, it's like pro technology
versus anti -technology and it's like, you know,
big corporation versus everybody, you know, everybody
wanting to be free, that kind of thing. It's
really, really cool. Yeah. I mean, I've seen
part of one of them and that was because somebody
covered it in one of my classes. Right pick something
to analyze which when they did that I think I
we did like I think we did Sherlock Holmes game
of shadows when they did that but um Because
I opted for a film make it difficult I Out of
those shows the only one that I've Because I've
tried Silicon Valley couldn't get into it tried
Daredevil couldn't get into it Stranger Things.
I don't know anything about it. It's it's brand
new on Netflix It's I don't know too much about
it myself. So but it just came out on Netflix.
I think a week Before three or four days before
this episode went up or whatever. So Yeah, I
mean I've seen it floating around for the last
like week or so, but um, yeah, I don't like it
said I don't know anything about it It looks
like number of episodes so far is eight. But
I don't really get into the whole drama horror
type thing, so that's probably not me. And then
The Game of Thrones, I have no interest in. Sherlock,
it's a British show, so I have a hard time with
it. But I don't know, I haven't tried that one,
and I probably will just because I like the Downey
Jr. ones. I and I would for the season so I know
that that usually means something better Yeah,
I'd like I've seen that I've seen the first two
full seasons of the Americans I haven't caught
up on season three or season four of the Americans,
but that show I Remember when that show was getting
ready to premiere and debut on FX It was like,
hey, go back to the 1980s, the early 1980s, and
relive the Cold War and spies and Russian spies
in America. And that show just grabbed me. Plus,
it's got Kerry Russell, just essentially Felicity
from Felicity. And just absolutely, the first
two seasons of that show are just so solid. I
just wish it was somewhere on streaming that
it isn't. Other than like the FX Now or the Fox
Now, like the specific Fox streaming stuff, it's
not on Net... The whole seasons aren't on Netflix
or Hulu to my knowledge, but that show might
be something you could be interested in. The
two I suggest for you is The Catch and Shades
of Blue. The Catch is only ten episodes for the
first season. They did get a second season pickup,
but we don't even know how many episodes they're
gonna get. Are they police 30 girls? The catch
it's a The shades of blue is yes, but shades
of blue is more like what if goodfellas were
cops So imagine the movie goodfellas except.
They're they're bad cops instead of gangsters
Because it's got Ray Liotta in it But the catch
is more of a cat -and -mouse game between a con
man and a bounty a female bounty hunter She's
not a bounty hunter, she's a private investigator,
I should say. It's really fun. The catch was
super fun, and it has just so many twists and
turns, it was really good. Who's next on the
list? Well, we've got Scanner 51. He put on his
list, and I'm just reading them in order of how
he has them listed, he put arrow. Legends, The
Flash, Supergirl, iZombie, Elementary, Preacher,
Deadliest Catch, and then that's all you could
come up with at the time. Yeah, Deadliest Catch,
that's that fishing show on one of those Discovery
channels, I think. I'm surprised he didn't put
Girl Meets World, because he's always messaging
us about Girl Meets World. I think he just forgot.
Probably, yeah. And then DJ put in there, and
he's got his list, and he put Mr. Robot, Daredevil,
Game of Thrones, Veep, Stranger Things, Sherlock,
Luther, The Flash, The Night Of, and then Jessica
Jones. Oh, cool, cool. Yeah, all good stuff.
Yeah, DJ, he loves Mr. Robot. He just absolutely
loves that show that's his number one show so
according to When I've talked to him as far as
what he's told me about it, so Yeah, so what
about you? What would your your list be um? Going
down in in order of ten to one I'm putting I
got Because I have It's hard to whittle down
from 24 shows down to And then I've got to whittle
it down again to 10 And this is before the new
season new fall season of shows that are starting
up right because I have an entirely different
list of New shows that are starting that I want
to get into And I'm probably going to watch those
over the established ones only for the fact that
I want them to get picked up again. When they
get going. Right. So I'm going to go. Difficult.
I enjoy. I got Girl Meets World. I got Impractical
Jokers. Big Bang 3, Last Man Standing, Gotham,
Arrow, Supernatural, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl,
and The Flash. And then some of my other shows
that aren't on there, like Who's Line and stuff
like that. Right. Because that's a given. I've
been watching that since the 80s version, but
obviously reruns from the 80s ones. So yeah,
the whole Game of Thrones thing. Yeah, I'm It's
ending anyway, so I don't really feel bad for
missing it. It's not even that I don't want to
not see it It has nothing to do with the actual
shows content I'm just not gonna sit here and
pay for HBO go and I know they have a bunch of
other stuff on their service But I'm not gonna
sit here and pay for a streaming service just
to see one television show. Well, what's funny
is Comcast wherever they have that they give
away HBO So wherever you're at you can actually
Because they give you your local channels and
then HBO and then your internet and that's with
any internet package they give you that so I
could watch it, I just use Natu because I don't
really like anything that's on that channel.
The only thing that I absolutely love, and it's
because I have so many friends on Twitter and
Facebook that always talk about Game of Thrones,
specifically my podcasting sister, Lady Rack.
She does the gem stuff with me and she does some
other Transformers stuff on the pull bag. She
was constantly using the hashtag winter is coming
winter is coming and I saw this I'll just see
if I can find the video again It was on Facebook.
It was a Sesame Street thing leaders did a parody
of Game of Thrones called Game of Chairs and
That's about as close to Game of Thrones that
I come It's hilarious I'll have to show it to
you It was just so it doesn't even matter if
you haven't even seen the show you still get
the jokes because it's it's Sesame Street, so
Nice So yeah Just a couple of these shows. I'm
looking forward to in the fall lethal. Yeah prison
break and Star Trek discovery It's an STD folks.
Nobody wants one of those. Nope Yeah, it could
be worse hot rod in the matrix. Just go listen
to the CF TM commenters Well, I had to cross
promote give people a reason to listen Oh, there's
plenty of listen to plenty to listen to in the
30th anniversary TF TM DVD commentary Yep, it's
you DJ on there. Yeah me and DJ Valentine from
simplistic reviews. So the other thing That was
brought up Yes was I asked the question of The
Movie what is it? What superhero film are you
looking forward to the most next year? Which
ones are coming out next year because I don't
remember off the top of my head all of them No,
I think the Wolverine movie I think got Thor
We've got Wonder Woman, Justice League, Guardians.
Is Wonder Woman and Justice League coming out
in the same year, or is Justice League 2018?
Justice League is coming out in the summer. One
is in summer, one is in November. I just can't
remember which one. Alright, because I could
have sworn Justice League's trailer said 2018,
but I could be wrong. No, I'm pretty they're
both next year Yeah, like I said, I could be
wrong Yeah, it's it's coming out 2017. It's just
I'm trying to figure out when they're coming
out. I think and then I think we've got the next
Star Wars movie next year Yeah, you're right.
It is 2017. Yeah, it's the November film in 2017
Yeah, we got rogue one Yeah, I'm really looking
forward to rogue one because that is something
that's going back to the original trilogy without
really going back. It's doing this without having
to sit here and make a remake of Star Wars Episode
IV. They're going back and kind of playing around
with the things and to tell a new unique story.
I'm really looking forward to Rogue One. I'll
give it the benefit of the doubt, but I don't
really care about any of the in -between films.
I just want to see the numbered ones of 7, 8,
9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14. I don't care about any
of the solo flicks. I will see them. I just don't
particularly care for them. But yeah, it's November
that Justice League comes out and Wonder Woman
comes out in July. July yeah, so so we will have
that So anyways Base note on Twitter says Lego
Batman for next year Yeah, I forgot about that
one until he said that but I'm looking forward
to that because it looked really good And then
scanner 51 says Justice League and Wonder Woman
and that's it. Is it just to F Marvel? I don't
know, Thor, Ragnarok, or Ragnarok, or whatever
it's supposed to be called. I don't know, whatever.
I was never really impressed with the first two
Thor movies, so maybe because this one is supposedly
gonna have Hulk in it, Bruce Banner Hulk. You
know, maybe I'll... Yeah, well, I never really
cared for Loki as a villain just Loki in general
folks has nothing to do with Tom Hiddleston's
acting or whatever because I know they're but
you know Heaven forbid we get a bunch of screaming
fangirls on the internet me. You don't like Tom
Hiddleston. That's not what I said I just don't
care for the character of Loki. Whatever He's
the only decent villain we've got in the entire
Marvel Cinematic Universe Whiplash was misused
in Iron Man 2, but yeah. He's the only one that
was used properly and that was because of the
first Avengers movie. Yeah, I can agree with
that. Even in the box, he was still wreaking
havoc. Yeah, I don't know. I mean Marvel just...
I don't know. It goes back to the same thing
we've been saying the last three years, or the
same thing I've been saying the last three years
on this show. One company excels on television
and kind of flops on film and vice versa. I think
DC, with them learning from the biggest mistake
they've ever done in BVS and learning from the
smaller mistakes that were made in Suicide Squad,
I think they're making Wonder Woman and Justice
League to be better films. Who knows I don't
know So I've got a list of movies that come out
next year So I'm looking forward to episode 8
Yeah, there's a new spider -man movie coming
out next year Homecoming yeah, I'm looking forward
to that because I want to see what Marvel and
Sony do with it right Then I'm looking forward
to Wonder Woman. There's the new Pirates of the
Caribbean next year, which I'm I'm going to watch
it because it's one of those die -hard movies
that I just did some fun, shut my brain off movie.
Just don't take five years to do an M .Y .R.
episode on it. Yeah. Good dig there. So there's
still a rag rack, which I'll see because it's
got Hulk in it. There's Guardians 2. Yeah, Guardians
2. It's a new alien movie. I was never a fan
of the Alien franchise. I'm interested in it.
Then we got the Wolverine movie. Right. There's
the Transformers movie, which meh. Despicable
Me 3. Yay! The Kingsman, which I'm really looking
forward to because I like the first one. Yeah,
that one's pretty cool. They got Cars 3, which
I'd rather not. I only want to see that just
to see what what they're gonna do it's been so
long between two and three so I don't know how
I don't know what kind of stuff yeah I'm kind
of looking forward to that one but just because
I like the other ones already so what else yeah
you know of course we got there's another Planet
of the Apes another underworld another we got
power Rangers Got the new mummy right which I
any of those like I don't really care all that
much but I think we got the new Resident Evil
coming Yeah, I've seen trailers or teasers for
that. I've never been a Resident Evil fan, so
I like the movies It's taking four years to do
the last one It's just crazy. So yeah, those
are some of my films that I'm looking forward
to. But we were asked a question, and then after
that we'll cut it short. But Scanner 51 says,
anyways, with the Olympics going on, are we watching
it? If yes, a favorite event that we have. I
don't watch it, but that's because I'm not a
sports fan. It's not that I'm not a sports fan.
It's I don't have television and I have plenty
of other things on Netflix and Hulu that keep
me busy like I hear about it in the news and
that kind of stuff, but I the Olympics well They
are awesome. I kind of that's a phase of watching
those that I kind of grew out of when I was like
17 Like it just, you know, after the 1996 Olympics
in Atlanta, I'm like, okay, cool. I saw it in
my home country. That's great. You know, it's
fun for everybody else. And I've always been
more of a fan of the winter Olympics than the
summer Olympics. So maybe once the winter ones
come back, what is it? Four years or two years
or however the hell long it takes, you know,
maybe once the next winter Olympics happens,
you know, I'll be more excited because I like
the winter events more than the summer events.
So. Yeah, I'm not one that pays attention to
it at all. So it's not, yeah, I just, I don't,
it's not that I don't want to care about it.
It's just, I don't, it's not something that speaks
to me. So I just don't, I don't pay attention
to it. Yeah. So other than that, yeah, Dan was
surprised. We liked the Justice League trailer,
which you can see our responses on the 150 post.
And then, so yeah, about rounds it out. We'll
do another short one which will come out next
week. Probably do that later this week when the
other questions have dropped. Absolutely. So
how do you want to close this one out? We could
go the old -fashioned route. Get altered, get
