Altered Geek
Renovations, Gotham Casting, and CW Cancellations

About this Episode
Hi, this is Dan Gilbazan, and you're listening
to the Deepcast Radio Network. another edition
of Altered Geek Unlimited. I'm your host, Steve
Megatron Phillips, and joining me is... JFU and
Mike, hello. Yo. Yes, this week's Altered Geek
is brought to you by More Robotic Voices. No,
no it's not. Yes, yes it is. Because you sound
like you're talking like a robot. You want to
fill in everybody on how you're even here this
week. I am here via Skype from my phone. 4G because
I have no internet yet. Yay. Yeah, thankfully
the only thing that works on Sprint is their
4G where I live. Wow. Yeah. So. So I guess this
week I am Al Borland and you are the Tim the
Toolman Taylor, right? Well, the funny thing
is I've been working at my house, yeah, that's
why I made the reference Except I'm doing it
right But uh, yeah, I've I've been installing
floors We ripped out floors. We had one that
had Because we ripped out the carpet and the
padding and it was completely like nasty from
like dog piss from the previous owners and Some
of it soaked into the floorboard underneath the
carpet so Yeah, we We had to Rip it all up which
just flew up from that and then we put down this
stuff called kills which is like a white paint,
but it it Destroys mold smells like anything
it traps it And essentially kills it. Well, it's
highly toxic and you should wear a mask and have
a very well ventilated area. Well, my son was
in another room in the same vicinity and rather
than have him get contaminated with the chemical,
I closed all the doors in that room, trapping
myself in there with both windows wide open,
which they have really big windows. Hmm, um,
so that helped but I didn't have a mask on So
I'm pretty sure I burned my esophagus somewhat
or like My windpipe Mm -hmm, which I'm hoping
that that recovers Because if I talk in my regular
voice my voice kind of fizzles out at points
however, if I talk in Beast Wars Megatron or
in a world voice that nothing actually happens
with my voice and I can actually talk normal,
which is strange. I can talk in any voice but
my own, which is strange. It's a pretty good
thing. It's like saying, nope, you're not allowed
to talk like you anymore. So yeah, I've been
doing that. And then, of course, I started installing
laminate flooring. And as you can, well, you'll
be able to tell once I get regular internet,
I don't have the familiar hum of an air conditioner
or a furnace or a washing machine or a dryer
because I'm actually in my own isolated office.
And thankfully, I mean, the walls are huge and
they're thick. So I don't have to worry about
being noisy anymore, which is awesome. Yeah So
actually before I got on this call I was laying
down more laminate in my office or not in my
office in my bedroom we got the hallway done
ahead of time, but the the The bedroom I had
started yesterday. Mm -hmm. Well today I got
Another third of the room done. I Would say I
have three quarters of the room done Hmm since
yesterday That's the closet that's and and we
have to get new like trim for the hallway in
that bedroom Because we opted to destroy the
old stuff Yeah, I would think anything in that
house that's old stuff you opted to destroy Well,
it is my mission in life So yeah, I did that.
And then, yeah, that's pretty much what I've
been doing. And I've been using a saw, chopping
the crap out of it. So it's been fun. And then
right before I started the recording for this,
I've got both PCs set up, my laptop and my desktop.
I have no internet. I'm trying to get something
to boot, funny enough. But um Yeah, so I personally
set up my office before even though this room
is gonna get torn apart later on once the carpet
gets laid because we're putting linoleum in so
It's a never -ending project, but yes Renovation
suck I've watched enough HGTV to realize renovations
really suck when you're doing them, but they
pay off after it's done. Oh, yeah, and that's
that's the definite thing like we've painted
Damn near every room in the house And I'm fully
intent on see because the office I have to share
it with my wife Which it's not a big deal. Like
is honestly the closet. It's got lot of my my
hoodies and work uniforms and then it's got our
board games and miscellaneous crap that goes
under desk well I Reclaimed my old desk. Mm -hmm
that I've had since I was like 12 It's gonna
pull out drawer and everything else and it extends
so I can have an extended desk Or if I don't
want it, I can just push the file cabinet back
inside and all condenses right back in the desk
so maybe I'll actually clean it out for once
but so I gave her back her desk and then I butted
it up against mine so that I can divide the room
essentially right right because I'm going to
set up my soundboard as soon as I get the room
set up the way I want it and as soon as I get
Comcast in here and I'm going to set up a green
screen wall behind me because I'll have plenty
of light. There you go. So that's what's been
going on with me. Yeah, with me it's been fairly
boring. I did just do an interview with Neil
S. Bulk. He is an album producer. He works with
Lovelin Records. putting together like the lethal
weapon eight disc cd set and stuff like that
it was really interesting talking to him and
and and seeing how the production side of something
like that you know what what they have to do
to do that um because i had asked him in the
interview about alternate Certain CDs sometimes
will have an alternate take on a certain track,
and it's like, hmm, where did that come from?
Did the composer just have it lying around? So
it was really interesting talking to him. What
else have I been doing this week? Let's see,
saw the Gotham trailer, the extended trailer,
so we'll talk about that here in a little bit.
Podcasted two or three times got Batman month
ready to go. I still have Five of those episodes
fighting five episodes to edit and one to actually
record so that's that's all done Constantly having
problems with people in the area that I live
in I swear to God dude people are so fucking
stupid I'm sorry to use the f -bomb ladies and
gentlemen, but people in this world are so take
today for example Some one of my neighbor's friends
comes over and How our sidewalk is is it's a
sidewalk that it has grass around it You would
think the smart thing to do after you get off
your bike is either number one use the damn kickstand
It has one which I don't know if the bike did
or not I didn't say it or put the bike on the
grass Don't leave it right in the middle of the
damn sidewalk where the mailman has to step over
it to get to the friggin building Are you kidding
me? Oh my god Summer is gonna be hell around
here with all these people that live around here
because we've got like six different play sets
out in the yard Wow, oh my god Oh and the other
thing This past week, I guess I guess I can go
off on this even though I already went off on
it on Facebook I'm the type of person that I
don't know how people keep their you know, how
well people that live around here maintain their
cars I know one guy that has a car that's a very
very old model BMW has no gas tank door on it
it has a cap it has a gas cap but it doesn't
have a tank door on it so the 5th of May the
force apparently wasn't with some of these stupid
ass kids who are lighting off sparklers and firecrackers
around cars okay sure it's just a sparkler but
damn it Get the hell away from the cars! I don't
know if that shit's gonna explode or... You know
what I mean? It's just one of those things that
I'm like... Oh my god, people in this area...
Stupid, stupid people! So that's what I've been
dealing with this week. The other really interesting
thing is, and normally I don't... Have you ever
looked at ripped apparel's website at all? somewhat
Okay They basically do like so somebody will
do a design and they have a t -shirt a day like
a design a day for for 365 days and I've seen
people talk about ripped apparel and everything
else and it was the first time First time I ever
bought anything from them only because I had
to I will actually probably either have you or
I might do it myself Put the pictures in the
post They have sounds of the 80s volume one and
two and it's the cassettes from blaster and sound
wave It's it's so hilarious these designs so
I was able to get those two shirts this week
What else is going on? Just preparing for the
the contest that we've got going on the five
-year contest and Other than that not much else
really is going on a lot of my TV shows are ending
I I did watch the not this past weeks not not
this week's episode but the week before i did
watch agents of shield and it was it was all
right the one where um... uh... sky and what's
his name mister oh my god we didn't know you
were hydra hydra guy uh... ford or whatever the
hell ward so ward ford whatever I watched that
and I enjoyed it. I thought it was pretty good.
I'm gonna watch the season finale tonight I just
watched the second to last episode of the Big
Bang Theory for this season and Anyone that says
that there's no character development with any
of those characters is damn dead wrong Because
they're taking a really for a situation comedy.
They're taking it a really serious turn for the
end of the season Obviously you don't have cable
right now, so I know you weren't able to watch
it, but well I'll have it tomorrow, but right
But I'm saying that You know all the characters
Between Howard and Bernadette being married and
what they're setting up for the end of the season
and Raj and Sheldon and Amy and Leonard and all
the characters are being set up for not necessarily
for they're not world -building it they're not
doing what you know what Michael Powers loves
to see things do but It's not just episode after
episode of hey, let's make fun of geek culture.
Hey, let's make fun of physics Hey, let's make
fun of this this it is not that at all But anyway,
but that's pretty much what I've been up to this
week. I saw Amazing Spider -Man 2, which people
will be able to hear my thoughts amongst a bunch
of other geeks coming up next Thursday, the 15th
of April. Just real quick without spoiling anything.
How did you like it? I thought it was great.
There are a couple moments where I felt... Max
Dillon was a little bit too 90s Edward enigma,
but Other than that, I love the visuals. I love
how they incorporated the music into the visual
effects and the sound effects People are saying
that oh there's Here's the difference between
spider -man 3 and amazing spider -man 2 spider
-man 3 they completely forced all three villains
on us and Amazing Spider -Man 2 Electro is the
main villain the side story is Harry and like
in the Goblin stuff and then Paul Giamatti's
character as the Rhino he shows up at the beginning
of the movie but he doesn't show up again till
the very end so I don't even really count it
being three villains because he is in my personal
opinion he is set up for the next film when they
eventually bring in the sinister six or the insidious
six or whatever the hell they're gonna call the
damn six villains But overall I liked it. I enjoyed
it. I loved Garfield and and stones chemistry
as Peter and Gwen I like how they Did the repercussions
of the first film with what Peter Parker and
spider -man is dealing with With the whole thing
with and this isn't a spoiler At the end of the
first film George Stacey says hey look stay away
from my daughter you have to promise me this
well that comes back to haunt him throughout
the second film here and i thought that was very
well done um i enjoyed it overall i don't i don't
i'm trying to think here how am i gonna word
this okay i know in the six years that i've podcast
that i've analyzed stuff and picked it apart
to death but i'm to the point now where with
the Spider -Man movies with the X -Men movies
with the Marvels depending on what Marvel stuff
I see that is Marvel Studios because I know I
won't be seeing Guardians of the Galaxy although
I did see that trailer finally in front of Spider
-Man and I'm like okay but I find myself to be
a lot more tolerant of movies now I find myself
going in with a more optimistic outlook sure
did i have expectations that spider -man two
are amazing spirit it was going to be the best
comic book movie ever no but i didn't go in just
downright hating it i know there's some people
online all i wish they would just stuck with
the original you know why why reboot the franchise
why do this why do that well first of all and
i think mike powers said this the rainy films
are the six one six the the regular moral universe
and this is supposed to be the ultimate universe
so i don't know bottom line is i enjoyed the
film that's good makes me uh... enthused to go
see it there's a lot of cool moments in it and
having the i will say having the the more uh...
recognized suit this time around does it a lot
better so it's the actual it's it's the ones
that we grew up on yeah kind of okay he does
still have the mechanical web shooters though
it's basically it's basically the suit from the
Raimi films except it's like 94 Spidey where
he built the web shooters himself so basically
they took everything from Amazing One with his
origin and everything else and just change the
suit out that's all they did okay i can get behind
that other than that not much else is really
going on i mean i'm just you know podcasting
as always writing reviews and i'm really getting
impatient on waiting every week for the Justice
League Beyond and Batman Beyond 2 .0 digital
issues because damn it, that story is so good
right now. So that's kind of me being a little
bit more impatient. Other than that, not much
else really. I think we should probably get into
some of the news items since there isn't a lot
of them. Yeah, sorry for the the raw edit this
week. I am I'm going to just more or less It
it's it's not gonna be very transitional more
or less It's gonna be like the old ATTFs ladies
and gentlemen if you know those No, no, not the
old old ones like Episode nine and above You're
not you're not talking about the no not the early
episode no like After I joined the thing You're
not talking about that so now I'm not talking
about the episodes like that where they got talk
like this, but he was really British Yeah, he
wasn't British But he wasn't wow that's kind
of scary. He was from Texas Anyhow. Which story
do we want to jump into first? Well, should we
go on the whole ranting thing? Not necessarily
this is a bad thing, but discussing the potential
that the showrunner for Gotham has said that
the Joker could show up eventually. Well, since
you let the cat out of the bag, we might as well
go with Gotham as the first starting point. Let's
start with the extended trailer. What did you
think of that? I thought it was pretty neat.
I liked getting the quick cameos of everybody.
I thought it was kind of interesting. Not only
casting, but the way that they're planning about
going about this story. Yeah, I'm the same way.
I thought it was it looks really good. I'm interested
to see how The villains are you know because
the whole part the whole point of the trailer
is before Riddler before Catwoman before all
of you know everything that we know Before Batman
you know what I'm most interested in is because
it's something we've never really seen is Bruce
as a child After his parents right we've seen
it, but we haven't Seen it we haven't really
seen him grow up. We've seen his parents get
killed He was a kid for a while by the time he
was 16 or 18 He went overseas did the training
did this did that by the time he's 20 something
He found the cave or whatever the hell and by
the time he's 35 40. He's the goddamn Batman
but we haven't really seen and this is one of
the reasons why i like prequels like this this
is one of the reasons why i originally loved
smallville because i was so interested to see
what was going on with a young clark kent because
we all know the origin story and you know a lot
of superman's actual stories that's what i'm
interested to see how they're going to approach
this series and deal with it from that aspect,
and how exactly all these villains that are in
Batman's Rose Gallery actually come to be in
Gotham and what they're doing before Batman even
shows up. Because I'm betting, however long this
series lasts, I'm betting the final thing they're
going to do is have... Whomever I'm hoping bat
flick but whomever show up as Batman at a series
finale whether it's Season 2 season 3 I tell
you this. I I don't know. I know Batman has a
lot of mythology I mean hell the guy's been around
for 75 years. I don't want to I don't want ten
seasons out of Gotham I would say five maximum
But if it's doing good, they'll milk it. I know
I know But the problem is when they milk stuff
is you get one or two seasons where it's utter
crap. You mean you get sour milk? Yeah. That
too. The trailer looks damn good. I'm really
happy that Ben McKenzie is going to be Commissioner
Gordon. This is actually, I believe, his return
to Fox since he was on the OC way back in 2003.
So it's been about 10 years or so, 10 or 11 years
or so since he's been on Fox. So I'm interested
to see how he plays that. I'm really stoked to
see how Donald Logue plays Bullock because I've
been watching him as an actor on Law and Order
Special Victims Unit and he's playing a lieutenant
on there and he's a damn good actor and I really
think he can pull Bullock off. What did you think
about the trailer? I'm interested to see how
these certain people play out because obviously,
you know, everybody's going to be raw, everybody's
going to be real early in their career of whatever
they may be doing, whoever it may be. The only
thing I'm not too keen on is they're going to
focus on these certain characters and Yes, some
of them would have become who they were going
to become regardless without Batman. Like Penguin,
like Riddler, like Catwoman. No. But then you
have, I mean, you have some cases where Joker
is created by Batman. Yeah. And then you have
other ones where he's just there. Right. Which,
I don't have a problem either way that they go.
The thing I don't agree with is they're all supposed
to be pretty close to Bruce's age. Yeah. I mean,
I know Cobblepot is going to be a little bit
older. I know Joker is going to be as a smidge
older. But at the same time. It's. I don't know
if they should go that route and have all of
them show up early Like they could they could
easily have clay face early on you know Before
he starts taking the chemical or he'd maybe he
does start taking the chemical, but nothing actually
happens yet Now which version of clay face would
you want to see would you want to see the actor?
So you want to see Matt Hagen, yeah Okay, yeah,
I'm right there with you cuz I mean I could I
could see him do it that that version of them
I could I could see that You know being that
he's you know an aging actor I could see that
happen. I could see you know Like Harvey as like
one of the school friends of Bruce I know this
will never happen, but I want Billy Dee Williams
back as Harvey Dent. I know it'll never happen
though because he's way too old. I'm gonna read
part of this from the Joker News here. It says...
EW has posted an interview with Gotham showrunner
Bruno Heller, who revealed that the Joker would
eventually be making an appearance in the upcoming
Fox Batman prequel series, as well as Harvey
Dent and Poison Ivy, who may be introduced later
in the first season. Now, I don't want them...
Someone asked on Facebook, didn't ask me directly,
but asked somebody else, you know, do you think
it's too soon since Heath Ledger? I don't think
it's necessarily that you know I'm kind of on
board with what you've you know what your opinion
of him is is he's a you know the Joker is He's
Batman's number one rogue. He's he's Batman's
true arch enemy you don't Put him in there just
to have him there you like if they build up and
have harvey and and ivy and all these other people
and then throughout maybe have harley sprinkled
in there with like little joker hints throughout
the first or second season and then build him
up like that that would be fine but just to stick
him in there just because hey it's the joker
and this is a batman prequel series because we
don't even know how far they're going to take
this whole young bruce thing That you know Bruce
could be the young Bruce for just the first season
by the time the second season comes they find
some teenager To play him for his teenage years
So I don't know. I really don't want to see the
Joker in this series not right away anyway Yeah,
I'm kind of of the same opinion. I would rather
they waited until he was actually like You know
a young man like maybe early 20s and then have
you know, maybe that character that becomes the
Joker Show up And I know that you know, some
people prefer the the one where he's just he
was made by himself and then the other ones were
he's made by Batman I personally like the one
where he's made by Batman because it makes it
an irony because they're both You know interconnected.
Mm -hmm. I Mean, I don't have a problem with
the way they did origins to where he just kind
of shows up but yeah, but there's a lot of the
characters that are more of a Reaction to Batman
and then some of them had their own agendas previously
anyway But then they went hardcore with it once
Batman hit the scene Yeah, I I Don't know I hope
to God they don't do I can see them maybe doing
this for dent and doing what they did first not
they is in Fox or they is in Bruno Heller, but
doing what they did for Smallville where Clark
and Lex start out as friends, and then I could
see them doing that with Bruce and Harvey I could
never see them doing that with Bruce and the
Joker No That would definitely not work. I'm
very stoked to see Gotham I'm interested to see
how how deep in the bat mythos they go I'll keep
an open mind about it, and this is what I was
saying I don't think I said it on this show,
but I've said it elsewhere online where it depends
on the characters. Batman stuff, I will always
be on board and be positive for, unlike my first
initial thoughts on the first six episodes of
SHIELD, because they're doing, they said in that
news article, a Batman prequel series. You've
got Gordon, you've got Bullock, you've got Alfred,
you've got... these bat villains. You've got
Bruce. Those are all characters, while I may
not know them what they're going to be doing
in this series, but I know different incarnations
of them, so I can kind of be on board. Whereas
over in Marvel, it's like, hey, here's Coulson
with this ragtag team of people that you don't
know who the hell they are because they're just
random secret agents. You know, so I'm more on
board with Gotham than I am in just in general.
with Agents of Shield, not that I just, you know,
I'm coming around to Agents of Shield, but that
show's got to do something. Well, I guess since
we've talked Gotham's ear off, that makes it
to a perfect transition that, well, CW. Oh, you
want to go that route, huh? Yes. Arrow and flash
is really all that matters. Arrow's flashing
supernatural is really all that matters because
those three got picked up. Everything else got
cancelled. Well, the funny thing is supernatural
attempted a spinoff an episode or two ago, and
it was basically like Godfather but with monsters.
Oh, jeez. And they actually said that comment
in the episode and it felt very forced. Like
they were trying to almost bring back the dynamic
of season one, but with the mob boss mentality
of the the different monster clans, it flopped
like a ton of bricks. Everybody panned it. Like
every review was just terrible. I watched it.
I was bored. I I mean, and I've been following
the show since season one. My wife and I have
and. I was like next to the the ghost facers
episodes that they kept having and then the the
Where they had the the the camera and they had
people running through the woods doing that Blair
Witch kind of shooting Those are the only episodes.
I cannot watch a supernatural This this one did
not help it any I mean it at least was watchable,
but It was it I have no faith in a spin -off
of a show that's going So for instance Like when
bones tried it Yeah Yeah, that didn't go very
long they tried it with once upon a time with
once upon a time in wonderland that got cancelled
They tried it was supernatural in had a soft
pilot within The actual show mm -hmm and that
never got picked up because of it whereas you
look at things like arrow and Being that they
introduced so many people know in the flash and
the way they went about it Having the soft pilot
within arrow worked really well Absolutely, yeah
The one show I am sad that the CW canceled was
The Tomorrow People. I know that Danner and Mike
have different opinions of the show because they
have ones that they like better. I, for one,
I like what The Tomorrow People is attempting
to do. And I think that, again, this is another
case like Agents of S .H .I .E .L .D. Where it
was a slow burn on the start and Then the last
few episodes they hit that wick and it's just
it's it's like when you're watching You know
dynamite getting ready to explode And then it
just starts running You know for that climatic
season finale, and I think the tomorrow people's
With the episode that came out this week. They
really really ramped it up changing things So,
I mean I it had the potential to be good But
now that it's cancelled, I'm gonna finish out
the last episode and then Did it farewell And
agents of shield I'm wondering I know we've talked
about it before but I'm wondering if They may
actually cancel it after the episode with Nick
Fury Breaking news just found this out looked
at common resources web Facebook page ABC renews
agents of shield picks up agent Carter It's a
good day for Marvel TV ABC has renewed Marvel's
agents of shield for a second season and given
series order to Marvel's agent Carter as Announced
on Marvel .com the second season of agents of
shield is said to start in fall 2014 But no time
frame is given for agent Carter So yeah, that's
good for me then One show that got renewed So,
the thing with Agent Carter, when I was on with
Mike and Danner a couple weeks ago, I said, wait,
why are they doing one about the new one? Then
they're like, no, no, no, it's a period piece.
Here's what this article has to say about it.
Deadline has a serious description for Agent
Carter. It's 1946 and peace is dealt. Peggy Carter
a serious blow as she finds herself marginalized
when the men return home from fighting abroad.
Working for the covert SSR, Strategic Scientific
Reserve, Peggy must balance doing administrative
work and going on secret missions for Howard
Stark, all while trying to navigate life as a
single woman in America. In the wake of losing
the love of her life, Steve Rogers. So, that
sounds to me... a lot more enticing than the
current status of Agents of Shield. I'm kind
of glad that Agents of Shield got picked up because
I'm still wondering, kind of like what Mike said,
are they going to use it to promote other Marvel
characters or are they just going to use it as
the movie buff and have it a buffer for the live
-action universe? the live -action film universe,
but Agent Carter looks pretty damn good, honestly,
just from the description. The interesting part
about that is, I may watch it when I can collect
the entire season. Right. Whereas the other one,
I watch it purely for Colson alone, and then
the fact that they have switched it up so much
in the last few episodes. I really enjoy it now,
whereas it was kind of almost Dylan Capture of
the Week, like any other show that's on television
right now, where it finally came with a plot.
So I really enjoy it. But the interesting thing
is the Agent Carter. Version is the rise of shield
and agents of shield is the fall of shield So
it if you watch them both it'll give you a nice
Book ending on either end of the shield as we
know it Yep, and I still stand by my opinion
that Nick fury is forming a new one and they'll
probably have Tony Stark as the head of the new
shield. Possibly. Alright, where are we going
next? What was the other story that you had for
me? Oh, let's see here. Well, I guess I can throw
this one in there. I'm looking at a link now
where Future's End writers talk issue one, crafting
the future of the new 52, and there are spoilers
in here. Future's End, it's interesting because
I read a review on the Nerdist, on Nerdist .com.
where the guy basically said, hey look, it's
DC ripping off one of Marvel's most famous stories
because it's essentially DC's version of Days
of Futures Past. This review pointed out everything
to do with both stories and that they're pretty
much similar between the issue 0 and issue 1.
The other thing I had was the fact that the Autobots
are announced for Age of Extinction. Two new
additions have been... I saw John Goodman. Yep.
Age of Extinction announced that John Goodman
and Ken Watanabe will provide the voices of Autobots
Hound and Drift respectively. They join Peter
Cullen as Optimus Prime, Frank Welker as Galvatron.
God for that. John DiMaggio is... Do they actually
have Galvatron? That's what it says here. What's
that supposed to mean? It's from Superhero Hype.
Wow. That's what it says. And there's actually
a picture online. uh... from the bali brown wheat
nanny bong face book page actually shared it
uh... it's of the actual press release from uh...
here is a uh... sniff of the announcement from
michael bay dot com so this is actually on michael
bay dot com goodman in watanabe will join legendary
voice actors peter cullen and frank welker uh...
so it does say uh... you know That Welker is
Galvatron rounding out the voiceover cast or
actors John DiMaggio Mark Ryan Robert Foxworth
and Reno Wilson DiMaggio and Ryan will take on
the new characters crosshairs and lockdown respectively
while Foxworth reprises the role of ratchet and
Wilson returns as brains So yeah, it's gonna
be pretty interesting because I'm wondering I
really want to know now that I've seen that Welker
is gonna be Galvatron what I want to know is
is he going to be crazy G1 Galvatron or is it
gonna be a whole different voice because we all
know his Megatron in G1 is a higher register
and you know it's more gravel whereas his prime
Megatron is a lower register and is more sinister
so i'm wondering what kind of galvatron he's
gonna have in age of extinction well hopefully
it's not it is my destiny i don't know i kind
of want to hear him do that again i think it
would be interesting but it would not fit it
would be so hokey in the film because you could
see this big old beastie galvatron going uh you
know saying that or saying We will not fight
today, Optimus Prime. Yeah. I'm more interested
right now in finding out number one, if Grimlock...
The announcement of Goodman and Watanabe is great,
but I really need an announcement. That number
one, Grimlock is gonna transform, and number
two, Greg Berger is voicing him. That's what
I need. Grimlock? Yeah. Um... See yeah, that's
pretty much all I had for news I know there's
There's a couple of controversial news stories
out there, and I really don't want to talk about
them if people if I'll briefly mention them if
people look up HGTV you can find out about this
series that they've decided to not go in together
not to to bring to the network because of the
twins uh beliefs crap you crapped out oh boy
all right i did yeah you did um And then there's
that stupid story about Willow Smith dating a
20 -year -old, so whatever. I only bring this
up because Facebook has this new thing on the
right -hand side of their main page for when
you're logged in. It's called Trending Topics.
Now I normally do not pay attention to trending
stuff on Twitter at all, specifically because
I use TweetDeck and not the actual website. But
on Facebook, I can't help sometimes but look
at some of the trending articles on Facebook.
One of them actually is, Apple is getting close
to buying Beats Audio. You've seen those Beats
by Dre audio commercials for the headphones?
Yeah, they have those built into Android phones
for the most part. Yeah, well it looks like Apple
might be going to be buying them. That's what
I care. All cell phones suck. You just gotta
be on the right... Yeah, I was gonna say you
just gotta be on the right network. Or AGC. Yeah,
there is that too. So, is there anything else
we gotta bring up this week? You may have to
do this, but being that I don't have full internet
right now, what were some of the responses for
questions last week? Oh, for comments on the
website. Yes. Let me see here. I don't think
there were a lot, because the Amazing Spider
-Man 2 M -Wire Weekly episode and Talking in
Circles episode 16 basically stole our thunder!
Um... Days of Thunder? No. Don't tempt me, because
I will edit Days of Thunder music into the show.
Don't tempt me. Um... As long as it's behind
our vocals right here, I don't care. Well, yeah.
Alright, so feedback on the Altered Geek Unlimited
TV fun clock episode. There's some, but not much,
those shows weekly and uh... Nice. Yup. Justin
Washington says, Oh yeah, I definitely agree.
So Brad Kellogg says, currently I kind of have
a geek room. Nothing special about it, but the
one thing I do find that is a key component is
space. When you collect things like comic books,
movies, books, and video games, things can add
up. I have tons of storage space with file lockers
for my most precious gifts, some of which are
even fireproof. what can I say I was a boy scout
always be prepared and then Connor Murphy had
replied to him this is the final one I agree
space is a key factor with the right creative
mind you can make a limited space work though
corner desks are a big plus you can be economical
with your space that way but built -in shelving
too. I try to make my own to fit the room I'm
in. The one thing a geek room needs though is
a proper bar or at least a place for some refrigerated
beverages. I take ideas from geek rooms and man
caves and put them into one. My pool table also
doubles as a kick -ass table for D &D and Lego
parties. Yep. Yep. I will post pictures of my...
My process of geeking my room out as as I go
with the renovations and Modifications to my
office eventually I plan on changing out my some
of my outlets to include USB ports Because you
can have USB next to the power outlet So I could
actually power Like my phone or Devices like
that and not have them directly plugged into
my computer. There you go. That works I Don't
think I have anything else and hopefully I Should
be back to full force within the next week or
two Definitely before the end of the month. Oh
Yeah, most definitely I'm trying to think of
any questions we can ask them this week. Were
there any shows that you saw that you wished
hadn't gotten the axe this week? Okay, there
you go. Or that you wish would get the axe? Again,
it's a matter of opinion. I'm just kind of curious
on what people's tastes are. as far as shows
that they'd like to see go away. Even if it's
like certain genres or types of stuff, kind of
like, you know, how they have all the doctor
shows or all the cop shows or all the, you know,
FBI shows. There's only really one of that. Still.
I think that they could have kept Tomorrow People
and gotten rid of Beauty and the Beast, but.
Well, they did get rid of Beauty and the Beast.
They did yeah Okay, that was one of the ones
that I was reading with it then I Couldn't remember
if it was top or bottom of the They get rid of
they get rid of Beauty and the Beast tomorrow
people and the Carrie Diaries the Sex and the
City's prequel series. I didn't even know anybody
cared about that show still But yeah, I'm sad
about the one but yeah, anyways just reply on
