Theater Consolidation, Boba Fett, and Kickstarter Updates

You're listening to the GeekCast Radio Network,

a podcast. You're tuned in to Steve Megatron

on Altered Geek. Hello and welcome to Altered

Geek. And joining me in this endeavor into geekdom

is TFU and Mike. Hi, I'm Mike. I'm retired and

I have a problem. And I'm Steve Megatron so this

week on the podcast we're gonna be talking about

Nothing COVID related so there's that Okay, since

you said that I have to bring this up we're going

back to normal we're going back to the future

Mm -hmm We're recording this Tuesday May 12th

Six days ago It had been one year since I had

brain surgery if I had had to have had brain

surgery six days ago I I'd be going even more

out of my mind than I was a year ago when I had

it When you had your I've never had my mind But

yeah, I you know, it's been a year since the

brain surgery Obviously, I'm doing much much

better. I still get headaches here and there

but it's nothing like it was the the six months

before the brain surgery because Though that

six months leading up to it was like Two different

doctors basically said unless you go have surgery

your brain is gonna pop out of your skull Because

of all the act because of all the excess fluid

that was building on my brain. That's just wonderful

Mm -hmm So don't do it you're going to die pretty

much So but yeah much much better so that's really

the only thing that that I wanted to bring up

was in retrospect and hindsight and whatever

else I Don't know what it would be like it. Oh,

I know what it would be like if I had to have

it now I'd be in the hospital by myself Because

Karen wouldn't wouldn't even probably be able

to be there Kind of a thing so because of all

of everything that's going on now Anyway to the

geekdom to the geekdom to the geek cave That's

actually kind of funny So one of the interesting

things that kind of popped up this this week

whether it happens or not is a different story,

but They were saying that Amazon was looking

at possibly purchasing AMC Entertainment, which

is a major movie theater chain. Yep. The funny

thing is, though, is what was it? And I forget

if it was on Facebook or Twitter. Let me see

if it was. It was It was scanner 51 He says he

says all I want for for my birthday is this WB

AT &T buys regal which is another cinema Universal

Comcast buys AMC Sony buys Cinemark Disney buys

Alamo. Is that too much to ask? I want to live

like it's in the 40s which for those that don't

know back in the olden days The studios owned

the movie theater chains. They were not separate

entities. Right. Which was a good thing and a

bad thing because the bad thing they push what

they want because they own it. So that they could

also be kind of a detriment because let's say

they don't want to show movies by the other opposing

company. Then you have to travel to another movie

theater chain to get to see what you want if

that's the way they play it or it could become

down to a licensing thing which would just get

messy and it's just honestly i don't think it'd

be worth it but the the interesting thing is

is there's a lot of consolidation going on especially

now that everything is painful and hurt and And

honestly, this was made legal before COVID ever

hit. Right. So it'll be interesting to see if

this actually comes to pass of something to this

degree, because the movie theaters are not doing

well. No, they're not. As we kind of covered

in the last episode due to the experiment with

trolls and the fact that it worked well for streaming,

I don't see movie theaters being all that big

of a thing. Beyond this Especially the fact that

nobody's going to actually get to sit down in

them for a while Well, here's the thing no one's

gonna get to sit down in them in a while and

who's really gonna go out like okay, so I Forget

if it was the other day or today or whenever

somebody on my Facebook feed asked about you

know once the government or states or whatever

opens back up, whether it's fully open or whether

it's these phased plan openings, how are you

going to feel about that? Are you going to want

to go out? What's the one thing you want to do

that you can't do currently? Most people are

like, oh, I'd like to go to a restaurant and

whatever else. I would too. I know my wife and

I would love to go out to eat. um so we would

love to be able to do that again especially since

we've only been living here for the last five

months now so we still haven't really explored

everything in our area kind of thing but the

thing of it is is i've always been a homebody

virus or no virus i've never really cared too

much about going out to eat or i used to love

going to the movies so i always go by myself

obviously but I Don't want to go outside and

die. That's my thing Ask no mask, whatever, you

know, there's so many conflicting things about

the masks now I've seen one of my nurse friends

post like seven different things on Facebook

in the last two days about how wearing masks

causes new Issues yeah, yeah, yeah, and I understand

that but you're only supposed to be wearing the

masks while you're out like This is not counting

first responders. This is not counting medical.

This is not counting any of that. This is counting

you or I or my wife, your wife, your children

going to the grocery store or something. Because

here's the thing. Yeah, you guys can, you know,

Mary can stay at home with the kids or you can

stay at home with the kids while one of you goes

to the grocery store. You know, Karen and I,

we don't have kids, but we need each other's

help in shopping half the time. So it's like,

We go out, we wear the mask, we come home, we

take the mask off. Luckily, I have a mask now

where I feel like I can actually breathe in it.

The other ones I've had so far, I was suffocating

immediately. But I have one now where it's much,

much better. My point in saying all of this,

and it's not really avoiding COVID, is it? Is

that... Don't really want to go out and gather

with anybody at all. I don't care what the venue

is I don't care if it's a movie theater. I don't

care if it's a restaurant a church a library,

I Don't want to be be With other people physically.

I'm perfectly fine with online life Yeah I don't

know. I mean if it was family or if it was like

close close friends. Yeah, sure, but just to

go out to go out to do something else. I mean,

yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I mean, I'm kind of

torn in that department. I really am wanting

to leave the house and kind of tired of being

cooped up. That being said, I when it comes to.

Going to like the store or going hiking or something

We've not stopped doing those two things like

the store in the terms of grocery like right

obviously because I mean there are other things

open but I Honestly wouldn't be going to most

anything because One I don't like to wait in

lines At all and and that's something that like

drives My wife nuts at times I cannot absolutely

stand dealing with waiting Or I what really peeves

me is if a store supposedly carries something

or you would think that they would carry it and

they don't Because they Because they They just

don't carry that product and so I end up having

to buy it online anyway Which just infuriates

the crap out of me So Yeah, I I don't know it's

just I Mean you can still like like you guys

you just said you guys go out and still hike

Okay, you you can still go as long as them They

did close the Rocky Mountain National Park and

it reopens at the end of May, which I'm thankful

for because there's a lot of parks we can't get

to. Right. OK, well, with the parks being closed

until they open back up, some have some haven't.

Actually, it's funny, the park that we live right

next to, it didn't close because it's a small

enough park where it's not like it's in the middle

of downtown Vancouver, Washington. It's it's

a basically a Very much tinier version of like

something like Central Park or something and

I'm not really trying to compare the two but

I'm saying It's not like one of these big -ass

parks that needs to be closed my point in saying

this is that Karen and I have gone for a drive

We can still get out of the house We don't net

like But for the necessity type stuff for the

you know entertainment type stuff. All I got

to say is thank God for streaming services and

video on demand where you can buy films or TV

shows. Because if there were video stores today,

oh my God, those would be the first things to

close down right now. Because ain't nobody going

to go to the movie store. Yeah, with all those

people you look at blockbuster in the late 80s

early 90s to mid 90s you look at family video

Adventure and you look at any video store that

was open back in our childhood. I Remember at

least besides myself and my mom five or six other

families So husband wife two or three children

sometimes four At least ten people in the video

store at one time Mm -hmm, and I know certain

stores nowadays are are limiting customers Do

not go in there Yeah, so back in the day there

were at least at a time ten people in the video

store and I know some stores now that are open

even Walmart's are Limiting customers, you know

five or six customers at a time kind of thing

but other than what I Need by necessity like

a grocery store. I have zero interest for brick

-and -mortar shopping right now Because I don't

want to deal with the people Yeah, I get that

I and the other thing If you go out now You're

you're more or less treated like a Crazy person

if you don't have Mm -hmm a mask granted. I mean

we have them. I Don't particularly enjoy wearing

them. So I just prefer not to go anywhere Yeah

But nevertheless Yeah, I don't know it I'm kind

of torn at this point in time Yeah, as far as

going anywhere Like not overly cautious about

it, but at the same time I'm not I'm not the

the type that's gonna purposely like endanger

people like because just because I Don't personally

see a huge issue Not wearing it when I don't

have it Because again you're breathing in like

it's for one. It's hard to breathe with those

blasted things on your face And if you've got

glasses, that's a whole nother issue So, yeah,

I mean I'm not entirely sure What you know more

or less what direction to go with it It's gonna

be interesting to see what AMC and Amazon if

they come to some sort of agreement or something

It's going to be completely interesting. I think

all of our entertainment, like you guys were

talking about a couple weeks ago, the changes

in entertainment, it's going to be interesting

to see what the companies do and how they progress

as we go forward. Oh, yeah, totally. Speaking

of entertainment. This day in Simpsons history

Homer Simpson was born May 12th 1956 Homer Simpson

is 64 years old according to his Springfield

drivers license and yet he had more than a day

in years Exactly the more depressing part for

me. It lists his weighted to add 240 pounds Okay,

I'm fatter than Homer Simpson god my life sucks

It's funny Homer's an old man You thought I was

gonna talk about you you conceited Anyway So

in addition to that insanity there speaking of

insanity the Joker Is about to make aside from

the fact that they're they're teasing and finally

getting close to releasing the the triple Joker

play in comics They're they're trying to pull

a killing joke thing again Only this time with

Robin or Nightwing Nightwing Dick Grayson Actually,

it's funny. It's not it's not Dick Grayson. I

know it's Rick Well, it's cause he lost his memory

and everything. It's a whole thing that I'm not

up on. I saw the story in my Google feed. Now

this is coming to us from ScreenRant .com. And

I think it's interesting and I think it's cool.

It makes me want to, I've wanted to check out

the new Nightwing series. Concerns about Rick

Grayson aside, but now that I know it's a memory

thing Apparently they're doing they're gonna

be doing a Joker war event So there's that and

Joker knows the secret identities of the bat

family and The meetup will be a prelude to more

of the violent things to come Nightwing will

need to figure out a way to get out of Joker's

hold Is the last thing here anyone on the bat

family needs is to run into a bullet? Just love

the cover. That's really like I think the cover

is super cool And I think it's interesting, you

know going back to that time, you know and referencing

that time in comics Yeah, that's true, too Stop

me if you've heard this one before Yeah, I don't

have the rest of in front of me but oh alright,

I'll say I'll say it Oh my god, do I need to

do this? Here, here, stop. So a sidekick runs

into a bullet. Stop me if you've heard this one

before. There you go. Yeah. It's very, very creepy.

Yes. The Joker war, yeah. Yeah, they teased it

at the end of when... Batman was in the the Chair

that gave him all knowledge He's like there's

three of them and then that just kind of that

it never kind of went from there Well, okay,

so you're talking about that Batman found out

there was three jokers. Yes That's where Jason

Faye book story or hid the book that he's gonna

be doing art on Batman three jokers. That's where

that was supposed to pick up It was supposed

to be this this other series that was supposed

to happen and apparently it's still happening

It just hasn't happened yet because of whatever

not just Viruses or anything like that. It just

had not happened yet Because I remember sharing

to various our various social pages, pullback,

gcrn, yada yada yada. I remember sharing the

images that Jason posted on Facebook. I don't

remember when this was, but I remember that I

did, that I did share them. Since we're talking

about Batman, I guess we can talk briefly about

the CW. I'm slowly losing interest. Mean I've

been losing interest in Supergirl since like

season four, but you know funny you should say

that I actually dropped Batman Batwoman after

the second episode after the crisis and then

I dropped Supergirl at the same time and Legends

is still somewhat decent although it doesn't

appear that much of crisis has really affected

anything as far as their stuff's concerned but

I don't find it I don't find that I care particularly

as much as I used to on their end of things and

the same thing goes with The Flash I don't feel

like I care as I once did for What they have

going down I Think it's finally interesting,

but I just want it to hurry up. I just want it

to Hurry up and get to the conclusion of it all

As far as Batman three jokers it is going to

be I believe a if I have this right a DC black

label three book series, I assume Mm -hmm, uh,

jason fable who is the artist posted this on

march 14th of this year? So keep in mind folks.

This is from march 14th, 2020 Announced yesterday

the variant for book one of batman three jokers

batman The a cover is the joker and the b cover

is batman The idea for these covers was to have

a bold striking in -your -face image that popped

off the shelf Obviously, i'm taking inspiration

from brian boland's cover to the killing joke

Imagine these books on the shelf as you walk

into a comic shop We wanted something that summed

up how important and special this book will really

be Something that you would instantly draw you

in and hook you with Brad's colors and these

covers totally pop I'm very proud of them. Can't

wait to show you the cover Dress as well. He

says more next week and I don't know if he ever

shared anything else About it Yeah, I'm again

kind of looking forward to seeing What they do,

you know with this Because I remember when we

when this is first announced I was like, oh,

this is something we should cover on the pull

bag at some point And it just never got Never

got announced. I mean it got announced. It just

never got released yet. So it'll be coming at

some point I guess Hmm Yeah, I mean I'm interested

anyway, yeah, I guess leave it at that So So,

yes From there Yeah, I know it's really janky

transition there, but I'm I'm preoccupied the

thing is and I'm gonna explain this just on here

I'm trying to learn how to do is new art in a

different program that I'm not acclimated to

I'm used to using Adobe fireworks Which is which

I've been using since macro media owned it before

Adobe bought it and the The issue I've run into

is there are some instances where I need to know

how to use Photoshop in Illustrator. And I don't

know how. So yeah. That's that's the thing is

I'm trying to learn how to use them and so I'm

I'm installing them at the same time and I'm

also like looking things up so Yeah, basically

what he's saying folks is Steve's multitasking

while he's supposed to be podcasting Yes, which

I'm not gonna lie that sometimes happens and

that's why if like you listen to certain altered

geeks And I have more than one host Most of them

are talking and you're not well if they go into

a tangent that I have no idea where they're going

Or they're talking about something I have no

knowledge of and They're like, oh Steve's been

pretty quiet blah blah blah It's cuz I know nothing

about what they're talking about. So rather than

pipe up and sound like a complete ignoramus I

Just hit the mute button and then I start playing

Star Trek online or looking things up or messing

with graphics. It just kind of depends. So anyways.

See folks, you're getting insider tips to the

GCRN's complete and utter lack of failure when

it comes to podcasting. It's not always this

bad. I mean, we've had worse. Yeah, we've had

worse. You know, the 5am recordings, those were

just atrocious in the start of the network. So

earlier on, I forget what week it was. I think

it was, yeah, it was May 8th. Square Enix Eidos

released an anthology series of 54 games for

$40 to support charity. And it's insane, and

I'm not gonna list all the games. Majority, I'll

list the franchises, because that's a shorter

list. Basically anything Deus Ex, Tomb Raider.

My goodness, there's Tomb Raider. Kane in Lynch,

Just Cause. Thief. Battle Stations. Supreme Commander.

Conflict. Legacy of Kane. Blood Omen. Dungeon

Siege. And a multitude of other games that they've

produced. So yeah, they released this huge pile

of games, which isn't a bad idea or a bad deal,

because they're saying like all the revenue from

this bundle will go directly to charities and

food banks across North America and Europe. However,

they didn't keep the deal going very long. It

literally went like a three or four day span,

and then they were like, OK, game over. It was

like, oh for three days, you know, we'll we'll

make it available. So they did that and it was

on Steam and Honestly, it's not a bad deal when

they did that I don't particularly care for any

of the games that were available But it was it

was still nice to see the gesture and the fact

that you get that massive library Yeah Yeah,

I mean It's very cool. Um, I Played I think I

played other Edios games that were not on Because

I was never really a Tomb Raider guy. I never

really was either and people are like you should

have played it It's like the people that are

like Super into Legend of Zelda Or Final Fantasy,

like my brother plays the crap out of Final Fantasy,

and I'm like, I'm not spending a subscription

fee to play a game. If I want to pay for DLC,

that's one thing, but if, you know, I won't pay

a monthly charge. Because even when you do that,

you still, there's certain things that you can't

get unless you pay money. So it's like I'd rather

get it for free and then if I do microtransactions

then so be it Yep, I don't know I just couldn't

get into the mechanics of Tomb Raider and at

the time Tomb Raider had just come out and so

did Metal Gear Solid and I much prefer the mechanics

and the gameplay for Metal Gear Solid. I can

see that Did when did that first come out was

that on PC or was that on or not PC? But PlayStation

or was that on like? Super Nintendo solid came

out on PlayStation the original PlayStation yeah

1998 I believe Fine yeah And I know I know obviously

Metal Gear had been around It's been a franchise

longer than that. It was on NES and whatever,

but the solid version of it. Solid snake. Yep.

Yeah, so. The other thing that I thought was

kind of interesting that kind of popped up this

week, and it was kind of foreshadowed per se,

but they they kind of let it slip that it was

going to happen anyway at some point. They They

they dropped the bombshell that The Mandalorian

is going to have Tamura Morrison returned to

the Star Wars franchise to play Boba Fett Didn't

he die he played Jango Fett in the original I

know They had they had Boba Fett fall in the

snark the the sarlacc pit and return to the Jedi

But they didn't show him they showed him go down,

but they didn't show anything beyond that So

thank you and they they had you know If they

don't show you die, then you're still alive Here's

the problem with this though for me isn't like

The Mandalorian like 50 or 60 or 70 years in

the future compared to the end of Jedi No It's

like 10 years Really? Yeah Because the Force

Awakens is like 20 years after I think Or 25

to 30 years, so this is like kind of the halfway

point Hmm interesting yeah, so Yeah, cuz it doesn't

take place just before this takes place kind

of like six to ten years after Jedi So like the

Empire okay, okay, that's That's what it is.

John Favreau has said that Mandalorian is set

five years after the fall of the Empire in episode

six Okay, so and it's set 25 years before the

rise of the First Order Yeah, so so yeah So anyways,

they're gonna have him come back and portray

an older Boba Fett Which is fitting because he

was a young clone of Jango So it says that Boba

Fett is expected to play just a small role in

season two after the character was teased in

the season one episode the gunslinger when a

mysterious figure sporting the bounty hunters

trademark spurs approached the apparently lifeless

body of Fennec Shand and Like I didn't catch

that. I mean I caught it, but I didn't realize

it was Bulba Fett in that episode But somebody

was like he can't come back as commander Cody

play an old man version of one of the clones.

But either way, I think it's kind of cool that

they're bringing him back, and I know that in

the expanded universe they didn't kill him off,

and so it's kind of funny to see Morrison come

back and play Boba. Yeah, that'd be cool. But

they're saying that it's always possible that

something sneaky involving cloning is going on.

Oh, of course. So it could be a cloned Boba.

very much uh but they're not saying one way or

the other i i guess we'll find out i'm assuming

that it's going to be the genuine article uh

i i think it's going to be the actual Boba Fett

and uh because i mean he's supposed to be the

best bounty hunter although he got bested by

a blind man with you know on a barge and got

The the scream of the the typical Stormtrooper

flying into a sarlacc pit and being swallowed

up and burped. So, you know It's either way.

It's gonna be funny and it'll be interesting.

The the Mandalorian actually is pretty inventive

for being such a different series and in beast

all to its own So I'm kind of looking forward

to seeing what they they pull out of the works

with this Interesting. Yes. Interesting. And

then kind of speaking of since we're talking

about media in general of streaming or digital,

I was advertised this app called My Movie. It's

M -A -I Movie. And I saw it pop up on Facebook

because You know, it's one of those stupid ads

where it's like, oh it just pops up and you know

annoys you So they they have this app and it

kind of tells you what like the crowd More or

less what general people are liking as far as

the the content And then it allows you to like

certain movies So basically you can create a

library and kind of it helps show where your

personal tastes Kind of lie. And it gives you

suggestions of movies that you might like. The

nice thing about it is it's kind of a more intuitive

IMDB. In a sense, because it tells you the name

of the movie, gives you like the poster, tells

you what year it came out, how long it is, like

a general synopsis, the director and some of

the stars. And then it tells you where you can

stream it. So like, Let me see if I can find

my movies I like. So let's say Back to the Future,

for instance. And it tells me available streaming

services. Netflix, Amazon Video, YouTube, Google

Play Movies, Apple iTunes, Voodoo, Showtime,

Microsoft Store, Redbox, DirecTV, Flix Fling,

AMC On Demand. So it tells you all the different

sites that it's available on. This is available

at 12 out of the 24 or out of the all 74 US streaming

services, which I didn't realize there was that

many of them. But again, interesting. And then

it tells you, you know, it's got this thing called

AI key talk, which more or less it the app learns

movie taste from social media, search keywords

and other diverse crowd data to characterize

the movie with the following key talk. So like.

This the first back to the futures comes up with

for these keywords, extraordinary young adulthood,

Oscar worthy performance, more adventurous, fun

ride, escapist fun, good clean fun, harmless

fun. And and then it has like the opinion analysis

where it's got more or less like a rotten tomatoes

thing. Right. And it says the the positive sentiment,

it's got 80 percent thumbs up, 20 percent thumbs

down. And then it gives you like the keywords

that go with each and then it tells you the awards

that the film won and how many nominations Cool

as well as like awards from from the crowd and

then it gives you the rot the the Rotten Tomatoes

Metacritic and IDB ratings Gives you like the

cast profiles And you know photos the trailer

and then YouTube videos among other things and

then it says similar movies to Back to the Future

to kind of see what you might like by comparison.

So they can track you. Yep. Yep. But the interesting

thing, like I said, is it's it's so much more

than IMDB. Yeah. Which I kind of enjoy that because

I'm one of those annoying people that I've seen

movies so many times for some of them some of

them. I don't care I'll keep watching them over

and over some of them I'm like yeah, I remember

that one too much It's not really a favorite

so I won't kind of really do anything with it

Right, but Mary on the other hand Will not remember

a movie She's like clean slate every time Basically

you married 50 first dates when it comes to movies

when it comes to movies and it's it's a good

thing and a bad thing a good thing in the sense

that She can watch anything and it she won't

really remember it And The other on the bad part

I've usually seen the movie enough times because

she doesn't remember it That I don't care to

watch it again Yeah So But again, I'm that annoying

person that'll sit in front of Netflix and keep

scanning through Trying to find a movie and she's

like just pick something So this is I'm hoping

that this will will curb that and I can Pick

something within reason within a reasonable amount

of time by using this app, but it's again it's

called my movie MAI movie and it's It's an app,

like an AI type app for the phone. I don't know

too much about it, other than it's kind of helpful

and useful in a number of ways. But I thought

it was, again, something kind of interesting

to check out. Very cool. Especially for movie

holics, you know. Yep. Yeah, it sounds like a

really interesting thing. To be using and like

you said it gives you all the information Something

that tells you without having to Google You know

Where you can stream it is really nice. Yeah,

and that's that's been one of my biggest pet

peeves is the fact that I can't There's certain

movies I'm like, well I want to watch like that's

say for instance Here, let me pull up the app

Because this will be just so much easier for

me to do that way Alright load load alright.

No no updates right now So let me see Let's see

if I search for Ace let's say ace Ventura when

nature calls I'm saying that only because I haven't

seen that in a while, and I watched the first

one the other day, and I didn't realize how bad

the first one was. First one's not bad, the second

one is bad. Well, in places. The part where he

comes out of the Rhino is probably the worst

part in the second one. The first one, I didn't

realize how much was in there until I rewatched

it. So if I look up, you know, Pet Detective,

It tells me that it's on 10 out of the 74 streaming

services Which I knew it was on a few of them

like Netflix and Amazon video because I have

Amazon Prime at the moment not gonna keep it

for very long, but I have it for the moment and

I've watched it on Netflix and on there But Yeah,

that movies get crappy scores for ratings. I

don't really care. I enjoyed it but um where

is yeah so they i'm trying to see if there's

a thing for finding it anyways um it uh it told

me like the ones that it has for the first one

anyway i have yet to figure out how completely

that this app works but um Where's a shirt tune

in next week folks when Steve knows more about

this app hooks I Said tune in next week folks

when Steve knows more about this app Well, you

can also search by actor So lens of Washington

so like the hedgehog is in there he's not an

actor know the movie Yeah, I know fun with Dick

and Jane That's that's like one of my go -to

like fun movies That I just enjoy watching Here

we go when nature calls So it's available on

11 out of the 74 I better watch it soon. It's

on Amazon video It's on a lot of the other ones

too, but under the 11 out of the 74 But it's

not on some of the other big platforms. It was

on Hulu for a minute there Yeah, there's been

a lot of things that have been on Hulu for a

minute, and then they just immediately disappear

I've noticed that I wonder if it's like a rights

thing it most likely is yeah But yeah the oh

The sonic movies on Amazon Mm -hmm hmm. I wonder

if it's probably still theater, but Let's see

Now I'm just curious You could rent the movie

for 448 or buy it for 1848. Yeah No, thanks as

much as I like the and want to see Sonic that

I'll wait until it actually hits prime itself

before it's actually pretty good. I was quite

surprised at Jim Carrey's performance and The

the way that they portrayed Sonic the Hedgehog,

although Is it James Marsden? He's got It's actually

kind of funny because he He's constantly in these

like CG movies With like virtual characters Like

he was in hop yep He and he does a lot of weird

a lot of weird choices in movies But Yeah, it

it doesn't surprise me anyway, let's just say

that So moving on to the final jeopardy of the

night There's a 80s sci -fi documentary that

I became aware of They I don't know where I saw

it. I think it must have been shared on Twitter

somewhere But anyways, it's a four -hour Plus

retrospective of 80s sci -fi movies featuring

interviews with actors directors writers sci

-fi experts and composers It's called in search

of tomorrow 80s sci -fi documentary and it's

a Kickstarter And they pledged thirty nine thousand

four hundred thirty six and it's currently at

three hundred fifty two thousand four hundred

twenty with five days left in thirty seven hundred

backers. So basically and they've done other

projects similar to this with like horror and

some other different genres. But it says, sci

-fi fans, this is your chance to immerse yourself

in the world and mythos of 80s science fiction.

Our project combines a four hour plus epic documentary

with ultimate members only sci -fi community

to create an experience that delivers value from

the moment you become a backer. And so, yeah,

they have all this stuff that they're teasing

and all kinds of perks with it, but I'm gonna

link this in the the show notes, but the trailer

for it's pretty pretty epic In the sense that

it covers pretty much everything You know, you've

got alien you've got Arnold movies. You've got

Robocop you've got You've got Darth Vader you've

got Star Trek you've got you know the DeLorean

Spaceballs like pretty much anything that was

80s sci -fi Listed in there and in the trailer

as well as the the poster for it Very cool. I'm

looking forward to when this this drops because

it's I Don't know. It's it's iconic because of

all the the massive amount of different things

that came out over the 80s absolutely in the

sci -fi genre and We like our 80s and we like

our retro Yep here at the GC RN That's right

So yeah, it's I I'm really looking forward to

seeing how this turns out when it's it's done

It looks really really interesting and If it

ever is released to you know, the general public

I've mentioned before there's only certain things

I can back because of funds It's gonna be interesting

to see if it does get released, you know, for

a full release after the funding and after all

the backers get their rewards. One of my projects

that I'm absolutely happy, I talked about this

last week, I think, that is back on Kickstarter

is the White Dragon, the Legend of the White

Dragon. This is from Bat in the Sun. This is

Jason David Frank, you know, Tommy Oliver. They

have made their backing they wanted to get 100

grand They're at two hundred and forty four thousand

five hundred eighty two dollars currently if

they hit the two hundred and fifty thousand dollar

mark That we will get an extended series so right

now we're at a mini series and I don't know if

that consists of four episodes five episodes

six episodes, whatever But if we hit that 250

K mark We will get an extended series It's got

two weeks to go 14 days and it's got 2 ,567 backers

so far Nice and it's basically it's kind of like

what we've always wanted as adults It's basically

an adult version of you know, it's it's Tommy

Oliver. It's the Power Rangers characters He

is, you know supposed to be the white dragon

and there's this new villain dragon prime that

they're going to be doing or using or whatever.

So it's this whole original story with Power

Rangers characters and it looks really, really

good. So nice. Very happy about that. Yeah. So,

I mean, other than that, I don't really have

anything else to tease. No, I don't think so.

I'll say this folks look for some 80s psychedelic

and I know technically it was 70s psychedelic,

but look for some 80s retro from us pretty soon

So very very cool. That's that's coming up Yeah,

it's that's a that's a project. I'm working on.

It's a work in progress. It's a work. Yes Yes

Why, yes. Oh man. Yep. Um, I don't think there's

anything else though. I will say if people are

looking and not necessarily, I'm not, sadly,

I'm not being paid for this. Not that whatever.

Again, I've mentioned how I've been listening

to other podcasts since I'm not really doing

podcasting the way I need to do it for myself.

With the technology and all that There's been

several things that I've been listening to and

man if I don't love Michael Rosen bombs inside

of you I've listened to two or three episodes

the main one I listened the first one I listened

to was when Stephen Amell returned Poor dude

had a panic attack in the middle of the podcast

came back and finished it. Yes Hmm. Yeah, I'll

I'll send it to you offer So the poor dude, Steven

Amell had a panic attack while they were talking

on Rosenbaum's podcast and they did some sort

of break in editing or whatever. And he came

back and finished it like, I don't know, a week

or so later or whatever it was. Um, but yeah,

it was really, really out there. And I don't

even know how I got, I think it was one of my

Google feed things. You know how most of these

entertainment websites, Oh my God, Stephen Amell

has panic attack on podcasts. And I'm like, uh

huh. So I listened to that episode. I listened

to the episode with Michael had Grant Gustin

on the flash. Um, I think his most recent episode

is Dave Bautista, who is an actor slash wrestler.

He had Brendan Ralph on. I listened to that.

That was interesting. So very, very cool. Check

that out. I guess if people would like to check

out the rest of the stuff that we create obviously

there or they can check out all social media

pages But probably the best place for them to

go would be geekcastradio .com Ton of old content

there ton of new stuff coming Slight website

revamp coming in the near future and Totally

different logo revamp. We're gonna take a whole

new aesthetic For the the future being that We're

his, um, I will send you the inside of you website

it out. It's on Apple podcasts. It's on Spotify.

It's on whatever, but Dave Bautista was the most

recent one as of a week ago. As of right now,

the most recent one, your favorite, your favorite

Apple buddy, Justin Long. I love those old Apple

versus PC commercials. So yeah, Justin Long from.

you know die hard for uh what was that dodgeball

um been in a bunch of stuffs yeah uh he actually

had Beverly D 'Angelo on uh number uh last month

she was the mom in Christmas Vacation well she

was the mom on all of the vacation movies true

uh Michael Rooker was on a About a month ago

like listening to Rosenbaum. I've actually always

wanted us to interview him at one point or another,

but it just has never really happened. But I

like listening to his show. It's a pretty cool

show. Nice, nice. So until next time, we have
