Avengers Endgame, Arrowverse Elseworlds, and 2019 Geek

Neil Ross here and it's time to get altered and

get geeky on altered geek with Steve Megatron

Hello and welcome to altered geek I'm your host

Steve Megatron Phillips and in this episode of

the podcast Well, it's the last one of 2018 Yeah,

it's kind of crazy, isn't it? So yeah, we're

breaking down the the final episode of the podcast

for the year By this point you should have heard

a variety of different Pre -recorded podcasts

for December and part of November which they

were all recorded pretty much in November I've

been taking some time away, and I finally recovered

from my cold After a five -day fast kind of took

care of the whole thing, so I'm Feeling energized

not coughing so everything's great plus a lot

of new ideas for the podcast going in 2019 I

have a Ton of submissions for guest hosts in

2019 Through a couple of things particularly

podcast guests calm to kind of name drop there

And so you'll be hearing some people that are

featured on that website as well as our regular

roundtable of people on GeekCast Radio and This

Week in Geek. So that's pretty much how everything

is going to go down in 2019. There's going to

be a lot of different content, a lot of diversity,

a lot of brand new topics, a lot of different

conversations, a lot of voices. So it's going

to be interesting to say the least. And there's

going to be Kind of sporadic releases on on some

of the the guests Conversations these episodes

will still be out on Fridays So really nothing's

gonna really change all that much So yeah without

further ado we're gonna cover a variety of topics

I'm gonna hit the grab bag of mail that and conversations

that I've been having on Twitter that are kind

of interesting as well as my thoughts on Avengers

Endgame and Crisis on Infinite Earths, and a

few other topics, so let's get right down into

it. So, Avengers Endgame, yeah. So anyways, Avengers

Endgame was actually, quite honestly, much better

than what I thought it was gonna be as far as

the trailer. Infinity War definitely felt like

a first part of a saga and Endgame is supposedly

gonna take place like some six months later or

a year later something like that Anyways, you

get to see at the beginning of the trailer you

get to see Tony Stark speaking into a recording

of his Iron Man helmet basically saving a vlog

for Pepper in the event that he gets back or

the ship gets back, he's piloted some ship in

general, it doesn't really say, towards Earth

and the food's run out and the oxygen runs out

in like 12 hours or something, he says. So I'm

kinda thinking that we're gonna get a save in

that you're probably gonna see Tony obviously

is going to survive, but you might see Ant -Man

actually have something to do with that. Being

that he shows up in the trailer and Steve Rogers

is in his full cap get -up except for the helmet.

And Black Widow's with him and he's like, when

was this recorded? And she's like, he's right

out front. And so you get to see that. And various

of the characters are all in disarray and in

various Remote parts, so I'm kind of intrigued

on how they're gonna take this movie Obviously

all the contracts are pretty much off the table

at this point for the original Avengers who are

all gonna be back in this And then you get to

see Hawkeye back, of course more or less dressed

as Ronan I'm intrigued to see what they do with

this and how they reset and how they reboot and

kind of bring people back and fix things and

Screw with the timeline of the first Avengers

film and kind of take it back where it all began

It'll be interesting And then moving on to crisis

on infinite earth or more or less the elseworlds

crossover to begin with I really enjoyed this

one. This is probably by far the best crossover

we've had for the CW Arrowverse so far. I did

love how Barry and Oliver basically body swapped.

They basically looked like themselves. They took

on the mannerisms and the body traits of their

alternate superhero personas. Meaning that Barry

took on Oliver's conditioning and double -jointedness

and all of his scars and everything else and

Oliver took on Barry's speed, his speed force,

his time, just everything associated with his

character and it was funny to learn or see them

both learning how to use each other's powers

and trying to grasp with being a hero in that

element and then them meeting each other, getting

locked up in the vault and then having to go

to Earth 38 with Supergirl and they of course

recognized who they were and then you get to

see Superman in Lois Lane and so it was really

cool seeing all that and then they go back to

The arrow verse and it makes them quip about

the legends and then in the legends episode you

get to see why You know the timelines all screwed

up there, too, so they're kind of There yeah,

it's it explains why they won't be there in the

crossover, but anyways you get to see them going

against the the the anti -monitor you get to

see John Wesley ships 1990s Barry Allen flash

come in in the part two In full get up and everything

and it was really cool to see him in there. Although

it was short -lived Unfortunately, which I'm

really sad about because I thought that we would

actually get something there And then you can

see bat woman And they kind of explained that

that Bruce is off somewhere alluding to almost

that it could be The Dark Knight rises Bruce

Wayne Alluding to it. It's not really they don't

really they kind of hop skip and jump around

it You get to see the little statue thing that

they would pop the head up and press the button

for the 1960s Batman to go to the Batcave. And

then you get to see Bane's mask from The Dirt

Knight Rises. So there were nice little Easter

eggs throughout the episode as well. And you

get to see Arkham, the battle in Arkham. and

Batwoman was pretty cool in there although the

only thing that kind of irked me about it was

when she you know they would do the battle scenes

or the cutscenes to her and then do the the batarang

and everything it screamed Joel Schumacher's

Batman and Robin as far as like the cheese level

on that and it kind of rubbed me wrong I don't

know how it worked with you guys, but it just

rubbed me wrong in that section But I think that

it was she was pretty strong as a character overall

just from what we got And I would possibly watch

it I just don't know I it I really want Batman

in there in the CW arrow verse I don't care about

the DC universe although if they're gonna bring

Batman it would be on the DC universe app because

it would be a different form of media. I don't

think they can physically put him on cable television

according to the Disney -Fox acquisition because

Fox owns the TV rights for Batman. And also the

fact that he's going to show up in Gotham this

season. They're promising that Batman is coming.

Even the poster says the Dark Knight is coming

Because they're supposed to jump like by the

end they're gonna do a ten years later thing

showing, you know, all the villains and all the

heroes and their various Personas and styles,

you know having penguin being overweight and

monocled and You know, you're gonna you know,

James Gordon with the mustache and the you know

commissioner look and you're gonna see all that

because it's gonna be jumped like 10 years in

the finale which is kind of a cheese cop -up

too um being that it's gonna be a 12 part season

five basically doing you know no man's land so

yeah anyways back to the the else worlds um It

was also interesting because John Wesley Shipp,

his Barry Allen says to Diggle, he's like, John,

where's your ring? Which hearkens back to when

Diggle originally showed up and everybody basically

thought that he was going to be John Stewart

Green Lantern. And honestly, at this point, I

would love to see him become Green Lantern because

he does have that military background. He does

have the will of steel on the show. I mean, on

occasion, he doesn't, but as a whole, I can see

him playing the role really well. And he wouldn't

even need the, you know, the face mask or anything

else. I mean, everybody sees him anyway, so.

Give him the green lantern suit the ring and

then you know the green eyes like he is and in

Justice League Unlimited and in just make it

that I mean it would be fun, and it would kind

of switch things up for his character and give

him more of something to do in the show, but

I Really enjoyed what they did with elseworlds,

and then they switched it in the third part Well

at the end of the second part, but in the third

part made them Basically just totally mishmashed

everything that changed all the heroes changed

all the villains that show up anyway and There's

a gamble that comes at some point with Oliver

talking to the anti -monitor About you know the

timeline and not letting Barry and and or the

flash and Supergirl getting incinerated by by

slowing time to stop Dugan and or deegan and

It doesn't quite tell the payoff on it some people

have thinking that Oliver's half -sister is gonna

end up taking care of The the green arrow roll

and taking over for him, and then he'll die But

I don't think so because they renewed all the

shows for another season on the CW. So it's not

going to happen that way. Although they may play

with some, you know, it is the Arrowverse, so

they kind of jump around with time travel a lot.

But it did tease at the end, when they reset

everything, that crisis on Infinite Earths, and

they had this character look like Cort of Owls,

basically, kind of character, with a mask and

everything. Total cheese and creep factor, but

they said crisis on infinite earths coming fall

2019 So that's gonna be something totally new

to check out to on the arrow verse Which may

also lead to very disappearing in that crisis

that they've been teasing since season one of

the flash so And it may have something to do

with legends Maybe that's gonna you know crash

and burn at some point, and then they'll have

Gideon in you know the flash museum or hidden

in that that compartment of star labs but I guess

time will tell so gonna move on to some listener

comments as well as things that have been going

on in Twitter right after this hey this is Steve

blue and you are listening to the geek cast radio

network So, I had to finish out 2018. I just

had to. Had to finish it out with some various

things that were conversed about on not only

email, but the Twittersphere, but going back

to the end of November, because we haven't had

a up -to -date episode recording since then.

I wanted to kind of cover everything that hasn't

been covered that's kind of interesting, but

not necessarily timely. So Scanner51 sent in,

hey guys, something came up between my sister

and I. She's a high school teacher, 10th grade,

recently told me a story about several students

in her class that she had to told to just Google

it and receive several blank looks they didn't

know how to Google. But it got me thinking on

why they didn't know how to Google it. You would

think they would, these younger generations grew

up on it, but they don't Google anymore apparently,

is what she says, or he says about her students.

All they do now is ask Siri for information,

which really isn't that much different, although

they don't have to type. And I'm kind of getting

into a little bit of this in a minute, but it

has to do with the smart speakers. He continues,

As far as the asking Siri or Google or Alexa

or all those things We recently just got a Google

home mini Well, actually my wife did for her

birthday. I'm getting one for Christmas. I'm

fairly certain Or, by the time this comes out,

I will know for certain, but I'm sure I'll post

it on Twitter when I do. But anyways, we've had

this thing hooked up, and my boys are already

familiar with it, my wife's already familiar

with it. We have a friend that has an Amazon

Alexa, and you would say, Alexa, blah blah blah

blah blah, and you know, you can ask it questions,

you can do this and that, and it would just do

it. I will say the Alexa is probably by far the

Amazon Echo. Alexa is the AI on it. But the Amazon

Echo is probably the most advanced as far as

capabilities and functions and questioning and

everything else. Although Google is short or

close behind and slowly closing in on that gap.

I would say Siri is like number three out of

them at this point, and Cortana is probably number

four. I don't know anybody that even uses it.

I hear a rumor that Microsoft is changing the

name again to something else. But I don't even

know of anybody that uses Siri unless they're

on an Apple. So, suffice it to say, we have a

Google Home Mini and the... Boys were having

fun asking questions, you know, and if you ask

something in a different way it'll answer it

differently like My boys asked at my father -in

-law's house because they have like six of them

around there Like one per room or something.

He he asked what does a dolphin sound like and

it does the And then he goes to another room

and he says how does a dolphin talk and it does

the You know something like that and so you get

totally two totally different answers depending

on how you ask the question and and in our house

we asked it to play music or Which it'll play

on Google play music you don't get to specify

unless you sign up and so on and so forth, but

So if we do that or you can do like measurement

Changes or you can ask it questions or you can

have it set sleep timers or you can have it,

you know, there's a variety of things you can

do and it syncs to your phone with your calendar

and everything else. Well, I'll probably do it

as a gag when I get mine on the podcast, like

just ask it questions and just see what happens.

But anyways, I think these younger generations

know how to Google. There may be the few exceptions

that don't. Because I just I think that Nobody

really thinks of it as Google. I think they think

of Google of you know in the sense of the company

and and That's their name for search whereas

we had things like You know go to Yahoo. Go to

Lycos go to Alta Vista, you know go to You know

all these these other Variety ones. I don't even

know how many of those are still around now.

I know yahoo is but But it's a different generation

and you know We we had to dig through directories

and in message boards and everything else to

find things that we wanted when we were first

starting out on the internet in the 90s and Or

or the the you know, the alt news boards and

everything else. This generation has grown up

beyond where we did. I mean, we were advancing

into the Yahoo, Google, you know, era when when

we were in the early 2000s. And now you've got

they're all mainstream. Now it's the AI. Now

it's asking the questions. Now you press the

button on your phone or you press it on your

your smart home device and it just does it for

you. And it's almost like this spell check. It's

almost like spell check when you type a text

message on the website. They have this thing

called grammar, or grammar or something like

that, now that you can add to your browser and

you can add it to various devices or whatever.

And it will literally spell check and grammar

check everything you type. So it's almost like

the spell check on your phone and it's it's almost

I feel like it's almost dumbing us down Having

all this AI that does everything for us and we

become so reliant on it that We're not Held to

the same standard we were like 20 years ago and

I get it technology changes and things happen

and and you kind of have to move ahead with those

things but On a basic level, you should still

know how to spell. You should still know basic

grammar. I have issues with commas, and that

was an issue that I've had since being in grade

school, high school, middle school. I could never

get anybody to actually answer it correctly for

me, and I think that it's... And I still have

problems with it even today and although I am

learning a lot of it because I use those those

apps and those You know the thing like grammar

because I want to know Why is it wrong? Like

I for me like there's this incessant need to

know why and So I guess you know if you're using

it for the right reasons I guess it's great,

but if you're using it just to kind of Oh, it

does it for me. I don't I don't need to know

Then it's bad Because you're just you're relying

on this technology because you're not wanting

to put the time and the effort into learning

something new and so I think that you know with

the shorthand texting I think it's just because

people are lazy and They don't know how to spell

the stuff. I See a lot of it I see people that

are that are in the corporate world that type

on their social media all the time and misspell

everything Like or misspell specific words and

I'll catch it it drives me bonkers not saying

that I don't misspell things from time to time

or I don't shorthand things but If it's the same

type of thing over and over it just it kind of

rubs me wrong when I see it Now same thing with

PSAT. Now, when I was in school, it wasn't mandatory

to take the PSAT. And honestly, I didn't do so

well at it. I don't do well at tests. But if

you sit me down, ask me, write a paper, or do

something in that fashion, I would destroy you

compared to doing a test. I was never really

good at test taking. I must still not be because

if I was, I think that 90 % of the interviews

I've done, I probably would have got the job.

So again, it's a test. It's just learning how

to maneuver it and kind of go beyond it. But

as far as the Scantron thing, it's not rocket

science. Like, I mean, again, kids today don't

really know... Some of that, but it could be

just that school could just be those kids. Maybe

they're just used to not having to fill out paper

We used to color in dots and color in like the

the interiors of like the a the e the d you know

p o Any of those letters that had something with

you know just used to bubble it in when we were

kids I mean I still do it from time to time when

I'm bored but It's not it's not really that hard

The address I got nothing for you there, man.

I got nothing My own son is six and almost knows

his address so I don't know Maybe they just didn't

teach it to their kids or they moved a lot. I

really don't know that's just That yeah, I'm

not gonna even try And then it scanner 51 mentions

the Titans update saying that, you know, Doom

Patrol is great, you know, the Morrison run of

it, you know, he's talking about the Titans,

which, by the way, I saw that there was a teaser

for Robin Dick Grayson versus Batman coming up

in the finale, so if that actually is Bruce Wayne

Batman and not some kind of an imposter or thing

that's supposed to look alike or something or

a scarecrow thing or whatever, That would possibly

get me to jump ship if he was gonna be a part

of the show That's the only way I would tune

in So and then moving on to His other post That

he sent in he says is always great show a few

episodes ago You'd mentioned or you'd had movie

revolt Dan on which was I think episode 301 or

302 and so 10 episodes ago and he says you guys

were talking collecting comic covers and he says

I wanted to jump in on this one these days I

mainly do digital but on occasion I will buy

single issues I did buy a few issues of Action

Comics 1000 really can't wait for Detective Comics

1000 but aside from that I do buy cool looking

covers not for value just based on looks alone

I was buying a lot of the female hero comic covers,

and I still do from time to time. The grand plan

was to decorate one of my daughter's walls with

covers, but then we moved and that's been put

on hold for now. What I do now is check for local

cons, see who's going to be there, buy their

books, and then get them signed. I don't resell

the signed books. I like looking at them. Get

dozens of signed ones, some of my faves here."

So he drops like an older DC comics with the

older logo. It looks like a number five or something

Batman and Robin With Frank Miller lawyer and

Jim Lee really awesome looking cover. We've got

the bats on it Then he's got DC Batman number

700 again cool cover then he's got Batman and

Robin eight mayor city under the the newer logo

on issue 17 And then he's got the new 52 Batman

detective comics number 27 the mega sized issue

and I've collected a lot of comics mostly for

the cover there I don't really get into the stories

anymore but I can definitely see I've physically

gone and bought comics just for the coverage

before because they're like little mini posters

if you just have them on display He says in fact

next summer I am entering my Batman stuff into

adults hobby competition at my local county fair

and some of my signed bat books will be part

of the display I chose Batman because My wife

thinks I can win if everything works out. I plan

on doing it for the next few years Star Wars

Superman comics Batman Superman he says great

show keep up the great work Thank you as always

for tuning in scanner 51. We definitely appreciate

it and love the the enthusiasm and the dive into

the comics and the bat realm as always. So I'm

going to take a pivot here to go to some of the

social media aspects of things that I've been

having fun conversing about. Now that I've mentioned

the whole thing with the Google Home, I saw this

blog post the other day. It was more of a social

media post. But this Mark Guberti on Twitter

has an insane amount of followers. Looks younger

than me. Not sure how old this guy is. But anyways,

he's a public speaker, content marketer, author.

And he posted... something of ten reasons, you

know or or five reasons why every teenager needs

to have a blog and I was kind of like Because

When I was a kid well when I was a teenager Which

wasn't really that long ago. I mean, it's half

my life ago at this point Which is kind of disturbing

when you think about it 16 years ago 16 Wow Anyways,

he says, you know the why they need to have a

blog With the dawn of social media and blogging,

it's now more possible than ever for a teen to

be successful. And I'm not quite impressed with

the dude's website, but obviously he's doing

something right because he posted this like four

years ago, and I just now saw it. And he's got

a Facebook group, a success group, and all this

other stuff. Anyways, he says blogging gives

teens something good to do and blogging makes

them feel more significant, allows them to get

into the real world sooner, more flexibility

on schedule and it's a unique experience. I did

it a long time ago on this thing called LiveJournal.

I'm not sure how many people remember LiveJournal,

but it's super old. And the funny thing was it

was founded in 1999. I remember signing up for

this years ago, as did my wife. And we used to

write our blogs or write notes or whatever through

it. And it had to have been when I was like 16,

17, I used it, maybe even 15. Despite the fact

I ran a Dragon Ball Z website and a Transformers

website, I still somehow found time to do this.

It was like my own version of a journal or something.

I really wasn't sure what to do with it other

than what I kind of did on social media, which

is, you know... It's kind of what people did

on the original, you know social media startup

they you know, I I ate this for lunch I did this

today blah blah blah, you know, it was basically

like an echo chaper And I more or less stated

this on Twitter that You know when I was a teenager

we had this thing called live journal in myspace

You know two areas where we complained into an

ether and no one really heard us. I mean myspace

they did but Still, I mean, that's kind of where

a lot of people learn how to code HTML was you

had to code your stupid signature box or any

kind of graphics you wanted, which I would create

from scratch. And you had to do that in order

to customize it. And I refused to join Facebook

for years, even though I knew it was around when

I was on MySpace. But then I eventually jumped

ship. I said also, but I also ran websites for

Transformers Emulation Dragon Ball Z. So yeah,

I'm a geek. And then Danny Maness like jumps

in and he who's a, you know, script consultant

kind of guy. And he says, when I was a teenager,

we had this thing called an actual freaking journal

made of paper that you wrote in and hid in your

room because no one gave a crap about anything

you were thinking, doing or feeling. You just

dealt with it yourself and showed it to your

therapist 15 years later. This is this post just

made me feel old and I said, yeah I feel old

by today's standards and I'm only 32 still prefer

to write on paper overall and self analyze my

own thoughts and You know paper is probably the

best window to your thoughts at the time. But

yeah, I mean I totally get it and it I Don't

know like it just it makes you feel old when

you start looking at stuff like that. You're

you're just kind of like Wow Like, I use the

podcast, I use Geekcast Radio, it's kind of my

soapbox now, and I use Twitter. I mean, that's

kind of my outlet. Like, I don't really write

a, per se, journal. But, you know, that's kind

of neither here nor there. Yeah, it's just, it's

crazy when you think about it. And then, the

other day we had a podcast, which was new. And

I really, I really don't like the name, but that's

more so because it's just, it's disturbing. I

said this comment too on Twitter the other day

that I was glad that we were the first to cover

and review Beast Wars and Beast Machines in 2010

on the Beast Unleashed podcast on Geek Kissed

Radio. Meaning that I don't have competition

now too. I can sit back as others give it their

own spin now having already said my piece. Somebody

else was saying, you know, always amusing to

see the youngsters retreading trod ground, although

it can be annoying when they act like they own

the place as they walk by your well -marked house.

I took it in stride. It doesn't bother me as

much as it probably would have years ago. Years

ago, I probably would have pissed me off. Seeing

somebody else basically do what I just did. But

anyways, the podcast is called... Beastiality?

It's the premier source of Transformers Beast

Wars, or as they're often called, Beasties. It's

based out of Canada and they're also using SoundCloud.

I have nothing against Canada, it's more so the

SoundCloud. They're trying to make their hashtag

beastiality a thing. It's just... It's kind of

disturbing I Would have chosen a different name

for sure this is like the third podcast to try

and retread our ground and and honestly like

I Think that we did fairly well for what we did

at the time and granted these people are probably

I haven't even listened to it yet So I'm not

really passing judgment on it. It's Just the

name is disturbing enough on its own Their cover

at least doesn't look like total garbage like

some other ones I've seen try and retread. So

I will say SoundCloud does suck though. Having

used like eight different services for hosting,

for podcasts, it's not where I would go at all.

And finally rounding out the Twitter war, as

I'm putting it, is... Is I don't know if you

guys notice this but when when I'm sitting on

Twitter and You're looking for you know, just

whatever it may be geek news, whatever And you

keep seeing these websites coming up with Garbage

articles and you know that they're blatantly

garbage Does it drive you bonkers Because it

does for me. And what I'm saying about that whole

thing is when you see clickbait articles, not

just the ones where they're talking about certain

aspects of a show or they're reviewing something

but the straight -up garbage posting it just

it drives me mad like it's irritating enough

That I'm tempted to start name -dropping A lot

of these these websites and more or less just

totally spoiling the whole thing So I made this

comment just kind of generically because I saw

this saying clickbait news no matter the industry

needs to stop Especially when it's cryptic wording

or rumors or he said she said scenario pertaining

to entertainment or whatever There are two lines

of information on an opinion and the rest expounding

the two lines and the general consensus is people

agree. I said I'm so tired of seeing articles

like that. I'm tempted to do a new version of

the 10 minute blitz where I run through all that

news and tell what information is a waste and

which is relevant, maybe even telling which sites

post click bait to news ratios. because it's

just gotten out of hand. Point in case, there's

a particular site, which I'm trying very hard

not to name drop, although they're all pretty

bad with it anymore. Like, if you go to, you

know, for instance... Comic book com which is

owned by CBS So it's almost kind of not really

a good review site for anything CBS owns because

it kind of gives everything that CBS owns a blatantly

good review point -and -case Discovery, although

if you look anywhere else on the net like it's

it's pretty much bombed on a lot of those sources

I'm not saying it's a terrible series. I'm just

saying in general The consensus is is that it's

it's sloppy So we'll see how season two turns

out But what I'm saying is they had an article

and I'm trying to find it I did have it pulled

up. I just I lost it But they had an article

where it was the most clickbaity crap in the

world of Something with with this superheroes

it had to do with Margot Robbie revealing whether

or not she's really Harley Quinn well of course

she's not she's an actress so there's this whole

like one pager literally going back and forth,

laying it up, talking about all this other crap,

you know, it goes, you know, her briefly commenting

on whether or not her Harley Quinn role in DC

is more than just a role, and then it jumps to

the Dark Knight, you know, and talking about

people who played various, you know, characters

and roles, and then it goes to, you know, taking

part of an interview that she was doing, and

then she says, And mind you, this is quoted,

this is one line that she said, and then there's

like an entire article surrounding this one line.

I am not Harley Quinn, but I play Harley Quinn.

Why? Like, why is this garbage? Like, write real

articles. Like, I just don't get it. Like, we

have so much out there that's like, decent. Like

why just I honestly I honestly don't know why

but it's so so Stupid So like what are you guys

thoughts on clickbait articles do they drive

you nuts like they bother the crap out of me

so What is your thoughts on it? Like I really

want to know But that's the kind of stuff you

can kind of expect from heroic Hollywood When

they're not having you know things like production

rap here's a photo or you know director explains

why blah blah blah like director James Wan explains

why Aquaman must come before Aqualad because

dirty's you know Aquaman like I You know It's

another one of those stupid articles like it

just for that reason alone I Had I Had to unfollow

Their whole site just because it's its majority

of their stuff is like that like I've switched

other reputable sources that don't do that as

much And it's it's been so much nicer So yeah

Yeah, it's it's just I don't know I can't I can't

deal with that anymore So on a later note I'm

gonna go over to a TV article and that is it's

a couple weeks old at this point, but Jeffrey

Dean Morgan is making his way back to Supernatural

for the upcoming 300th episode, which they don't

say why Or how he's going to return, but he hasn't

been back in a while And we all know that their

their monumental episodes can be all kinds of

crazy Because their 200th episode they had like

Some kind of a play, you know going on of the

whole Winchester thing so You know they they

had him. You know he's been off the show for

11 years I mean season 2 finale all hell breaks

loose part 2 was when he escaped the open gate

to hell and helped his boys kill yellow eyes

and then You know he he went to heaven then it

says His death which occurred in the season 2

opener in my time of dying when he sacrificed

himself to save Dean Yeah, so I'm wondering if

he's gonna be back for a little bit or if he's

just gonna be back for that episode But they

know that the the Supernatural 300 episode is

titled Lebanon Which will air Thursday February

7th, my guess he's gonna redeem and he's gonna

pull Dean Away from Michael from the alternate

earth But that's just my thoughts on it, but

I'm excited that he's coming back. I think I

think that's really awesome Plus I feel like

we never got like the proper closure for that

character and I'm kind of excited for it to be

honest so I That's that's really really the only

thing that's gonna be hooked at this point like

I could be done with the show today Like it's

not a huge deal to me on that front So the last

thing I'm gonna cover is what are some things

that you guys are looking forward to for 2019?

What are some things that? You're hoping as far

as like TV movies games, you know Are there games

that you want to see revived or their TV series

you want to see revived? I Mean we've got a ton

going on With 2019 as far as like streaming services

coming out. So like are there specific ones you're

gonna kind of flip -flop between? Are you going

to subscribe to all of them? Are you going to

cancel some and subscribe to another? I mean,

what do you guys foresee in 2019 or predictions,

honestly? Because I think that that would be

really cool to see what predictions you guys

have for 2019 in general. We'll probably do a

predictions episode with with Mike powers once

the new year hits and everything I will say that

the geek cast radio urine review episode will

be out Probably right around the time that this

episode airs So so be sure to tune into that

Hope you guys enjoyed the Christmas episode of

the podcast And in found a lot of entertainment

with that 12 days of geekmas as it were But yeah,

I'm I'm excited for 2019 and I hope you guys

have enjoyed This bumpy rollercoaster of 2018

with geek cast radio and an altered geek as we

go into year seven of the show Next year and

geek cast radio hits year 10 It's crazy Mean

I've been podcasting since late 2005 or 2006

2007 but The network has been quasi going if

you count all things transformers since 2008

But it officially launched June 1st 2009 so Let

me know what you guys think sound off and Yeah,

if you could follow us on iTunes, if you need

help finding the podcast, there's going to be

a lot of new ways to find it on the new Geekcast

Radio website when that launches. I'm so geeked.

I'm working on that pretty hard at the moment,

and so is TFG1 Mike. So we should have a brand

new interface, brand new website, easier ways

to find the subscribe area on the podcast. So

if you're unable to find out how to subscribe

on a variety of platforms, there'll be a one

page for every show with all of their subscription

links. So that'll be super convenient for everybody

involved, ourselves included. You can find the

podcast on Spreaker, you can find it on iTunes,

Google Play or Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts,

Stitcher, TuneIn, iHeartRadio. Spotify. I'm working

on Pandora, so we'll see what happens there.

They're a little slow on the trigger, so... Anyways,

have a happy new year, get altered, get geeky

with the Altered Geeks. See you next time.
