Geek Power Rankings Debut

Hi, this is Kyle Higgins and you're listening

to the Geek Patch Radio Network. You are now

on the inside of what I like to call the circle

of trust. We are all connected in a great circle

of life. You know something, Bert? What? I think

you and I are going in circles. It feels like

we're going in circles. The circle is now complete.

When I left you, I was but the third. Now I am

the last. Because it's a circle. Yeah, we heard

about the circle. Yeah, that's what a million

would say. Hi, this is Chuck. This is Greg. And

this is Dan, and we are Talking in Circles, brought

to you by the UCAS radio network, the podcast

that's number one in the power rankings for Talking

in Circles. At least, I hope you are. hoping

for it. We are having a little new idea for this

week. We always try to do different and new things

and this week we are doing geek power rankings

and you may be asking what are geek power rankings

and that's a good question because we're still

kind of figuring that out ourselves but the idea

is taking something like the NFL power rankings

and What's trending and Twitter and combining

it into one figuring out? What are the biggest

things right now in geek culture and counting

it down? So we'll be working that out trying

to figure out what's number one till down to

what's number ten So that should be a lot of

fun. We'll be getting to that shortly But before

we get to all that how's the week been going

for you guys pretty horrible? I've been have

been pretty sick this week. I apologize if I

sound nasally tonight at all is Question does

your sickness at all relate to the Dolphins loss?

It may or may not I Thought it was like this

allergy thing at first I still don't really know

but I had a pretty nasty head cold and Still

kind of stuffy and everything, but I do feel

a lot better, but actually missed like two days

of work this week So is this transmittable by

podcast? Yes I'm gonna wear one of those masks

you see like people wearing all the time in like

Asia and whatnot so yeah that'll help you or

maybe Bane's mask you ever think that's why you

wore that he's just really health conscious that's

you know people well he is pretty fit I think

he had a touch of laryngitis there too Apologize

if I sound nasally, but I'll do my best to perhaps

disguise my voice Let's just make the podcast

fun even later when we get into the next episode

of unknown. So Yeah, I probably won't even sound

like the character. Who the hell is that some

new character? Very nice very nice, but Greg.

How's your week been going pretty good. I saw

Mario this morning, which was pretty interesting

Mario No, not Mario Lopez Mario from the Super

Mario Brothers some random dude was walking down

the street as I was driving to work and He had

blue overalls on a red t -shirt and a red hat

and he had a mustache I'm not sure he was just

walking randomly down the street I'm not sure

if it was intentional if he was trying to look

like Mario from the video games or what but he

was like a spitting image of a real -life Mario

Hide your turtles and mushrooms which which don't

hide your mushrooms. I hate mushrooms. So let

them stop those out, please Yeah, I'm right there

with you mushrooms. Why would you eat a fungus?

I don't understand. There's a fungus among us

Very nice. Well, I had a pretty uneventful week

until this morning where I made the Illogical

choice to lock myself out of my apartment So

why'd you do that? Well, I thought I wanted adventure

in the morning, but basically I was walking outside

of my apartment and I locked my door and But

I didn't I locked it from the inside and I closed

it and right when I closed it I realized I don't

have my keys with me right now And I live on

the lowest level. So I'm like, well, I got a

couple options here I have a back when a back

door. So maybe that's open. Maybe I didn't unlock

it. And so I go back to check that's locked But

I also have a window. But the thing is, where

my apartment's located, it's next to a field

where people can see in. And so it's like a bunch

of people could see me going into this window.

So I had to prop open my window. Tried to climb

myself up this window into my apartment while

I'm sure I got a number of calls of someone trying

to break into my place because all you see is

myself like trying to lunge over this window

and It's right in the kitchen the kitchen tables

right there. So I got a crash course into Breaking

into my own apartment, which was nice So but

it was it was now, you know how to keep others

out by you trying to get in Yeah, I I ended up

luckily the window wasn't locked but now I know

to lock it the sad thing is Ended up going back

and realizing The door that I thought was locked

wasn't locked. I was just kind of opening it

in the wrong way. So it's like I did all that

for nothing. So it's like sorry to laugh at your

trouble. It was OK. And then I ended up being

late for work because I took control. I'll do

that. And traffic was bad. So it was just like,

yeah. And I had to make that call to be like,

yeah, I'm going to be running a little bit late.

I kind of locked myself out. So but yeah, it's

not like it has not happened before. And my wife

did it. Previously, so I guess we just need to

stop doing that so It made today fun, but I'm

actually really excited too because that's my

last really busy day at work tomorrow So I get

my life back and also big news in Baltimore light

I know big news in Baltimore Baltimore Orioles

you knew al East champions. So yeah Yeah, it's

it's an exciting time finally good sports news

in Baltimore. So it's been a while, but it's

an exciting time It's awesome. I didn't go to

the game myself I wish I did but it was just

it's been a lot of fun My wife just bought me

a Manny Machado Jersey, which I which is great.

I'm like, oh great. He's injured, but it's awesome

Oh, I didn't know that. I'm like, it's fine.

It's like he'll I mean he's coming back. He's

a great player. I can't wait. Oh, yeah, so That's

awesome. But yeah, it's I can't wait for the

playoffs to start. Hopefully. I mean, Orioles

got a good shot. I mean, they have a lot of injuries

and whatnot, but I'm looking forward to postseason

in Baltimore. It's been a while. The last time

they won the Ale East was 1997. And last time

they won it in Baltimore was 47 years ago. So,

you know, Baltimore has been waiting a while

for this. All right. But besides that, I also

I say I. don't have a life right now because

I'm working, but I did get a chance to read a

few things. A few weeks ago I talked about a

couple books. I don't know if you guys remember.

I picked them up. They're both image books. They're

called Deadly Class and East of West. Mm -hmm.

I remember you picking those up Yeah, and I finally

sat down and I I ended up going home the other

weekend and while my wife was driving I got a

chance because it's a three and a half hour drive

to read some so I ended up reading east of both

of them which is exciting because I wanted to

read some of my stuff that I got from comic -con

but I'm like Wait, I got to read the other stuff

first. It's only right I have like my own personal

cue of comics right now. So I think we all do

at this point exactly We buy but we don't always

read So, it's always easier to buy. Oh, it is.

It is much easier to buy. Yeah. So, I'll just

touch upon them briefly. And I'll actually first

talk about Deadly Class because the new issue

of it actually just came out this week. And to

give you a brief overview of it, like I said,

it's done by Image Comics. It's a comic that

is really interesting in a lot of different ways.

The premise of it is kind of out there, but not

completely. It's kind of hard to kind of describe,

honestly, at first. But its basic premise is

a class of high school students that are in the

school that's like an assassin school. But it's

not at all what you would expect. It takes place

in like the early 1990s and late 80s, basically.

It centers around this one kid who has had a

really troubled life. He's an immigrant. And

when he was coming over to the country, his parents

were killed. He basically was in foster home

and he was homeless. And during that time period,

basically, he's been trying to struggle to live.

And he ended up getting involved with this assassin

class. And it was like his only shot at living,

basically was to come to this class of the school

that trains these assassins or, you know, go

to jail and possibly get killed. On the streets,

so he ends up kind of getting into this world

and being in since this world a lot of really

colorful really strange characters I don't want

to say it's very emo ish because that's not I

think that's unfair because I think it's it's

realistic drama, but it feels like if the guy

who Wrote fear and loathing in Las Vegas wrote

a comic book. It could kind of be like that class

There's a lot of influences there. The art though

is fantastic. It's one of my it's a different

art style. It's very almost like Tim Burton -esque

in some ways. But it's a really interesting book.

It's really well written. It's kind of a comic

book. If someone told me, hey, I hate superheroes.

I think comic books are just about superheroes

and nothing interesting. I'd give them dead to

class and say, hey, this is actually a really

cool book with a cool concept that goes in some

unexpected directions because it really fleshes

out these characters who have had really struggled

lives. And it's all about like... Taking the

idea of high school and amping it up to even

higher levels because these kids aren't just

in high school They're in this high school full

of gangsters and assassins ninja like all these

people that have to keep up this rep about being

badasses and if they in whatnot and it goes through

all these different ideas and I Pick up the first

volume and I read through it in about a few hours

and it was fantastic Maybe not even a few hours,

but it was just really good. I would highly recommend

it Chuck I don't know if you would like it a

great deal because it is it's pretty violent.

It deals with some drug use as well But Greg

you might enjoy it. I'm not sure but I think

it's a comic that's not for everyone Evil son

of a bitch in this podcast I know Chuck sensibilities.

I don't know if it'd be something you would like

that much because one of the characters I know

you really like characters that have a good moral

code or you know someone you know Those that

you could really respect and these characters

are all pretty horrible people Yeah, so, I don't

know if it's something that you would you would

find great enjoyment of but uh I would say maybe

pick up the first issue and see if you like it.

The first volume was only ten dollars and that's

why I do love How they get you hooked exactly

I was at the thing where they you know increase

it as the volumes go along exactly exactly So

it's I would say pick up it's only ten dollars

and I think it's it's well worth it See if you

check if you like it. I don't think I'm really

doing it justice, but it's A great read really

some cool ideas very original. I think that's

that's key. And honestly the next book I'm about

to talk about east of west is even more original

Again, it's done by it's done by image and I

gotta say something about images They they are

putting out a lot of great stuff recently. Yes,

they are So they they are really hitting it on

the park I mean they were kind of a company that

was going downhill for a while and but now they're

they're uh, they're kind of coming back on track

and at least Don't call it a comeback. I will

not call it years They have been but uh east

of west is written by jonathan jonathan hickman

drawn by nick i'm gonna butcher this name and

I apologize drugado, but uh, it Am I wrong am

I right? Do you know? No, I have no idea. Okay

But this is a comic book that I will, I'll be

honest, like I had to read the first issue of

it like a couple of times because I'm like, I

don't know if I'm completely getting everything

that's going on. I don't know if you ever read

one of those comics where it's like, that's that's

that low comic that I was reading. Exactly. And

honestly, when you know, you know what I do,

I go to the writer and I ask him about it. Clears

everything up. Yeah, you know what? I should

have done that I should have done that but I

did not the book of it I would kind of I kind

of called it Spaghetti punk instead of steam

punk because it's a combination of like Western

with dystopian future but But within that, it's

a story actually about the end of the world,

because it centers on the four horsemen of the

apocalypse. And the main horseman that it really

focuses on is the horseman of death. He's like

this main character, and he's made out to be

like a Clint Eastwood, the man with no name type

of character, very much designed by that. It's

interesting though, because he's a character

design, he's all white, like his entire body

is just completely white. And it takes place

in this like alternate type of universe where

The Civil War ended differently where the United

States ended up getting separated into different

factions. The San Francisco area ended up actually

being taken over by the Chinese. The Native Americans

took over their own section. So it ended a little

bit differently and it kind of changed everything.

So even though it's in the future, A lot of people

still kind of have the style of like the 1800s.

They dress that way. Like the bars are kind of

like that. So it's a combination of similar to

steampunk where it's like future and past technology

all in one. Same thing with east of west. So

it's a really intriguing universe with a lot

of complex ideas because basically it's just

it's the end of the world to ending. And it's

kind of getting to those events and what's going

to happen. And there's some the character of

death. Is bent on revenge and we don't really

know completely why yet But he's kind of going

around and enacting it on people who done him

wrong basically it's at the heart of it is very

much like a western story of revenge him going

around and Killing all these people and being

the archangel angel of death. Basically you can

do it. So I mean, that's one of my one criticisms

though. It's that That the main character there's

never any threat really because he's a you know,

he's the angel of death He's the earth. He's

the apocalypse Horseman of death and there's

never any threat of him Being harmed by any any

ways or anything like that, but it's not necessarily

about that But it's just one thing there are

some like action sequences where it's just like

well, he's kind of unstoppable So there's no

stakes here, but it builds it into it and it's

going some interesting directions I really at

the end of the day I'm like, I don't know if

I'm completely understanding everything that's

going on. I kind of like the framework. I like

the universe I really enjoy the art. I love the

covers of it because they're very simple They

kind of remind me a little bit of you remember

the civil war covers where? They would have like

civil war the bottom would be all white and the

top would just be the intimate an image It's

kind of like that but it's even simpler like

the first cover is just a guy in shadow with

a gun pointed it's kind of cool little like simplistic

design, but Again, highly recommend it. That

was a lot of fun. Like I don't know if I completely

got everything that was going on I'm like, I

think I understand this but not completely but

Again, you're looking for something new, different,

challenging, pick up east to west. So too high

recommend for me for this week. So it's been

a good week for comics, at least. Very nice.

Chuck, I know you've been reading a comic as

well that I think we touched upon a few weeks

ago. What have you been up to? Well, I mentioned,

I think it might have been last episode. when

we were down to visit for the convention, you

were nice enough to let me borrow the Feared

Self story, the seven -issue main miniseries,

and I think one of the tie -ins too. So I did

get a chance to read those before I jumped on

any of the stuff that I bought at the con, like

you. But yeah, I did get a chance to read the

Feared Self story. I gotta say, I liked it a

good deal, but I do have some issues with it,

which I'll get to a little later, but first I'll

point out that I thought it was very well written

by Matt Fraction, and the art was pretty awesome,

honestly. It was done by Stuart Eminen. Oh, I

love his stuff. Yeah, yeah, pretty cool. He's

the one that makes it worth reading all the Bendis

writing and the X -Men all -new, is that all

of them? Yeah, it's all -new X -Men. Yeah. Like

he, I don't know, he's the guy that I he is the

art that I think of when I think of like the

modern comic book style of art. Mm hmm. You know,

like like Eminem or Steve McNiven, who actually

did some covers on some of these two. But yeah,

really good art. It made it a pleasure to to

kind of read through and look through these books.

The story is a few years old. It's from 2011.

So, yeah, I'm a little bit. behind on everything

pretty much so right there with you i only read

it like a month before you did so yeah so everybody

probably listening is like yeah what the frig

we just read this story like a couple years ago

but um so i i mean i'm not gonna give too much

away about it in case anyone wants to read it

or anything but the basic gist is like there's

an asgardian character named the serpent you

know is that gonna probably relate to the midgard

serpent probably so yeah the they have this ancient

s guardian character named the serpent which

you know if you know about the the s guardian

lore you presume is like the midgard serpent

of their of their tails and everything and uh

he has this great power like odin and he's kind

of tied to this prophecy with thor that's kind

of destined to play out or whatever but uh odin

wants to Kind of forget about earth and prepare

his own people for for what's coming and this

big this big war and everything and of course

Thor has a problem with that and leads to some

father -son issues to say the least and Then

you know Captain America steps in there for a

minute and that part was freaking awesome. I

really liked the idea of Picking out like seven

powerful Marvel characters to kind of be to almost

be like the Heralds of this guy so to speak You

know how Galactus has his heralds like Silver

Surfer and Tear Axe and Fire Lord and all those

guys like this guy kind of has some heralds and

since he's Asgardian of course they all get hammers.

Different type of hammers and with these vast

powers. Would you say that it was hammer time

Chuck? It was it was it was more hammer time

than ever. and what were they were they legit

hammers like like legit hammer is like there

were two legit well you couldn't quit yeah that's

for sure yeah they had more hammers than ace

hardware that's for sure that was a lame ass

joke yeah because the hammer joke was so awesome

thank you thank you or the two legit to quit

that's what we do here Welcome to pun podcast.

Sometimes we hit a home run. Sometimes we strike

out deal with it It's actually a pun cast and

it's a pun cast fun cast. Yeah But yeah, I like

that idea and the characters that they chose

were pretty awesome actually and it was it kind

of reminded me of our discussion last week about

the Underused characters because they brought

some characters in that you really haven't heard

from in a while And, you know, Dan probably remembers

some of them. You're like, oh, yeah, I forgot

about that guy. That's kind of cool that they

included him. Yeah, I won't give him all the

way, but a couple of characters like Juggernaut

and a tumor and great gargoyle absorbing man

and stuff like that. Yeah. So, you know, pretty

cool because. I mean, I haven't heard anything

out of a tumor since like the Atlantis attack

story or whatever, which was like a long time

ago, but. I heard it's not a Tuma though. Yeah,

didn't Arnold say that? Yeah. Oh god. Is it sad

that I thought of that while I was reading it?

Like he he was on the page and I'm like it's

not a Tuma. I think I went for worst joke of

the night. So let's see who can beat it. I would

say that's the best joke of the day. Anytime

you can make a was it a kindergarten cop reference?

Yeah. So. But yeah, that was pretty cool. And

there's some other characters in there too, but

I wish I could kind of read all the little tie

-in stories because the cool thing is at the

end of the issue it tells you It kind of it kind

of goes to excel on you It's like if you want

to follow this guy Pick up this comic and if

you want to follow like what happens with this

guy pick up this comic So my god, that's really

cool, you know, and I wish I could pick up all

those little tie -ins But you know, there's like

hundred of them. So I don't think I'll be able

to I did have a couple of issues with it and

a couple of questions and stuff. And while I

was reading it, I really wanted to see where

Dr. Doom was during all of this. And I'm not

sure what was going on with him at this time.

I don't know if he was dead or alive. What was

he doing, Chuck? Probably polishing his armor,

I would say. I don't know. He was chilling like

a villain. Yes. Yes. That's it. That's an accurate

assumption. Now the lamest joke to me. Thank

you. I see where we're going with this. I have

to step up my game here. I accept that challenge.

Okay. But see, I don't know what was going on

with Doom at this time, but I'm thinking like

he's the one guy that I would think while all

this was going on, he would just not stand for

any of this and he'd be, you know, right in the

middle of everything going on. That's kind of

at least an explanation. I would have liked to

see like, you know, OK, you got teleported to

some weird ass dimension and he's not around.

But I would have liked to seen something out

of him. And I guess another another little issue

I had with it was you see Wolverine and a lot

of the panels because he's on the main Avengers

team. But I think honestly, he gets one line

in the whole seven issue series and. So I would

like to see more out of him and also Juggernaut,

who's one of the one of the heralds, I'll call

him, of this guy. And I know there's like an

uncanny X -Men crossover, which, you know, there's

probably more stuff with Juggernaut and Wolverine

going on in that story, which maybe I'll have

to pick up and read sometime or something. But

I think in the main miniseries, I would like

to see more out of them. And so and there's the

next part I want to talk about. I could give

a little bit of a spoiler alert. If you really

don't want to anything to spoil this story for

you, you can kind of skip ahead a minute. But

there's a really cool part towards the end of

this storyline about Tony Stark making the enchanted

weapons for all the Avengers. Do you remember

that, Dan? Yeah, I do. That that part was freaking

awesome. Like I thought that was like the coolest

idea. Honestly, though, I wish we got to see

more of it. I mean, it seemed like it didn't

really that make make that much of a difference

in the battle. Like they got it for a little

bit and there's a couple pages of the battle

and then it was like over Yeah, yeah, like there

was this huge lead -up to making these weapons

and this was gonna be like the Turning the tide

of the battle It didn't even seem to have that

that big of an impact. So I don't know I think

that's the issue with some of these stories that

with like it ends up just being such a a hauled

-out version of the story because then they have

the other stories that go into more detail and

it's it's hard to get a complete picture of everything

that's going on because so much is the tide like

to get the complete picture you need to read

all the different side side stories so it's like

they see the other angles so like then the main

story gets gutted because it has to yeah keep

certain things out so I think it's I think it's

a product of the big stories which I think is

sometimes why some people have issues with them

because it ends up feeling not complete a lot

of the time yeah that was my my main like point

with with reading this story because it's it's

just like i know like there was a lot of crossover

stuff in the 90s but it seemed like you could

read the main story and still get a really great

grasp on what was happening whereas it seems

like the last couple of of big crossovers in

marvel it's it's more like, you know, you're

missing a lot if you only read the main one.

And you're kind of lost and those gaps need to

be filled in. And it just kind of bummed me out

a little bit because it's like, yeah, I want

to fill in those gaps, but I don't want to buy

all the other trades to, you know, fill in these

gaps. Like, it just it sucks because the story

kind of suffers a little bit because, you know,

you would have to have like a 15 part crossover

or something. Miniseries to explain everything.

Yeah, it's kind of a deadly game to play because

then you run into issues where it's like I don't

want to have to read the side stories But then

if you do have side stories, you also want them

to be relevant, too Yeah, it ends up that's why

I kind of like something like education or songs

a little a little bit better Because it goes

from once like one book to the next and it's

like in a like succession So it's not it's not

happening all at the same time. It's happening

in the books in order So it's a little bit easier

to follow. It's more contained. So I kind of

prefer when they do that so it's not so Much

where it's like all happening at once. So then

it's like everything It's a little it's like

watching trying to watch four movies at the same

time Right that are covering the same story,

but just at different angles. It's hard to really

feel like it's ever connected completely Yeah,

that's a good point because that was only I think

three titles. I think executioner song was And

that seems like a good number because I looked

I started looking into fear itself and there's

like, you know, there's a Deadpool one and there's

like just all these other random ones. There's

got to be like eight or ten of them. And, you

know, certain ones have key pieces to them and

everything. And I know I did read the one you

gave me, which was I think Uncanny X -Force and

the Defenders or something like that. And I did

enjoy the Silver Surfer being in there a little

bit and kind of working with Dr. Strange and

Neymar with the defenders to defeat Atuma and

stuff. That was pretty cool. But yeah, it's just

it's kind of a shame that, like you said, it's

a it's a fine line to walk. And this one, unfortunately,

I don't think they did as well as they could

have because they they could have included some

of the more important things in the actual miniseries.

But. Think overall it was a great story and a

great idea Maybe if I ever get to read the tie

-ins, I'll be a little bit more happy with it

Yeah, when I think the concept itself makes a

lot of sense It's a cool concept and I did like

it a lot Like I said, like I agree with you there

are there's you just kind of want more of it

in some spots Yeah, and even though it was seven

issues, which is a little bit longer than your

standard miniseries. It still seemed really quick

like it was over really quick and I forgot to

mention the one the biggest part that I had a

problem with and I won't give too much away here,

but there's a part where a major character dies

and It doesn't seem like it impacts the other

characters that much at all. They kind of gloss

over it very quickly and It should be this huge

like heavy moment that everyone should be Kind

of disturbed by it and they're not really it's

just kind of like not a big deal for some reason

Well true, yeah, but you know, it doesn't good

do good for the story you're trying to tell right

then and there Did you have you read for yourself

Greg? I've read some of the parts, but I don't

think I've gotten to read the whole thing I think

I've had parts where I've come in and kind of

gone out so Yeah, cool. Yeah, it's I would recommend

I mean, I'll be like you said Chuck It's a three

-year -old story. So a lot of people I've already

read it But you know people like you and me who

have not necessarily kept up to date with everything

It's a it's cool one. And honestly as I've gotten

into more hero clicks One of the favorite thing

is just like it's come up with a lot of cool

characters for that game. So yeah picking up

so All right, Greg. How about yourself? We've

kind of been dominating the here. How's your

week been going? What are you been up to? Stop

with the bondage here, guys. You don't like being

dominated? Come on. Well, I have a couple of

things here that I have read, so I'll just try

and shoot through them really quick. I've read

The Goon, which I have never read before, but

it was recommended to me. And I found book number

three on sale at the Baltimore Comic Con. So

I'm kind of starting in the middle of something,

which would have helped out if I started from

the beginning to kind of get a placement on these

characters since they're so wacky and the land

is just so crazy. But the art is really attractive,

if you ask me, especially the covers, just kind

of like this nice painterly quality to them.

And it really gives a dimension to the image

while still retaining like old comic book animation

type of style. And the inside kind of sticks

with that old school animation style, like Will

Eisner and stuff, which also gets mentioned in

this little introduction by Frank Darabont. And

I thought it was pretty good. It was, it's like

a really crazy combination of, there's a lot

of influence from Will Eisner in this book, the

spirit. It's kind of in that same world as kind

of Frank Darabont says at the beginning in his

introduction. It's the cross between Will Eisner

stuff and like a B rated movie. There's one where

he becomes just monster fight. And it's just

a whole lot of fun. If you ask me, it doesn't

really take itself too seriously at all. It's

just trying to be crazy and fun. So I might try

and go back to the beginning and read the first

issue. One of the highlights of the book was

in one of them, they had a crossover between.

Hellboy in the goon and if you know me hell boy,

I have I I'm a big fan of hell boy So I thought

that was really cool. That's interesting because

I I know like they don't seem like worlds that

would cross over But that's really that's intriguing

I actually made it a pretty cool crossover. It

kind of starts off with Hellboy and Mike Mignola's

animation. And then he kind of gets transported

into the goon's world and has to find his way

back to leave it kind of open so you could read

it, enjoy it. But once they transport into the

goon world, then Eric Powell's illustration style

takes over. So I thought that was kind of neat

and a good use of changing style, because I've

said it before in other podcasts, I don't like

it when the artist gets switched out every two

seconds, it kind of messes up the story. But

for this, I think it was a good thing because

it kind of showed that you're in one world and

now you're in another thing, which is kind of

why I don't like it in regular stories where

they just kind of change an artist to change

an artist. So I recommend that one. Actually,

I'm recommending all the ones that I've read

here. What I recommend today, yeah, the next

one I read was Avengers arena murder worlds were

uh, I read the first two volumes and it's essentially

It's it's essentially hunger games with avengers

characters and and they make fun of that a little

bit But uh, it's definitely a different take

on the hunger games. It's not politically Run,

it's it's more of arcade Becoming godlike in

this with this little island. So it's it's also

a cross of Lord of the Flies Which they also

mention in the book and one of my favorite books

that I was forced to read in High school was

Lord of Flies and it was one of the books that

I actually enjoyed reading So with the cross

with all that stuff, of course, it was going

to be enjoyable for me So this is a newer booker.

I this has started probably a year and a half

ago. I want to say The art is... Nothing special,

it's okay. And the art's by... Let me see here.

I think it changes through different stories.

Yeah, they have different ones, so I'm not gonna

really comment on that too much, but the writer

is Dennis Hopeless, and I think he's done a good

job of making it something different than Hunger

Games. He's also done a good job of bringing

in different characters that we don't know to

kind of mix it up. So there are some people that

were kind of questioning their motives throughout

the whole thing. And he's also brought back characters

that we didn't haven't heard from lately. So

we're also don't know where they're coming from

at this point. So I thought that was a really

good job. It doesn't deal with any of the adults.

It's all of like the Young Avengers. There's

Captain Britain apparently has a school which

I didn't know about and so there's kids from

his academy. Apparently the kids from the X -Men

school did not get included in this. Apparently

the security at the X -Men school is pretty damn

good. Way to go Wolverine. So I'd I'd really

check that out if you like the hunger games you

like comic books I think this would be really

something cool to check out a lot of death too.

It's very very hardcore I was gonna ask it doesn't

actually fall through with the concept of it.

Actually. Oh, yeah people are getting killed

left and right It's it's pretty awesome in that

respect. So I'm guessing it takes place in like

an alternate universe or like a what -if No,

it's not a what -if they're on this island Like

a murder island or murder world as arcade calls

it He's got kids from this dimension. So Wow,

that's very cool. Well, I guess not cool that

kids are dying but It's got x23 it's got metal

who else we got we got reptile who came in through

Through Yeah, and he came in his character came

in through through that cartoon that was on the

the younger Disney Lady Avengers, no, it's oh

wow. Yeah screaming at us right now but they've

they've also got the runaways Nico and What's

his name? I didn't read too much of the the the

runaways but uh there's another dude in there

from the runaways so i i thought it was a really

good story i i'd highly recommend um those i

i have the first two ones called uh killer die

and then the second one is game on and finally

for you i have Something that I'm just gonna

go through really quick because I feel like I'm

trying to make this short. Well, wait a second.

I wanted to say something about murder world.

Okay, go ahead. I'm just kidding. Oh, and by

the way, that show was called superhero squad

before people start yelling. Yes. I was going

to say that, but I was afraid that I would be

wrong and I wasn't paying attention right. Yeah,

Greg, that that murder world phase on the. The

old Marvel Alliance game was like my favorite

level. Do you remember that level? There was

a section where you could play one of the characters

that you go play the pitfall and play as that

character through a pitfall level, which I thought

was interesting. I always thought that Arcade

was kind of a cool character, so I might have

to check that out. Is that one of your favorite

levels because it's also the level you get to

unlock Blade for? Yeah, yeah, I think you get

them out of the out of the claw machine. Don't

you? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Good times. I wish

I could get blade out of the claw machines around

my area Well, I mean Wesley Snipes is not doing

much else. So We can I saw some vampires over

there if you want to just check that out But

what was last thing you read Greg? Sorry. Sorry

to interrupt you there. No, that's fine Something

that I don't think needs to be pushed too hard

because it's kind of been out for years now is

Why the Last Man. Nice. I've been wanting to

read this. I bought the first volume like three

years ago and have yet to pick it up. So I do

crap like that all the time. The art is kind

of average, if you ask me. Nothing too exciting

about the art. But Brian K. Vaughan is an excellent,

excellent creative author. He also writes Saga.

He is, I believe he's the show runner. I think

that's his title for, um, under the dome. And

I love both of those things. Saga is just fricking

fantastical that world, but why the last man

takes place in a little bit more, uh, realistic

worlds takes place on earth. And there's some

kind of virus or something out there, but there's

some kind of virus that takes out all men except

one man and his pet. male monkey. And so it's

Yorick Brown and his pet monkey, Ampersand, the

only ones left. And so he's kind of out and about

in this world where it's essentially things are

getting taken over by women, because there's

no men left. Essentially, the world we live in

is essentially run by men. And so there's very

little women to take over in certain areas. Even

though women have been taking over in a lot of

positions anymore, you can still tell that there's

a lot of discrepancy and that kind of stuff.

So it does have a big message about women in

the workplace and women's rights, that social

issue. And so it's a story that has an issue,

but it's told really well. And the main character

gets in really interesting situations because

he's trying to cover himself up. He's trying

to go find his mother who is, I believe the Senator

is, she's involved in higher up politics, trying

to find her. And then the mother wants him to

be kept around so he could get. things done so

they could find a cure for it and try and bring

men back through Some kind of cloning of his

DNA so they could get men back into the world,

but he also is Wants to marry his girlfriend

Who is in Australia, but he can't contact her

because a lot of services are down because of

because There's the the workforce is very depleted

at this point men aren't there to fix all the

problems. Is that where Yeah, that's what I'm

trying to say I'm trying not to be a dick about

it. No, I'm obviously joking because I know Fusible

for love of God don't don't Really if people

don't know it we're joking about half this stuff

half the time then it's their own problem If

you ask me, I don't disagree But it's very interesting,

very interesting situations that Brian Kayvon

puts this poor guy into. He's getting chased

down by all sorts of different groups in this.

And it's something that I definitely want to

pick up the next book. And I read through this.

really super quick. So that's how I know I really

like something if I get through it pretty damn

quick, because it's a, I got the thick hardcover

volume of it, which is like triple the size of

the soft cover volume one. And I read through

it in like an hour probably it was like, yeah,

it was really good. Cool. Yeah, I have to pick

that up. I'm well, I'm afraid that I got to read

the one that I bought a long time ago So yeah,

don't pick it up again Volume two when when I

have When I deplete my other comics All I can

say is you definitely can tell that we just got

back from a Baltimore Comic Con or Comic Con

not that long ago, because that we're talking

a lot about comics. So you kind of get in that

mood where it's like, all right, now I got to

read all the stuff I got. So, yeah, I think I'm

going to have plenty to read for the next six

months. Yeah, I think this is our most comic

based episode yet. But a lot of recommendations,

I guess. So that's a good thing. A lot of things

for you guys to go out to read. And I'll hopefully

even read having more comics next week because

I'm going to try to read Hacktivist, which is

a book I picked up at Baltimore Comic -Con, too,

which looks really interesting. But all right,

anything else before we take a break and then

get into our geek power rankings? Yay, break.

My thirsty brain hurts. Lots of talking. Alright,

well we're gonna take a break. We'll be back

in a little bit to count down the biggest and

the best topics in the geek world, so we'll see

ya. It's action. It's drama. It's comedy. It's

and welcome back. Like I mentioned at the top

of the show today. We're trying to construct

geek power rankings And I think this is something

we'll do periodically and we'll kind of go through

it and see what is really Trending and what's

really popular now within the geek culture So

if you if you're all at all NFL fan They would

do a thing called NFL power rankings where they

rank the best teams in the NFL right now So we're

taking that idea and transforming it into geek

culture. So the idea behind this is it's not

necessarily What's popular, you know throughout

generations or years think of something like

Star Wars, right? Because Star Wars is probably

the most popular thing in geek culture ever but

right now it's not made not necessarily as popular

or something else because it's not necessarily

in the Current lexicon or there's nothing new

for it or maybe there is when we'll get into

that So they it's kind of a snapshot into the

world that we live in right here right now and

so what we throwing on different topics and trying

to debate like what is What are the coolest things

in the world of geek them as we go on because

we are geek podcast and that's what we do So

I was thinking probably the make this easiest

for all of us We should probably just start with

what's pretty unanimously without a doubt probably

number one on this power ranking and That way

we can just after that everything is just second

fiddle But I don't know if you agree with that,

but I'm thinking if you ask what is the biggest

thing geek culture right now? What is the biggest

thing like you know going? I would think considering

its box -office dollars considering how its characters

are huger than ever how it's merchandise is selling

how it's comics Oh, it's comics or even selling

through the roof that the biggest thing in geek

culture right now is without a doubt Guardians

of the Galaxy, would you guys agree with that

or I would agree with that? Yeah Mean it just

rocket raccoon has a book out comic book out

now. That's Tons of success after the the film

has a run Yeah, and there's there's like There's

like this app now that you can like text Groot

or something like that So it just puts I am Groot

for everything. Yeah, pretty much pretty sure

I could just command C command V that Yeah, copy

and paste people Just goes to show you like throw

it out there and people it'll eat it up. But

um But yeah, I would say guardians of galaxy.

I mean just recently it became the most uh, the

highest grossing movie of 2014, right? Yeah,

and it's closing in on it's probably gonna make

over 30 million dollars. It's It's yeah, it's

the biggest thing going right now. It's by far

the biggest. It's not the biggest global movie

Currently, uh, that's still transformers. Thanks

china for that. But yeah guardians of galaxy

the biggest domestic hit it's kind of funny though

because It was projected to make a hundred and

fifty million dollars and it's double that which

is insane so much for So much for way off projection

guy He's gone on one of those bud light commercials,

yeah Real men of genius so we have our number

one that's without a doubt I figure we get that

out of the way everything else is sanca fiddle.

So no need no need to debate there. So What we'll

do now is go through some other topics try to

see like, okay would that belong in the top five?

Is that more of a bottom five thing or is that

does not belong in the top ten whatsoever? And

it's it's kind of come and gone So we kind of

started with a movie slash comic book thing.

Are there any other? Topics or anything else

you think okay. This is also really popular.

This also has to be on the geek power rankings

right now Well, I think one that I would put

in there is something that's been in the news

the last few days uh that's Avengers Age of Ultron

uh there's a lot of anticipation for that you

know because it's coming out next May so I don't

know if you guys would agree with that I've debated

about that as well because I try to construct

my own top 10 and when I put this on Twitter

and Facebook and asked what are the biggest things

in geek culture right now this was one of the

responses was Avengers Age of Ultron and I definitely

think it's there to me it's like a debatable

in the in the bottom 10 Bottom five the top ten

so like six through ten I think we can put it

in there for right now and see where we go for

it Because I think it's more of a whisper thing.

Yeah, I think it's gonna obviously explode but

I don't think All over your face neck and chest.

It's a careless whisper. Yeah, I feel like there

are other Properties right now that maybe you're

even exploding or maybe there's certain buzz

around them popular or negative I feel like with

age of Ultron for whatever reason there's not

there's a lot of intrigue there for sure But

I mean listen every single Avenger site I go

on mentions this movie Every time I go to Avengers

age of Ultron comm it's all over But yeah, I

definitely we all see it. I do think it belongs

in the discussion So we'll throw that in the

bottom five for right now and see where we can

go and I guess since we started with age of Ultron

It's probably a good idea to and I'm kind of

lumping this into one character. I'm thinking

well, what's popular right now? And I mean you

could always say Batman like any day of the week,

right? The Batman's always you are you Batman?

I did not know that I am Batman cool Okay. Well,

I think Batman, you belong on this list. Think

about it right now, though. I mean, he's always

popular. He has all his movies. But currently,

Batman versus Superman, someone blinks on the

set, and it's headline news. Every little thing,

the Batmobile images came out. It's news all

the time. For whatever reason, people are just

dying to get news about it. And beyond that,

you also have the Gotham TV show coming up. There

is a Batman video game, but that's not scheduled

till next year. I think, I mean, there's some

buzz on that, but I know with the Gotham TV show,

it's also the 75th year anniversary of Batman,

which there's been a lot about that. There's

been conventions and pretty much - Batman 66,

bitch! At worst! Yeah, see, there you go. And

so I think Batman is always popular, but I do

think he is rather popular right now. Do you

guys, how do you guys feel about that? I concur

fully, Daniel. Yeah, I would agree with that

I I wasn't sure if we were gonna lump the Superman

Batman movie into a separate thing. Are you gonna

are you gonna include in with this? I think it'd

be easier just to say Batman in general in my

opinion just because it's Maybe because it's

kind of all related into this one faction of

a character Per se since it's all Batman related

in some way instead of like, you know with Guardians

of the Galaxy Rocket raccoon has his own comic

book right now Groot has his own app because

I can't that's a thing I guess and Chris pratt

is going to be hosting snl soon So I feel like

it's similar to that where you have all these

different parts of guardians of galaxy But they're

all they're all guardians of the galaxy within

themselves. So So we thinking that would be would

that be more popular right now and geek them

than age of ultron or less popular? Do we think?

I think just the fact that he has so much stuff

going on I think it would have to be more towards

the the top five than than the bottom I think

we've just only really got one thing going on

with Avengers a Age of Ultron because it's just

a movie this has got movie TV show Old TV show.

I think there's just more things going on with

it. So I think it should be top five for right

now Chuck agree disagree Yeah, I guess I would

agree and put it in the top five probably okay,

so we'll throw it there for right now. All right

Chuck I know you had a few topics on your list

So what else did you have or did I did I did

I cheat and take them by putting Batman all in

one? No, no you I mean a little bit but you gave

me a good segue and there's something that actually

kind of ties to the Superman Batman movie and

I think Something you alluded to earlier But

it's something that's kind of having a little

bit of a back -and -forth with the Superman Batman

movie I'm not sure if you guys have heard this

but uh, that would be the Star Wars Episode 7

movie. Oh Yeah, and there was just like yeah,

did you see the video that was released today

of yeah? Yeah, there was like a little bit of

a prank thing done Yeah, they've kind of been

going back and forth on on Twitter and I guess

this goes back A couple of months because I found

this one site. I could put a We could put a link

up on the the geek ass radio page because it

kind of breaks it down all the the back and forth

between Zack Snyder and JJ Abrams and You know

like there was a picture of You know Superman

in it was Henry Cavill in a Jedi robe and it

said hashtag super Jedi and Then there was like

a picture with like Batman and in r2d2 like in

this on the side of a mountain type thing and

There's just some back -and -forth stuff with

like kind of mashing up these two universes There's

like c3po with like a Batman cape on and stuff,

but it's really cool. They're they're going back

and forth It's like there's these two Titans,

but they're both directors are big fans of the

other the others franchises too, but I just think

like Star Wars is Episode seven is one of those

things right now to that, you know somebody farts

on the set and it's like a three -page article

See, I think I'd rather blinking on the set and

be an article than farting. Yeah, well you got

Harrison Ford. So he's got a Duck following him

around on set. Yeah, that is true. I know when

they like they announced just the helmet of the

star troopers star troopers storm troopers and

that was huge. It's like a helmet I'm like man

you anything and it's a huge story so by the

way what does batman r2d2 sound like beep boop

beep beep beep beep beep someone is going for

the the worst joke very nice there was there

was another there was a picture of jj abrams

tweeted it was like Something he wrote on like

a card like a piece of card stock I don't even

remember what he wrote now But like the background

kind of looked like the Death Star background

from like You know a new hope and like people

were like going nuts over like oh my god The

Death Star is gonna be in this and like they're

freaking out So yeah, I would definitely say

that's trending right now I don't know where

you guys would put that but I'd have to put it

in the top five possibly Yeah, I'm leaning towards

top five just because it is Star Wars. It's a

new Star Wars It's it's kind of grabbed the all

the intention and like you said I feel like it

it trickles out news here and there and when

it does it explodes and I think all Everything

I feel like everything we've heard about it so

far everyone the reaction has been mostly in

very positive towards it So I don't know Greg.

What do you think thinking kind of middle of

the road? I don't think it's gonna be up there

with with Batman because all the stuff going

on with him But I think it's just a little bit

above Avengers, Age of Ultron, if you ask me.

OK, we'll throw it there and we'll come back

around and try to get a better number for all

of these. So we're talking a lot about movies

and stuff right now. And so I'm going to maybe

take it in a little bit different direction.

And one that is not comic books, not TVs, but...

more of a tech side of it and you know that's

part of geekdom too is is techness and i don't

techness that's not a word so there you go and

now is one dan is the william shakespeare of

podcasting he just created a bushism people I

just got compared to George Bush and William

Shakespeare at the same time. I don't know if

that's ever happened in human history before.

Now explode. We just yeah, we just killed the

internet. All right, but uh, Technus. Man, that

also sounds like a bad like 1980s movie or something.

Technus. In a world where technology anyways,

but what technology is also huge and phone technology

is always big I mean every we talked about being

an app for Groot and you know what created apps

iPhone and recently iPhone just or Apple released

the new iPhone 6 and that Kind of was rather

popular. I don't know if you guys agree I mean

I'm thinking if it was on it and be bottom bottom

five because I think maybe Apple is not nearly

up to where it's been But and you have people

standing in lies In line for like months before

it was even announced. Do you think? The new

iPhone would all that all belong here I'm not

too up on my tech Side of things at this point,

but I guess I don't know See, I think that reaction

right there kind of indicates probably not because

man I think for it to be I feel like when the

first iPhone came out it was huge and it was

pop and now Like new apple stuff, you know, they

have the new eye wash and it doesn't seem like

Yeah, it's exactly see this is my point exactly.

There's a watch you put around your eye The new

eye patch by apple it's It's like google glass,

but just for one eye But yeah, so like the new

iphone 6 stuff is just not maybe capturing it

and you think maybe a few years ago it would

have but chuck what do you think are you you

think the iphone 6 that's not nearly as Belonging

or do you think maybe still asking the man who

still has a flip phone? I Wouldn't really put

it up that high. I mean, honestly if it if we

do keep it down around 10 Yeah, I'll put it as

a disarmable mention for right now The only reason

I say that too is because Samsung came out with

some stuff like months ago like they already

had a wristwatch type thing that you could make

calls with and everything so it's it's kind of

like oh apple finally caught up to them exactly

exactly like if i know i have a i have a samsung

6 wants to know what you know samsung was like

two years ago feel free to ask me you can tell

you what your new apps are going to be like so

uh but yeah But I mean, it's still rather popular.

It's so big but I do agree that it's it's it'll

be maybe if we need a substitute or something

like that, we'll throw it out there, but I wanted

to try to capture all the different elements.

So Any any other like what else were you thinking

is out there and popular and really kind of taking

over? Well, I want to put something in that uh

say that a lot but all right I do something that

i'm kind of into which I i've just recently gotten

into and I didn't know that it had this much

buzz around it. Ooh, I think I know what you're

talking about. OK, take a guess, Chuck. Do you

want me to take a guess? Yeah, take a guess.

Buzz Aldrin? No. No. Damn wrong. I could be wrong,

but I'm going to guess pop vinyl figures. Very

good, Chuck. Yes, that's actually on my list.

My list, too. I've recently gotten into these.

little vinyl toys that you don't really do much

except just kind of sit on a shelf and they look

freaking awesome. And as my mom says, oh, that's

adorable. But I've started off I got a couple

exclusives at the San Diego Comic -Con I got

the angry stay puff marshmallow man and the exclusive

Stanley Excelsior or not Excelsior the San Diego

Comic -Con shirt Stanley And so I've then at

Baltimore Comic Con, I expanded more and then

I've noticed that the Baltimore Comic Con in

front of the stands with these pop vinyls, there's

just people just standing in the way blocking

the aisle. And it's kind of like, well, this

is what happens with the artists and stuff at

these things. That's what usually blocks up sections.

But here it's. The sections are getting blocked

off because people are just staring at the pop

vinyls. Usually also at like bigger events, it's

they're staring at the shirts and looking up

at the styling online tower of t -shirts. But

at this con, it was everybody was just huddled

up in front of the pop vinyls and they have so

many different. Companies or titles that they're

involved with they have Ghostbusters. They have

a whole bunch of stuff going on with Disney products

coming out They have Marvel characters. They

have DC characters They have video game characters

and plus I tweeted some stuff at them and they

favorited my tweets How awesome is that? I got

they had a little section on their their Twitter

page of to kind of throw out suggestions for

New figures that they could come up with and

I tweeted Hellboy and Saga, the Brian K. Vaughn

series, and they favored that tweet. And then

I wrote, oh, this is so awesome, the first professional

high, where people would see me tweet. favorite

that I've gotten from somebody on Twitter, and

then they favorited that tweet as well. In my

head, I'm like, how far can I take this? But

then I decided that I should probably just stop

it right there. You get that Peter Griffin look

on your face. You're like, hmm. Yeah. So I'm

going to vote for the Funko Pop Vinyl. I will

it was on my list too. And I think Chuck you

said it was on yours and yeah, definitely third

in there I see I walk around my I work in kind

of a tech company and I see these everywhere

like it they're on a person in my Near me has

one of like some Game of Thrones characters So

it's like if you were into something and you're

geeked into something chances are you have a

pop vinyl of it I don't but I know a lot of people

do and like you said Greg they were huge at the

con. I think they're They sell everywhere. I

mean bookstores have them. They're gigantic.

They're they are like the hot like if you're

going to include toys or Collectibles, I think

they're by far the biggest collectible right

now. Do you agree chuck? Yeah, I would agree

So we think i'm thinking this definitely blings

into the top in top five territory Are we feeling

not strong about it? Yeah, I i'd probably slide

it in there around number four something like

that slide it in there chuck Just just real real

slick. Yeah Lube that up. Chuck, did you have

anything else on your list? I'll go with something

that may not be on yours, because I know we'll

probably have some things in common. But this

would probably be maybe on the lower end for

sure. But maybe I'll lump it together in one

thing, and I'll say Wolverine, which I know is

always kind of overused and worn out and stuff.

But we get this big story coming out, the death

of Wolverine. And I really have started to see

it pop up on a lot of websites that I frequent.

And everybody's talking about this Death of Wolverine

story. And it showed up on Yahoo, so you know

it's a big deal. Was it right next to the Kim

Kardashian story about her getting a new haircut?

Yeah, they have the biggest stories, so that's

the only news source that I go to. They have

the most misleading headlines in the history

of the world. Oh, they do. It's like, you will

not believe this thing that just happened. It's

amazing. It's like, oh, yeah, I believe it. The

president farted today. Oh, really? Yeah, that's

great. Yeah. I mean, we got like Days of Future

Past came out earlier this year and stuff like

that. But I think this Death of Wolverine story

is going to be kind of a big deal here. People

are really starting to talk about it right now

and it's making quite a buzz Yeah, I agree. I

he was actually on my list. I wasn't sure where

he would go But I think that we make a good point

with the death of wolverine. It's gigantic. It's

it's well I don't know how big it is within Like

how many people are super excited for it? But

it's certainly getting a lot of buzz a lot of

people talking about it either because they don't

like it or it's certainly a topic that's Cause

a lot of discussion so there's no doubt about

that So I do agree maybe would be near the like

the bottom of the top ten, you know Like a eight

nine ten, but I agree it belong it probably does

belong on the list Greg what say you? Yeah, I

think that's getting a lot of chatter. I've seen

it on like CNN like normal Sites that you don't

see a lot about comic books and everything and

I've seen a lot of stuff out there on the normie

sites of Non geek related sites aka normie sites

Don't know that would go over well with iTunes

but a few normies That you know what that'll

trick them really no that fool's iTunes really

I think it might not get posted because he said

bad thing is about the iPhone 6 anyway, so now

This this episode is not making it into this

top ten But yeah, yeah, I agree so we'll put

that in the bottom part for right now as we try

to figure this this guy out so I said that that

fucks up with Wolverine. I don't know. We're

gonna put him on top bottom top ten. So you'd

figure him out. Yeah One thing is we're kind

of getting into the fall season and within fall

season What comes will fall TV shows and I'm

surprised Chuck you didn't bring this up I figured

it'd be like the first thing you bring up because

you contractually obligated to talk about it

and that of course is the arrow Yeah I was going

to mention Arrow. I didn't want to prematurely

mention it. I don't want to get too excited.

I feel like it's universally loved within the

geek community. It's so much so that... This

is the first time I've ever seen people get upset

when a show wasn't released on Netflix streaming

when they said it was gonna be on September 14th

it was supposed to come on Netflix and it didn't

and it Caused an outrage and Netflix had to like

release a statement and I've never seen that

done before ever for anything So I think that

definitely tells you that you know arrows. I

mean, it's it's huge right now Fans are standing

out the standing outside the the CEO of Netflix

office. You have failed the city Greg do you

agree? Do you think it's as popular as we think

it is? I'm not sure of its popularity with with

others. I think it's very popular Among us. I'm

not I'm not sure exactly How to read that one

to be quite honest Yeah, I will say I mean it

gets good ratings for cw for sure. Uh, I think

I mean looking at Going through the like the

comic -con I saw a lot of aero cosplay at least

a lot of green aero cosplay more so than ever

before so I mean that is a good that's a good

point greg like is it just that the fan base

is very rapid fan base and it's not that big

or is it that It is really popular. I guess that's

that's that's a good point. It's hard to I I

think it is because just from the stuff I've

seen on like their Facebook sites and you know

the buzz I've heard the comments that I've read

and like it's a lot of people that don't know

anything about comics and it's it's that kind

of 18 to 35 demographic and there's a lot of

people that Like oh what happened in the comics?

I never even read that and like I hear people

talking about it But they love the show like

it's it's you know, really popular with that

age group Yeah, I'm feeling pretty strong about

it. I I think it's you know error I think season

2 kind of brought it into a new light it brought

in bringing in a lot of the you know, the Batman

villains and even to the point where Liam Easton

said he'd even come on to show and do Rouse our

goal. Yeah, and and I think honestly, Liam Neeson

just really wants something to do because he

uh He just recently said that he really wants

to be in star wars episode seven I Think honestly

he just wants something to do that's not too

close to taking I Stopped I want to stop him

taking things Yeah, but I'm thinking this belief

belongs on top five. I don't know We we agreement

on that and Craig. I think do you I know you're

you're a little bit unsure But do you think you

know how we convinced you or are you still on?

on the fence if I'm gonna go I'm gonna go middle

I guess Okay, well throw it there for I'd go

I'd go middle just to satisfy Greg It's probably

not the first time that's been said So I feel

like I saw one from your list it's any any other

topics I feel like I'm kind of throwing them

out there but even anything else we're thinking

of that hasn't been brought up yet I'll throw

out a random one or two. I'm not sure if they'll

stick but they will stick check how about How

about Deadpool Recent addition to my list because

of the news that dropped today that they are

officially planning the Deadpool movie. Yeah

February of 2016 from what I hear. Yeah They

pushed back Fantastic Four and they replaced

it with Deadpool How long can we keep this going

Ryan Reynolds Ryan Reynolds will be Deadpool

it appears And I don't think it's connected to

Wolverine origin. So Morgan Freeman will narrate

Yeah, so I came on to Facebook today after work

and I can't I Opened I opened up Facebook today

and literally like 90 % of my Facebook feed was

Deadpool movie Deadpool movie Deadpool movie

Deadpool movie part of that is the fact that

I'm like I like a lot of movie sites But it's

just that just and then when that test footage

came out again, that was huge So I know I think

Greg you're a huge Deadpool fan. So what are

your what are your? Don't know I've kind of been

running out of steam on him in the comics even

though the comics have been so good But I feel

like he's been so overused lately like he's he's

running into the whole Wolverine thing of Probably

people getting tired of them. So I'm not sure

if I don't know I I still love the character

and I really want I would want to see a Deadpool

movie to be quite honest if if it's done right

kind of like that little tease they gave us So

yeah, I guess it's pretty high up there. I know

like you see cosplay at any comic -con You're

gonna see a trillion dead tools I don't know

if that's just because the costume is kind of

easier to do or whatnot, but it's it's always

a popular character So always look really shitty

like they look really crappily done all the time

like Good job cleaning it up. Yeah, it looks

like they're just wearing like body stocking

with body stocking with patches, it's not well

done. Yeah. Chuck, so what do you think we should

put Deadpool on the list? Because I think he

definitely belongs on the top 10, especially

with the movie announcement. So do you think?

What do you think, somewhere around six, seven,

somewhere middle there? I think, yeah, I think

around that. I mean, maybe higher than Wolverine

because the movie announcement, I think, puts

him a little bit over edge. And I think. Cosplays

wise I think he's a little bit more popular that

end. So yeah, I agree. I think bottom five around

there. So Okay, that's all right Wolverine or

Deadpool likes it on the bottom And you said

you some other topics check I'll throw out one

other one and I think Dan we might have talked

about this one earlier in the week, but uh, I

looked into it a little bit and I think I kind

of Want to bring it up the destiny game that

just came out recently for a lot of different

video game consoles Oh, yeah. Yeah. Good. Good.

Good on you for mentioning that. Good day, Chuck.

Good day. But yeah, they're having like record

sales in this game and it's it's by Bungie Games

who are the same people that came up with Halo

and everything. A lot of inspiration came from

the Halo games and stuff. Hey, Chuck. Yeah. Halo.

Yeah, I mean that's I myself I'm not a gamer

I think I mean Greg you probably play the more

video games world more current video games and

Chuck and I but yeah record sales also went on

to reddit gaming subreddit and Every other post

was about destiny either people talking about

how much they love it or hate it Even on our

off -the -cuff video podcast video game podcast

for geocast radio. There's a lot of discussion

on that board as well about destiny So within

the gaming community right now, that is without

a doubt the biggest, you know thing going so

Have you heard about it at all Greg? Yeah, I've

seen the commercials constantly and Like if I

catch it at the end of the commercial, I think

it's like a recruitment commercial for the army

or the Navy or something, because it's got that

kind of song situation going on. But yeah, I've

heard a lot about it and like people getting

really excited for it. I haven't heard too much

in detail of what the excitement is really all

about, but I just like have heard and felt all

the buzz of what's going on. I've heard the sales

are great, but the reviews are kind of mixed.

Yeah, I feel like that's all games now anyway.

Yeah, that's true. But yeah, I honestly I believe

this like what considering in sales and how much

it's kind of taken over and it's been a Probably

the one of the biggest most popular hits of the

new generation of video games I know it's not

we're not the biggest video games, you know gamers

in the world, but Considering where it is within

geek culture. I think it definitely belongs in

the top five because Considering if you take

how many copies it sold compare it to guardians

of the galaxy money wise I mean, they're not

that far off. I mean, I mean like $60, but I

think it doesn't belong in the top five I mean,

maybe this article I looked at was old but maybe

Dan does this ring a bell? I want to say it's

made over 325 million dollars or something already.

Yeah. Yeah, that's crazy. I guess technically

less people Have played the game then like soul

guardians of the galaxy since a video games like

60 bucks But still I mean that's that's you know,

that's a lot of money for a short period of time

It's only been out for like a week or so. Yeah,

so So are we in agreement putting in in the top

five for right now? Sure. I think we have about

No, we have one two three four right now we have

four in the top five I think we we've got to

be close to heaven ten by now We have one two,

three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Welcome

to counting podcast. We have nine. Yeah, I did

have a couple though. Maybe. We can just get

a quick yes or no, I won't put much. Oh damn,

we're done, we got ten. We're actually only at

nine, so we do need some more, but I figure there's

some that we at least need to mention so people

don't. Some of these a little bit different.

And I thought about, you know, what's really

popular within geek culture? Girls, right? I

mean, there's always girls that geeks are foodies

Who I guess if you get things called girls, even

though I just checked Emily Radajkowski's Twitter

page If you were gonna say who is the it girl

within geek culture right now I know it's kind

of a hard thing to say like the most popular

girl within maybe not even just key culture but

overall actress Does anyone come to mind? i mean

i understand for you greg i mean overall overall

for people just thinking movie career and whatnot

emily yeah i guess i'll just i'll just say it

and yeah i have no idea jennifer laurence jennifer

laurence is where i was going going for i'm smart

She's Mystique in the X -Men movies. She is,

you know, in the Hunger Games movies, which are

huge. I mean, they've been the biggest movies

of the years when they've come out. She's hugely

popular. Oscar winner. I think, and obviously

she had that fappening not too long ago, which

was such a big deal that it ended the ice bucket

challenge. I think I saw me. I think I saw a

meme that said like Jennifer Lauren should be

happy that her boobs ended the ice bucket challenge

which it Reignited a second ice bucket challenge.

They poured all the ice on to everybody's crotches

Not to make light of the situation but that those

were jokes that definitely happened, but I do

think you know Considering geek culture. There's

always that it girl and then I know there's a

lot of them like you mentioned You know Emily

Clark and Emma Raditz Joukowski and whatnot,

but Overall though, I think considering the character

she's playing Jennifer Lawrence is pretty is

pretty Big in the world of geek them. Do we do

we agree disagree? Yeah, especially with the

Hunger Games She's very popular with young ladies

and older men Especially me when my eyes are

closed at night. I'm trying to fall asleep. So

yeah, I think she's should uh enter the top five

as i'm thinking i'm thinking more so middle maybe

i don't know i i but i think she belongs belongs

there what do you what about you chuck um yeah

i would probably include her in the list somewhere

i would say i guess maybe bottom half only because

the movies have all right you know what she's

got a pretty good top half to there chuck I don't

have an opinion you guys settle this Only because

the movies have been out for a while, I guess,

you know, hunger games and x -men both came out

a while ago So it's maybe we has given a little

bit you do have the new hunger games coming out

this november But I guess that's still november.

So but I agree maybe not this is happening Yeah,

but I think that's legitimate. So maybe bottom

middle So we'll throw that right there. So just

some quick ones either we can say yes or no don't

go much detail About these and then we can try

to knock out this ranking of these. I know I

said aero with fall tv I don't know if this is

popular right now since it's not currently airing

unlike I think it doesn't But uh, I think this

is maybe more generally popular than maybe popular

within the geek culture. But what about walking

dead? Think that's always popular at this point.

Um, yeah new season coming up or they just starting

in october I believe is when they start Yeah,

I think maybe when we get a little bit closer.

I think there's gonna be a little bit more hype

for it But yeah, so i'm gonna i'm gonna go kind

of a no for right this moment. Yeah, I agree.

What about you chuck? I would say no until it

starts maybe yeah, you know what i'm sure Once

the premiere hits, it's going to be probably

number one. But yeah, if we do this in like,

you know, a few months again, it'll be it'll

be definitely on the list. But unlike Arrow,

which I think is having a lot of people, it's

still within, you know, because all the different

rumors of different characters with Walking Dead,

I think maybe since it's kind of been established,

it doesn't. Yeah, and they're they're keeping

things a little bit under wraps more, you know.

arrows trying to promote more and they're they're

oh this character's gonna be this character's

me and Walking dead's sort of keeping a lid on

things. You know, they're not revealing too much.

Yeah Another huge thing in geek culture. I this

new series is currently going on right now And

I know greg you're the only one within us that

watches this show but a doctor who? Did just

bring you have a new doctor? I'd say yes, because

there's legitimately a lot of talk on Twitter

and stuff. I did not see it. I don't know when

the frigate airs since I've already missed the

first episode. I'm just not caught up, but that's

all the ladies talk about. The very few ladies

that I talk to um I've I've always hear talk

about doctor who constantly with geek friends

So yeah, I mean the whovians are a pretty huge

fan base So I know chuck you're you're you're

probably less into it than I only reason I know

anything about it is because I watched it for

the homework episode But I would say because

it I mean like I agree. There's a lot of chatter

there Maybe you can throw it in the bottom five

see if it fits at the end. But uh, I don't know

like I feel like though like maybe I'm just blessed

out of it than I normally am but the new doctor

I don't think for whatever reason when I heard

a lot more about it when Matt Smith was a doctor

than a new guy I don't know if that's just I

think he needs some some time to Pull on people's

heartstrings. I think after a while he'll he'll

get a little bit farther up. Okay another person

real quick He one of the most popular podcasts

going he's like a hero to a lot of podcasters

and he damn And he's also uh, we all know who

you're gonna say dan a host of at midnight and

that's chris hardwick Would we put him in the

top ten at all? Uh, he's in a lot of shit. So

I I would say yes I wouldn't say that he's up

that high. I'd say uh bottom ten But uh, he's

freaking he's got his fingers in everything geek

I know chuck you're probably not a biggest fan

as him as maybe I am or other people. But do

you how do you feel? I I would say no, okay I

probably wouldn't put them in the in the top

10 personally, but All right. Well, we'll we'll

throw them like in the like the substitute section

for right now because I was debating too I'm

not sure I put them like with above iphone 6,

but I don't I don't know but I just thought I

would have to throw them out there and think

even there's anything else that we didn't go

over before we Nail it down. But no, I think

we got it pretty well sorted. We oh I know this

is probably a no but they did announce surge

was coming back and it's already sold out that

like energy drink from like the 90s I Don't know

like just for a random thing that they're out

there. Oh, yeah. I know if you remember surge

No, I don't remember that It was like Red Bull

before Red Bull, but I saw a post on Reddit.

And the next thing I know, it's like it's already

sold out everything that was going to come back.

But the fact that we don't even know what it

is tells me it doesn't belong on the list. Yeah,

I didn't even hear about it. Yeah. All right.

So we have our number one, Guardians of the Galaxy.

So the question becomes, what's number two? And

the ones we selected for the top five that are

with unanimous top fives were Batman pop vinyl

in the in the video game destiny. So what do

we think we should go as number two? I'm leaning

towards Batman just because of everything that's

going on right now. What do you guys there's

I think just the mass amount of stuff that he

has his fingers in I'm gonna keep using that

phrase for some reason. I don't know why But

I just think the amount of things out with him.

I think he deserves a second spot there What

do you think, Chuck? Yeah, I'd probably throw

him in right there around number two. OK. So

what comes next, then? We have Pop, Vinyl, and

Destiny. This one's kind of tough. I'm not sure.

Greg, you're the big Pop, Vinyl fan, probably.

You have the most. Do you think its popularity

is overshadowing the video game? Maybe the video

game's hot right now, but. Well, I think. I don't

know, because I'm so new to this vinyl situation,

vinyl toys. I know there's a lot of people out

there just from watching TV that collect vinyl

figures. I'm not sure if they all collect pop

vinyl or not. But I just think that there's,

for more sheer amount of people... Interested

in video games that I would put destiny ahead

of pop vinyl Even though I have really no interest

in that video game to be quite honest. What do

you think Chuck? Oh boy, I think well, here's

what I think I think destiny is hotter right

now Yeah, but I think it's more of a firecracker.

I think the pop vinyl is is gonna be a longer

lasting effect I guess I'd throw a pop vinyl

ahead of destiny Yeah, I'm considering the list

is what's right now. I think I agree with you

and actually your argument for Pop Vinyl is my

argument for why Destiny would be bigger. Yeah,

I guess. I kind of outsmarted myself there. Yeah.

So I agree. Yeah. Well, so Destiny is number

three, Pop Vinyl is number four. Then the question

becomes, all right, so we got our middle section

right here. And the ones we selected for the

middle were Arrow, Star Wars Episode 7, and Jennifer

Lawrence. So a random combination there. I don't

even know where to begin. I personally thought

Arrow belonged in the top five, so that's where

I'm leaning. Chuck, what do you think? I'm gonna

go with a surprise move, and I would put Star

Wars just one slot ahead of Arrow, probably.

I would, too, to be quite honest. So what were

you thinking? Star Wars Episode VII, Arrow, and

then Jennifer Lawrence? Yeah. Yeah, probably.

No explanation behind that at all. We just think

that's Well, I mean you think about exciting

to listen to I Think we explained a good amount

of what we thought about Star Wars. It's it's

gigantic. It's a movie compared to a TV show,

but even though TV shows have been have been

Showing themselves is more interesting and everything.

I still think movies are My mind or a bigger

thing than TV shows and you get more buzz about

movies than you do really about TV shows And

Star Wars also has TV shows coming out. They

have that new cartoon coming out as well. So

and I think Part of it is the fact that Star

Wars has an established fan base and this this

new movie has it kind of a little bit ahead of

it like Like I said arrows not currently airing.

It's just basically the buzz around it, too So

since you're comparing just one buzz to the next

buzz, I think definitely you would probably say

Episode seven is a little bit ahead of that so

then more universal because I think they're like

myself and you Greg We haven't even saw it the

second season of arrow. So snoop. So fucking

Netflix. I Know stupid get it on there already.

We're up to number seven So we have three more

spots left and we have a couple things on here

already So we we have currently left that we

said belongs in the top ten age of Ultron Deadpool

Wolverine and Doctor Who So we We have four but

three spots So the question is out of all those

out of all those four, which one would we take

out? I'm I'm thinking either Wolverine I'm not

yeah, but I'd like to push Jennifer Lawrence

off the list to be quite honest We even completely

off the list. Yeah So Jennifer, what do you agree

with that? She doesn't have really anything going

on and I I think these The stuff that we have

left. There's more buzz about that kind of stuff

than there is about Jennifer Lawrence this two

seconds She's not really having movie coming

out or anything It's their biggest thing that

she's had out recently is the fappening to be

quite honest true Chuck, what do you think? Yeah,

I probably agree with that until Yeah, I think

I think then she would definitely you could make

a case for her. But yeah, so i'm thinking then

for number seven Considering buzz and whatnot.

Would we put age of ultron? I'd go with that.

Yeah Yeah, that sounds pretty good Because i'm

I mean i'm doctor who has a fan base but I think

avengers fan base is probably a little larger

than doctor who but I think age of ultron number

seven and doctor who number eight Mean, I know

Chuck. Yeah, I haven't I haven't seen any doctor

who news on any of the sites that I've been going

on I guess it depends because it's it's a different

I Don't think you run the same circles as a lot

of the Whovians though Chuck. Yeah, I know but

we're talking about a general audience a general

geek audience and I mean I go to a lot of the

general geek sites and You know at some of the

big ticket things that come up in headlines are

some of the things that we're talking about Yeah,

I haven't really seen much dr. Who stuff. It's

a good point. I mean, it's certainly a niche

audience So I mean that's good if we're thinking

general geek dumb girls. You're all niches now

Then we have Deadpool and Wolverine and With

the movie coming out and I think currently like

the more popular character just in general I

would probably thinking Deadpool but with the

death Wolverine that's making national news So

maybe it should should be Wolverine. So that

I don't know. There's there's two different things

there What do we I don't know we think in Deadpool

we think in Wolverine which one goes where? What

do we what number we own we have eight nine and

ten So we have three spots and we have Doctor

Who Deadpool and Wolverine left. So we got a

we have The number of spots, they all are going

to make it. We just have to figure out which

one would. I'd be OK. I'd be OK with going for

eight, nine, and 10. I'd be OK with saying like

Deadpool. Actually, maybe Wolverine, Deadpool,

Doctor Who. What do you think, Greg? I think

Wolverine, Deadpool, Doctor Who. And I agree.

Only because the Wolverine, like you said, made

some things like CNN and Yahoo and stuff like

that. But yeah. Otherwise, I would probably have

Wolverine at 10, but because of those things,

I move on. Yeah. So to count it down, at number

10, we have Doctor Who, and number 9, Deadpool,

8, Wolverine, 7, Age of Ultron, 6, Arrow, 5,

Star Wars Episode VII, 4, vinyl, 3, Destiny,

2, Batman, and 1, Guardians of the Galaxy. Excellent.

Very very good list actually comic book heavy,

but I think it's it's it's a I mean, it's a very

comic book world. We live in right now superheroes

We do have toys in there. We do have Star Wars.

So but I think it's legit I think it's a I think

legit to quit. Hey, hey Yeah, if this this list

would be selected for hammer time, I believe

So if you disagree or agree with us, feel free

to yell scream and you know Let us know we'll

get at the end of it in the messages Well, no,

we'll get we'll get to how to comment and interact

with us at the end of the show But before we

go we have another episode of that Infamous world

famous the biggest thing going right now Maybe

we should have put this on the top ten, which

I don't know why we didn't even think about that

but We bring you episode 9 of Unknown, A2 Boutai.

King Arthur, the King of Camelot? That's a legend.

And besides, if it was real, it took place hundreds

of years ago. How would he still be alive? Or

is he a descendant? Or is this all just some

kind of coincidence? No, no, my boy. It isn't

just a coincidence. Nor am I merely a descendant.

I am the man himself. As for my age, that's...

is thanks to the Master. So many questions crowd

into my mind at once. It overwhelms me. Which

do I ask first? So I repeat the one that was

only half answered. How could this Master keep

you alive for so long? He has power. Power to

undo my rule. Power that goes beyond the thoughts

of what even a modern man could imagine. I...

am the Master, and Arty, I see you have gone

well beyond the restraints of your curse." A

miracle of modern medicine, I'm afraid. The Master

steps out of the dark and into the light. Not

only did he step out of the light, it looked

like he also stepped out of Arthur's time. So

did his wardrobe, for it was armor of a knight,

but it was rusted down to a rough yellow -orange

sandpaper. Not only was it quality akin to a

horror story, but it was a horror show of a design

as well. Horns and spikes sticking out in all

directions. A mess that would make a cactus jealous.

Unlike his suit of armor, his face was undisturnable.

Only eyes of burning coal showed from under his

helmet. Well, I shall have to remedy that. Don,

et tu, Brute? I was just keeping tabs on Artie,

you see. I was going to report his deception

right after this. Oh, I'm quite sure, Don. And

who do we have here? Me? I know who you are,

well, as much as anyone can. I was being rhetorical.

Well, then, to be fair, you should tell me who

you are. I think it should be quite apparent

at this point. Besides, at this point, it has

become moot. My sword appears to come alive,

like it has a mind of its own. Arthur tries to

hold onto it the best he can, but it's beyond

his strength. He loses his grip, and the sword

flips around to confront the former old man.

Without hesitation, the sword plunges through

his gut. A scream calls out, and it's mine. No!

I'm late and I know it, but I still try to grab

onto the hilt, another failed attempt to save

a life. As soon as my skin touches the hilt,

another light emanates from my skin and the dying

King Arthur. A chorus of voices sings out in

my head. One annoying voice rings out louder

than the rest. Take me with you, grab hold! For

better or worse, I'd do as I'm told. Grabbing

hold of the thick, greasy hair of the disembodied

head, the late becomes enough to blind a man.

No! You tricked me! You will not escape my grasp.

I felt it deep within. Lord Wilt spoke a lie.

For we were already a long distance away. The

surroundings became a pure white, and then slipped

to black. Wake up! Wake up, unknown! We are here.

Did I die? No, you have arrived. Where? Where

is my father? Dead. I am afraid. Well, hope you
