About this Episode

The hosts look back on 2014 through the lens of movies, TV, and their own podcast journey. They discuss standout entertainment like Arrow, The Flash, and Guardians of the Galaxy, alongside major disappointments including Gotham, the 300 sequel, and The Legend of Hercules. They also reflect on a year of Talking in Circles, highlighting favorite episodes and games, fan interaction, and how the podcast has evolved since its start.

Hey, I'm Bryce Carlson, writer of Hit and managing

editor at Boom Studios, and you're listening

to Talking in Circles. 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? I think you and I are

going in circles. It feels like we're going in

circles. The circuit is now complete. When I

left you, I was but the learner. Now I am the

master. Because it's a circle. Yeah, we heard

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

would change. This is Greg. This is Chuck. And

this is Dan. And we are talking in circles about

the cats. Yo, network. Today we have a very special

episode of Unnumbered 50. Wow, it's almost been

a year. Kind of crazy. And today also, we're

coming once again, about one year ago we came

from here, and now we're coming again. And that's

from Greg Beverly Studios, aka Greg's Kitchen

Table. Thanks for having us, Greg. No problem.

Please excuse the dog that's whining in the background.

We promise we're not doing anything bad to it.

Just wants to be in the podcast. Yeah, we're

just showing it no love whatsoever. But yeah,

so today is our 50th episode and actually kind

of works out well because it's also kind of the

closing of 2014 as a whole So, you know, we'll

get into some of our favorite stuff that happened

this year regarding movies TV All that great

stuff and also second segment getting into the

more important stuff the favorite moments from

the podcast in the past year But before we get

to all that how's the weekend going for you guys?

How was your Christmas vacation? It needs to

be longer, that's my big thing. I had to use

up a lot of my vacation time from work, but it's

definitely worth it. I always look forward to

the time off to just kind of chill out, relax,

catch up on my reading, which I haven't really

done too much of because, well, girlfriend takes

up a lot of time, so. Those are important. Girlfriends

or the reading? Girlfriends. How about you, Shaq?

How's your Christmas going? Or how'd your Christmas

go? Oh, very good. I had a really good Christmas

this year for a lot of different reasons. One

reason, my uncle and his girlfriend got engaged,

so that was really cool. Oh, nice. Yeah. And

his two sons, which obviously are my cousins,

lived in Florida, and they've moved back up here,

so I get to hang out with them a little more

now. That's pretty cool. Cool. They might be

listening to this. I don't know. Just want to

say hi to my mom. Please god, I hope my mom doesn't

listen to that. My mom's listening from the other

room. So Greg will be in his best behavior. And

that's something really cool we did through my

work. We did this wish program thing for the

holiday and what we did was we took a preschool

class at a Head Start facility. And held them

for ransom. My boss's wife works for them. To

qualify to be in the program. They have to be

very low -income family So there was a class

of 33 kids and we knew they really weren't gonna

get a whole lot for Christmas if anything so

We took up collections in my office and raised

over $2 ,000 bought them all a bunch of gifts

and Even had some money left over that we took

another family and bought them a bunch of gifts

and stuff So that was really really cool. That

is that's that's pretty awesome yeah and we got

what was really cool too we got to deliver the

presents to them at their preschool like they're

all you know three four years old yeah one of

our guys is a volunteer firefighter so they let

him borrow the fire truck for the day another

guy dressed up as santa claus so he had santa

in a fire truck what if there was a fire It was

it was cool how they worked out because the day

before they needed the truck and the day after

they needed the truck It was like totally open

and the kids just loved it like they saw Santa

they were checking out the fire truck and Like,

you know, we passed out the gifts to them. They

were all like super excited and You know just

watching them open like open their gifts and

that's all everything They had these huge smiles

on their faces. It was really really cool Nice.

To be honest, if Santa came in a fire truck to

my work, I'd be excited. We did something similar

to my work. We didn't raise money, but we created

these bags for the homeless. They were with food,

sandwich bags, and stuff like that, full of meals.

There was a competition between two of our different

departments, and we made like... ended up making

nearly 200 different bags. So it was, you know,

our department won, my department won, so not

to rub it in, but you know, we care more. That's

what I'm saying. We care more. Well, you both

have jobs that apparently care more. My job did

absolutely nothing. We went out for lunch. Well,

I feel bad because you're saying you need a longer

vacation. I get kind of I get spoiled because

I have from Christmas day off until I don't go

back to the fifth. So I get spoiled. So I have

plenty of time to catch up on movies and all

that great stuff. So I've been spending a lot

of time actually working on like end of year

articles that'll be at keycastradio .com. So

you can look at those stuff about, you know,

different movie awards, my top 10 movie list.

And I actually doing a comic list for the first

time this year. So, though, I mean, I technically

read 10 comics that are current. So I don't know

how much, how much that really works. But so

it's been, it's been an eventful week, of course,

and Having some time off. I had an opportunity

to do some fun stuff as well One thing we actually

did though was in the Christmas spirit was we

went to go see it's a wonderful life But it was

actually we've tried to be cultured because you

know, we're adults now and it was a play version

of it It was like an old radio play So you get

it's like it they kind of play it like you're

back in the 50s and you're watching an old radio

show like a live -action radio show We do you

have different give like five different actors.

They're playing multiple parts, but it's kind

of like a hybrid so they can kind of It's like

a smaller production. It was actually really,

really cool. Cause they had someone like in the

back in the corner doing all the different sound

effects with like jugs and like, is that the

guy who are the guy went from police? Exactly.

Like a Wilson could get any other, you know,

back then they had to use like, you know, actual

physical objects and stuff like that. So that

was kind of cool. It's like, um, seeing it in

that form. They had a Like five different actors

and what's kind of interesting is in in between

the different acts like intermission and whatnot

They did they had commercials like like old -timey

commercials. Like one was for Old Bay, which

is very popular in Baltimore if we put it on

everything from wings of crabs of french fries

and Also for H &S Bakery, which is a famous bakery

in Baltimore. So it was kind of like catered

towards the Baltimore area in that way That was

interesting and it was I love that time period

and they had all the old -fashioned it was kind

of it was cool it was kind of and the actors

are really good there is this one guy who he

felt like the ultimate old -time game show host

like he has like the cool mustache and he was

just very much like a showman and they're all

they're all pretty impressive because they're

all playing multiple parts within the same scene

so it didn't require you to have some Concede

were you realizing this guy's arguing with himself,

but it was it was fun in that aspect So it was

hopefully we're going to see more plays. We're

actually another one My go -to is called one

night in Miami about Muhammad Ali It's just like

them on to him the night before he changes his

name We might get into go -to so it's a lot of

fun But I don't know what do you guys have you

been up to anything else with your free time?

I feel like that Muhammad Ali things just gonna

be like Think my name should be mom and I'll

leave 50 bucks for that ticket people Wow Dictionary

it's like big book of names You wasn't a fan

of alliterations I've actually watched something

that I don't think you guys have probably ever

heard of It's called Marvel's Agents of Shield.

I'm not sure if you guys... They actually have...

What's that about? There's these agents and they're

from this organization called Shields. What does

Shield stand for? It's this big long thing. If

you ask what BPRD is, I can tell you that one.

It's like that inspector. I don't know the name.

I don't know what it stands for. Strategic Hazard

Intervention Espionage and Logistics Division.

Shut up won the door price. Yeah, and that's

with no computer. That's just straight. Yeah,

that was straight straight from the old mind

You should just drop the mic and walk away Just

drop your very expensive mic onto the ground

very slowly. It's more like turning it But yeah,

they actually have agents of shield on Netflix

They have the first season so I actually had

the had the time over the holiday break to to

catch up with that and I 13 hours you'll never

get back I It actually turned out a lot better

for me than I thought it was gonna be from my

first initial watch of the first Seven or eight

episodes and giving up on it. Yeah towards the

end it got I Say midway through the first season

it really started to pick up especially with

the whole there's people in shields that really

shouldn't be and Trying to figure out who that's

gonna be and I was actually really surprised

who the turncoat was yeah in the shield organization

I It was just really surprising who actually

turned out to be the agent that crosses and i'm

actually looking really forward right now to

seeing uh the second season seeing where that's

going at this point i think that move making

that one character what they did that saved the

whole show oh definitely did and that was at

the point when they you know when they tied it

in with the captain america movie and from there

that's when everything kind of took off i think

is do you think that was their um intent because

they kind of I don't think they ever intended

to switch that character. I think that was kind

of a thing that was like, you know, let's do

this to help us out. And I think it was, I don't

think it was a planned thing from the very beginning,

honestly. Yeah, because that character seemed

to be very nice to that. Like he wasn't even

on your radar of like top people that would be,

would turn against. The organization, I guess

you would say so what it was like when agent

Colton turned on the team Yeah, i've heard i've

heard that like that uh once it tied in with

captain america winter soldier got Markably better

and then the second season you've been watching

the second season right chuck that that's been

really good. Yeah I still need to catch up with

that. I did see it's on Netflix so maybe I have

to sit down and watch it. I think I stopped after

like the third or fourth episode. Oh wow, you

stopped really short. Yeah, I did stop short.

Yeah, you're gonna have to wait a couple episodes

after that one to get to the actual good stuff.

Yeah, so I've been... Check it out. Maybe once

both seasons are on so I know that the second

seasons they're waiting for Just skip to like

episode 10 or something They also have a awesome

I'm not sure if this is gonna make it better

for you, but they have Bill Paxton in there I

heard yeah, I do like Bill Paxton. So that's

that does make it better for me I also hear Patton

Alswalt shows up for an episode. Yes, he does.

Yeah, so which is pretty he does a pretty good

job with it, too He's um, he's in a couple more

in the second season too. Nice. So yeah, I might

have to That one episode's really gonna throw

Dan for a loop after you said that. Yeah, so,

very cool. How about you, Chuck? Have you been

watching anything? Well, firstly, I gotta...

I gotta apologize. I haven't been on the podcast

in, like, a few hours. Yeah, he went rogue that,

to a different podcast today. Yeah, you know,

it goofed me all up. Hasn't been back since,

since. But I'm sure nobody missed me, because...

I don't know. i think ramble on anyway what technically

you're on last week it was just a little bit

of a recording and then giving so but uh... a

couple of interviews i missed there which you

don't really need me there anyway um... you know

that the guests are the focal point of the other

for sure but uh... yet i've watched a little

bit of stuff cannot go without Talking about

my flash and arrow event I'm actually caught

up so I can actually join in so I am not so I

cannot yeah, there was a huge flash arrow crossover

event, which I'm sure everybody knows about but

we had the Well, the first night was the flashed

up episode and then the second night was the

arrow episode but they each appeared in the others

show and I thought was really really well done.

I was super excited going into that And it did

not disappoint at all. I thought it was really

well done. It wasn't like corny at all and I'm

telling you the more You guys might be surprised

at this, but the more and more I watch these

shows You know, they're really leaving smallville

in the dust Wow, those are dangerous words. They're

far far in a way better written than smallville

in my opinion Yeah, I um, I ended up I really

I think I like the flash Episode with arrow more

than the arrow episode with flash I like them

both but I guess mostly because the flash arrow

showdown at the end of The flash was really good.

I was like spoiler Well, it's it's in the pre

it's called flash versus arrow Still spoiler

there people people internet's gonna blow up.

Yeah Yeah, I thought like their fight was actually

it was like wow, this is So well done for a TV

show. I was not expecting yeah it to be and I

also thought like, you know He has superpowers

and how they're gonna make this work. So it Seemed

legit you would think right from the back like

how could an arrow even compete with? Flash with

his powers and they did a good job with that

for a while But they sort of made it believable

with a couple of things that arrow did. Yes I

don't know. It was really well done. I like the

one with flash going into the arrow show, but

I think it was it didn't have that moment into

it so and i guess like i thought flash was not

nearly as as vital to that storyline as arrow

was to the flash storyline yeah but uh cool i

wish they didn't cut it off at the end though

where they were they were uh You know about to

have another sparring match in the warehouse.

They kind of don't let you see it. They just

cut it off Arrow kills flash it's like Sorry

about that flash gets a text and he goes to check

it and just hit in the face with an arrow So

a question have what have you been liking more

this this is the season of arrow or this first

season of flash? I gotta say the season of flash

Not say I'm disappointed in arrow. I mean so

far. I think the best season of arrow was to

season two yeah This one's still good, but I

think it's just for me. It's falling off a little

bit Maybe it'll pick up more in the second half

here, but I really enjoyed watching flash progress

and it seems like Like some shows take like a

full season to get up to speed no pun intended

But it seems like flash is already in stride

and it's just like it's doing really well I think

it helped that they probably learned from a lot

of the mistakes of arrow and they kind of had

to Had a head start in a lot of ways running

They didn't stumble out of the gates A little

flat -footed at first, but you know, I think

it really dug their heels What's kind of funny

because this flash has better ratings an arrow

too And I just I wonder if just because it has

superpowers that people get more interested in

it What was neat to the the producer there that

kind of works he works both sides both shows

there At first he told me He kind of works both

fields he's bisexual Won't call him by name no

he like originally ruled out any superpowers

in the arrow show when they worked on this crossover,

he said you know what maybe this could work like

because Fans really enjoyed it obviously and

they made it work pretty well in the plot line

So he actually came out and said he's not ruling

out any superpowers for the arrow show from from

now on Well, I mean they kind of had superpowers

with that that drug they were using kind of yeah

It was I mean it was on the borderline of superpowers.

What are they it was like Captain America where

it's like Yeah, maybe a human could do that.

Yeah, it's kind of like, you know, super advanced

steroids, basically. Yeah. So they came close,

I would say. Maybe I could, I'd be interested

in seeing some of the flash villains crossover.

And I mean, you had what the, the, the time guy,

the time guy, the clocking show up in a, in the

flash. So then, then you had the little cameo

by a firestorm there at the end. That was pretty

cool. Yeah. Yeah. I'm curious if. They'll end

up being like a firestorm show and then you have

the you know, the captain adam storyline that's

building in arrow. So I wonder if that'll end

up going any place i'm surprised honestly, I

read the other day that um, they haven't picked

up The second season of flash yet, but they have

to like they they're gonna do it eventually I

mean they picked up a second season of vampire

diary. So it's not gonna I'm because I know there's

there's talk about like other TV series coming

like possibly Supergirl and TNT might be doing

teen Titans and I mean guess those will be technically

separate well Supergirl I guess good technically

crossover. It's if it's CBS, but The cool part

is they even though Supergirl is gonna be on

CBS. I think they're yeah. Yeah, so it'll be

like a cross -network thing, but That actually

may cross over with the flash and arrow universe.

Yeah, the same producers working on it And I

can't remember his name. I want to say I want

to say burlandi, but i'm not sure Yeah, it's

interesting. There's a lot a lot in development

and then there's gotham and and then there was

Because it's to the worst of 2014. Uh, no, I

don't did you get to see the the aero finale

with razal ghul? I did though. I I kind of started

watching it but fell asleep so i had to go back

and watch it really well done if anyone hasn't

seen that you got to see that i ended up waking

up at the end of it and seeing how it ended so

kind of left wondering how that's going to progress

i'm i'm glad they didn't like this is a little

bit of a spoiler if you don't want to hear but

i'll try not to ruin it but they didn't like

they didn't kind of uh pull the wool over your

eyes making you think like arrow could actually

beat him Like I like the way they did it. Yeah,

you know what I mean? Because obviously also

ghouls been like Peak training for like 70 years

or something. Yeah again thing. Like you can't

expect someone to go and beat him That's been

yeah, you know an arrow for seven years trading

for you know I had trading for an afternoon or

two. So I took a karate class in college. I watched

a lot of YouTube videos But yeah, I guess kind

of anything else is that Um, if you have any

more that's I think that's what I just I have

a lot of movies to watch because I got a lot

for Christmas All the Marvel ones that I I Held

off on buying so that people would have something

to get for me Nice Guardians and Captain America

and Days of Future Past all that good stuff.

So Very cool. My mom my parents didn't care for

Guardians too much. I know if they really liked

about Guardians but the music My mom was singing

along unfortunately, I thought they would like

the raccoon I would have thought my mom would

like to rock it as well, but she she was all

about the the base About that base about that

base no group I did not use use that song I had

I had a couple people like a couple guys at work

that are like into these movies too and stuff

and You know when they saw the preview way back

then like Alex dumb, you know But then when they

saw the movie like I was like the best one. Yeah

Like so cool the one guy I got I got the one

guy obsessed with Thanos now he thinks Like yeah

pretty much It's interesting did you see like

James Gunn had he did like an interview talking

about Thanos and like how that was like the one

thing Marvel gave him that he had to do was include

him in some way Yeah, so it would she like he

I guess was kind of difficult It's like you have

to include him, but you can't give away too much

at the same time So yeah, I'd be interested in

seeing how that works with the next Guardians

movie and you did what he did well with it Yeah,

and then there's a whole thing where like Josh

Brolin kind of let it slip in an interview He's

like, oh, yeah infinity war will basically be

Thanos versus everyone and then like James Gunn

like had to clarify a little bit and he said

like, you know, Guardians 2 won't be crossing

over with the Avengers at all. And then people

took that out of context and said, Avengers and

Guardians are never teaming up. And he had to

straighten it out again and say they could possibly

down the line. I'm just saying the next movie

they're not. So because, you know, no one ever

overreacts on the internet to interviews or anything.

So that was shocking. He said guardians is never

coming out ever again. No, it's like yeah, that's

kind of crazy people take things and Everyone

wants that clickbait. So, you know But kind of

getting into that we don't we're it seems kind

of perfect transition. We're getting into 2014

stuff. So You know looking at movies this year.

Would you say you know looking at the bass of

2014? We had there's a quite a competition and

regarding best comic book movie, you know, you

had guardians you had Captain America you had

You know x -men DSP should passed maybe a spider

-man. I don't know That also it also came out

this year but even it's in City 2 came out on

300 and I think snowpiercer, which is Technically

a comic book related movie that So would you

say guardians out of that is your favorite or

would you go more so Captain America or X -Men?

Whoo, it's tough. I don't know. I I liked all

three like a lot. I don't think I could even

pick a favorite I don't know it depends what

I'm what mood I'm in on that particular day It's

like, you know caps one of my favorite characters

and Thanos one of my favorite characters and

I really love the Days of Future Past storyline

The sentinels and everything that was well done.

So yeah, don't make me choose Great. Could you

choose or are you also torn? Yeah, I could kill

my children Well, it's not my children but uh,

but in the future just it's you know, it's a

staple to make that known Yeah, so the cops can

arrest me easily enough. Okay. Um, but yeah,

I I could pick it out of movie I definitely thought

guardians was by far my favorite Followed very

closely by Captain America and frankly, I know

i'm probably gonna get a little bit of beef for

this but uh x -men Wasn't my most favorite comic

book movie ever. It was really good, but I didn't

give it a lot of props like some people have

Interesting because I would I think cap is my

favorite out of all of them I think it just structurally

is the best. Um, yeah I think it I mean I think

Guardians is probably a lot more fun of a film

and has a great soundtrack and of course but

I think the characters are a lot of fun but I

think Cap like has is like the complete movie

with great action the story itself is really

great and there's a lot to it and great performances

throughout and does some interesting things and

completely rewrites how what Marvel was up to

that point so I do I think Cap is probably my

favorite and I'd actually say I could see what

you're saying regarding X -Men Greg because the

first time I saw it I was Wasn't sure I'm like,

I don't know if I like it as much as I thought

I would I didn't appreciate it a lot more watching

it a second time in the theater Well, I do have

it on blu -ray and stuff. So I have seen it a

couple of times. Oh, yeah Yeah, it's it's still

hasn't really done much for me a second or third

See cuz I'd actually would put I think I like

X -Men more than Guardians I like Guardians a

lot but I maybe it's just a bias of my own. I

don't know. I can't let go I think I think you

kind of You took the words of what I was thinking

in my mind just now like if I could take away

my emotions and look at it objectively Yeah,

Captain America is the better movie in my opinion

Just like you said structurally like the plot.

I mean was so well written Like Guardians is

a little more Simple yeah, but it's definitely

the most fun like you said like so it's it's

kind of what you're looking for but Think with

Guardians what was great about Guardians is probably

the best like intro movie that was ever done

baby because it didn't focus a lot on like origins

it just kind of got the groundwork going and

it's probably the biggest risk that Marvel's

taken so far so Yeah, and I mean, I think a talking

tree and a raccoon into household names, which

is kind of impressive. So although I mean It's

a great year to be it's a great year to be a

geek considering like you like we have this choice

like last year 2013 I thought the comic book

movies were okay, but I think this year we had

you know two two to three really great ones and

then I I know a lot of people hated Sin City

2 I thought it was okay. I didn't hate it as

much as a lot of people 300 rise of Empire was

boring Yeah It had one good performance from

Eva Green, but besides that It's usually she

pulls through in that that aspect Yeah, she gave

the film a lot of support as you would say But

yeah, and then I don't know if if you've seen

stone piercer It's actually on Netflix, which

is it is on which is a lot of fun so I was reading

an article at just the other day actually about

kind of the decline of like the indie like comic

movies this year and like how Marvel basically

ruled the box office this year with all their

stuff and I mean that was kind of expected but

I guess like even compared to years past like

some of those ones like 300 and Sin City and

stuff they really dropped off yeah like you know

box office performance wise yeah they like Sin

City 2 was a huge bomb 300 did okay but not nearly

as good as they used to and Even Amazing Spider

-Man 2 didn't do as well. I think Marvel has

the two biggest films of the year right now,

which is kind of crazy. We're not counting Spider

-Man. Spider -Man 2 is Marvel. No, no. It's still

with Sony, though. Maybe not for much longer.

Who knows? Yeah, that was interesting, too. Did

you read anything about those emails that they

hacked? A little bit. Marvel almost got Spider

-Man back. There may be some truth to it. I don't

know. Nothing has been announced officially though,

but like I'm gonna start the rumor mill Well,

you're on the internet so well what I heard was

Marvel could use spider -man in Captain America

Civil War Sony would actually produce 25 % of

the movie they would actually pay for 25 % of

the movie if Marvel paid for 25 % of the next

spider -man movie and Sony would have total control

over the dialogue the suit and The actor the

hairstyle. Yeah So they would still have like

control over that stuff and then to sweeten the

deal Sony would be allowed to use two Avengers

characters in their spider -man movie just to

tie in the universe even better Seems really

intriguing. I have no idea if there's any truth

to it or not, but that would be pretty sweet

That would be interesting It's like it's like

nfl is trying to get trades and we'll give you

play to be named later Might give you Hawkeye

later on, you know That I mean that'd be interesting

I would be curious how that goes if if they do

that if i'm guessing that would mean andrew gorfield

if there would not be Would not be spider -man

someone else would step in So we were talking

about stuff we liked was anything that came out

this year or you know movie TV anything wise

that ended up being kind of a Disappointment

that you had your hopes up for that ended up

kind of being a dud I know we mentioned Gotham.

I don't know if we ended up if you would officially

call that kind of disappointing and it's when

it finally came out Yeah, that was that was something

I was looking forward to and kind of let me down

I Quit very early on I think I stayed longest

on that one, and I'm even not watching it. I

quit after the cheesy balloon man episode. That

was just too much. There wasn't actually a cheesy

balloon, right? There wasn't, like, they didn't

have another balloon guy. It sounds delicious.

And then I think one you mentioned before, which

was the 300 sequel, I was hoping that would be

really, really great, but I kind of walked out

of there like, ehh. Yeah, I think you know, I

think it really missed Gerald Butler the guy

that was like, you know, the yeah the main star

he just didn't really have the You know the charisma

I guess I don't know just the fortitude that

Gerald Butler had in the original 300 that made

it work And this year guys, I have actually walked

out of my first movie Yeah, yeah first movie

I've ever walked out on I didn't even ask for

my money back. I just walked right out. It was

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good.

What the hell is up with this? Why can't Steve

Krell be in an actual funny movie? Because he

is actually really funny and I don't understand

what is going on. When will this title ever end?

Please kill me now. I actually even fell asleep.

to this movie, which is exceptionally hard for

me to do. If I'm out in public, I usually don't

fall asleep in front of people. If there's something

going on, a lot of moving pictures, I get distracted

by those, and so I'll watch. But this apparently

did not have enough movement or charisma to...

keep me in the theater um and it was one of my

first dates with gaby too so i was like do you

want to go because this is awful she was the

one that picked it out i threw gaby under the

bus there but she had a terrible taste in a movie

right there well you know You can't win them

all, I guess. Well, I think I have a worse movie

than that. Luckily, I didn't see it in the theater.

If I did, I'd probably walk out. But I catched

it when it was on HBO. It was The Legend of Hercules,

not the one with The Rock, but with Ken Lutz.

I heard that movie was awful. I think I said,

I saw a better CGI in Oregon Trail. Then it was

so it was awful. It was so bad and oh It is I

think we need to give up on that guy becoming

an action star like yeah He was in spendables

3 He was I mean, I know he was in Twilight. He's

just like I know he's a big dude But like maybe

make him like a bodyguard or something, but he's

no he has no acting talent whatsoever He's so

dry and dead and the movie itself was really

really bad. It was If it was like a tv movie

or you know direct to video like okay But it

was a legit movie that was released like a wide

release and like this is just embarrassing for

everyone involved It was it would rank in one

of the worst movies i've ever seen it was it

was awful so and then you have like Movie we

talked about earlier this year like the teenage

mutant ninja turtle movie. Well I forgot about

that. Yeah, the new turtles and the new transformers.

I mean that Kind of uh seeing I you know, you're

trying to die a little bit more and more That's

why I tried to make up for it. I got a whole

bunch of uh, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles funko

pops It's watching all the old stuff Well, the

funny thing is like like uh, I mentioned the

gift drive we did at my work Like the big thing

with kids this year was Teenage Mutant Ninja

Turtles. There was a lot of kids asking for that

stuff and i'm like That's great, but i'm like

you guys don't even know the half of the Potential

that they could have like they were so much better

back in the day you give them the older ones.

It's like no Well, I actually gave I I bought

because I was one of the shoppers where he had

shoppers that went out and bought gifts And the

one kid I knew liked the turtle. So I got him

a figure of the 1984 Turtles, you know like that

version when they first came out in the comic

where they all had the red bandanas. Yeah Kid

was like, what the hell is this? Take it back,

mister! Throws it in your head. And I guess it

came with like a comic in it, like an age -appropriate

comic. It wasn't like the original, but... Here's

this comic full of death and murder. See, I went

old school. I was like, yeah, I didn't get any

of the new movie stuff for them, but... Well,

the new movie ones look like grotesque and kind

of odd but yeah Well, what was the kids actual

reaction? I do The kid like he ripped it open

and he was like he was holding it out and he

was like, yes He's like running around like showing

people Nice I got him the Raphael one with the

with the size good choice good choice Figured

like then you wouldn't be compute confused because

he is the red one Yeah, so I figured if I got

him like a Leonardo with like a red thing. He'd

be like what the hell? Okay, this is how it actually

goes In your origin, it's you know, watch this,

you know make and watch turtles forever and Which

is actually kind of funny because that's I ended

up watching that because of the podcast because

when you brought it up So, oh, yeah, you can

get to that a little later I also just some of

the things that ended up disappointing me this

year I did like a list of my most anticipated

films like number two on that list was interstellar

and I talked about it like a while back when

it first came out and I don't think it was a

bad movie I think it's still in it being overall

successful, but it was considering Christopher

Nolan, you know, the guy who brought us dark

night interception and It uh, I had a number

of issues with it. So I probably anticipation

was too high, but it that was probably that and

and godzilla which I liked but I Had a lot of

issues with two probably two of the bigger disappointments

movies that I still ended up enjoying but I had

higher hopes for that kind of didn't quite hit

Yeah, that's a good point But any anything else

come out this year that surprised you that you

thought would be bad, but ended up being Good,

maybe even comic book related or anything like

that The Fault in Our Stars. No, I'm kidding.

The movie's a downer. I've still yet to watch

it. I've heard good things. I've still yet to

see The Fault in Our Stars. You will get instantly

depressed. That's what I've heard. What else

came out? I don't even remember. Well, you know,

did you see Divergent by any chance? No, I didn't.

I did. It was the movie that the teenage girls

behind me were going through some life changes.

wanted to change uh... actually one uh... one

that really surprised me uh... you talked about

like last episode or something but i finally

had to the hunger games uh... movie and i like

that a lot uh... i thought this was way better

than the second one uh... because they explained

more stuff i kind of got more of like what was

happening there and i was like for some reason

i was really confused to the first two okay i

didn't read the books or anything so i was kinda

clueless about what was happening but This third

one like I really understood more of what was

happening and it was I thought it was really

well done Would you put that as your favorite

so far? I think I think I still would put the

first one in there. Yeah, they kind of introduces

everything But I thought the third one was better

than the second one. Yeah Interesting and Philip

Seymour Hoffman was good in there. Yeah, and

they really didn't Like show anything happening

to him. So I'm kind of wondering how they're

gonna explain his Like his not being present

in the fourth film i'm sure they'll come up with

something But I think it'll still be there because

I think they shot the they shot both at the same

time Like I think it's like he was nearly done

filming when he before he passed away I think

he had just one scene that But uh, Hershey was

supposed to be a vital scene that he won't be

for so it's supposed to be someone else doing

it So my guess is they'll figure it out something

i'm kind of curious what they're going to do

next year with like fast and furious with Paul

Walker and how that's gonna work out Well, I

heard his brothers kind of took over the role

from them and they're one of the brothers is

actually gonna take over permanently in that

role. Oh, yeah I know he's like he's technically

in the seventh one. So I wonder if they'll just

like Next scene. He looks a little different.

I don't know but uh, maybe a little it can't

be as bad as that Headed my head no, I had the

one Bruce Lee movie where he passed away and

then they stuck in a cardboard cutout It is one

of the worst Bruce Lee films ever but it is hilarious

how they kind of scary thing is a cardboard cutout

of Bruce Lee could probably still kick This cardboard

cutout does punch back so and they had a guy

that looked somewhat similar to bruce lee but

not at all and they put sunglasses on him oh

man that was lee bruce well i think we need a

similar shoe with like uh brandon or was it brandon

lee i forget his name yeah with the sun on the

crow on the crow yeah so that's interesting but

um yeah i can't even think of anything else that

really surprised me this year i mean that ended

up being better than like i said like i know

a lot of people hate it since city 2 i thought

I thought it was not nearly as good as the first

one, but it ended up I liked liked it more than

I anticipated So that was a pleasant surprise

and much in divergent, which I thought was okay.

I know that one's that second one's coming out

this year Yeah, hopefully I don't have to see

it. Yeah, I would I it was just kind of a dud.

Yeah Um, I I would prefer hunger games over that

Oh by far Plus I like uh, jennifer lawrence over

whatever shaylene woodley. Yeah I realized something

in Hunger Games that I never put two and two

together before but the district that Katniss

is from Like they're like the coal mining. Yeah,

and that's like our area because like I saw this

thing on Facebook with like a map of all the

districts in North America in like the world

of Hunger Games and Their district district 12

is like West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York,

and that's like the mining region and watching

the first movie I never put that together that

that could be the area we're from but yeah we're

you know this area is famous for coal mining

and stuff like that but I never realized like

you know it's like congratulations people on

our area you might actually get somebody like

Jennifer Lawrence You just be in the worst district.

It's also like the worst district in the movie

So but I'd rather be in the district that they

were in with that a huge underground missile

silo and they were like wable of the ground that

seems much safer And then there was like this

I guess maybe that three district was Seattle

With all the people in flannel. Yeah, all the

bounty paper towel guys Just some like we didn't

watch movies. There's some tv shows. I ended

up really enjoying this year, uh, even true detective

was which was huge, but Uh, silicon valley. I

don't know if you saw that but that was on hpo.

It's right. I I don't have the hpo the hpo. Yeah

Sorry, i've been hanging out with my grandmother

That was really good. I would I would if you

have an opportunity checking that out, um, uh

for true detective I just want to check out alexandria

didario Sure, you can get that scene on like

online or something Probably yes. Um, but yeah,

it's been it was pretty good year for TV and

walking dead's been pretty good this season Yeah,

I think it started off really strong. I'm curious

what's where it's gonna go next. So But it's

been a good good year to be a geek. So Anything

else before we take a break? Don't think so.

I'm sure I'll think of something later, but Got

a really big pop vinyl addiction this year that

you've heard of over the past nine million episodes

We'll get to that shortly all of the addictions

that were caused because of the podcast and all

that other great stuff all the new comics I'm

now reading because of this podcast and TV shows

and whatnot So we're gonna take a quick break

and get into more of the stuff we got into because

in the year of 2014 So we'll see in a bit Every

Punish your body count. Twice a month on Geekcast

Radio. All right, and welcome back. And we went

over all the movies and TV that we like this

year, of course, Arrow and... Guardians of Galaxy,

all that great stuff. But also 2014, probably

the biggest thing that happened in 2014 was the

fact that Talking in Circles became a podcast.

So, you know, it's only natural that we talk

about, you know, how it all went this year, what

we liked about what we did, you know, what we

hope to be doing again and how the podcast impacted

our lives and all that fun stuff. So I'm kind

of curious, you know, like over this past year

for you guys, of any specific game we played,

episode that comes to mind when you think about,

you know, some of your favorite moments from

the past year. Well, I think like some of my

favorite stuff was when we were doing like the

crazy news stories and Like fact of fiction those

stick out the most in my mind like those recurring

ones. Yeah the one the one story that the thinking

of all the crazy but true stories we went over

the one story that reminds me of was one that

you both ended up picking up but there was the

tourist and it was a Germany or forget what country

that I get that got stuck into the statue of

a female anatomy that he couldn't get out for

quite a long time I remember that was that was

one of those like you know proud to be American

moments that we went over I forget what episode

that was it was like the second time we did it

But anything about you Greg anything any game

that comes to the mind that you enjoyed playing

or anything like that I definitely enjoyed factor

fiction or sequel reboot Yeah, a lot of the games

that you came up with Dan were a lot of fun One

of my biggest failures, I think, on the podcast

was coming up with the one of guessing if it's

an actual superhero name or not and what their

abilities are. I don't think that went over to

quite the plumb that I was expecting. That was

pretty good. It was episode nine, the power of

names, where I thought it went well. Greg and

I or Chuck and I had to basically determine if

a character was real or not. It was like that

classic. Oh that guess who I am game talk show

back in the day where we had to try to determine

if the person was wheel That yeah, that was back

in episode 9 the power of names, but I also had

a game that didn't go really well when it was

the oh the time game I remember the time. For

those who didn't listen, basically was trying

to guess the year out of random facts. But I

think my facts were maybe too random and too

obscure, and no one in their right mind could

even guess it, Googling. Turns out Greg and I

were a little rusty on our histories. I should

have been more like, what comes after the year

1983? 1984, no. but um probably i we yeah we

did play a lot of cool games this year secretly

bone story is always good i'm curious to hear

what other people what other games people like

and we can bring them back and and make sure

we highlight those are ones you didn't like and

maybe you can stay away from them but one of

my favorites wasn't when we we did on repeat

but we'll be bringing it back again this march

which was the march march badass bracket we did

uh early on in the podcast where we try to determine

the biggest badass and in hindsight well now

looking at back back who won that's a bad choice

adrian peterson uh who uh you know you know certain

news came out after that so hopefully you know

person that wins doesn't get arrested for child

abuse. Turns out he wasn't the biggest badass,

he was just an ass. So that's it, but the process

within itself was kind of fun. I know GCR and

more says it has a little bracket they do where

they're right now currently they're trying to...

I like the way you said that, Daniel. They've

got a little bracket. Well, they do it too. There's

a little difference in ours. Ours is not nearly

as serious and we don't... We don't do with fan

vote. We just pick it ourselves because that's

how we roll. But here's here I'd be curious to

hear if people would want to see that come back

and what other badass characters Should we enter

into it that weren't into it last time? I've

been trying to keep a running list because 64

people is a lot. A lot of badasses that count.

So I hope to have a brand new 64 for next time

because I did come up with some that I think

would be great. And it could be anyone from comic

book characters, TV characters, real life people.

It makes it more fun the more random it is. I

mean, we had everyone from Tiny Tim to the Kool

-Aid Man to Batman and Wolverine and like we

said, Adrian Peterson. So we ran the game. gamut

of different craziness so that was that was itself

a good time and I mean I also got to thank the

people that we got the chance I know this last

month or two and we've had a lot of random interviews

and some more coming but like starting with you

know Charm City Games that started off the whole

interview thing and Bryce Carthlin from BOOM

Studios that then came from coming on and there's

another interview that'll be coming out shortly

from this from a group called, from a short film

called The Game Companion which Chuck unfortunately

missed because you know he has a life and had

to do other things which will be coming out so

you know within our first year we had a couple

interviews and hopefully getting some more So

maybe we'll get some famous people even famous

Jennifer Lawrence. Yeah, there's it's hard to

get a lot of people because a lot of people have

restraining orders against Greg There's a court

order that I cannot reveal who has a restraining

order against me Dan probably easier indicate

who was not Rosie O'Donnell might be one of the

few that doesn't have anything But I know Well,

I know that you love your top fives. I do love

my top fives. I should be bringing that up. Those

were a lot of fun to do and edit, honestly. I

don't know if I get overboard with some of the

clips sometimes, but I don't know. I find it

fun. Those were some really fun episodes doing

all those top fives. Yeah. We did so far, top

five anti -heroes, top five movies and favorite

movies and TV, which are good episodes to go

back to you if you're curious about what our

tastes are like. Cartoons. Top five cartoons

and top five... Underrated heroes or so or yeah

underrated character or something like that So

and and again any other top fives you'd like

us to do or games to come back I mean, there's

a lot there's a million different top fives we

could we could get into we also did some of the

Matt Washington Matt Washington Matt Rushmore

is like the Starting with the you know Matt Rushmore

of comedy and the Matt Rushmore of movie franchises

and we doing that again with different topics

and different different Items to debate because

I think there's a lot there we can choose from

I think we mentioned a few even like everything

from like top Matt Rushmore of movie vehicles

or fake vehicles or something like that so top

five running scenes Very easy to put into stone.

I hope you know I just like some of the Battle

Royale deep debate to make you know character

versus character head -to -head that those are

always fun discussions have that's when you can

make really totally switched to deep mode and

just argue fictional punches being thrown in

who would win and for what dumb reasons they

would have to we really let you keep keep them

fly so i think that we should definitely do that

again because there's ultimate uh... i started

playing this like marvel uh... game champions

it's just like you know, not a Facebook game,

but I guess it's like a fighting game that's

like one of those, you know, games for free,

but you end up paying more if you want to spend

for upgrades. But I'm not paying for anything.

But anyways, it kind of got me ideas of different

people to face against each other. Like there

was one with Colossus and not Colossus, but Juggernaut

and Thor. I'm like, I wonder who would win that?

Like that'd be a fun one to debate. So we can

always do that and bring in some new characters,

maybe outside of the Marvel world and stuff like

that. And I gotta say, I was looking through

some of the names of the podcasts and Greg helped

create a lot of the different names, but probably

my favorite name of the podcast we had was It's

Not a Tuma. Which, I don't know why, I love bad

puns and that was one of the worst. My favorite

name was Vladimir poopin which has really become

a come into lexicon since Vladimir Putin has

been a poop head And I guess we got to say if

like there was one running theme or one running

joke that came that was 2014 it was certainly

you know crapping into a bucket thank you and

frank movie randomly watched earlier this year

if we had anything that ever changed my viewpoint

on anything was learning there was an and frank

movie where someone defecated into a bucket and

in a moment that was probably by accidentally

comedic not meant to be but ended up a running

theme i think that was back was it space pope

that episode or it was around that time yeah

that was i was gonna say that our our favorite

uh character we created on the podcast was probably

space pope so i want to see space pope i think

it space post That has to happen. We need like

our new logo with a space pulp in a bucket. I

think you drew that I remember Greg. Yeah, I

drew a very shitty quick drawing of that So better

than when I could do so But the podcast is also

kind of got got I don't know about you but it's

got me into a lot of different things because

of what we talked about and the biggest probably

being we did some of these homework episodes

where Basically, we tried to give each other

things to read watch or listen to and one thing

that I got into because of Greg assigning it

to me was the saga comic and like that has kind

of changed my uh has got me down this bad path

of the fact that i've currently caught up with

that entire series so i really got into like

that saga because of this and that was kind of

cool so i gotta thank Greg i'm indebted to him

because of that comic you are very welcome and

i have discovered recently that i have no freaking

clue where the hell i put my saga comics no i

didn't take them i promise I know, but I was

looking forward on the one day to lend out to

somebody and I'm completely not up in my room

at all. I didn't have anything to do with them,

but I don't know about you. Did you guys end

up watching or reading or anything like that

because of the podcast? Did anything come to

mind at all? Well, very recently I read a comic

because we had an interview with the person who

came up with the comic and that was a hit with

Bryce Carlson and Wouldn't have been something

that I uh picked up from a convention or anything

like that, but it was it was definitely a good

read Yeah, I guess along the same lines I also

got into the card game of cockfight because of

term city games and I play some games But like

I never really played a card game like that.

So that that was a lot of fun So, you know the

power of all you need to do is if you wanted

me to buy something come on my show and interview

you and i'll end up buying your comic so, uh,

you know scotty young or uh, you know Brian Michael

Bendis, I've already bought a Scottie Young stuff.

So he should he should come on the podcast I

don't know Chuck anything for you or you know,

I'll just kind of all Third the point about Hit

the hit comic from boom studios. I thought that

was awesome. Like Greg. That's not something

I would normally gravitate to but you know being

like a noir crime sort of comic, but I really

liked the strong ties with the with the history

of like the LA hit squads and stuff and It was

just really cool to see that and there's something

that I normally don't read so I enjoyed that

a lot a little for issue miniseries and then

also Like some of the homework stuff you guys

gave me like the ultimate stuff and the old man

Logan nice had a great time reading that stuff

and Nothing really that I got addicted to sort

of a saga thing. Yeah, just kind of some one

-time things I really didn't get into I the same

thing with Jericho because I got the first one

we did I got to watch that and then watching

I certainly I haven't finished that series but

uh It was kind of nice because it's one of those

things where I was like I wanted to watch it

now I have to so Kind of the purpose of it. But

one thing we didn't mention, which I hopefully

will get to again, too, are some of our drafts

that we ended up doing. Those seem to go pretty

popular. So I'm curious if people like those.

We did the superhero draft and the action hero

draft. And then we have to do another one. So

because what I think you guys won, I get to win

the draft. Yeah, we did one where we created

our own superhero team. And I think Greg won

that one. Yeah. And then Chuck, you won the action

hero draft, I believe. I think so. Yeah, and

then I won the ultimate Saturday morning though.

So we we got I guess we have to break the tie

So I think one we're talking about doing next

would be the villain draft or something like

that So how that look forward to but I mean and

one thing I think we should also mention do is

like we had a lot I mean We're very young podcasts

in the especially when you look at some of the

podcasts that have been around a long time even

in keycast radio itself and we got a lot of great

fan interaction and one of the I mean early starting

off I think it was Kyle Hall wrote a letter when

we, you know, we finished each episode with a

letter and he was one of the first, actually

the only one so far, but he wrote a letter to

Marvel, which was really cool. And we've had

a lot of great comics on GeCast radio, which

is good to see, seeing people interact. And that's

a lot of fun being able to hear people, see that

people actually are listening and it's not just

us talking into the air. So, you know, we'd be

okay with that too. But uh, hopefully everyone

liked Greg's ongoing story of unknown Yeah, I

mean a lot of fun will be will be entering into

another episode Of that I know and what I'll

be hopefully doing too is Taking all the different

episodes of unknown and making it into like its

own mini podcast So we can listen to it and see

how my voice changes for the same character from

episode episode. That sounds completely different

So that'll happen once you know, I think I think

we're watch 12 episodes in so once ever if we

ever finish it if there's ever an end point,

but uh It'll be like it's on separate podcast.

So I gotta, I gotta give kudos to Greg for writing

that. I think it all started back in the speaking

of drafts with what, uh, the superhero draft,

when you kind of had a whole spiel for creating

your team and Chuck or I were left there thinking

like, we're picking this guy and the whole story

planned out and whatnot. So yeah, I kind of threw

myself over a cliff in a barrel there, I think.

It's it could be a little bit of a pain to write

those stories and I feel like I don't give them

enough enough Work that I really should but uh,

I think they come out really fun I think we have

a lot of fun doing the voices on those. Yeah,

it's My awful acting talent, but hey, you know

It's been so long since I've done the Unknown

Voice. I'm not sure if I can get back into it.

Gotta get back in the character. So when you

play them all together, it'll probably sound

different. Hey, you know, I'll get used to it,

but... I'm not as crazy as Christian Bale getting

into my character, though. Or like, you know,

some of those people. You just stay in character

outside of work? I don't have, um... i don't

have the unknown written on my name plate for

my trailer instead of my actual name on your

license plate it's just a bunch of question marks

it's like that's not you at all um yeah mommy

is the riddler driving that car nice yeah but

i should also thank definitely uh the co -founders

of gcrn with steve and mike giving us the opportunity

and kind of the place to kind of To put this

in geocast on geocast radio. I I know there's

kind of similar podcasts out there Maybe I don't

know but uh, that's our own little opinion. So

we're it's morphed a lot I know I've gone through

and Kind of we listened to some of the old episodes

and I definitely think we've gotten a lot better

in only a year time It's just a natural product

process and my editing has gotten a lot better

I think I over edited it a lot when we first

started and I don't know It's been a fun year,

it's been a fun thing. It's been a cool little

experiment that ended up going out pretty well.

Absolutely. I think too that not only your editing

got better, but I think you didn't have to edit

as much because we got to the point where we

didn't screw up as much. We could just kind of

flow freely through an episode. A lot less cursing

and throwing mics on the ground. And then also

we started not giving a crap about what we said

as much, I think. Definitely more natural, yeah.

i think it's just the progression of it all so

i said poop is poop gonna offend anybody damn

cut out poop i didn't mean to say poop what about

those people that don't poop it's like they may

not enjoy the fact that we said poop oh my god

they might really hate the fact that we called

an episode vladimir poopin so oh my god get rid

of that episode dan get rid of it now we've there's

been a lot of Worst names, I've almost named

episodes, but I'm like, I think iTunes would

get angry. So let's not try to anger the mind

of iTunes and speak giving iTunes. If you're

not bored and you want to give us a Christmas

gift, great iTunes review would be perfect. I

think we're up to 15 or so, which is great. So

more would be even helpful. As we move forward

with our episode titles and everything. Just

don't make any references to north korea because

they will hack us They've already done that chuck

They did not you know like the movie so they

hacked uh tony and got rid of all that stuff

but If they hacked our emails it'd be not nearly

as exciting and be like I I don't understand

any of this This is not exciting at all So yeah,

well, anyways, we'll stop rambling and stop celebrating

ourselves. It's kind of hard though I mean we

are the best podcast going, you know, just putting

that out there. We were kind of an internet -wide

phenomena. Yeah Group hug Internet high five

But we're gonna end each episode like we always

do with a letter and we're gonna end this week

with another episode of unknown It's been a while.

So but this is episode 13 of unknown in like

a lion a lot of attention to my establishment

I don't like attention my young friend so why

don't you tell me why you've been so rash I'm

looking for someone I see and why would you think

that I know anything about this person I searched

the city and he was nowhere to be found He went

missing around your establishment and he said

that he knew you. Well, I know many people. Why

don't you cut out all this shit and tell me who

it is exactly you're looking for. His name is

Don. Of the dead? What's so funny about that?

I didn't think that little shit had any friends.

I'm not his friend. Well then I have good news

for you then. I'm about to kill him for skipping

out on his assignments. What? You can't do that.

I can. That man's skin is my possession and I

can do with it what I will. I take a step forward

and just that little motion sent bodyguards into

action. Several from other rooms and the two

that I was fighting outside stepped into the

doorway. Completely surrounded, I decided a change

of tactics was needed. Brains over brawn. What

if I helped him with his tasks? No, I'm not gonna

let him go because of a promise set forth by

a man that has attacked me and that I don't know.

Fine, I'll do them myself. Nah, you should take

one of my men with you. If you don't handle the

task, my man will. And then he will have another

assignment, if you know what I'm saying. I hope

you're not going to be giving me the goon that

was bugging me outside. Oh, no! You have proven

that my lower end thugs aren't any match for

you. You'll should be going with my top assassin.

Okay, so what is my first task then? Well, for

a man called Don of the Dead, your friend didn't

like to take a life. As you can surmise, I need

you to kill someone. Target and method? I'm starting

you off with an easy one. A merchant in the area

has been trying to turn all the other merchants

against me. I need them to be an example to the

rest of why going against me is bad for the health.

As for the method, I want something a bit showy.

You've got it. I felt sick. I never wanted to

kill an innocent man. But if killing a person

or two leads me to saving Don, so I can then

save my dad. Then so be it. Ah, and here's your

partner now. Meet Cassandra Lyons. Miss Lyons?

Let's get this over with. Don't you want to know

my name? Why should I care? You'll be out of

my way, one way or another, soon. Fight nice

yous, too. Well, I'll be enjoyed that episode

of unknown Hopefully not have as long of a break

in between the next one. So should have some

more straightforward episodes I think we're gonna

take a little bit of a break from the interviews

and get back to good old Good old -fashioned

podcasting though. I say that and next week will

probably be an interview episode. So But after

this once we get through the holiday break and

come back new year So but yeah, I think that'll

be it for this week anything else you guys what

I mentioned before we bring this episode to a

close Am sorry for my dog making licking noises

during unknown it sounds like You you can you

can imagine let's just say like that was a very

very powerful man Greg was playing and you know

Well, I'll keep it at that I just wanted to thank

everybody for listening to us in our first year.

I know We're very young, we just started out,

and we appreciate everybody interacting with

comments and reviews and all that sort of stuff,

and emails and everything. It seems like we had

a lot of loyal listeners throughout the year

and everything, so we definitely appreciate that,

sticking around through our stuff. Yeah, definitely,

and I think some of the friends of the podcast

network, those that have retweeted our stuff,

and that's been a lot of great stuff. You know,

do a shout out to JD from In Session Film. We've

been running his ad on our podcast. He runs ours

on his. So if you've come to listen to us because

of In Session Film, awesome. Appreciate that.

So if you have not listened to In Session Film,

I definitely give that podcast a listen if you're

a movie fan or not. It's a great podcast. See

a lot of great work over there. So they've been

a big help as well. I'm sure getting people to

listen to us. But before we go, there's a lot

of ways to interact with us. Like I mentioned,

you can go to geecastradio .com and like I said,

go there, comment on the episode post, let us

know what you'd like us to do in 2015, which

just seems wrong to say out loud. Yeah, so anything

you'd like us to bring back. And like I said,

we'll try to bring back some of the stuff that

worked, try some new things and stop doing the

stuff that doesn't work because that's how we

do. You can also get us on Twitter and Facebook.

I'm on Twitter at movie revolt. Greg, you're

also at Twitter. What's your Twitter name? You

can get all the pop vinyl retweets and Emily

Radajkowski favorites at the Crate Forge. And

for 2015, Chuck's New Year's resolution is to

get on Twitter, but probably not, right? Uh,

probably not. But you could follow Chuck and

Spirit if you follow Talking in Circles. Also

we're on Facebook. Though we don't Facebook nearly

as much as we used to. I gotta get on that. But

we get most of our interactive Mickey Cash video.

Like I said also, love getting IT interviews.

That would be a huge help for our show. But anyways,

I'll stop blabbering. That'll be it for this

week. We will be back next week. Same time, same

channel, same podcast feed, but for now. This

has been Chuck. This has been Greg or this guy

who doesn't have a name yet It sounds like a

Frankie or something. I don't know And I've been

Dan and we've been talking in circles. We'll

see you next week So I gotta I gotta love the

fact that he must be the originator of the like

the New York accent He definitely is. Frankie

is definitely the originator of this accent that

I got going here. See? I'm guessing this character

won't last very long because you're gonna want

to, like, yeah, making that voice work for me

on the inside. So I'm doing that. I can't wait

until we get to the point where he just says,

I'm walking here. I'm walking here. What are

you blokes doing? It's podcasting here.
