Top 100 Animated Series Nominees – THE FAN VOTE REVEAL!!

Hi, this is Frank Todaro, and you're listening

to the Geekcast Radio Network. This is exactly

what you wanted. Hello and welcome to the Fan

Vote Reveal as we are presenting to you the Geek

Cast Radio's nominees for the 2026 edition of

our Top 100 Animated Series. This is episode

359 and apparently I'm not feeling strangely

fine, folks. I'm, of course, TFJuan Mike. Joining

me is Steve Megatron, a .k .a. George Bush. Knockin'

dick, knockin' dick. And of course, Optimus Solo,

hello. I thought you were going to call me Jimmy

Carter or something. I don't know. No. I don't

know where you would fall. Because I haven't

heard your presidential voice impressions. I

haven't either. Okay, Mr. Abe. I cannot tell

a lie. He's George, no matter which one. It doesn't

matter if it's the first or if it's the 40. No.

Oh, God. Now my brain's going to go. No, I can't

start thinking of what number the senior was.

Anyway, we're. What? Yeah, yeah, you did. Yeah,

well, it doesn't take much these days. After

17 years, it doesn't take much. We are bringing

it back from the GCRN 2025 Year in Review. Go

listen to that podcast, folks. We are getting

back to the nominees as we once again conclude

these nominations, this time by entering the

fan votes to... Continue the awesome year that

is 2026 here on the Geekcast Radio Network. Take

it away after this solo and tell us what the

fans want. So just to catch everybody up, if

you haven't been paying attention, we revealed

over the last few months of 2025, 250 possible

animated series that you could vote on for our

top 100 animated series redo. And with those

250, we open it up to the fans to let you guys

try to get some more, sneak some more shows in

that you thought we missed out of those 250.

And you could go to the website, you could vote,

you could do all kinds of stuff to get your opinions

heard. And today we are revealing those extra

shows that are going to sneak in along with those

250 that we had revealed previously. Just to

give everybody a little bit of data here, we

received votes for 62 different shows to be added.

to the list we are going to be adding 14 of those

that got sufficient votes to our overall 250

so we will end this is going to burst mike's

brain we're going to end with 264 shows that

you can vote for i find that i'm good with that

i don't want to be odd these days it's an even

number i'm good I thought for sure Mike would

have a coronary with that not making any type

of round number, but apparently he's good with

it. Like I said, I'll reveal real quickly at

the end maybe some of the other shows that got

votes on, but we're just going to reveal the

top 14 that got the most votes that we're going

to be adding in. I'll do it in some groups here.

Let's do some groups of, I don't know, three

or four at a time, and then we'll get Mike and

Steve's reaction on that. And then we will let

you know now that we have the final 264 shows

that you can vote on what comes next. And Steve

and Mike will help fill in the details of how

that is going to look and work as well. So let's

start with some... I'm going to group this completely

randomly, Mike, so it's not going to make any

sense for you whatsoever. But that's just the

way I want to do this. Yay! Guess what that means,

folks? In the editing, you get nothing. You're

just getting the episode by itself. No extra

audio, because I ain't doing any extra work on

this shit. So let's start with just a few here

and get your guys' opinions. First two that are

going to be added to the list are Courage the

Cowardly Dog and Cow and Chicken. Any thoughts

about those? Weren't those in the original? I

don't know if they were in the original or not.

I would have to pull up the web posts we made

about which ones were which. I know they were

discussed in one way, shape, or form. I completely

did no research for this episode. I believe at

least one of those is a Nickelodeon show, right?

No, they're both Cartoon Network. Oh, Cartoon

Network. Yeah, they're both Cartoon Network.

I watched them. Courage, I'm good with. Cow and

Chicken was just... See, I'm the other way around.

I didn't like Courage, and I would prefer Cow

and Chicken. I would have to add both of them

to my list of things to watch, because I've never

watched either of these. The best part about

Courage the Cowardly Dog is the old man where

he goes, and then he goes, and then the Cow and

Chicken and the devil -looking dude, they're

all voiced by the same person. Yeah, they are.

Well, those are the first two wins. I knew they

were on the same channel, so I wanted to group

those two together as far as that went. How about

some more, let's call it adult -themed shows?

We're going to go with a couple here. We got

Spawn, Harvey Birdman, which did make its way

back in the list. It was going to be the only

one that was on our top 100 original list that

didn't get a nomination. I guess we corrected

that. And we're going to also add in Celebrity

Deathmatch to this. So Spawn, Celebrity Deathmatch,

Harvey Birdman. Mike, what do you think? Spawn

was... Did that only get one season? It was not

very many episodes, I don't think. Yeah, I feel

like Spawn... Okay, so I'm pretty sure the movie

came first, then the cartoon. Because I know

the comic book was a thing. I'm trying to very,

very quickly look at this. Oh, boy, there's a

lot. Yeah, the 97 film and then the 98 video

game. It was three seasons, actually. Oh, it

was three seasons. Okay, well, still. It was

only 18 episodes. Okay, yeah, I... Oh, so it

was Netflixing before Netflix was a thing. If

it was three seasons, but only 18 episodes. Oh,

my God. It was one of those MTV shows. It was

one of those MTV cartoons. I believe I could

be wrong. HBO. Okay, there you go. Spawn. Yeah,

it was HBO. Spawn, HBO. I never, I watched like

one episode, but after I saw the film, I was

like, okay, that's all I need for that. Like,

I don't need to know anything. Like, again, Spawn

came out in 1997. I was 17 years old. I wasn't

really, like, I was out of kind of, like, I was,

I don't know, whatever. It was okay. The cartoon

was okay. Like I said, I think I saw like two

or three episodes. Not enough to remember it.

Now, Celebrity Deathmatch, on the other hand,

definitely, thank God, it got the fan vote because,

damn, love that show. Okay, then. Now, we're

finally ready for a clean, hard fight. Gentlemen,

let's get it on. I always think of Mills Lane

when I think of Celebrity Deathmatch. Yep, absolutely.

Well, he's the ref. I want a good, clean fight.

Let's get it on. Let's get it on. That's right.

He got real famous for a minute and then disappeared

into the ether. Steve, what do you think about

these three? Harvey Birdman, Celebrity Deathmatch,

and the short -lived Spawn? I can definitely

see Harvey Birdman, Cartoon Network special,

Celebrity Deathmatch with MTV. I don't love Spawn.

I get it's a bigger thing as a comic and like

a film, but I think Celebrity Deathmatch out

of these batch. this this three is probably the

best like the the strongest contender yeah i

think the thing that swan has going for it is

that it was somewhat unique for its time there

wasn't a whole lot of mature comic book style

like uh hbo animated series happening back in

the day i know it's a little bit more commonplace

now but i get its uniqueness then I also get

the celebrity death match uniqueness. Like there

wasn't anything like that going on. And definitely,

I guess with the death of MTV, it's kind of fitting,

I guess that we get an MTV show to try and live

on with that. And I have no problem with Harvey

Birdman. I'm not super educated or experienced

with Harvey Birdman, but like I said, it was

on our original top 100. So it feels like it

should be at least in the nomination pool. So

I have to go back and watch, I have to go back

and watch Harvey Birdman. Cause all is, I remember

like, I remember. Harvey Birdman late nighting.

That's all I remember. He's behind the desk.

Maybe I'm thinking of Space Ghost. I don't know.

Mills Lane actually started out as a boxer first.

He was a boxer, then a referee. I didn't remember

all of that. With him being the referee, but

where I had known him obviously from was being...

The TV judge guy, because that's where I had

seen him from. But seeing him in Celebrity Deathmatch

was just so hilariously awesome. You got Johnny

and Nick and just seeing the celebrities that

they would impersonate and get. It was just such

a fun. And it was Claymation. You didn't see

a lot of Claymation shows. There were no, like,

at that time, there were no, like, the last Claymation

show I remember before Celebrity Deathmatch was

Gumby. Like, no, I'm dead serious. Like, Claymation

was not a thing when Celebrity Deathmatch happened

in 99, 98, whatever it was. But, yeah, no, so

happy they got in. Yeah. We're going to reveal

two more modern ones. I guess you could say somewhat

modern ones that made it into the nomination

pool. See if you guys have any experience with

either of these two. That would be Infinity Train

and Arcane. So again, two more modern ones. I

know we got some comments on the website about

both of these. Steve, any experience with Arcane

or Infinity Train? I'd never heard of them. I've

heard of Arcane, but I've never actively sought

it out. I believe I watched an episode of Arcane,

but I may be getting confused with one of the

other modern ones and I thought I had some promise,

but I'll have to go back now that it's in the

nomination pool and watch a few of both of these

just so I have at least knowledge when I go to

fill out my ballot and when we reveal what actually

makes the top 100 because I feel like a lot of

people, when you look up lists and comments about

the last 10 to... 15 years like these two shows

get mentioned a lot so right i was surprised

that there were some fans out there that were

pushing for these two as well so i did briefly

look these up while you guys were talking infinity

train is a cartoon network series and it was

on the air as of like 2022 it had four seasons

at that point looks a little bit better than

some of the stuff but i mean again it kind of

falls into the almost the cal art style type

simplistic okay art And then Arcane is basically

League of Legends. Yeah, that's the one I saw

a few episodes of for sure, then. Yeah, I didn't

see it. From the CGI, it looks pretty stellar.

Not sure if it'll be my cup of tea, but I'll

give it a shot. And it's got three seasons, it

looks like. I want to say I watched the first

two episodes, possibly. And I was definitely

intrigued enough that I would probably give it

at least the five -episode treatment. But I don't

know. I'd have to watch those five to fully decide.

But it looked like it had at least some promise

in it for sure. So two more modern picks here.

I'm going to go with some franchise -related

shows that got in here. Connections to other

franchise shows that we are familiar with or

movies or comic books, etc. So there's four of

them. So we'll kind of go one at a time here.

The first one is from the 90s. And that would

be Mask. The Animated Series. Steve, what do

you think about Mask of the Animated Series?

Mask from the 80s. The Mask. I know, I know.

That's why I'm laughing. Steve, what do you think

about this one? I love this show, so I think

it's great. I recently re -watched a big chunk

of it. I think it's entertaining and I love it.

I, I, anything that, that stemmed from a Jim

Carrey property, I'm pretty happy with. Although

the Ace Ventura cartoon was kind of a dumpster

fire. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This, this was great.

Like you, you had Rob Paulson and yeah, it was

just, the whole show was awesome. I was going

to say, Rob does a good Jim Carrey impression.

Mike, are you happy that this one's in the nomination

pool? That's why I've been laughing since you

mentioned it. I was like, oh, yeah, that's right.

The mask. Yeah. No, it's the key to making the

mask and all around nicer guy like me. I didn't

get to watch a lot of this series just because

of when it came out. I was kind of in that phase

in the mid to late 90s that I wasn't watching

much. But I definitely am very familiar with

the movie. And I love Jim Carrey and most of

his comedy stuff. So I'm definitely intrigued.

I'll have to give this one a shot as well to

watch some. This next one's interesting to me.

It did spark some debate amongst us whether we

included it as a separate entity or not. We are

going to treat it as a separate entity because

enough people voted that it should be. We're

going into the world of the comic books, and

this will be the X -Men 97. We'll get a separate

listing here. Mike, what do you think? Yeah,

so even though it is a continuation of X -Men,

the animated series, the reason why I wanted

it to be separate is because it is a continuation

practically 30 years later kind of thing. That's

the whole point is that in 1997, X -Men the Animated

Series had its fifth and final season at the

time. And we just figured, oh, okay, that's the

final season. That's the final episode. They

quote unquote graduated because I believe without

looking it up, without typing a bunch of stuff,

the final episode was called Graduation Day.

And yeah, so them bringing it back, and I love

that they brought it back, and it's still the

same creators. I believe it's Eric and Julia

Leewald working on it with X -Men 97. They tried

to bring back everybody that they could to make

it. basically the continuation that it is, but

it is a continuation of the original series.

But they are two very separate things because

they are 30 years apart. It's like... you know,

I don't know, whatever it is. Yeah, but it's

his own separate thing and it deserves to be

its own separate thing. The animation style isn't

exactly the exact same thing. That's the other

reason why I think it needs to be separated besides

the time aspect. Compare X -Men, the animated

series animation, like the first two seasons

to the first season of X -Men 97. It's not the

same exact same animation style 30 years apart.

It just isn't. I love that it's here. I think

it's great because I think, It's a great show.

Steve, are you happy that it's in the pool? Yeah.

I mean, it was great when I watched it. I mean,

I'm waiting for the second season now. But I

mean, I loved the original series to begin with.

So it's kind of a pipe dream that this thing's

back. Yeah. Another interesting way to get a

more modern, I guess, series in there as well.

So something from recent times. This next one,

I guess, is completely fitting given who we are.

But how many Transformers series is enough? We

have, I believe, six in the pool at the moment.

We have Transformers Beast Wars, Beast Machines,

Transformers Animated, Transformers Prime, and

Transformers Rescue Bots. So let's go ahead and

add a seventh. Mike, any guess? Oh, God. As long

as it's not Armada, Energon, or Cybertron, I'm

good. Well, which one do you think would be in

there if there was a seventh series being added?

It's probably Armada, but as long as it's not

Energon or Cybertron, I'm good. All right. Transformers,

Armada, it is. That will be in our seventh Transformers

series into the countdown. Steve, your thoughts?

I'm fine with it. I liked that rendition. It

got progressively worse as that's what, but,

but it is a trilogy. Yes, I know. But I think

the best one out of the three represented it

here. Well, there's no way that anybody, if there's

a Transformers fan out there that's voting on

our countdown, we've got to have their favorite

Transformers series represented, I would feel

like. We gave them seven choices. Exactly. Something

for every generation, something for everybody,

I would think in there. All right, the last one

that's a franchise -related title, and I'm super

stoked that this one has made the list. I just

think it's one of the better reboots slash remakes

of a cartoon series that I've seen. Uh -oh. I'm

going to go to the 2009 version, The Garfield

Show. Oh, okay. Obviously starring Frank Welker,

Greg Berger is in there again, etc. This one

ran for five seasons, over 100 episodes. It was

on from 2009 to 2016. Steve, any experience with

the Garfield show and do you think it's worthy

of being in our pool? So is this the one that's

the CGI? Correct. Okay. I've watched it, albeit

briefly, with my kids. I think it's fine. I still

prefer Garfield and Friends. But, I mean, I think

it's fine. Garfield's pretty harmless. All these

years, and I didn't know lasagna could talk.

Why didn't it say something? What if it isn't

just lasagna? What if ravioli can talk? What

if cannoli tries to beat me up? And the garlic

bread? I'll starve! I think it was a good introduction

of Garfield to a new generation, potentially,

with the CG and with Frank Welker doing a lot

of the voices. I kind of appreciate that. I haven't

watched it extensively, but I've watched it enough

to know that it's a quality animated series.

I just would have to watch more in -depth to

see how high the quality is and to see how it

would rank amongst the rest, like you said, especially

against the original. Mike, what do you think?

yeah same thing i've only seen like clips here

and there of it but what i have seen of it i've

i've enjoyed and i i agree with what you guys

are saying i mean as long as especially it's

garfield like you don't want to no one ever wants

to go into any project by oh i i'd like to screw

this up i'd like to you know whatever no one

ever wants to do that no matter what you're working

on but especially garfield you want to get garfield

right and i think from the clips that i've seen

they've gotten it right and with lorenzo music

having been gone a long time now i think frank

wilker does a good enough Garfield voice, and

I'm not saying that to say, oh my god, Frank

Walker just does it good. I'm not saying it like

that. He does it gooder. Ha, I didn't say that.

I said good enough. I said gooder. Yeah, you

can say gooder all you want, Mr. Gooder over

there. The point is, is that I think the Garfield

show was a nice updating to what we had before.

But again, as I say all the time, and as I said,

I think I said in the, in the other episodes

that we did leading up to all of this in all

of our reveals, just because there's a new version

doesn't mean it erases the old version. You can

go back and you can, well. hopefully if it's

streaming somewhere, if it's on DVD, you can

go back and watch Garfield and friends. You can

go back and watch the other six or seven or 11

Transformers series or whatever kind of thing.

Well, okay. I'm using that because it has the

most representation kind of thing. But like,

you know, the point is, is that if you want the

other thing, you can go find the other thing.

But with this version of the Garfield show and

the clips that I have seen of it, I did very

much enjoy it. And I do think it does. deserve

to be here. I am actually interested that not

a single one of these 14 additional shows is

going to date itself in the 80s or before. These

are all 90s and onward shows, so I thought that

was a little bit interesting. These final three

here, I am pretty stoked that these are going

to be in the pool. I think there's different

arguments that could be made for each one. I

think one of them is for sure underrated. I think

one of them is underrated. I think one of them

has, for some reason, been forgotten to time.

And then I know another one's going to make Steve

happy. So I'm fine with all three of these here.

So our final three, we'll start with Bobby's

World. I think that's the one that seems to be

forgotten to time. I think a lot of people talk

about Rugrats and talk about Doug and talk about

a lot of those other ones that were around that

same time period. And for some reason, Bobby's

World seems to have gotten forgotten. But I appreciate

Bobby's world, so I'm somewhat happy that it

is in the pool. The final two, and then I'll

get your guys' reaction on all three together.

The final two were our highest two vote -getters,

actually. And that would be Mighty Max and Pirates

of Darkwater. So I think Pirates of Darkwater

is kind of the hidden gem that a lot of people

don't know about. And Mighty Max, I just think,

is a show that the people that... remember it

remember it very fondly so steve what do you

think about mighty max pirates of dark water

and bobby's world i love it um i watched all

three of those uh pirates of dark water i watched

more so when there was nothing else on and same

thing with bobby's world uh bobby's world was

kind of fun just to watch and you know the little

jokes and everything else that kind of happened

and then you had uh howie mandel you know playing

as the cartoon and as the live action version

of, you know, right. So it was entertaining.

And then, you know, he played Bobby as I think

as well. Um, and then, uh, pirates of dark water,

like I said, it was, it was an entertaining show.

I enjoyed it for what it was. It was kind of

with that gritty, like SWAT cats type of era

of cartoon network. Yeah, for sure. And then

mighty max like that, that hands down out of

those three was my absolute favorite. I watched

the crap out of that. Norman Virgil and Max and

Skull Master and just so many great voice actors

in the show too. So I just love how it played

along. Didn't love the ending, but because it

kind of rebooted itself, like it was in a circular

time loop in essence. But yeah, it was a great

show. I think Pirates of Darkwater has an interesting

voice cast as well. I mean, you do have Peter

Cullen and Frank Welker in there, but you got

Hector Elizondo in there, Tim Curry. And Jody

Benson, the voice of Ariel from The Little Mermaid's

in there. So I think that's an interesting voice

cast. I think all of these should get more attention,

should get watched more and talked about more.

So I'm happy they're in there. What do you think

about these three, Mike? Yeah, I agree. And I

am so glad that they never went with the original

title for Bobby's World. The World According

to Bobby. That would not have gotten it seven

seasons. Bobby's World, I forgot it had seven

seasons. I thought it only had three or four

seasons, but it ran from 90 to 97. And yes, you

are right. Howie voiced Bobby, and he also voiced

his dad. Generic? Well, yeah. I can't remember

what his first name was, but it was something

generic, right? Yeah, Howard Generic, modeled

upon and also voiced by Howie Mandel. using his

normal voice so all right now yeah bobby's world

absolutely pirates of dark water is the one that

i have to catch up with what was the other one

uh oh god mighty mac mighty mac that's the other

one i gotta watch watch too i remember watching

pirates of dark water i for some odd reason i

remember it lining up with batman the animated

series i could be wrong in the when did on from

like 91 to 93 Okay, so it's in that range since

BTS debuted in 92. I seem to remember at some

point them following each other. It aired on

ABC, Fox Kids, and in syndication. Okay, so BTS

was on Fox, so it wouldn't have aired directly.

I don't know. Somehow, someway, I watched the

two of them together. back to back or flipping

channels or whatever kind of thing so yeah but

i'm gonna have to go back to pirates of dark

water and watch it again but what i did see of

it i really did enjoy and again i think all three

of them deserve to be in the running pirates

of dark water kind of is along the same lines

for me as like a gargoyles it was like one of

the rare 90s cartoons made for like a general

audience that was also had a serious tone like

we got some of that in the 80s but like in the

90s it was a lot more sticky comedy fun stuff

and then like gargoyles and pirates of the dark

water to me kind of represented the more serious

side of cartoons in the 90s um so that's kind

of how i would would group those so i'm gonna

run down all 14 of these just real quickly so

they're all in a same group together we have

mighty max pirates of dark water bobby's world

arcane celebrity deathmatch courage the cowardly

dog cow and chicken Harvey Birdman, Infinity

Train Spawn, Seth MacFarlane Spawn, The Garfield

Show, The Mask, The Animated Series, Transformers

Armada, and X -Men 97 are our additional nominees.

I'm just going to fairly quickly go through.

We're not going to spend a whole lot of time

on these other ones. Like I said, 62 shows got

voted on, but I just want to at least give them

a mention. So I'm going to do it in some groups.

We had Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers, Ion

Flux, Afro Samurai, Alana Ace, Amphibia. For

the A's, we had Banger and Mash, Battle of the

Planets, Beanie and Cecil, Beware the Batman,

Biker Mice from Mars, Bonkers, Bucky O 'Hare,

and The Toad Wars. Castlevania, Clone High from

2002, Dragon Ball Diamond, Dragon Ball GT, Drawn

Together, Extreme Dinosaurs, Final Space, Ghost

in the Shell, Green Lantern, Hilda, Home Movies,

James Bond Jr., Life with Louie, Metalocalypse,

I can never say that one, Mighty Ducks, The Animated

Series, Moral, Oral, Quick Draw, McGraw. Rambo,

Rapunzel's Tangled, Scavenger Reign, Scott Pilgrim

Takes Off, Shaun the Sheep, Sherlock Holmes in

the 22nd Century, Street Sharks, The Critic,

The Looney Tunes Show, The Owl House, Thunderbirds,

which is an animated series, so that would have

got DQ'd anyways, Totally Spies, Transformers

Energon, Transformers Headmasters, Trapdoor,

Trigun, Uncle Grandpa, Undone, and Witch, W -I

-T -C -H, with periods next to all of them. Mike,

any thoughts about the million that I just read

off? i'm actually surprised that eon flux didn't

make it i'm really surprised because that's one

that everybody usually praises a lot i could

have seen that afro samurai sometimes gets some

love i know there was some more modern people

pushing for like a final space or something like

that quick drama girl was like the only old school

one that got a vote i thought that was interesting

that was probably me um and The Looney Tunes

show, that would have been an interesting remake,

but it's hard when there's so many other ones.

We did get a couple more Transformers mentions.

Steve, any thoughts on any of these? No, just

kind of surprised all the different ones that

showed up here. Yeah, definitely a variety of

shows. So those will not make the countdown,

but we have added 14 to our 250. For those math

people out there, that makes 264 possible shows

that the panels and the people that we invite

are going to be able to vote on to narrow it

down. to 100 so 164 of them will not make it

100 will mike any thoughts as we get one step

closer in this project nope just let's get it

done steve any information for folks as far as

what they can expect next from us when it comes

to the countdown or how they can eventually interact

and submit some opinions in other ways on the

website So, of course, there'll be ways to submit

opinions on the website, not only with comments,

but there is going to be a if if people have

been around long enough, they remember we used

to have a voicemail line. And so with this, there'll

be a new like fan zone interactive page fan zone

Transformers animated. So anyways. There'll be

a limit on the amount of seconds that can be

displayed on these clips. They're going to be

30 to 180 seconds available. I will try to cram

as many of these in the episodes as possible.

Just for, you know, to be featured on the podcast

with just thoughts or whatever. So that'll, that'll

be one way that fans can interact and, you know,

share a memory about their favorite show or react

to the latest rankings defending their show.

But, you know, you have up to, you know, little

over two minutes, about three minutes to total

to gab on there. So there's that. And then, of

course, we'll be emailing our past contributors

very, very soon with the ballot and seeing if

they're interested and then submitting it through

the website. And yeah. And then hopefully we

have a massive. A massive amount of lists that

come back to help us usher in this new 15th anniversary

of the Top 100 animated series countdown. That'll

be the goal. And in the meantime, you guys will

hear this episode and then there will be a hiatus,

I guess you could call it, or some time gap in

between when we pick up again because that will

be us in the background doing all the work. We're

going to be doing all the work, collecting the

list, compiling the data. formulating the actual

top 100 so when you're not hearing us talk about

it just trust us we're doing the work on the

background and then we'll be bringing you the

episodes as soon as we get all of that work done

and then we will start pumping these episodes

out like usual Mike absolutely absolutely I do

have something I still have to work through in

my head and work through with Steve and other

things but I do have a special episode for next

time called GCR 360 It's still something that

I have working in the back of my brain, but that's

what's happening next. And then after that, GCR

will go on a break until we are ready for the

top 100. So that's what's going on with this

podcast. Anything else you guys want to bring

up? Anything you want to promote? Steve, Kev,

anything you guys want to talk about? Anything

you got on your other podcasts that you're doing?

What's going on with Cinema Geeks for 2026? Well,

if you're interested in movies and we got some

content coming at you guys, we already have produced

our box office draft battle that Dan and I had.

So we each got to select a team of 10 movies

and to see which one of us can make the most

money, I guess you could say, at the box office.

So that one's already live and available for

you guys to listen to. Coming up next or soon,

we will be doing our top 10 films of 2025. top

10 most anticipated films of 2026. And then we

will be getting into another retrospective series.

And if you want to know what that's going to

be about, then you should tune into some of those

other episodes as we will start teasing that.

And that'll probably take us through the first,

I don't know, half of 2026. So it should be fun.

We also got some fun episodes with some games

and things that we'll probably sprinkle in throughout

to change it up here and there. Very cool. Very

cool. What about you, Steve? What's going on

with Altered Geek? Anything else you got working

on? Well, currently I, uh, I took advantage of

the, uh, the, the new computer market. Uh -huh.

Um, I bought myself a new computer, so I'm going

to be setting that bad boy up and, uh, yeah,

I'm excited. That was exciting. Yep, yep. There's

only currently, because I haven't done any more

research on this, but I wrote this up last year,

at the end of last year. There's only two movies

I'm excited for so far in 2026 that I really

want to see. Mercy and Crime 101. I'm sure if

you had my list of 170 films that I looked into

coming out for this next one, I could add a few

to that. How the hell do you do that? No! I like

Excel. I researched 170 films to come up with

my top 10. Like I said, Dan and I will be going

back and forth with our picks very soon. There

you go. There's a lot to look forward to. It's

going to be a crazy year at the box office. Just

about every director known to man that's a big

-name director is seemingly coming out with a

movie this year. Take it for what you want. Absolutely.

And as for what I have coming up, folks, over

on Studio 2009, it's, well, we're going to launch

Media Mayhem, where we give you the movie choices

of whomever the guest is. I launched this with

my buddy David Draper, so we've got his episode

and then my episode. Basically, the premise of

this is whenever you're born, you pick one movie

the year that you were born. the next year the

next year the next year up until whatever the

current year is and we started this last year

so we actually only went up to at the time of

the recordings we went up to 2024 because 2025

hadn't fully been done yet Uh, and then we've

got a coyote ugly and we've got something else

coming for episode one 70. Cause it hasn't been

finished yet. And then we will be doing season

three of Columbo, which has been recorded. It

was recorded last year, actually. So it's been

a year in the making. Yay. Pre -production. So

that's, it's coming up on studio 2009. And yeah,
