Just in time for Christmas comes Geek Salad episode 92: Rankin My Bass. Yes, join Andy and Mike with special guests Joe and Autumn as they rank their bass guitars and attempt to... oh, wait. Wrong bass. No, this is a Holiday episode, so of course the gang is talking about the ups and downs (many, many downs) of the Rankin & Bass Holiday specials. Starting with Rudolph, the duo of Arthur Rankin and Jules Bass came up with some of the most classic animated specials to ever grace the TV screen. Unfortunately, they also inflicted some of the most confusing, scarring, and just plain hateful moments as well (what the hell is an Awgwa, anyway?)
After that, there's some DC-inspired Stupid Stupid and a retro Trailer Park with "Santa Claus: The Movie". Finally, stick around for some Salad Shills that range everywhere from Doctor Who to commercials from the '70s.
And to everyone, whatever you celebrate, have a very happy Holiday season.

Laugh tracks! Predictable plot lines! We must be talking about sitcoms. In fact, we're talking about the top 25 sitcom characters from the past 30 years in Geek Salad episode 91: Tricks Are What Whores Do for Money. Join Andy, Jim, and both Mikes as they go over a list of some of the top characters who made us laugh as chosen by you, the Geek Salad fans. They cover all the greats, from Gob Bluth to Norm Peterson. Oh, and somehow Urkel made it on there, too. The guys are still investigating that one.
After that, stick around for a double-wide Trailer Park. The topic is upcoming superhero movies and both Captain America: The Winter Soldier and X-Men: Days of Future Past inspire much awesomeness. 2014 is looking very promising!

(for Stitcher and iTunes users....due to issues with posting the episode, we're reposting...just for you!)
Imagine, if you will, you are
stranded on a desert island. Your sanity
is only held in check by the 5 CDs that you’ve chosen to bring with you to live
out your life with. So what would they
be?
Jim, Andy, and Mike took the question, first to their Twitter and Facebook audience, then, to Mike C. and Adam, who couldn’t make it record. Then, they roundtable their 5 top CDs (and another 5 that came close) with discussions about College Alt Rock, Classic Rock, Country, and Charlie Daniels’ ability to appear during bar fights!
Then hang out for the Segments, when Michael McDonald reviews his Top 5 Desert Island CDs, a Stupid Stupid regarding Dino Porn, and a rundown of the trailer of “Thor: The Dark World,” and a run down of the first few weeks of “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” in the Salad Shills!

First there was Iron Man which kicked off the Marvel movie universe. Now Marvel and Disney have aired the new TV series to continue events started in The Avengers, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Now, if we, the fans, were writing the episodes, what kinds of wacky adventures might Agent Coulson and his band of intrepid adventurers get into? That is the question that Andy, Mike G, and Jim attempt to answer in Geek Salad episode 88: Don't Touch Lola.
The crew take on this task with their usual poise, thoughtfulness, and deep insight. Will Andy bring up the most inadvertently hilarious Marvel superhero, the Whizzer? Will Jim make a DC Cab reference? Will Mike mention the TARDIS? Listen in and see!
(BTW, as regular listeners to the show will know, the answer to all three of those questions is 'Absolutely!')

When you woke up this morning, did you think you were going to get treated to a five minute conversation about Ric Ole? Then you’ve come to the right place as the Geek Salad team resumes their conversation on the Star Wars Original Trilogy with Episode 86 (Part 2): How Anakin Got His Groove Back! Check out the gang’s thoughts on the film affectionately known as anything other than it’s given title (“Return of the Jedi”), the best (and worst) toys in the Kenner Star Wars line, and some thoughts about 2015’s JJ Abrahms directed “Episode VII!” Then, segments are back with a two-fer on Trailer Park as the gang discusses “The Worlds’s End” and the season 4 trailer of “The Walking Dead.” Then, Stupid, Stupid discusses the never ending attempt at making a worse video game based movie. Then The Salad Shills is (almost) all about music! And congratulations to Mike Trogolo for winning our Facebook/Twitter contest to name the episode! Your prize is (*snicker*) in the mail!

So this is all based from sources that I read, so I'm sure I'll get something wrong here or there: Thor: The Dark World: Early word is that it looks underwhelming. We said that 2 years ago and were proven extremely wrong on that. I've really enjoyed Chris Hemsworth's interpretation of Thor (adding more humor than we were expecting) and Tom Hiddleson is fucking genius....worst case, it turns into Iron Man 2. Captain America: The Winter Soldier: The concept art is selling this movie right now. It should be as good as the first movie....and as long as they get the nationality of the Winder Soldier's handlers right, it's still a thousand times better than the Matt Salinger movie. Guardians of the Galaxy: In a conversation I had with a friend, he was worried that it would get weird by being left in the hands of the director of Tromeo and Juliette. First off...Disney isn't going to be giving James Gunn a very long leash. Secondly, the movie features a talking tree and a gun toting raccoon....what could possibly be weird about that? Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Joss Whedon is going to be fully involved in this...Coulson's back (resurrection, apparently, totally blow off), as is Agent Hill (Colbie Smulders will be needing a job after How I Met Your Mother wraps this season). And Ron Glass from Firefly plays an agent, opening the door for everybody from Whedon's stock players to make an appearance! X-Men: Days of Futures Past: First off, in 2011 when we had 4 superhero movies released, X-Men First Class turned in the best production! Now, we're melding the two casts together. It could be awesome, or it could be a convoluted mess. But Peter Dinklage and Sentinels should balance it towards the "awesome" column! The Flash/JLA: Imagine, if you will, that Hawkeye got a stand-alone movie before Thor. Then, imagine that you spent two hours watching a guy who's sole ability is to be really good at archery. Don't get me wrong, I looooove me some Hawkeye. But Thor needed the added benefit of being fully drawn out in a movie prior to being featured in The Avengers. Now, replace "Hawkeye" with "The Flash" and "Thor" with "Wonder Woman." The Flash is a decent character (albeit, with a rouge's gallery that consists of villains too stupid for Superman to face), but I fear for this turning into another Green Lantern, and nobody wants that... Superman/Batman: I guess the bigger question is, do they just simply replace Christian Bale with somebody else (and with a 2015 release date, they better get cracking at finding that person) and continue the continuity of the Nolanverse, or start fresh? I don't think that Batman's origin needs to be retold again, but establishing what type of Batman this will end up being (Nolan, Burton, Schumacher, or *shudder* West) remains the bigger question. This is definitely a step in the right direction, but with Man of Steel struggling to hit the $300 million domestic marker (and fall substantially short of the $1 Billion world marker that Iron Man 3 hit earlier in the summer) they will need to tread lightly and really have a plan going in to all of this.... What are your thoughts? Go forth and be nerdful! Andy

Take a trip back to your favorite arcade and relive the triumph and heartache of many of the classic cabinet video games on Episode 85: @!#?@! Thrill to the enjoyment of the Pac Man and Donkey Kong games! Remember the frustration of Dragon’s Lair and Paperboy! And wonder why the hell you wasted a quarter on Stratovox!
Then, stick around for the Michael McDonald Moment, the Hobbit trailer is reviewed in Trailer Park, terrible porno names are conceived in Stupid Stupid, and Christmas comes early for Andy in the Salad Shills!
