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

Think back to the wondrous years when getting home from school meant sitting on the couch and watching hour after hour of glorious, mind-numbing, toy-shilling cartoons. Yes, the entire Geek Salad crew have come together to share their love (and some hate) for afternoon cartoons in Geek Salad episode 82: COBRAAAAA!!! Join Andy, Mike C, Mike G, Jim, and Adam as they relive the time when men were real He-Men and women were real She-Ra... okay, that didn't quite work as well as it did in my head. In any case, the gang talks about such classics as G.I. Joe, Transformers, and Battle of the Planets. However, they also chat about some more obscure titles like the Hot Fudge Show, M.A.S.K., and Bionic Six. Then stick around for some segments, including some new little known Michael McDonald facts!

Okay folks….now that we’ve stamped out the final post orgasmic cigarette after seeing the super awesome “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D” trailer, we here at Geek Salad have come up with a list of demands that will guarantee that the show remains awesome.
Alan Silvestri MUST do the opening theme.
I’m pretty sure that ABC already has somebody like Bear McCreary or W.G. “Snuffy” Walden on tap to provide weekly music to the show (although Michael Giacchino would be awesome), after the fanfare scored by Mr. Silvestri for “The Avengers,” every week must make us feel like we’re watching something awesome.
Female S.H.I.E.L.D. agents must be wearing skirts…like the micro mini kinds found in the new Star Trek flicks
It'll cause less outrage than the plunging zippered necklines showcased in “The Avengers.”
Now that Disney has the rights, would it kill them to get Punisher, Daredevil, or Ghost Rider right for a change?!?!
And while we’re on the subject, a few C-Listers won’t hurt either….I’m looking at you, Brother Voodoo!!!!
And to a far greater extent, how about GODDAMN MOON KNIGHT!
I realize that he’s really just a knock off of Batman, hence, while you’ll never see him appear in his own film (but Patton Oswalt’s version of Episode VII would put him front and center).
The less said about Coulson’s return from the dead the better….and for god’s sake, don’t give him PTSS just to give him a “flaw!”
Don’t water-down the characters from the movie Phases I or II by making them appear AT ALL on the series!
Speaking of watering down, keep us out of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent’s personal lives. That includes any and all inner-office romances and issues with the kids!
If David Duchovney, Gillian Anderson, or any of the Lone Gunmen make so much as a cameo on the show, I vow on the lives of my children, that I will buy every season of “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” on Blu-Ray!
….and finally…
Stan Lee absolutely MUST make an appearance in each and every episode either buying a hot dog from a street vendor, pulling a kid out of a busy street, or walking out of an elevator with Lou Ferrigno
Anything else I’m leaving off?

As a special gift to the Geek Salad faithful, while we all wait for the gang to reassemble for the next episode, here is some extra audio that was recorded for episode 81, but was ultimately cut for time. This audio includes the regular segments of Trailer Park (The Wolverine), Stupid Stupid (more Michael Bay idiocy), and Salad Shills (video games, vacations, and fun new technology). Enjoy and keep an eye out for episode 82 to be coming soon... we hope.

Break out your lava lamps, open up your H.R. Pufnstuf lunchboxes, and put down your 8-sided dice. Andy, Mike, and Jim delve into the past to bring you the pop culture of the 1970s with Geek Salad episode 78: Dolomite and the Trilogy of Funk! Yes, the Geek Salad crew are going to make you an offer you can't refuse as they discuss the movies, television, music, and more from the decade that gave us The Gong Show, the Magnavox Odyssey, and blaxploitation films. Nothing could possibly go wrong with this! They then discuss The Lone Ranger in Trailer Park, some Academy Award snubs in Stupid Stupid, and a couple of video game shills.
