Geek Salad

Episode 129: Six Flags Over Valhalla

Get your tickets and Fast Passes ready, because the team at Geek Salad is going to be taking you on a wild ride!  Relive the fun, the laughs, and the motion sickness when Andy, Mike, Joe, and Katherine discuss their favorite amusement parks. 

 

From the parks that the gang grew up around in New England, to some of the most head scratching “amusement” parks imaginable (Dollywood, I’m looking right in your general direction!) to the House of Mouse, the Geeks have you covered!

(For the parents out there, we would like to point out that, while we are discussing a whole bunch of Family FunTime destinations, this show is definitely NOT for your kids!!!)

Episode 127: Under the Sea with Prince Ali

Ever since Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs premiered in 1937, Disney's films have, for the most part, been widely praised for their music. Whether a jaunty upbeat song like "I Just Can't Wait to be King", or a touching love song like "Candle on the Water", the songs are sometimes even more beloved than the films that spawn them. And so, to honor those wonderful tunes, Andy, Mike, Joe, and Katherine are counting down the top 22 Disney songs as voted by the Geek Salad audience in episode 127: Under the Sea with Prince Ali!

The voting was all over the place and there were 80+ nominees, but while not every song made the list, the fact that there were that many shows that everyone loves at least some of the songs. And I think most everyone will agree that the 22 that made this list are really some of the best to ever come from the House of Mouse. But don't worry. Just because it's Disney doesn't mean that the crew will tone down their usual crass humor.

Episode 121: Pixar - Don't Blame Us For Planes!

There was a time when 3D animated films were the stuff of rumors and legends. And then came Pixar! With Pixar's 16th film, The Good Dinosaur, just a few days away from release, the Geek Salad crew is looking back and ranking the 15 previous films in Geek Salad episode 121: Pixar - Don't Blame Us For Planes!

Andy, Mike G, Joe, and Katherine go through the list of Pixar films, from Toy Story to Inside Out and see where they are ranked according to ratings sent in by Geek Salad listeners... and anyone else who they could beg a list from. So which one came in first and which one came in dead last. The latter is fairly easy to figure out (hint: it rhymes with "Mars 2").

Episode 118 (Part 2): Star Wars: I Would Have Preferred Order 69!

Welcome back to the galaxy far, far away as Geek Salad brings you the conclusion to episode 118: I Would Have Preferred Order 69! Join Andy, Mike, Joe, Katherine, and Andy's awesome toy-making cousin Anna discuss the highs and oh-so-lows of Attack of the Clones, the Clone Wars TV series and movie, and Revenge of the Sith. If you're very lucky, they might even share some of their anticipation for The Force Awakens.

Aww, who am I kidding? Of course they'll gush their excitement about The Force Awakens. The trick would be to get them to shut up about it.

Episode 118 (Part 1): Star Wars: I Would Have Preferred Order 69!

A long time ago in a Galaxy far, far away….

 

…actually, it was 1999, and Star Wars fans were handed the start of a movie trilogy that would divide the fans and create fierce debate!

 

Now the team of Geek Salad, along with Andy’s cousin Anna, a member of the Hasbro team bringing us some plastic awesomeness with the Force Awakens toy line, is here to break down what went right and what went, well…no so much…in Geek Salad Episode 118 (Part 1):  I Would Have Preferred Order 69!

 

Part 1 of the conversation includes talk about Episode I:  The Phantom Menace as well as their social media feedback!

 

Part 2, which will be available next week, will include talk about Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, as well as the Clone Wars cartoons and a discussion about the new Force Awakens toys!

Episode 111: Shawarma...ASSEMBLE!!!!

We're here to talk to you about the Avengers Initiative....

 

...and with those words, the Marvel Cinematic Universe kicked into high gear!  From the 2008 release of Iron Man, to last year's surprise hit Guardians of the Galaxy, the MCU has been kicking butt throughout the movie industry. 

 

...and now Geek Salad is here to rank them...

 

 

Thanks to our friends on Facebook, the team of Andy, Mike G., Joe, and Katherine count down from 10 to 1 the favorite films in both Phase 1 and Phase 2, leading up to the May 1st release of Avengers: Age of Ultron.  Which movies will end up lower than expected?  Which movies got more love than usual?  And who will rank supreme?

 

Then, stay tuned for a trio of Trailer Parks, where the team discuss the latest trailers from Star Wars Episode VII:  The Force Awakens, Batman vs. Superman:  Dawn of Justice, and Ant-Man.

Episode 92: Rankin My Bass

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.

A List of Demands for "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D"

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?
