Episode 139 (Side A): Joshua Tree 2: The Destruction of Bruno

1987….The year that yielded some of the best music of the entire decade.  So why does the Top of the Charts look and sound like it was frozen in a time capsule from 1961?  Andy, Mike, Katherine, and Joe try to discover the answer in Geek Salad’s Episode 139:  Joshua Tree 2:  The Destruction of Bruno, where they attempt to break through the notable singles of the year. 

 

While there were some timely stalwarts of 80’s music; Madonna, Bon Jovi, U2, etc…the pop charts were littered with the likes of Lisa Lisa, Billy Vera (who wrote the breakup song to end all breakup songs for “Family Ties”), and Gregory (who?) Abbott…

 

…also, Mike will be hearing Kenny G’s “Songbird” for the first time, so be nice to him…!!!

Episode 138: The Discount Defenders!

Superheroes have been on television for almost as long as there has been television. However, things are considerably different now than when Superman would bust through cheap sets and Batman danced the Batusi. To go over the current crop of excellent (and not so excellent) superhero TV shows, join Andy, Mike, and Joe in Geek Salad episode 138: The Discount Defenders!

From DC's "Arrowverse" to Marvel's Defenders, the Geek Salad crew express their love, indifference, or dislike for all of the current comic-inspired TV shows (or as many as they can remember, anyway). Which Supergirl character do Andy and Mike completely disagree about? What do Mike and Joe think about the most recent seasons of Arrow? The answers to these questions and more (obviously) can be found within.

Sweet Christmas!

Geek Salad - 2016 in Review

So... 2016, the year that had the Grim Reaper as a patron saint. There were a lot of very high profile tragic deaths this year, but Andy and Mike attempt to keep things positive during their 2016 Year in Review.

Recorded while on the road to do an errand, the two go over some of the brighter moments of the past year, while also discussing the rocky start to the DCEU, as well some of the losses we've suffered this past year.

From all of us here at Geek Salad, we wish you a very Happy New Year and here's hoping 2017 is a bit less killer.

Episode 137: Kristmas Karol by Edmund Welles (the Well-Known Dutch Author)

It's Holiday time once again, which also means that it is once again time for Geek Salad to present their annual Holiday episode. This time, they cover Ebenezer Scrooge, Bob Cratchit, and the revenge of Tiny Tim in Geek Salad episode 137: Kristmas Karol by Edmund Welles (the Well-Known Dutch Author).

Ever since it was first published in 1843, hardly any story in history has had as many adaptations as Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. While there have been a number of well-done faithful adaptations, and quite a few fun and different takes on it as well, there have also been more than a few versions that bring out the Scrooge in us. So join Andy, Mike, Joe, and Autumn as they experience both the highs and the lows.

They are also accompanied by three spirits: Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, and Mulled Wine.

Episode 135: The Rise and Fall of the Crystal Lake Hockey League

Lovers of alcohol, drugs, and pre-marital sex, start running, because Geek Salad is doing their annual Halloween episode and this time, they are talking all things Friday the 13th! Yes, it's Geek Salad episode 135: The Rise and Fall of the Crystal Lake Hockey League.

In 1980, horror movie fans were introduced to a new franchise which survived and thrived when so many other slashers failed to find an audience. Friday the 13th certainly found an audience with certain members of the Geek Salad crew. So break out your machete and hockey mask and enjoy as the gang goes over the highs and lows of Jason Voorhees.

Episode 133: The Sausage King of Little China (Part 2)

Geek Salad is back with the second half of episode 133: The Sausage King of Little China!

We know you've all been waiting with baited breath to find out how they can possibly top the first half, so now I can safely reveal that they get to talk about some of their personal favorite films from the year, 1986. Will Big Trouble in Little China make someone's list (as if you couldn't tell from the episode's title)? Could Iron Eagle make the cut? And might we see a certain musical based on an alien plant?

Small hint, all answers point to "Yes".

Episode 133: The Sausage King of Little China (Part 1)

Geek Salad's annual tribute to films of 30 years ago continues, and what a year they've gotten to this time! Join the regular crew as they chat about the awesomeness of the movies of 1986 in Episode 133: The Sausage King of Little China (Part 1)!

Yes, as you might have guessed with a year filled to the brim with film classics such as Labyrinth, Aliens, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off, they went a bit long. So, to save a bit of your bandwidth, and for ease of listening, the episode has been cut in half. For the first half, they go down the list of the year's top ten highest-grossing films, at least highest-grossing in the United States. Can you guess the #1 film that year without looking it up?
