Episode 84: The Last Son of Kryptin

In 1938, two creative young men came up with the idea of an alien from a destroyed planet who becomes one of the greatest superheroes the world has ever known, Superman. 74 years later, their groundbreaking vision has reached its ultimate form in Geek Salad episode 84: The Last Son of Kryptin (aka, Krypton, but as spoken by Marlon Brando). Join Andy, Mike C, and Mike G as they use the entire show (sorry, no segments this time) to discuss Superman and all the wonders, and horrors, that his long legacy has wrought. They also tackle his villains (including Lex Luthor's horribly petty reason for hating Superman), his friends, his animal sidekicks, the multiple goofy versions of Kryptonite, and more. The guys even get into a knock-down, drag out fight over the merits of Zack Snyder's Man of Steel and the possibilities for the Justice League movie. Okay, it's more of a fierce debate... okay, more of a friendly debate.

Episode 82: COBRAAAAA!!!

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!

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?

Geek Salad

And FINALLY! A Wolverine trailer worth getting excited about!

Okay, so I could probably do without the Superman/Spider-Man 2 plot device of giving up your powers, but this still looks pretty kick ass!!!! Not to mention the Canadian Bar Fight from the Miller/Claremont Limited Series! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=WEbzZP-_Ssc

Episode 71: Family Services vs The Superfriends

From before World War II, comic book superheroes have been inspiring animated features to give motion and voice to the thrilling tales. Unfortunately, while some have been downright outstanding, others have apparently been made by untrained apes who have no concept of style or quality. To help guide you through the years and the many, many cartoons is the Geek Salad crew with Episode 71: Family Services vs The Superfriends. Join Andy, Mike G, Jim, and Mike C as they discuss such topics as the awesomeness that was Batman: The Animated Series, but also the awfulness that was the 1978 Fantastic Four cartoon (curse you, H.E.R.B.I.E.!). Then stick around as Total Recall visits the Trailer Park, and the gang hit back at Ric Flair and the Juggalos in Stupid, Stupid.
