Episode 156: An American Werewolf on Golden Pond

Feb 11, 2018

1hr 49 min

While doing their yearly retrospecticons on the movies and musics of 30 years ago, Geek Salad had neglected to cover the movies of 1981. Well this oversight has finally been corrected as the crew finally brings you episode 156: An American Werewolf on Golden Pond. "The loons, Norman! The... AHHHHHHHH!!!" That might have made me interested in seeing that movie, if I'm honest.

Yes, from Time Bandits to Raiders of the Lost Ark, Andy, Mike, Joe, and Katherine tackle 1981's top ten grossing films before heading into some of the more memorable (for good or for ill) films of the year that also gave us Donkey Kong.

Oct 26, 2017

39 min

In a special Side Salad out just in time for the premiere of Stranger Things season 2, Andy, Mike, Joe, and Katherine give you their quick thoughts on season 1. They go over all the good and the... well, there really wasn't any bad.

After that, they also give their reviews of four recently dropped trailers in the return of Trailer Park. They discuss the trailers for The New Mutants, Black Panther, Justice League, and Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Some were better than others, but the overall agreement is that Porgs are adorable.

Episode 152: MU-TH-UR is a Bitch!

Oct 26, 2017

1hr 36 min

In space, no one can hear you scream….that goes double if you’re watching any of the “Alien” movies past 1986’s “Aliens.”

So to celebrate Geek Salad’s 10^th Annual Halloween show, Mike, Katherine, Joe, and Andy sit down to discuss the horror that is the “Alien” movie series.

From Ridley Scott’s tense 1979 entry into the series, to the clunky schlock-fests in the “Alien vs. Predator” series, and back to Scott’s navel-gazing into the prequels, we’ve got you covered!

Episode 151: Nintendon't!

Oct 15, 2017

1hr 46 min

Video game technology has certainly come a long way since its beginnings, and along that path, there have also been a large number of missteps. So break out your Atari Jaguars and Nintendo Virtual Boys as Geek Salad breaks down some video game fails in Episode 151: Nintendon't!

Join Andy, Mike, Joe, and Katherine along with special guest Other Joe, Katherine's husband, and a triumphant return by original co-host, Mike C. They are pulling out all the stops to remember all the games and systems that brought us pain and misery through the years. Whether it was hours upon hours of dying in the original NES game of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles simply because my favorite turtle is Raphael, or trying to work out what kinds of drugs the designer of the Nokia N-Gage was on, they tackle the most memorable failures.

Episode 149: Duck Boobs and Bat Nipples

Sep 2, 2017

2hr 8 min

We truly live in a golden age of Comic Book movies. Much like the second golden age of comics in the early 1980’s, the Nerd Generation has never had such an embarrassment of riches….

….however, these are not the movies we’re discussing this week. We’ve again taken the votes of the Geek Salad listening audience and compiled the Top 15 Worst Comic Book Based movies of all time! Join Joe, Andy, and Mike as they count down the head-scratchingly awful, the “How could they possibly continue to get Fantastic Four wrong???”, and Joe’s all but giving up on the DCEU…at least it’s getting harder for him to defend it!

Also, special thanks to David McLain, who lends his voice to discuss his choices for the mediocre movies of the genre! Do him a solid and check out his book, The Time Traveler’s Resort and Museum, which is available to purchase at Amazon!

Episode 148: Evil Will Always Triumph Because Good is Dumb

Aug 17, 2017

1hr 49 min

1987 will always be seen as a really excellent year for fun, excellent movies. Why, just look at the top 10 highest grossing movies of that year and you'll see... umm... Stakeout was... uh... and Moonstruck is still talked a... well... Three Men and a Baby?!?

Okay, despite the top 10 of that year, there were some truly great films to come out of 1987. Yes, Geek Salad is back to go over the hits and misses of 1987 movies with episode 148: Evil Will Always Triumph Because Good is Dumb. Join Andy, Mike, Joe, and Katherine as they discuss such gems as The Princess Bride, Spaceballs, Ernest Goes to Camp, and... Jaws: The Revenge. Okay, so they aren't all gems.

Episode 147: Such Heroic Nonsense!

Jul 10, 2017

1hr 43 min

Back in 1984, kids had lost interest in most of the toy lines of the day. Then, Hasbro released the Transformers line, and kids now had toys that could be cars, trucks, jets, and guns, as well as kick-ass robots! Now the Geek Salad team of Joe, Andy, and Mike discuss the toy line, as well as the multiple cartoon and comic book series and the 1986 animated movie.

Then, they’ll put their film school nerd caps on to discuss everything wrong with the dumpster fire that is the Michael Bay Transformers series. It’s at this point that Andy will go off on proper character motivation and action sequencing while Joe and Mike bang their heads against the coffee table trying to figure out how, in God’s name, you can screw up the Dinobots!!!!

Episode 146: Boombox Barbecue

Jun 26, 2017

1hr 49 min

Ahh, summer! Kids are out of school, adults are still at work being resentful of summer vacation, and people generally want to be outside and go on trips or just relax by the pool. On those hot summer weekends, when you're firing up the grill and need some tunes for entertainment, what are some of the best songs to crank the boombox to? Well worry no longer, for the Geek Salad crew is here to give some entries to their summer playlists with Geek Salad episode 146: Boombox Barbecue!

Andy, Mike, Joe, and Katherine all have very different ideas about what makes a great summer playlist, so even if one song doesn't work for you, there is sure to be a better one around the corner. Who will have the most eclectic mix? Who's playlist was primarily picked by their daughter? If you've been listening for any length of time, you probably already know the answers. But if not, then let the burgers sizzle and enjoy Boombox Barbecue! And even if you know the answers, go ahead and enjoy anyway, because... what the hell? And be sure to stick around after the conversation as Andy, Mike, and Joe give their review of Wonder Woman.

Episode 143: Syndicated Incorporated

May 10, 2017

1hr 41 min

Syndicated television shows really come in a few of different forms. There are the shows that were created for networks, first aired there, and then moved to syndicated after their run ended. There were shows that started on networks, but moved to syndication due to poor ratings and/or quality. And then there were the shows that were first aired on syndication. Well all three of these types will be discussed in Geek Salad episode 143: Syndicated Incorporated!

Join Andy, Mike, Joe, and Katherine as they go over their many memories of syndicated TV. From the highs of Xena to the lows of Small Wonder and a whole lot of the in betweens, they go through both the joys and scars of their childhood memories of TV shows that couldn't quite make it to the big networks.

Be sure and stick around till the very end as the crew revives Trailer Park in honor of The Last Jedi trailer!

Mar 29, 2017

1hr 51 min

Ring the bell...ring the F*cking Bell!!! Wrestlemania time is here again, and so is guest host Mike Rossi as he joins Mike and Andy to discuss the greatest missed opportunities in Wrestlemania history.

From not having Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair headline WM 8, to missing out on an epic Daniel Bryan vs. Brock Lesnar match at WM 31, to CM Punk not being the one to beat the Undertaker’s undefeated streak at Wrestlemania, the team will cover a lot of ground.

Then stick around for their discussion on the upcoming NXT Takeover and Wrestlemania 33 cards and their thoughts on who wins, who loses, and who jerks the curtain.
