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

Feb 5, 2017

1hr 20 min

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

Oct 29, 2016

1hr 14 min

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.

Oct 22, 2016

1hr 38 min

It is known as one of the greatest legends of all time. It has been called a great epic story! It’s also been called “Only a Model……” And on this night, Geek Salad calls it Episode 134: “Sir Not Appearing in this Podcast.”

Join Andy, Mike, Joe, Katherine, and special guest “Also Joe” as they discuss the legend of King Arthur in the realms of popular culture. From literature, to music, to television, to movies, the Geek Salad team has you covered, including a not so lengthy discussion on “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.”

Special thanks to David McLain for his contribution to the historical film renditions of the Arthurian legend. Help him out by buying his book “The Time Traveler’s Resort and Museum” and contributing to his Indie Go Go page, www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-time-traveller-s-resort-and-museum#/

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

Sep 30, 2016

1hr 11 min

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)

Sep 22, 2016

1hr 5 min

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?

Episode 131: I Can't Hear You!!!!

Aug 11, 2016

1hr 13 min

Hello Cleveland! Are you ready to rock? I can’t hear you! The team of Geek Salad are way louder than you! And Andy, Mike, Katherine, and Joe have sobered up to tell you their favorite (and comically horrifying) concert and live music stories in Episode 131: I Can’t Hear You!

Have you ever been a beer mule for a Brian Adams concert? Andy has! Have you ever seen Eric Clapton 8 times? Joe has! Have you ever seen Travis Tritt during the World’s Greatest Mullet phase? Mike did! And have you ever had to drive the stoner bus to a Phish show? Katherine has stores…

There are also stories about opening bands that forgot their place in the pecking order, worst encores, and a whole lot more! So grab your lighter (or your lighter app if you’re..ya know…young…) and hold out hope that they’ll close the show with “Freebird!”

1hr 46 min

Have you traded your passions for glory yet? Or have you not lost a grip on the dreams of the past? If you’re anything like the team at Geek Salad, you’ve probably done the former….

…however, Andy, Mike, Katherine, and Joe are here to kick off their Summer Podcast Series with their homage to the singular talent that is Sylvester Stallone in Geek Salad Episode 130: Eat Thunder and Crap Lightening! Listen to the chronicles how a man got his start in soft-core skin flicks and hit the pinnacle of his success fighting the US’s ills and pouring copious amounts of groin sweat into his American Flag boxing shorts!

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!!!)
