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 128: Uncle Ben Dies Again... and Again... and Again...

In 1962, the world was first introduced to a comic book superhero that was quite unique for the time, and who has since gone on to become one of the most popular superheroes ever: Spider-Man! His history has been long and not always bright, but thankfully, it has finally resulted in the beloved character finally joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In honor of this, Geek Salad is proud to bring you episode 128: Uncle Ben Dies Again... and Again... and Again...

Listen along as Andy, Mike, Joe, and Katherine go through Spider-Man's story, throughout all forms of media. They discuss the good and the oh-so-bad of his comic storylines, villains, video games, television appearances, and films. This all culminates in the group's review of Captain America: Civil War.

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 125: Tom Bombadil Ain't In This One, Either

Settle down in your favorite little Hobbit hole and break out some lembas bread, as it is time for Geek Salad to venture into Middle Earth with episode 125: Tom Bombadil Ain't In This One, Either.Yes, not even the godfather of all nerd culture, Tolkien, is safe from the Geek Salad crew, this time consisting of Ranger Andy, his Elvish maiden Autumn, Rider of Rohan Joe, and Man of Gondor Mike.

The crew take on the books (ever so briefly as they can be a bit... what's the word... boring), the animated specials (which can be a bit... '70s), and finally all six of Peter Jackson's films. They cover the good and the bad, as well as a discussion on the excessive nature of turning The Hobbit into 3 films.

(Oh, and in case you're wondering, yes, episode 126 was posted before 125. Technical issues, combined with the need to get the wrestling show out by WrestleMania, meant that 126 had to go up in a more timely manner)

Think about it…there must be Higher Love…and you can get that with Geek Salad Episode 124:  Back in the (Miller) High Life Again (feat. The Michelob Horns).  In this extra, extra long installment, Andy, Mike, Katherine, and the returning Jim, discuss the long list of Billboard Number One hits of the year 1986.  They also find time to tear apart the video for Don Johnson’s “Heartbeat,” and discuss their favorite albums released in ’86!  And what would a discussion that involves Huey Lewis be if it didn’t include Jim making jokes about his schlong!

Episode 123: Old Men Sitting In Caves Distributing Swords

It’s dangerous to go alone….take this!!!

 

…and with those words, the children of the 80’s blew into their golden cartridges, prayed that the included battery saved their game data, and went on their quest to save the Princess Zelda.

 

Now, Mike, Andy, and Joe discuss the enduring legacy that is the quest of Link in the Legend of Zelda games.  They discuss the triumphs, like the original game, Ocarina of Time, and Twilight Princess, to the failures of Majoro’s Mask, Link’s Adventure, and the CD-i games that were so awful, they were scrubbed from the Zelda continuity.

 

Then, hang out as the boys discuss the latest “Suicide Squad” trailer.

 

Then, buckle in for the depressing third of the show, where the gang discusses the recent deaths of Glen Frey, Alan Rickman, and David Bowie…

2015 Year in Review

It is the last day of 2015 and to celebrate the year that was, Andy and Mike take a moment to go over the year that was, honor those that we lost in the world of entertainment, and look forward to some of the movies coming out in 2016.

Oh yeah, and they might give their non-Spoiler thoughts on a little movie called Star Wars: The Force Awakens, as well.

Episode 122: Operation Chimney Sweep

Happy holidays to one and all from Geek Salad! And as an early Christmas gift, the crew is giving you Episode 122: Operation Chimney Sweep. Sit back and enjoy as Andy, Mike G, Joe, Katherine, and Autumn get ready for lots of coal in their stockings because this year, they're taking on the big man himself, Santa Claus!

 

They start their beef with the right jolly old elf for presents either not provided or grossly overrated, before moving onto dealing with some of the different incarnations of the fat man, both naughty and nice.

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").
