We've hit the big 3-0-0! To celebrate 300 episodes of 2 Geeks and a Microphone, Mike and Stephen are handing out the pink slips and taking over Hollywood. In this milestone special, we go head-to-head in a high-stakes battle to see who can build the ultimate geek movie franchise without going broke. We are playing "The $300 Million Producer." We each have a strict imaginary budget of $300 million to buy a Director, a Lead Star, a Villain, and an IP—but we can't afford the best of everything. If we blow the budget on a Tier 1 director like Nolan or Spielberg, we might be forced to cast a bargain-bin star or use a public domain character. The combinations are wild, the budgets are tight, and the pitches are ridiculous. Want a legendary beard like a true geek? Live Bearded has you covered.
