Recorded January 22st, 2024 We close in on 200 episodes!  Who can believe it?  We certainly can't.  Amazingly, after all these years we actually still like talking to each other.

Episode One Eight Two: A Final Tepid Take (for now) Recorded 10/25/2022 A discussion about episode 10, the Season 1 finale of House of The Dragon turns into in an depth discussion on season 1 itself.  For Andrew's money, it is a triumph.  Our analysis delves deep into how intimate misunderstandings lead to Realm altering catastrophes.

Episode One Eight Zero: A Bottle Episode, with Dragons Recorded 10/4/22 Google what a “Bottle Episode” is and this episode will come up as an example (probably).

Episode One Seven Nine: Bunghole Vibrations Recorded September 29, 2022 HoT-D episode titled “The Princess and The Queen”.  A HUGE time jump!  Rhaenyra and Allicent are truly at odds.  This is an episode of sideways glances and thinly-veiled secrets.  Daemon is married to a formidable woman so of course his happiness will be crushed before […]

Episode One Seven Eight:  We are RSVP'ing “No” to any Westerosi Weddings Recorded September 20th We discuss episodes four and five of House of The Dragon.  The political intrigue is phenomenal.  The character moments are wonderful.  The dragons are really cool and there is terrible violence at a wedding.  It's the best of “Games of Thrones” […]

Episode One Seven Seven: Daemon Broke Rule #1 Recorded September 5th More Hot-D!  Character moments abound in this episode.  We recap Rhaenyra's, Daemon's and Visery's big moments.  This episode is heavy in prophecy, superstition and imagery.  It also has either an awesome or ridiculous action sequence, depending on your tolerance for silliness.  And either Daemon […]

Episode One Seven Six: If You are in a Medieval Battle, Always Wear a Helmet Recorded September 3rd HoT-D runs thick.  Patrick has a dumb idea (a couple dumb ideas, actually) and we talk almost as long as the episode itself. Our favorite dragon moment of any Game of Thrones series is in this episode.  […]

Episode One Seven Five: The First House Of The Dragon Hot Take Episode Recorded August 22nd It's our first hot take episode of House of The Dragon.  We discuss lore and character and world building and it feels so good to be back in The World of Ice and Fire.  Join us every week for the […]

Episode One Seven Four: The San Diego Comic Con Recap episode Recorded 7/24/2022 San Diego Comic Con is back!  After a pandemic imposed hiatus, the greatest of all Pop Culture weekends has returned.  And much like The Matrix, no one can be told what Comic Con is, you have to experience it for yourself.  We […]

Episode One Seven Three: Sadie Sink and Vivien Lyra Blair Appreciation Episode Recorded 7/5/2022 Back on our bullshit.  A proper Two-Shot.  We talk Star Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi and we talk Stranger Things Season 4.  You can imagine our opinions vary wildly.  Patrick doesn't think Kenobi's stakes are high enough, Andrew disagrees.  Andrew loves that Season 4 goes full horror […]

Episode One Seven Two: Both Patrick and Maverick are Dads now. Recorded June 18th, 2022 You read that correctly, Patrick is now a father.  His partner delivered a healthy little girl and he has been on newborn duty these past few weeks.  But that hasn't stopped him from making a rapid-fire list of things we […]

Recorded 4/17/2022 There is quite a bit of criticism in this episode.  We discuss the shortcomings of several current geeky properties.  Andrew wishes he cared more about Moon Knight.  Patrick wishes he cared at all about Halo and all three Brothers agree that Star Trek Picard is just boring.  Unfortunately, with all the content available to us, nothing we are […]

Recorded April 3rd This episode is great, truly great.  We talk about all the things.  If you can think of it, we talk about it.  This could be called “What The Brothers Watched, Played and Read for the Six Months They Didn't Record An Episode” episode.  But that title is absurd.  We argue and agree […]

Recorded March 20th, 2022 A true One Shot.  We talk The Batman and little else.  Patrick wanted a little less of it. Andrew finds many of its moments to be perfect and Chris makes a bold statement. We all loved it though and will watch it again. Trivia is Catwoman themed, and hard as hell Get vaccinated; Save […]

Recorded March 13th, 2022 So, many hiatuses does that make for us? Four? Five?  We won't ask if you missed us because we know the answer is an unqualified “Yes!”.  We get caught up, kind of. Patrick still hasn't seen The Batman.  But he will in the near future.  We talk the nut-crushing difficulty of Elden Ring.  […]

Recorded 10/7/21 Nothing has been as anticipated for The Brothers as this movie.  We have said since the very first episode of this podcast that our collective dream is a truly well adapted version of Frank Herbert's classic novel.  David Lynch's 1984 abomination forever lives in BrothersGeek Hall of Shame.  The 2000 SyFy miniseries didn't […]

Episode One Six Six- We Escaped The Matrix! Recorded 10/10/2021 We won't ask if you missed us, because we know you did. Life intervened in a big way for all three of your BrothersGeek.  But now we return and the last quarter of the year should be filled with all the geeky content you can handle.  We […]

Episode One Six Five: Muddled is a Keyword Recorded 4/25/2021 Truthfully, we recorded this episode so long ago and I did an abysmal job taking notes that I have few specifics to recap in these show notes.  You'd think after 164 episodes of a podcast, I would be better at remembering what we talked about, […] The post One Six Five: Muddled is a Keyword first appeared on Brothers Geek.

Episode One Six Four: We go full Mystery Science Theater Recorded 4/11/21 Welcome to a whole new month and your favorite Geeky brothers are back to talk so many things.  We start off with an in depth, high level, engrossing, erudite analysis of one of the dumbest movies each of us have ever seen. Godzilla vs […] The post Episode One Six Four: We go full Mystery Science Theater first appeared on Brothers Geek.

Episode One Six Three: The Snyder Cut One Shot Recorded 3/21/2021 After years of speculation and handwringing and deviciveness, Zack Snyder’s Justice League has dropped on HBOMax. It is epic, in scope and duration and our acclaim for Snyder’s vision of the comic book cross-over event movie is appropriately positive.  We admit our expectations were extremely low […] The post Episode One Six Three: The Snyder Cut One Shot first appeared on Brothers Geek.

Episode One Six Two: Wanda Maximoff Levels Up Recorded March 7th After 9 weeks of fan theories and guessing and true internet absurdity, the finale of WandaVision has aired.  And, largely, concludes in satisfying ways.  Our admiration of Elizabeth Olsen and her wonderful achievement of carrying this series is fully cemented.  Chris breaks does the thought experiment […] The post Episode One Six Two: Wanda Maximoff Levels Up first appeared on Brothers Geek.

Recorded February 22nd 2021 (probably) The finale of The Expanse brings together perhaps our most favorite season of the show so far.  And contains maybe the best spacecraft battle ever put to film.  We are left hanging off a cliff at the end of the epic hour of television and we can’t help but be salivating for more […] The post Episode One Six One: Whatever Happened to Martian Congressional Navy? first appeared on Brothers Geek.

One Six Zero: Just Basically A Series of Two Shots At This Point. Recorded on 1/31/2021 The Expanse rockets towards a finale that really only feels like the first half of a 20 hour space opera epic.  The story so far has built to a climax we recap in our next episode.  WandaVision is wonderful and weird and […] The post One Six Zero: Just Basically A Series of Two Shots At This Point. first appeared on Brothers Geek.

One Five Nine: 3 Camera Sitcoms and 3 Geeky Brothers Recorded January 18th (I think) We endeavored to talk The Expanse but WandaVision is just so good we can’t avoid diving in the first offering from the MCU in over a year.  It is wildly creative, superbly crafted and deeply confusing.  We each embrace the wondrous use of classic tv “sit-com” […] The post One Five Nine: 3 Camera Sitcoms and 3 Geeky Brothers first appeared on Brothers Geek.

One Five Eight: The First of Many Recorded January 9th (probably) We begin our series of One Shots recapping and reacting to season 5 of The Expanse and absolutely crush the first half of the season.  Season 5 (mostly) adapts book 5 of the James S.A. Corey entitled Nemesis Games.  Chris and Andrew are reminded quickly just how […] The post One Five Eight: The First of Many first appeared on Brothers Geek.

Episode One Five Seven: A Cast of Thousands! Recorded January 3rd 2021 This episode is truly supersized.  And we have so many special guests it’s almost silly.  Brothers and nephews and nieces and girlfriends and brothers-in-law and cousins and The Progenitor himself, our father, the tata, Timothy appears.  Each special guest gives their picks for their […] The post One Five Seven: A Cast of Thousands first appeared on Brothers Geek.

Episode One Five Six: The Reverse Smurfette Recorded 12/19/2020 Better late than never!  We recap and react to the season 2 finale of The Mandalorian titled “The Rescue.”   We experience some significant technical difficulties and our discussion is unfortunately cut short.  Needless to say, we love this episode.  The action, the reveals and maybe our favorite sequence in all of Star […] The post Episode One Five Six: The Reverse Smurfette first appeared on Brothers Geek.

Episode One Five Five: To The Empire! Recorded 12/13/2020 We, your humble BrothersGeek, don’t just react and recap The Mandalorian season two episode titled “The Believer.”  We give our hottest takes on the enormous content announcement from Disney Investors Day.  We finally are getting promised MCU Disney+ content long delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.  Patrick feels […] The post Episode One Five Five: To The Empire! first appeared on Brothers Geek.

Episode One Five Four: Boba Fett? Boba Fett?!  Where?! Recorded December 6th, 2020 We, your BrothersGeek, recap and react to Season 2 episode 6 of The Mandalorian, creatively entitled “The Tragedy”.  A long-awaited arrival does not disappoint in this episode.  Christopher has been waiting nearly all his life to see Boba Fett truly kick ass […] The post Episode One Five Four: Boba Fett? Boba Fett?! Where?! first appeared on Brothers Geek.

Episode One Five Three: Two Lightsabers Are Better Than One? Recorded 11/29/2020 We experience minor technical difficulties this time around.

Episode One Five Two: A One Shot about a Side Quest.   Recorded November 22nd 2020 It happened.  We recap and react to The Mandalorian season two episode four entitled “The Siege”, and it happened.  We got bored with The Mandalorian.  Chris, Andrew and Patrick all react similarly to the mid-point in this season of the Disney+ series.  Our […] The post Episode One Five Two: A One Shot about a Side Quest. first appeared on Brothers Geek.

Episode One Five One: Mando Learns About Diversity Recorded 11/15/2020 We recap and react to season 2 episode 3 of The Mandalorian titled “The Heiress”.  Our discussion spans bullshit backlash against a toddler alien being hungry, bullshit backlash against a woman not looking age appropriate and the stark reality that The Mandalorian series seems to be telling […] The post Episode One Five One: Mando Learns About Diversity first appeared on Brothers Geek.

One Five Zero: More than Space Wizards with laser swords Recorded 11/9/2020 This week is more of a One Shot than last week. We dive deep into Season 2 Episode 2 of the Mandalorian.  The episode is aptly named “The Passenger” but it could have been easily named Baby Yoda eats unfertilized eggs.  The Mandalorian […] The post One Five Zero: More than Space Wizards with laser swords first appeared on Brothers Geek.

One Four Nine:  This was supposed to be a One Shot Recorded 10/31/2020 Well, this was supposed to be our first episode in a series of One Shots where we focus on episodes of The Mandalorian.  And we do talk about The Mandalorian season 2 episode 1 in great detail, but we veer into other territory […] The post One Four Nine: This was supposed to be a One Shot first appeared on Brothers Geek.
