Geek Freak of the Week

It's been a while.  And I finally was able to hack back in.  

May the 4th Be With You! On this Star Wars Day here are some things and events (and series) that you should be caught up on!

There's S.H.I.E.L.D. - S.W.O.R.D. now S.A.B.E.R. in the new teaser for The Marvels. But what does it all MEAN?!

In Chapter 19 of Star Wars The Mandalorian, we see that the New Republic is not the happy place it is thought to be...

Need to know a few things before going to see Shazam! Fury of the Gods? You've come to the right place with the right geek. Although, Freddy from the movie is equally qualified as well.

There's a Bat-Bra now. Okay. I have missed A LOT since taking a small break from this podcast. From the new DCU to where the hell does Shazam fit in the mix along with some amazing news for Umbrella's Academy final season. It's a little March Madness indeed.

We have some of the OG's and some of the Retro Rangers back for the 30th Anniversary Episode of Power Rangers that arrives on Netflix this April. But wait...where are Kimberly and Jason? And why is there a Green Ranger? Plus, there is a big easter egg that Adam and Aisha are hiding in plain sight. It is all explained in this issue of the Geek Freak of the Week.

Why ring in the New Year at a loud bar or at someone else's house? Why not ring in the new year with the Death Star blowing up? Or how about seeing the infamous Thanos Snap from Infinity War? Take a listen to hear some suggestions so you can ring in 2023 the right way!

In the Pennyworth series on HBO, Martha Wayne gave birth to a girl. Wait, Bruce has a sister?!

Since James Gunn (and the other guy) have taken over DC Films Studios some adjustments have been made for the future of the DCEU...by ending it. Poor Henry Cavill.

Don't expect a peppy episode.

I've been MIA, I know. Here's stuff on House of the Dragon, Black Adam, Wakanda Forever, Henry Cavill's return to Superman, the death of Kevin Conroy, and a future storyline for the Power Rangers Comics from Boom Studios.

I should probably start with...SPOILERS!!! 10 is the new 14 for the classic series of Doctor Who.

Hear me out! What does the new King of the United Kingdom have in common with everyone's favorite annoying gold droid? Just take a listen and I'll explain!

The ink is barely dry on Discovery's takeover of Warner Media and now NBCUniversal is flirting to take it over in 2024. Was this the plan all along?

Crazy day of news. Shazam and Aquaman get new release dates. The Umbrella Academy is coming back! (But there is a catch) and Power Morphicon is coming up this weekend!

Dragons! Death! and maybe better dialog? Here are the plot details you need for the new HBO and Game of Thrones prequel series 'House of the Dragon'.

So...Batgirl got canned. What about the rest of the DC Superhero movies? Also, what about the future of these characters on the big screen? On August 4th, 2022 Warner Bros Discovery CEO David Zaslav explained what is going on.

The Flash will end in 2023. Superman & Lois was brought into another universe. Oh, and the CW is going to be sold soon. Here is why the Arrowverse was so important to comic book characters and fans.

Shazam! and his family, Black Adam, Sandman, Avengers, and more were all announced at this year's in-person comic con from San Diego. Here's a semi-short breakdown of the big stuff!

It's Comic-Con 2022 week! What kind of announcements should we nerds, geeks, and dorks expect from the Superbowl of all cons?

Back in the day when SyFy had a show about history, government agents, hackers, and purple goop. It's a snag, bag, and tag short speak!

WARNING! Spoilers from the Obi-Wan Kenobi series. But yeah...he had one job that he could have completed twice. Did Obi-Wan do the right thing and let Vader live? You might be shocked by the answer.

season 3 of the Umbrella Academy is here. Need a quick character and powers recap? Also, watch out for those sparrow droppings...

Margot Robbie is perfect as Harley Quinn for the DCEU. But hearing that Lady Gaga might step into the role for the stand-alone Joker sequel. Now THAT is crazy enough to work.

SHAZAM! Except, in this case, you might not get a hero. Just like Batman has the Joker and the Flash has the Reverse-Flash, Shazams main big bad is making his way onto the big screen this October.

Issue 64 brings us back to a galaxy far far away. Obi-Wan is in exile but is about to run into the Inquisitors in his solo series that is on Disney+. Who are these Sith wannabes? Take a listen.

Happy Star Wars Week! Ever hear of the machete order to watch Star Wars? It's not all the movies but it's one of the best ways to watch the saga and still hold your nerd credentials.

'Across the Spider-Verse', the follow-up to 'Into the Spider-Verse' will now arrive in 2023 but that's not all...

Can I have the list of Thor's workout plans? Amazing transformation.

Ezra Miller has caused so much noise (in a bad way) that it looks like the solo Flash movie is on hold...again. What did he do now?!

Like Santa's reindeer, you know the members of the X-Men. With Marvel Studios now having control over the iconic franchise for the big screen, what characters should they use?

Issue 63 is about...well, you know. It's in the title. Was it bat-tastic? In a word....YES!!!

What do you need to know before you go and see 'The Batman'? Find out in the latest short speak.

Back in issue 44, Dan chats about how the symbol a superhero will have on their suit is more than just a trademark. In the new Batman movie coming out, the bat emblem got a pretty interesting update.

The Riddler is getting a fresh new look in the new Batman movie. Director Matt Reeves said he wishes to do the same to Mister Freeze and a few others. In this re-post of issue 37, find out which members of Batman's Rogues could also be on the list.

Did you know there's a group that worships Gadget from Rescue Rangers? I'm serious. I think that's why we didn't see her in the new Chip N' Dale Rescue Rangers movie teaser. She's either the leader of it or they took her. Learn about it in the latest short speak.

Issue 62 is here with the history of Chip n' Dale: Rescue Rangers!

With just a few episodes left in The Book of Boba Fett, what can Disney+ push next? Looks like the Obi-Wan series is coming sooner than we thought.

In the latest episode of the Book of Boba Fett, our second-favorite Mandalorian-armor-wearing-anti-hero arrives and has his dark saber. For those who need a refresher on this Star Wars object, you're in the right place!

I think the opening credits to HBO Max's 'Peacemaker' may have saved opening credits from going extinct.

Do we need Batman to have an R rating? This is Batman we're talking about. Here's a brief look at why fans are mad after learning 'The Batman' will be rated PG-13.

Looks like the network that created the iconic Arrowverse is up for sale

In general, ruining a film's plot, surprises, and ending before it premieres for the general public is one step away from being a true supervillain, right?

The MCU is starting to recognize the OTHER Marvel characters that were blipped before Thanos' snap. Is it too late though?

Where in the world is Naomi Scott? Did she fall off Aladdin's carpet? Or did she turn in her morpher and run off with Tommy Oliver?

Issue 61 has arrived and it's all about everyone's favorite awkward-camera-starring co-worker. I hate to say but he is not the underdog & nice guy that he is made out to be. His pranks are good, I will give him that.

The title says it all in the latest Short Speak.

Before you go and sign up for another streaming account (or try to illegally download the show) the original dubbed version of Coyboy Bebop is coming to Netflix before the live action.

The geeky network for video games, pop culture, and comics (well...it was mostly for video games) is coming back. But when?! Also, do we care?

Did you see the NY Post about why "Boston Sucks"? Well, they made a reference to having the "worst Batman" aka Ben Affleck. Is that true? #RestoreTheSnyderVerse
