Geek Life Crisis: Steins;Gate Edition GLC - Season 3: Episode 2; title: "Hoboing Coma" Steins;Gate episode 2: "Time Travel Paranoia" ---------------------------------------------------------- Hello anime fans! Hello Steins;Gate fans! Hello GLC listeners! No longer will we call you prisoners. You have graduated to Assistants! Definitely a step up. This is somehow season 3 of GLC; and in these 24 episodes we review each episode of a popular anime titled: Steins;Gate. If you've never watched anime, never heard of Steins;Gate, that's fine, neither had GLC cohost, GeekLifeChuck. My goal with this season is to convince Chuck that anime is entertainment worthy of our scrutiny. And make it fun to listen to. Why Steins;Gate? It's is my favorite anime. It's a fun, time-travel, science fiction adventure. It can be silly, but in the end it's an anime with a lot of heart. The main character reminds me of myself back in the day; king nerd, goofy, kind of annoying; and lucky to be surrounded by great friends.  It will be fun to see/hear Chuck experience the anime learning-curve as I did. Japanese anime culture and terminology; things like: otaku, tsendere, hentai, “Nani???”, maid cafes, fan-service, and... is Dr. Pepper the only soda in Japan?? PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SHOW!

She's a writer, actress, producer, and up and coming cosplayer that you need to get to know. She has a growing social media presence and now a youtube movie short we think is great.  It's titled "MsMarvel: No Normal".  It's about the beginnings of Kamala Kahn, a Muslim-American girl from New Jersey that eventually becomes Ms. Marvel. Chuck and I look forward to her future movies, based on how great the first one is. In this podcast episode we talk with Anisah about the importance of diversity in comics, empowering women, tolerance and acceptance, and being true to yourself.

Episode 49 "Avengers: Infinity War - Spoilers" "Should T'challa Supply Vibranium Armor to his Warriors?" Chuck and I review the newest Avengers movie, and give our potato rating. There's some funny bits, so even if you think you know everything about Infinity War, you'll still LOL, maybe even ROFL, or SYP, but... then put those pants in a washing machine. There's an enjoyable piece about Thanos' comic book history, produced by MissGeek89 (please find and follow her on instagram). Ashle976, as always, deftly handles our outro (find her on instagram as well), which is followed by a brief song I wrote about Thanos. Thank you prisoners for listening!  Please keep in touch as possible.  Any support goes a long way.

Episode 48 "RIP Winchester and The Hawk" Chuck and I talk geek talk, and the topic of a "Hall Pass List" comes up.  You know that list when two married people agree on 5 celebrities it would be okay to lay with in a biblical way, and you cannot catch flack for it.   We talk Hulk and Green Lantern and Tom Cruise, and shake weights come up again.   There's a promo for a great new unique podcast app called "Spoke - The Social Audio App".   Spoke's content curators will match you up with your next favorite app.  Also, keep an eye out for the micro pod  "Biscuits and Gaming" - helping gamers to plan party nights.  What food goes with Settlers of Catan?  What wine goes with Lord Of The Rings RISK?   Then we mourn and roast the passing of David Ogden Stiers (Winchester on MASH, Timisun on Star Trek: The Next Generation) and Stephen Hawking (the smartest man in the world, "wheel chair guy"). Also, there was a winner to our GLC Oscar Pool!  It was "the_nerdy_dude" - listen to his acceptance speech at the end of this episode.  Then go follow him on Instagram. That's all for this episode!  Please let us know that you like the show.  Track us down on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and beyond. Thanks for being part of our show!  YOU ARE APPRECIATED!

Episode 47 - "Interview with Ben Kreger, co-creator of The Black Suit of Death", an independent comic book that we love.  Ben and his buddy Ed Ellsworth created The BSoD many years ago, and now their hip deep in severed heads.  Not real ones, but heads drawn with nearly a 3-D accuracy (by phenom Dexter Wee) in the newest issue of this comic; issue #2. This issue is being released first to those that backed it in Kickstarter (That would be me. You can again find my name in the comic on  BSoD's "Worthy List", so I'm keeping my head thank you).   Ben, Ed, and Dexter shared issue 2 with Chuck and I before anyone else so we could do this interview.  BUT the main reason we'r doing the interview?  The Kickstarter has begun for ISSUE 3 of BSoD.  Go to Kickstarter now and pledge to this creative project.   There have been 3 issues so far: The first one is like an issue #0, called "The Ides of March" Then there is Issue #1.  We interviewed Ben about that issue back in October 2016.  Go check it out, I re-listened, and actually thought we were funny. Issue 2 - is BSoD in action, the suit is switched to 11 and the scythe is cutting like a deli slicer. Issue 3 is in campaign mode, go to Kickstarter to find out more. Or go to fund.blacksuitofdeath.com and follow the easy steps to become cool like me. Gotta run!  Sorry for the quickly written notes here.  I'm going out to get ramen with Celeste right now.  I have a life, people! Your buddy, Geek Life Steve

Episode 46 - "Black Panther - Spoiled Yamojis" We breakdown this great movie with more detail and give our official potato rating.  We hear from Ashley from Kentucky, and also Chuck's son, Griffin gives Black Panther a rating.  He gives yams, because they're from Africa, you see. We have some laughs, and I hope you enjoy.  Please give us a rating at Apple I-Tunes. We are not accepting thoughts or prayers this month.  Sorry.  :( Blazing Saddles reference in there, and ummm... I forget. Dammit I meant to put an Ishtar reference in there, but I forgot.  Oh well, you're spared from that.  I'm fried.  I always type this stuff up when I'm half asleep.  Black Panther was great.  So was "Get Out"  I just bought it on Amazon.  Stay after the credits for a couple of silly things. Thank you prisoners!   Stay warm, or cool, or wet, like in a heated pool, or a hot tub.  Take care, brush your hair. No one reads these right? Fax me something!  212-858-5751 Peace!  LLAP!

Hey everyone! Just a quick episode where Chuck and I talk "Black Panther" with no spoilers.  Also included is an interview with Bob from Royal Collectibles (my local comic shop here in Queens).  They have a large Facebook group, and used the power of SOCIAL MEDIA to invite everyone out with them to see Black Panther on opening night. So, I wanted to talk with Bob about the movie and their night out.  Also, thank you to Diane at Royal Collectibles for the special introduction.  If you're in Queens, or nearby, it's worth a trip to Royal Collectibles. They have everything a comic geek could want. Thank you to new Patron the_nerdy_dude (on instagram). Also to yetiatlarge (on twitter), and Scott Parkin who is selling some sweet USS Callister t-shirts on instagram.  (His daughter did the amazing art.) Enjoy!  Take care, brush your hair!

Episode 42 "The USS Callister and Avocados" Hello GLC listeners and prisoners! If you enjoy Star Trek and/or role playing video games, and you have not yet watched Season 4: Episode 1 of Netflix "Black Mirror", then... get thee to a Holodeck!  Or your living room, and watch it.  It's not just Star Trek parody, it's a smart take on modern gaming, creeps with too much power, overcoming adversity, and good versus evil? Although, who do you root for?  The captain of the USS Callister, Robert Cody, or the newest crew member, Nanette Cole? Chuck and I discuss this cool episode specifically, and wonder if it could make a decent series. What does "USS Callister" have that "The Orville" doesn't? Thank you to Ashley from Kentucky (Ashe976 on Instagram/Twitter) for her revised outro (and intro?).  Also, thanks to MissGeek89 (Instagram) for her Callister review from jolly ol' England.  Please follow them both on Instagram if you aren't already. I hope you enjoy the episode!

Episode 41 "The Last Jedi - Spoilers Up The Ying-Yang" Chuck and I give the latest Star Wars installment our potato rating.  We review some theories and have some laughs. I am really happy with this edited version.  Not sure how other people do their podcasts, but this episode was an hour and twenty minutes long when I started editing it.  Now it's as tight as a Porg's butt on an ice planet.   Not too much to say here, if you saw the movie, then this pod brings up some interesting points.  If you haven't seen the movie yet, how did you get here?   Happy New Year!  Look for us on Patreon.com!  Leave us a review on iTunes (Apple Podcasts).  We're on FB, IG, Tumblr, and The Twitter.  Please reach out to us.  We'd love to hear from you.  Email me at geeklifesteve@gmail.com.  And visit our website: www.geeklifecrisis.com.   Thanks for listening!  And for reading!  When are you seeing Last Jedi again?  @geeklifechuck @geeklifecrisis @geeklifesteve @ashe976 (That's Ashley from Kentucky on Instagram.)

R. Ellsworth & Benjamin J. Kreger Read it to the kids, tonight! ----------------------------------------------------------- Ben and Edward were nice enough to share this with us and wanted us to release it today, December 24th.  Look on my IG feed today for the written version, and the accompanying artwork by Jian Guo. I will probably make this an annual holiday tradition.  We look forward to having Edward and Benjamin back on our show in March 2018 to talk about the new BSoD comic book, art by Dexter Wee.   If you don't know who or what the Black Suit of Death is go to www.blacksuitofdeath.com or www.warriorinnkeeper.com.

Episode 39 - "SNOOTLE - Interview Author Tia Petty" Turn on this podcast and go to www.snootle.com to check out Snootle, a comic strip by Tia Petty.  Snootle is a dog going through a "puppy life crisis"! Snootle and Repty the garden snake have adventures while looking out for their human boy Patrick.  Tia just had her first Snootle book published, and you can find it on www.amazon.com or www.barnesandnoble.com.  The book is huge and colorful and makes a great gift.  It's the kind of book that you should leave out on the coffee table so friends can page through it and say "gee this friend of mine has a great sense of humor, and is sooooo good looking." Tia tells us about how she managed to produce this special tome using only an iPad!  She gives away all the secrets so you can create your own comic strip and make it into a book and compete with her on the store book shelf.  I share my childhood comic strip character I created with her and Chuck, his name is Gimic.   Also, there's a quiz at the end and Tia does well.  Many more winning sounds than buzzer sounds. We hope you enjoy this episode!  Thanks for listening.  And really, check out Tia's book, Snootle, you may even want to buy the t-shirt and coffee cup with Snootle's face on it as well.

Episode 37 "The Last Jedi - Opening Night Review - NO SPOILERS" Chuck and I talk Star Wars "The Last Jedi". One of saw it on opening night, and the other has questions.  No spoilers!   The only thing you need to know is how many times will you see it and in how many D's?  2D or 3D or more? Your bud,  Steve @geeklifesteve @geeklifechuck @geeklifecrisis www.geeklifecrisis.com #bringbackshatnerascaptainkirk Please give us a nice review on iTunes!  THANKS!  

Episode 36 - "Ishtar: 30 Years Hot Fudge Love" THE EPISODE YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!   WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!  The episode that may make you change your name to Carol. (Ishtar reference) We've been teasing you on IG and Twitter with #bringbackishtar for months now. (Go ahead, google that hashtag.)  Not only are Chuck and I talking about this too hip for the room comedy; we got to interview a big shot filmmaker!  "Waiting For Ishtar" is a new documentary (available December 15, 2017 on VIMEO On Demand). It was created by filmmakers John Mitchell and Jonathan Crombie. Chuck and I were lucky to interview John Mitchell about our mutual love of the misunderstood film "Ishtar".  John's documentary is about a quest; a quest to find a sole video cassette copy of Ishtar, and to uncover why there was a waiting list of 47 people to see it.  While making the movie, John and Jonathan got a lot more than they dreamed.  They were the "Rogers and Clark" (Ishtar reference) of documentaries.  They were the dreamers that didn't give up until they achieved their goal.  Their simple documentary became an adventure.  Oh, and they got to interview, Charles Grodin, Carol Kane, and Paul Williams.   Enough about John and Jonathon... Chuck and I got to talk ISHTAR!  With a kindred soul, another wise human being that "gets" the humor, loves the songs, and has always wondered why Ishtar got so maligned?  Ishtar is 30 years old, and it's overdue for a sequel. Step aside Star Wars! We hope you enjoy this interview with John Mitchell.  It was a pleasure having him on the show.   Instructions: 1) Listen to this podcast.  2) Order "Waiting for Ishtar" using Vimeo On Demand. 3) Buy the blu-ray of Ishtar.  4) Learn all the songs. AND PLEASE -- review our show on iTunes!  It means so much to us. Thanks John for coming on our show!  It was great laughing about Ishtar again. Your Buddy, Steve John's twitter: @waitingforishtar Find us on the Facebook, the Twitter, The Tumblr, and ummmm.... I think that's it for now. @geeklifesteve @geeklifechuck @geeklifecrisis geeklifesteve@gmail.com #bringbackishtar #ishtarcon #waitingforishtar Thanks Ashley from Kentucky!  @ashe976 on Instagram Telling the truth can be dangerous business.    

Episode 35 - "Thor: Meh-ranok?" Someone on the show has a special rating system.  Likes/Dislikes/and Meh.  Is Thor: Ragnarok "meh" or not "meh"?  That is the question. Highlight of the show - probably not us, it's probably Ashley from Kentucky with her very funny and yet swift and succinct review of "Thor: Ragnarok".    Thanks for being part of our show, Ashley! We talk about Chuck's backyard fun at home, Celeste makes an appearance, we mention my favorite new podcast "Whiting Wongs", and then review the Uru out of Thor and his hammer, Mjolnir.

Episode 34 - "Dissecting Star Trek Discovery" Is Sarek secretly a member of the Article 31 operatives? Chuck and poke the first few episodes of Discovery with a pain-stick, and we prognosticate on where this show is going. When this series concludes if it turns out we were right, we'll be sure to remind you. A weird mind-meld may mean Sarek had reason for placing his ward on the Shenzou.  Did he have foreknowledge that ship would bump into the Klingons?  Did Michael?  Get your remote control out and be ready to hit "pause".  There's hints in every eyeball close-up, and marbles in T'Kuvma's mouth.  You can get it al with CBS All Access... ooooh yeah!! Let us know if you agree with any of our theories.  Send me a tweet! Thanks for listening to Geek Life Crisis!  Please reach out to us on the Facebook, the twitter, the tumblr, or the Instagram.  Write a review on iTunes! Visit our now "fully functional" website. (See what I did there?)  I will blog some "after editing" Discovery thoughts on our website soon.... such as, isn't it interesting that Lorca and the space bug are both sensitive to sudden bright light?  hmmm...  Does Lorca snort those spores or what? Live long and prequel, Star Trek! Your buddy, Steve @geeklifesteve @geeklifechuck @geeklifecrisis www.geeklifecrisis.com geeklifesteve@gmail.com #chuckisyourspock #bringbackishtar  

Episode 33 - "RIP Martin Landau" We celebrate celebrity birthdays with quizzes!  Woody Harrelson, Kate Beckinsale, and Kevin Spacey.   We talk about other podcasts: The Everything Podcast, The Podcouple, Large Marge Sent Us, Greatest Gen, and more! Ummmm... I'm in a rush to get to my day job.  What to write, what to write?   I probably talked about Space 1999 too much, but it's a fave of mine. You may notice this episode was recorded in July.  Other projects jumped ahead of this one, apologies to Martin Landau. Oh, my girlfriend, Celeste, appears briefly in this episode!  (NAKED!) Thanks to Ashley for the outro!

Episode 32 - "Another Shot of Yeager" Alternate Title: "Biff Yeager thanks The Greatest Gen!" Alternate Title: "Ducking Jisms" Alternate Title: "Mr. Softee For Life!" Alternate Title: "Dorkazord Truth" How often do you see a podcast dedicate an entire podcast to another podcast?  That's what we've done.  The reason?  Star Trek fans are a close-knit bunch, and when connected by dick-and-fart jokes there's nothing we won't do to show our appreciation.  There's been, drawings, memes, cosplay, drinking games, karaoke, pins, ten forward hangs, and t-shirts, but 'round these parts... we make podcasts. "The Greatest Generation", a podcast hosted by Adam Pranica and Benjamin Harrison, is the best thing to happen to Star Trek since Data hooked up with Tasha Yar.  Their podcast has equal parts analysis and sarcasm.  If you grew up loving Star Trek and being a little bit embarrassed to admit it, their podcast is easy to find.  And their community of fans are easy to join. And they are wrapping up their hilarious reviews of the "The Next Generation".  At this point only a handful of episodes left.  And then we travel with them through the space butthole to Deep Space Nine.  I don't need to sell "Greatest Gen" too much here, they are doing fine on their own.  Millions of downloads and dozens of drunk Shimodas can't be wrong.   This episode is not just about the Greatest Gen, it's about their amazing community of fans, which Chuck and I are proud to be part of.  On our podcast (this episode right here in your hands) the "Friends of Desoto" get to say their thanks to Ben & Adam for making ST:TNG something to laugh about again - amongst peers... in social groups! Out in the sunshine, with a saurian brandy in hand! This episode spotlights the superfans of Greatest Gen, Chuck and I are mostly there to roll tape, and shut out the lights. Oh yeah, and there's a quiz about The Greatest Gen.  We like quizzes. Thank you to Mr. Biff Yeager for working with us again!  Biff is great actor with a diverse and respectable resume.  He was recently in Preacher's first season, and is also a beloved character on "Gilmore Girls"!  Check out his IMDB. The role we love him for is Lt. Commander Argyle during the first season of ST:TNG, and this is his second time on our podcast.  He talks more about Argyle here.  He is "the natural" Yeager we all are looking for.  A great guy with a great story (told in our episode: "Interview With Biff Yeager"). The "Friends of Desoto" (Greatest Gen superfans): in this episode: Bill Tilley, Raz & Plaveem, Austin Harper, Dave Ko from Koch Comics, Ludmila J, Sam Tregar, Ellie Rice, Brittany Brown, and of course Biff.  Here is there contact info as I have collected so far (please follow them and tell them you heard them on our show): 1. Brittany Brown: (our Data cosplayer) @hylianviolinist on all major social media platforms.  Even patreon.   2. Ellie Rice - (our troi cosplayer) @reptrillian 3. Sam Tregar (started the #razcals - find him in the Greatest Gen FB group) 4. Ludmilla J. - (the woman with the bat'leth earrings) @luuuuda on Instagram. 5. Dave Ko - @KochComics on Twitter 6. Austin Harper - the admin of "The Greatest Generation" FB group.  You'll have to get passed him to join!  I'm not telling the secret password. 7. Raz and Plaveem - You'll here them paying the big bucks to insult each other on "The Greatest Generation" podcast, or you might bump into them at "Dangerous Curves" (strip joint). 8. Bill Tilley - not just a superfan, a necessary cog in the machine.  Bill creates faux TNG trading cards using the humor of Ben and Adam.  And he cranks them out fast.  He's found his niche, and every card is appreciated by the community. I couldn't have done this episode without every person above.  Thank you Ben and Adam, and thank you to the everybody in the Greatest Gen Community.   See you next year at Greatest Gen Kahn 2017. - Your buddy,   Steve (Please visit iTunes and give us a 5-star exocomp.)

Episode 31 - Interview with comic book writer Matthew D. Smith.  "Amazing Age" - Three teenagers spend their days creating comics until one day, the stories come to life! Stuck ina world of super-powered heroes and villains, they'll have to figure out how to save the day AND get back home in one piece! This episode of Geek Life Crisis is inspiration for anyone who grew up with a love of comic books and a dream to create them. Matthew was a great guest and we loved hearing about his 5-issue limited series "Amazing Age".  He also created and wrote the popular "Bee Sting" graphic novel, which he later produced into a feature film, with a sequel. (Available on Amazon.) While Matthew sold us on Amazing Age I tried to sell him on the 3-issue limited comic book series I made when I was 10, called "Galactic Defenders" - starring Thunder Thrower, a godlike hero with a hammer. (Can't believe it's 2017 and I'm typing about Thunder Thrower.) This was the part of the interview when Matthew mentioned the new villains he should trademark, "Cease and Desist". Amazing Age 3rd issue is coming out September 13, 2017.  It's not too late to ask your comic shop person to back-order the past two issues. With artist Jeremy Massie doing the art, and Christine Brunson on colors, this comic strikes a nostalgic chord with older comic fans, and... is great entry level stuff for kids perusing shelves for comprehensive (and affordable) titles.  We hope Matthew has great success and comes back on our show.  We also hope he convinces Jeremy to draw HeroMan and Punk Man into their next endeavor.   You can find Matthew on all the popular social media at: mdscomics (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) Find Bee Sting on Amazon too. Find "Amazing Age" - on twitter and Facebook.  I'm sure you can find Jeremy and Christine Brunson as well, what am I your google? slave?  Go look them up! Find Alterna Comics on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram: @alternacomics Thank you Peter Simeti, founder and publisher at Alterna.  Follow his wisdom on Instagram: @petersimetiart ; and on twitter: @petersimeti.  (He was born on new comic book day.)

Episode 30: Graphic Novel Writer Wes Locher Talks "Unit 44" - Wes Locher's newly released sci-fi/comedy graphic novel is packed with laughs, with great visuals from illustrator Eduardo Jimenez. UNIT 44 - This sci-fi/comedy romp tells the story of inept Area 51 employees who forget to pay the rent on the facility's off-site storage unit, leaving the secret contents to be sold at public auction. When an alien invasion threatens Earth, it's up to agents Hatch and Gibson to recover an item from the locker if they hope to stop the extraterrestrial threat. Alterna Comic's newest graphic novel is hilarious; laughs on every page, if not every panel (awesome sight gags from Ed Jimenez).  We highly recommend it. Writer and Unit 44 creator Wes Locher was a great guy to interview. He tells us how he got involved writing comic books and writing video games. He's got other projects in the works that sound awesome as well. He survived the eclipse, and if you did also, you should buy his graphic novel.  You can get it on Amazon, Target, and if you go to your local comic store, your buddy behind the counter can still order it to get it into your hands.  After you listen to this interview, you should probably just go to your comic shop.  Oh, first give us a good review on iTunes (Apple Podcasts).  Every 5-star review helps our show get noticed by more potential listeners.  HELP US HELP YOU!  Follow Wes Locher on twitter: @weslocher Follow illustrator, Eduardo Jimenez on twitter: @edjimenezart Follow Alterna Comics on twitter: @alternacomics In this episode you will also get MissGeek89's review of "Unit 44"!  Go find MissGeek89 on Instagram!  She's got a great IG account. Our "outro" announcer Ashe976 is on Instagram as well, and you'll hear her at the end of this episode. Thanks Wes for coming on our show!  Chuck and I truly are working to improve upon the "Skype standard", so next time we talk I won't sound like a cylon.  Ha! One more thing!  There's a promo in the middle of our episode for another podcast we love "Hey Down In Front".  Give them a listen, subscribe, rate, review, rinse, repeat.

This is an interview episode with Jess, AKA Spiidermom. (Yes, she explains the name.) Previously featured in COSPLAY REALM MAGAZINE, she's a fantastic cos-player who is ready to go pro. She's starting to get noticed and acquiring sponsors, so we're glad to have her on our podcast before she becomes famous and leaves us behind. (We try our hand at being Mom-agers ala Kris Jenner.)  Spiidermom's a really funny young woman living in South Carolina, who has great cosplay adventures, as well as a cosplaying family.  Seriously, this family could have their own reality show, with Jess (Spiidermom) as the star.  Her friends got her to cosplay, now her brother cosplays, and her father cosplay as well.  (We'll have you all on the show next time!) Oh yeah, her sister-in-law is a professional mermaid.  Or something like that. Listen to this episode, and find her pics on IG at SPIIDERMOM.  Also follow her on journey on Facebook.

"So Much More Than Lily" is a new and timely biography about actress, comedian, writer, editor, and philanthropist; Milana Vayntrub. Author John V. Hamilton comes on our podcast to talk to us about The AT&T Girl now Squirrel Girl, her refugee origins, and her very bright future. We learn when inspiration strikes you can do anything. I'm talking about John V. Hamilton; his google search for Milana changed his life, and now he's really paying it forward. We hit him with a goofy trivia quiz at the end.  Does he really know everything about Milana?  Oh, and don't mispronounce Milana's name.  It makes John angry.  You wouldn't like him when he's angry. If you love Milana, if you ever googled her to learn about her background, Chuck and I highly recommend you go to www.amazon.com and buy the book, "So Much More than Lily"; the hard copy (they still have those!) or save a couple of bucks and buy the kindle version. (Electronic books... from the future!) Thank you John for coming on our goofy show.  Write another book and come back! We also have a quick promo from The Everything Podcast. Please find this fine pod wherever fine pods are found.  And then subscribe, rinse and repeat.

Episode 24 - RIP Old Chum - Adam West Tribute Our tribute to television's first Batman, Adam West. Chuck and I hit the highlights of Mr. West's life and career, in our own personal style (yes we send him off in Spock's photon torpedo... that's how we do).   There's trivia and a little quiz at the end. This was a special episode to us, so we asked for a little help from our friends.  I asked them to send in promos that also talked about Adam West.  And I was really happy to include their submissions.  It made the episode more fun for me, and I hope it does for you as well.  In order of placement in the show, and where you can find them: Large Marge Sent Us - Podcast on iTunes and wherever the best pods are found.

Episode 18 - Interview with Alterna Comics publisher Peter Simeti #BringBackNewsPrintComics -$1.50 each! In our previous episode, during Geek News, Chuck and Steve discussed the announcement by Alterna Comics publisher Peter Simeti, that Alterna is returning to the days of yore... newsprint comic books!  Alterna has been publishing comics and graphic novels for over 10 years.  They've weathered tough times, but Peter navigated those waters.  With the advent of crowd sourcing web sites, such as Kickstarter, independent comics are experiencing a renaissance, and captivating readers like never before.  Alterna comics has seen their share of positive reviews, New York Times best selling graphic novels, and now one of their classic titles (written by Peter) "The Chair" has recently become a feature length film.  Its starring Rowdy Roddy Piper (RIP) and currently making the rounds on the horror film festival circuit. Why is Alterna returning to newsprint comics?  Quality stories, lower cost, and location, location, location. Alterna comics will be found at your beloved local comic shop, but also at regular ol' newsstands, in those spots left vacant by "main stream" titles.  Increased visibility should equal increased Alterna circulation. Reading new newsprint comics again will be very cool.  I might even roll one up and put it in my back pocket for old time's sake. On new comic day, you can definitely afford to get all of the new Alterna titles for less than 10 bucks! for $1.50 an issue (and sometimes less) you can definitely afford a "reader copy" and a "saver" to put away. For collectors, newsprint comics means that mint and near-mint ratings mean something again.  A newsprint comic will need special care to get slabbed with a 10.0 rating.  Will you be smart enough to secure those first issues quality condition? Enjoy our podcast interview with Peter Simeti, publisher at Alterna Comics.  Then, go to your local comic store and tell them to add the following Alterna titles to your pull-back list: Amazing Age, Adam Wreck, Croak, Lilith Dark, Trespasser, The Chair, Scrimshaw, and Mother Russia.  If you miss them at your comic store, you'll likely see them pop up at your newsstand two months later (since comic shops get first dibs). Thank you Peter Simeti for coming on Geek Life Crisis.  We think of you as the Stan Lee of independent comics!  We hope to follow up with you  someday and hear good things about your newsprint issues. www.alternacomics.com @GeekLifeSteve @GeekLifeChuck @GeekLifeCrisis www.geeklifecrisis.com geeklifesteve@gmail.com Find us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr! #bringbacknewsprintcomics #bringbackharrymudd   Your buds, Steve & Chuck Hope you enjoyed the promo from "Grouch Inc." podcast.  It's really funny, and I'm a little jealous how easy they make podcasting seem. www.soundcloud.com/grouch-inc Special thanks again super producer, Chuck, for getting in touch with Peter Simeti, as well my long time friend Karen for our new "out-tro" at the end of the ep.  Can  you guess which celebrity she sounds like??

Hello friends! This episode we were lucky enough to talk with two of the most popular performers in American Sideshow: Donny Thomas and Adam Realman. They both cut their teeth (no pun intended with regard Donny) at The Coney Island Sideshow, now known as "Sideshows by the Seashore".  Coney Island has been the epicenter for NY Sideshow performance, with a foothold on the boardwalk for over 100 years. We discuss PT Barnum, the rise and fall of the American circus.  Adam needs your phone books!  Otherwise he may tear your cell phone in half instead.  Donny schools us on sideshow definition of geek!  And we hear about sideshow acts that went wrong for them as well as audience members. Adam and Donny are professionals, don't try any of these stunts at home.  Instead, go to Coney Island and sign up for a class.  Adam is actually the dean of the school in which he was once taught.  Donny Vomit is on tour with "Strange for Hire", and Adam remains part of the vital local sideshow scene.  Here's how you can keep up with them on the interwebs: www.adamrealman.com  (Adam) www.strangeforhire.com  (Donny) On Instagram, Facebook, and the Twitter: @adamrealman @donnyvomit @strangeforhire Also, check www.coneyisland.com for this year's "Sideshows by The Seashore" schedule.  Come out to Coney Island for the Labor Day weekend "Mustache and Beard Contest".  I'll be there for a follow up interview, and try to win the contest.  (Not likely.) Also the Mermaid Parade!  One more thing!  We have a show producer!  Allan David hooked us up with these two guests, and we really appreciate it. We look forward to doing more work with Allan.  He's @hexo66 on Instagram, go follow him.  Thanks Allan!

Our review of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Geek Chat:  Chuck and fam might have enjoyed Christmas in the crapper.  Steve didn't like his Loot Crate toy.  Oh no! Geek News: Bladerunner's Decker is back and older than ever, Lost in Space: Is Doctor Smith still creepy? Star Trek: Discovery gets new cast member.  Geek Birthdays included: Samuel L. Jackson, Harry Shearer, and Ralph Fiennes!  There is a brief geek quiz for each. This episode I added an "INSIDE JOKE" drop, because Chuck and I seem to have these from time to time, and I don't always want to cut them.  Feel free to ask if you are interested. EXPLICIT RATING earned just because we talk about Samuel L. Jackson's favorite curse. No Geek "In Memorium" this episode, but in our future "extended cut you will hear our good-byes to John Glenn.  RIP John Glenn!  Oh, and Zsa Zsa Gabor. Finally we review Rogue One.  We talk about the characters and plot and give our potato rating.  Chuck does something he says is unprecedented in the annals of our show.  Turns out it may have been precedented in the annals after all.  Enjoy!  The song at the end is silly, not my best effort, but I was fried staring at the screen trying to wrap this episode up.  Happy New Year my friends! www.geeklifecrisis.com www.geeklifecrisis.libsyn.com @geeklifechuck @geeklifesteve @geeklifecrisis Follow us on Facebook and Instagram. Please be original, and give us a 5 star rating on iTunes. #bringbackharrymudd Peace!  

My apologies, this episode had been delayed.   Holidays and other life crap.  But finally it's the episode you've all been waiting for!  The next one! Here are some of the topics: Hooters and Jiggers, Alien Pyramids, Lunar Gas Stations, Darth Maul Clones, Marvel Comics, Sarah Silverman, Joe Franklin, Lucy Liu, Mrs. Brady, Florence Henderson, Wesonality, Fidel Castro, Ron Glass, Barney Miller, Firefly, Serenity, our infamous quizzes, and Abe Vigoda gets a quick mention.  #abevigodalives  Okay, also, the sci-fi world was recently rocked by the death of Carrie Fisher, and what kind of episode do we put out?  RIP Mrs. Brady!  D'oh.  Sorry about that.  Chuck and I will do a Carrie Fisher episode soon.  She and her mother Debbie Reynolds were both forces to be reckoned with.  We hope they are both together on their journey to the next step. Hope the song at the end of this episode will cheer you up.  Thanks for listening!  Please give us a rating on iTunes! @GeekLifeSteve @GeekLifeChuck @GeekLifeCrisis www.geeklifecrisis.com Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram! #bringbackHarryMudd #MrBrooklyn Also, want a GLC t-shirt?  Chuck and I will get one to you at cost.  

Episode 13 - We give our potato ratings to "Doctor Strange"  Is Benedict Cumberbatch dreamy?  Learn how to say Chiwetel Ejiofor!  A clip I couldn't find that would have made this episode funnier (to me): The whole Spaceballs scene that ends with, "Funny she doesn't look Druish."  Let me know if you can figure out where I wanted to put that clip.  Win a prize! This is another episode where we put in our potatoes!   We come up with a new phrase that is sure to sweep the nation:  "You're a star jewel in our bag of crap." I had extra space at the end of the episode, so I just stuck stuff at the end.  Plus when I finished editing I was pretty fried.  But, that's normal.  ENJOY FRIENDS!  Please follow us in Facebook.  www.geeklifecrisis.com ON THE TWITTER: @geeklifechuck and @geeklifesteve or @geeklifecrisis geeklifesteve@gmail.com Instagram:  geeklifecrisis #bringbackHarryMudd Chuck is your Spock.  #heymrbrooklyn

Episode 12 - "Mr. Brooklyn"  Subtitled: "The One Where We Don't Review Doctor Strange" This episode was supposed to showcase our Doctor Strange review, but we have a 30 minute curfew.  Chuck and I had too much fun with other topics, I just couldn't edit them out.  It's a pretty silly episode, that had me in tears.  Often I say "I just want to do a show that makes ME laugh."  Well, this is it.   Please enjoy the original song at the end of the episode.    www.geeklifecrisis.com @geeklifesteve @geeklifechuck #bringbackHarryMudd  

Episode 11 is here!  Without someone to interview, Chuck and I revert to straight up geeks.  We talk about animated movie "Batman: Return of The Caped Crusaders" -  Is it too dark?  Or is Chuck just a good dad?  We also discussed Netflix' Luke Cage.  Is Luke Cage too dark?  Well, I don't see color. Also, I had a head cold, so I sound a bit subdued.  Promise to bounce back BIGLY for the next episode. Topics discussed:  Bobby Flay, Biff Yeager, The Greatest Generation Podcast, OMNI Magazine, Netflix Luke Cage, Planet 9, The Moon, Nemesis, European Space Agency Mars lander, Head Colds, Batman and Robin, Batgirl good, Batgirl bad, Doctor Strange, Harry Mudd, shing!, ummm... other stuff!  Enjoy! www.geeklifecrisis.com @geeklifechuck @geeklifesteve @geeklifecrisis #bringbackharrymudd #iamyourspock geeklifesteve@gmail.com  

Biff Yeager, an experienced Hollywood character actor who has been in many popular movies and TV shows such as: Edward Scissorhands, Batman Returns, Repo Man, Sid and Nancy, Seinfeld, Golden Girls, Gilmore Girls, Preacher, and our favorite: Star Trek: The Next Generation.  On TNG he played Chief Engineer Lt. Commander Argyle in season one.  Biff shined in his role, but only did 2 episodes.  This is known as "The Legend of Argyle"* and we get to the bottom of it.  We also find out Argyle's first name, and how his character dies (not canon - but close enough). * Argyle (and Biff) had a recent ST:TNG renaissance due to the popular podcast "The Greatest Generation". Hosts (Ben Harrison and Adam Pranica) spotlighted Lt. Commander Argyle one day, and their fans on social media took it from there.  Biff's now a GreatestGen listener that responds to his fans and friends on twitter.  Also, we find out if Biff would appear at "Gen Con 2017"! Did you know Biff was a big deal on Gilmore Girls too?  He talks about the upcoming Gilmore Girls Fan Fest in Connecticut.  Will "Tom, the Contractor" appear at the CT. Fan Fest?  With or without a beard?? Most recently Biff played a minor yet critical character on AMC's "Preacher".  His character changes the entire landscape of the show!  We talk about his work on Preacher, so... SPOILER ALERT if you did not see the finale! Biff's a great guy, and truly an artist first and foremost.  Chuck and I got to see some of his fractal artwork and it's amazing.  He's putting together a book of his art pieces, and hopes it will be available to purchase by Christmas.  While you're waiting for that, go to Amazon right now and get the children's book he and his daughter collaborated on: Smokey The Cat.  It's based on Biff's actual cat finding his purr.  Aww! One thing we forgot to mention on our show, Biff's twitter handle is @Biff_Yeager.  Go follow him and tell him you heard him on our show!  (Or at least follow him.) Thanks for downloading this episode, and please leave us a kind review on iTunes. PEACE! @geeklifesteve @geeklifechuck @geeklifecrisis www.geeklifecrisis.com #bringbackargyle #bringbackharrymudd   (Oh, if seems like we said our goodbyes and dumped out quickly at the end of the episode... SKYPE is a fickle mistress.  The connection crapped out, so I edited around that stuff.   Maybe I pulled it off, let me know.)

"The Black Suit of Death" - is an indie comic that deserves your attention.  This episode Chuck and Steve have a great time laughing and interviewing with Warrior Innkeeper Creative's: Benjamin Kreger, co-creator and writer of a very cool new indie comic book called "The Black Suit of Death", BSD for short.  The BSD was envisioned 20 years ago (by Ben and his friend Ed Ellsworth), and it's finally ready for it's (color) close-up.  Recently Ben and Ed completed a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund finalizing BSD#1.  They jam packed their book with fun background "easter eggs" and cool extras (including Fred Hembeck's "Li'l BSD" comic strip page!). Ben Kreger and Ed Ellsworth write this title together; it has humor, depth, and relatable characters.  Did I mention the art?  Amazing pencils and color work by Dexter Wee.  The guy's a pro. About Ben: He's a happily married guy, a dad (teaching the lessons of Star Wars and Star Trek to his kids), a proud veteran, and... he's a geek (or is it nerd?).  He followed his dream to succeed in the comic industry, and BSD is an achievement long in the making.    About the actual Black Suit: It's an extraterrestrial biomechanical killing machine (that you wear), and it is probably the very article which originated our myth of The Grim Reaper.  It reveals itself to a distraught college student named Edd Grimes. Oh, and it comes with a requisite kick-ass scythe.  Will Edd use the BSD for good or something darker?  Can Edd rely on his friends to temper darker inclinations?  Will Mr. Lutz meet an untimely end?  And how does Jar-Jar Binks tie into all this?  Get behind this indie comic to find out.  Go find his page on Kickstarter, go visit his webpage (below), or at least "like" Black Suit of Death on Facebook until you're hooked.  Then tell your local comic shop owner.  To converse with Ben and Ed On Twitter: @BlkSuitofDeath (Ed tweets in character) @WarriorInnkeepr (Ben tweets as Ben) On Facebook:  Black Suit Of Death and Warrior Innkeeper Creative Website: www.warriorinnkeeper.com www.warriorinnkeeper.com/shop (Go to the shop listed above to buy "Ides of March", the prequel comic to BSD#1) Find Dexter Wee on Instagram.  I did. Did you read what I wrote?  These guys got Fred Hembeck to do original artwork for their book!  Visit www.hembeck.com because Fred Hembeck is awesome.  Always has been. Believe it or not, I think you will enjoy this interview.  Thank you for supporting Geek Life Crisis.  @geeklifesteve @geeklifechuck @geeklifecrisis On Facebook: Geek Life Crisis www.geeklifecrisis On instagram: geeklifesteve geeklifesteve@gmail.com Can we interview you?

IMPORTANT: #bringbackharrymudd #iamfulloftiniermen   This is a long description, just go listen.

Hello everyone! We were very lucky to interview Laura Gilbert of Sydney, Australia. (We kept her up late to do this interview. Friggin time zones!)  Laura is new to cosplaying, but has become an overnight success.  She's 21 years old, and recently decided to attend Oz Comic Con dressed as her favorite DC character, Harley Quinn.  Even in that sea of cosplay she stood out.  Big time.  She has gained international notoriety due to the fact that her Harley looks identical to Margot Robbie's portrayal in "The Suicide Squad".  I dare you to tell them apart. She adores her new fans and is loving the "bandwagon" ride, as she calls it.  While speaking with her, it's obvious she has her priorities in place.  She's attending university, wants to become a full time teacher, and is right now tutoring music students as a part-time job.  Laura, sorry I tried to talk you into quitting that job, before I knew what it was!) She also did very well at our Harley Quinn Quiz!  A very high pressure quiz it is indeed. Please follow her on Instagram: Infamous_Harley_Quinn On twitter she is @lauragbert. And her email: infamous_harley_quinn@outlook.com Also, she is making great stuff on YouTube: just search "Laura Gilbert". The "blooper reel" she includes at the end of her videos are really fun. THANK YOU LAURA FOR THE GREAT INTERVIEW!   To her fans: push her to get a www.patreon.com account, and/or sell prints, whatever generates income.  Before long Warner Brothers will knock her door to be in a Harley movie.  Keep her enthusiastic!  Haha! Episode disclaimer -- I need to say, I'm sorry... I made an error while recording that created an echo effect throughout the interview.  Completely my fault.  Chuck and I agreed that it was best to release it because Laura was such a great guest.  My apologies to listeners and to Laura!  Ugh, still kicking myself over that.  Thanks again for listening.  Please go to iTunes to rate Geek Life Crisis.  Join our Facebook group.  On twitter:  @geeklifecrisis, @geeklifesteve, @geeklifechuck www.geeklifecrisis.com #bringbackharrymudd

Welcome to episode 6! It's a quickie. Due to problematic timing issues (I blame myself - so do I) this short episode was originally part of the previous one where we reviewed Star Trek: Beyond.  Feel free to download it again right now.  Anyway, the original idea was to put both movie reviews in the same episode, but it was not to be.  So this episode does not have geek birthdays, in memoriam, or even pleasant chatter.  It's just Chuck and Steve verbally sparring over the pros and cons of bustin'.  Does bustin really make you feel good?  Please let us know. (Not you, Ray Parker Jr., we know how you feel.)  Use this link to follow us on facebook:  www.geeeklifecrisis.com ---- On Twitter:  @GeekLifeChuck and @GeekLifeSteve GeekLifeSteve@gmail.com #BringBackHarryMudd #BBHM Chuck is full of tinier men. The "I blame myself" "so do I" quote awkwardly used above is actually a line from the original Ghostbusters.  I refrained from editing a bunch of original Ghostbuster jokes into this episode because I thought the classic stuff would eclipse the new movie a bit.  But, stick around to the end for one great Bill Murray zinger.
