Geek Shall Inherit

Hi all!   I’m getting ready to head out the door to drive down to SDCC 2015 for preview night, so I don’t have time to write a lot of clever stuff here. If you are around at the con make sure you find us and say “hi.”   Jason will be lurking around the Entertainment […]

Aaaaand we’re BACK!   It’s been a few weeks, but there was a “secret” episode in the meantime in form of my Wondercon panel that Jason was a panelist. (I should have that up on the ActionFigureInsiderTV  YouTube channel soon).  Jason and I also got to hang out a bit at Star Wars Celebration, so […]

Oh man!  Another gap between episodes?   Yes.  Yes it’s true.  Both Jason and I have been traveling a bit this Spring so our schedules have been a little wonky.  I just got back from Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle and Jason ran off to the Twin Cites for a bit, so we were literally […]

This weekend kicks off Toy Fair 2015 so since I have an action figure website and Jason has a toy company it only makes sense that we spend a good chunk of this episode talking about toys and the toy industry.  We have quite a bit of “behind-the-scenes” toy talk in this episode so we […]

We can still say “Happy New Year” to each other since it’s still January, right?  I thought so. There’s a lot of housekeeping/catch up in this episode.  Since it’s been a few weeks between episodes and there was a holiday “break” we had a chance to see and catch up on a lot of stuff […]

We can hardly believe that it’s been 3 years since we first launched the Geek Shall Inherit podcast, but the numbers… and dates don’t lie.  It was 3 years ago THIS WEEK that we launched the Geek Shall Inherit podcast with episode one, and we have been talking pop culture ever since! True to form, […]

You probably noticed that there was a bit of a gap between episodes, but if you are at all internet savvy you will have found both Jason and I talking about pop culture stuff on a couple of other podcasts.  There’s been an avalance of pop culture news the past few weeks so in this […]

Sorry this episode is a little later than expected.  I’ve been a bit busy trying to rally 40,000 collectors to make their voice heard by Toys R Us over this Breaking Dad toy controversy.    It’s taken up a lot of my week, but it’s been well worth it as we have quadruple the signatures that […]

We are NOT at New York Comic Con this weekend… but we wish we were.   At least I THINK we wish we were.  There was a report published on Thursday that NYCC had surpassed SDCC in attendance.  And not just by a little, by something like 20,000 people!    They say there are roughly 130,000 + […]

Happy National Podcast Day everybody!  Thank you for listening and sharing it with us here at the Geek Shall Inherit podcast!   If you dig what we do on GSi this would be the perfect opportunity to recommend us to a friend on this national day of podcast celebration.  We love talking all things pop culture […]

For all of you folks that have been asking for more toy talk on the podcast, then this is the episode for you!   We talk a little bit of music, a little bit of catch up and then we dive deep in our plastic lives and talk toys.   I don’t think we talk about a […]

I hope all of you US listeners are enjoying the long holiday weekend.  I know I am.  Here we are at our alliteration episode, number 111… is it still alliteration if it’s with numbers and not letters? As we discuss in this episode we now live in a world with a 12th Doctor, and just […]

If you are someone that covers comic con in the media, just because SDCC ends after 5 days doesn’t mean it’s over.   I’m still slogging through getting coverage put up.   ALL my photos are live right here, but I still have some videos and interviews that are coming.  That also means this episode […]

July is a magic month for geeks like us.   There’s summer movies, new toys, and San Diego Comic Con.    So much goodness is happening for pop culture fans that we never need to go outside in the sun at all.   We will be heading out to the big show this week.   […]

Everyone relax.  We’re OK.   While it may SOUND like we were taking heavy fire in the middle of a war zone, that’s just life in Los Angeles.   I can assure you that no hosts were harmed during this recording.   It is common in the greater LA area that teens and punk kids set off fire […]

You are joining us at a very special time.   This happens to be Jason’s favorite episode.   What makes this 107th installment his favorite?   You are just going to have to listen and find out! Ah Summer!   It’s a great time to be a geek.  Summer Movies!  Summer Conventions!  Summer Fashions…. wait?  Fashions?  That’s not […]

We’re back on a Monday!  Ha-cha!  Summer is almost upon us and Comic Con 2014 is just around the corner!   I feel the pressure of the con SCREAMING towards me!   I’ve got so much I still need to do before the con hit that I really shouldn’t even be here typing this now. One quick […]

 AAIIIIIGGGGGHHH!   Pop Culture overload!   There’s too much awesome coming at us too fast!  If we miss even a week of this podcast the topics just pile up so much that we can’t pack it all in!   Costume reveals, movie titles announced,  new toys released and directors dropping out of projects.  It all […]

Sorry it’ been a bit long between episodes but Jason and I both had to fly out of the country this past week so we could attend the Kanye/Kim wedding.   Well, I was attending, Jason was heading up the catering.   But a good time was had by all, and no expense was spared for this […]

Sloth skin smoking jacket?  Say THAT 20 times fast! Welcome back everyone.  As we mention in the intro this is another episode of GSi after-dark: Evening Edition.   Listen close to your instructions on how to listen to this episode and the dress code. At long last I have seen the new Captain America movie so […]

 From the ‘Happiest Place on Earth’ to the hippest Pod Cast on the planet.  We recorded this episode shortly after my recent visit to Disneyland so we discuss the tragic loss of my Dodgers hat, finding the Rocketeer and the Droid Factory has come to So Cal! Then, from the delightful to the bizarre: the […]

With episode 100 behind us we move on to episode 101, which I consider to be “well into our 100’s.”     Thanks everyone for all the great feedback on Episode 100.   We enjoyed reading all of the comments. Now we hope to back on a more regular schedule.   By the time you read this and hear […]

HAPPY 100!!!! We’ve been talking about it so long it’s hard to believe that it’s finally here – Episode 100.   As we’ve mentioned before the idea for Jason and I to do a podcast together was born out of an interview, and aside conversation at SDCC 2010, and from there it has grown into “the […]

Happy 100 Eve!   Here we are, 2 years later about to hit episode 100!   But let’s not get ahead of ourselves yet.  We still have a full line up of pop culture chat here in episode 99 for you to enjoy. I’m back from Toy Fair and my trip to the frozen north.   How do […]

It’s that time of year again, when someone decided 111 years ago to hold an annual trade show for toys in New York City in the middle of February, and just like clockwork there’s some sort of snowpocalypse, polar vortex, winter storm, record snowfall event gripping the city.  And once again I’m heading east to […]

 We’re still on a weekly schedule, just not back on Mondays yet.  We need a 8 day week so we can catch up and get back on track.   I think I’m gonna make some calls about that. I’m having a love affair with these new retro toys.   Between Funko’s ReAction, what Zica is doing and […]

I’ll bet you thought we weren’t back on track and were going to have another skip week, didn’t you?  Boy were you wrong!  Sure we’re a few days late from our regular Monday posting, but that was just out of our respect for Dr. King and not because we were busy and stuff.   But we […]

Ok.  The holidays are over, we had our fun, but now it’s time to get back to work!   We had a nice little break these past few weeks to visit with family.  I darn near froze to death out in the mid-west and the “polar vortex” and Jason had his mom in town. We hope […]

Ok… it’s not really a mid-season break.   We’re both such jet-setters, traveling the globe that it was a little hard to connect for a few weeks there, but we’re back with an all new episode of pop culture discussion.   We had to come back THIS week, after all on Dec 12th it’s our 2nd anniversary […]

We recorded this episode last Friday while the city of San Fransisco was in the middle of making a 5-year old boys dream come true.   Where geek and non-geek came together to transform the city for a greater cause. Thousands of people to donated their time, their energy and their efforts to transform the city […]

Welcome back everyone.  We hope you all had lovely Halloweens where ever and how ever you spent your All Hallows Eve.   Mine was great.   We even dressed up the dog again this year so it was a family affair.   Now we slide on into November.   A time of next generation game consoles, Black Fridays and […]

Happy Halloween everyone!   Sorry this episode is a little later this week, but since we’re such a fan of the season it works out that we post this episode on “All Hallows Eve.” In this episode we discuss: That 2 minute AMAZING Bruce Timm/Zach S Superman 75th animated clip. Lou Schimer, co-founder of Filmation, passed […]

Ninety episodes.   That just doesn’t seem possible.  And the saddest part is in all that time, all these episodes, all these hours… we’re still not any better at this than when we started.

Welcome to October everyone.   As you all know we have now entered Jason’s favorite time of year.  For him, October is all about “monster movies all the time, scary movies, eating more candy than you should and even the odd Halloween toy.”    I think those are all things we can get behind!   We spend the […]

We missed another week and it’s all Jason’s fault.  It’s ok.  I’m not being a jerk.  He said we can blame it all in him, so that’s what we’re gonna do!  But we’re gonna let that slide because he has a great excuse.  If you listened last episode you know he was in Chicago meeting […]

Jason has some amazing mind powers.  In the intro to this episodes he predicts that machines will go haywire in the day we record… and 10 min later we had an equipment failure while we were recording.  The episode was seamlessly edited back together by my lovely bride, but still… it’s spooky. And not just […]

I didn’t get my homework done in time for this episode so you don’t get to see the pictures of my Hot Toys Hulk fighting my new Arkham City Solomon Grundy that Jason requested.   I still had family in town and we were running all over the city.  Maybe I can get that together for […]

Hey everybody… it’s not Monday, but still here’s a new episode for the week.  Sorry this one it a bit late. The in-laws have been in town all week and we’ve been doing wall-to-wall “touristy” things to show them Los Angeles, our fair city.   Also it’s my lovely bride that cuts together all the episodes […]

It’s hard doing a (mostly) weekly show.  You gather up all the topics, the hot button issues the news of the week, you record, get the episode in the can… and then some MAJOR news story drops that you want to talk about. Then what do you do?  Wait a week (or more) and talk […]

We missed another week in there, but don’t worry, we’re going to make it up to you by giving you a double dose of GSi!   As you know the internet has been on fire for the past few days with one single topic… and it’s NOT Miley Cyrus twerking.  Something more along the lines of […]

 I don’t think there was any doubt in anyone’s mind that we would be discussing the news of the actor cast as the 12th Doctor in ‘Doctor Who.”  But that’s just a drop in the bucket of all of the topics we cover in this hour.   We hit it and move on because there’s too […]

We are still basking in the afterglow of SDCC 2013.   This year’s con was terrific, but just nuts!  Jason and I weren’t able to connect at the show at all this year, much less record an episode, but as soon as we got back home to real life we put together this episode for you […]

We’re back!   Both Jason and I are back from our travels and we’ve managed to squeeze in a podcast before San Diego Comic Con International 2013 starts tomorrow evening.   If you’re one of the folks that live close enough to drive to SDCC why don’t you throw on this hear podcast to help you […]

Hey everyone – Happy Independence Day week for you US listeners.   I hope you all have a happy and safe 4th of July.   Jason and I are both traveling this week.  I’m in Amer’cas heartland and Jason is overseas.   Today I ate my weight in BBQ and then went and bought $100 in fireworks that […]

This is another jumbo episode clocking in at 1 hour 45 minutes.   We actually debated splitting this episode and doing one regular episode and a bonus episode just talking about “Man of Steel,”  but ultimately decided to just keep it all together as it would almost be impossible to separate the two, as our thoughts […]

I hope all of you Dads out there had a great Father’s Day and Father’s Day weekend.   I know I did!  We do a bit of reminiscing on our dads in this episode and their influence on our geekdom in this episode.  My dad and his music, Jason’s dad and movies and both dad’s relationship […]

Well I hope you have all recovered from your Tony Award watching parties.  I know Jason spent the whole day Sunday cooking themed dishes for his event.  You all remember how he couldn’t stop crying while watching Les Mis.  I’m sure this was more of the same.   How about you?  Did your favorite Broadway musical […]

Wow.  Episode 75.   Superman turns 75 years old this year and we just hit 75 episodes.  Same thing, right? We’ve both absorbed the entire new season of Arrested Development on Netflix and we are ready to talk about it.   My viewing started about 12:20am on Sunday morning.  Jason started on Sunday afternoon of the holiday […]

Happy Memorial Day everyone.   I hope you are having a nice long weekend while keeping in mind the sacrifice of those that served our country and gave us our freedoms. We’re back with another Monday and an all new episode.  We get a little philosophical about “back in our day” in this episode and do […]

 Hi everyone.  Sorry we’re a bit late this week with the new episode, but that life thing keeps happening all around us despite our best efforts to live exactly how we wish to.   But we still got in a full 90 minute episode for the week and have enough topics that we didn’t get to […]
