Sometimes geeks, the crazy ass stories of the pop world invade our precious nerd kingdom. Sadly, this week was one of those weeks. Before the guys can even get into the latest geek news, they discuss major stories out of the media regarding the real life family and subjects from the 2010 film The Blind Side now at war with each other in legal battle. Also, how a "country artist" has landed in controversy following a release of a song that aims at poor people. However, the guys can't help but chuckle regarding his line about "Fudge Rounds" (They ARE delicious though).Finally, the guys hit the news....like a "Rolling Stone". Huntington and the Huntington Comic and Toy Convention were highlighted in an online 'Rolling Stone' article for the unscripted collaboration between Slipknot's Corey Taylor and Spongebob Squarepants voice Tom Kenny on stage Saturday night during Tom's musical act! Also, Disney facing costly legal suit from finance arm TSG Entertainment, studio execs and CEO work to find an end to the Hollywood Writer's Strike, Blue Beetle looks toward an ok weekend at the box office (UPDATE: Blue Beetle has dethroned Barbie as the #1 movie in America with a weekend take of $23-$32 million), first image of Peter Dinklage as Toxey from the Toxic Avenger remake surfaces online, the latest Deadpool 3 character rumors and more!Also, the end of Edge's legendary WWE career? Or just a work? WWE's Sunny (a.k.a Tammy Sytch) face up to 25 years for fatal DUI incident, CM Punk's continued troubles at AEW and much more!The GeekZip Podcast proudly supports and endorses the SAG-AFTRA coalition and their requests for livable wages!Click Here To Find Out How YOU Can Help!Don't forget to follow the guys on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram.

In this week's episode, we dive into the Beetlejuice franchise and explore the different iterations of the iconic character. We start by discussing the classic 1988 movie and its lasting impact on pop culture. From there, we move on to the animated TV series, which aired from 1989 to 1991 and brought Beetlejuice to a new generation of fans. Finally, we touch on the recently-closed Broadway production and examine how it adapted the story and characters for the stage. And of course, we have some fandom news and some housekeeping, and we share your feedback. Finally, Rachel shares her experience at the Lexington Comic and Toy Convention, including participating in the cosplay contest and talking D&D with Steve from Blue's Clues.  TIME STAMPS 00:00:31 Intro 00:01:59 News 00:17:39 Rachel's recap of Lexington Comic & Toy Convention 01:02:21 Feedback 01:10:30 Beetlejuice 01:56:50 Closing Thoughts 01:59:10 Outro Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.

  Back in March we visited the 2019 Lexington Comic & Toy Convention at Lexington Convention Center. Our mission was twofold. We wanted to talk to the artists in our Kentucky Crafted program who also exhibit at the convention and find out why it makes sense from an artistic and business perspective to have a presence at Comic Con. We also chatted with a handful of costume players, or cosplayers as they are commonly known - folks who create a costume based around their favorite character and/or comic book universe or sci-fi genre. Many cosplayers create their costumes from the ground up, and we wanted to explore what kind of artistry they bring to their creations. As you're listening, peruse the photos below that we got of some cosplayers during our visit to Comic Con. We've also included links to extended interviews with the folks we talked to.

Which just happened to be filmed right around the corner from where Bryan grew up. Memories and body burns ensue. And as a couple of old guys reminisce about the way the world used to be back in the day, we also bring up... Ralph Macchio, Katrina Law, John Wick, when it came out on video, Jacques Cousteau, my son's on TV, Michael Rooker, a whole ensemble, shoveling stuff into a furnace, if you were on TV... it was a major major deal, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, taking a ferry to Ellis Island, a phone booth, Dan Grimaldi, hanging out at The Web, you are either from a different country or you're crazy, the florist in Atlantic Highlands, I'm a better assassin then  he is, raking his arms back and forth, he builds a room, it wakes my dad up, Aqua Net, Richard Fire, if your mom yelled at you in the 70's... you're going to hear whispering voices, that was it... that was my life man, just pour some bleach in his eyes, after someone does you a favor you're like... I'm going to inconvenience you further, we're a persecuted group, the entire front counter was nothing but handguns and what if Jimmy Fallon and Richard Ramirez had a baby? Spoiler Alert: Full spoilers for Joseph Ellison's Don't Go in the House. So go watch the movie before you listen... you have been warned! "...the next best thing was seeing things on TV that... you knew were around you. Because I didn't know anyone on TV - but I knew where that house was!"

Attack of the Killer Soundtrack - Episode 37 It's an 80's movie dance party - co-hosted by TIFFANY!! That's right... The Meltdown Gang hangs out at the Lexington Comic and Toy Convention - with none other then 80's international pop sensation Tiffany!! So join us as we discuss some of our favorites costumes from the day as well as build our own 80's soundtrack of songs from movies, and of course Tiffany joins in and picks a few of her favorite songs as well. And we couldn't talk with Tiffany and not ask her about her crossing over into acting - in particular, her lead role in Mega Python vs. Gatoroid. More specifically, just how real was that fight with Debbie Gibson?! And listen as we try explaining to Lucy what the Power Rangers were/are... even though we think she was in fact ON the show!And as we try to decide if there are actually recent MySpace stories, we also mention... denim jackets in Indonesia, the A.D. had to place the extras, who would have know it would have worked out, the titular song, touring the world, in Indonesia, hyping the rivalry, the hair is different but they're still just as cool, a little mini-rock opera, speed dating was free for chicks, I was at the grocery store, being directed by Mary Lambert, Agent Carter, being on an 80's cruise, just sitting on the back porch, it's a big investment, the fight scene was everything every Tif and Deb fan wanted to see, Purple Rain, I wanna be transformed back to that time period, in my own special universe, little kids in glittery costumes, can we watch that again... 'cause I missed that the first time around, you'll have a better shot at survival... if you accessorize properly, opening for Flock of Seagulls, he loves hookers and Julia Roberts, it was bigger then I ever expected, those eyes... are totally useful, the Dynasty fight, she needs a demo, I can see you using them, it was like a 'Tiffany moment' everywhere she went, once you go Crocs you can never go back, the Butler Brothers, giving me cookies to go away, more then a man... let's fight over gators and pythons, this broken down old theme park, the movie was named after the song, this is a very special episode... of the Power Rangers and there's something about glitter! "...there was times, when I threw my body weight into it - and I was like 'oh... don't crush Deborah!'"For more on Tiffany and her new album "A Million Miles", go to: http://www.tiffanytunes.com/And to plan your trip to the Lexington Comic and Toy Convention, go to: http://www.lexingtoncomiccon.com/
