Podcast #934 – Motor City Comic Con 2024 – 2405.19

This time I’m covering Motor City Comic Con 2024. The annual, local comic con I got to most every year and went to yesterday. I first chat about some recent TV and movies I’ve watched. Some good stuff and some ok stuff is out to see for us geeks lately – and always more to come. Then I move on to talking about the con.

I went yesterday with my two sons and had a good time. Just visited the show floor and went to one panel with the Mandalorian stars. I talk a little about the oddness of pricing for photo ops and autographs too. This year at this con they had quite a few celeb guest – more than typical I would say. Sometimes I think I should spend more time at this con, but I’ve been so many times maybe a quick day there is just fine.

I’ll be back in two weeks with probably a look at the final season of DISCO and more. Take care until next time and enjoy yourself out there.

Podcast #933 – “The Bad Batch” – 2405.05

This week since “Star Wars: The Bad Batch” just ended it’s run I decided it would be fun to do a recap and look at the series. I start off with some general talk about what I have been up to and also talk some Trek as well then it’s on to the main topic.

“The Bad Batch” started back in 2021 and lasted 3 seasons. This animated series was great and I very much enjoyed the characters and story that was told over the 47 episodes. I also liked the post “Clone Wars” era setting too. I cover the seasons briefly so if you haven’t watched this one yet give it a try.

That’s it for this time. I’ll be back in two weeks with a new show. Take care until next time.

Podcast #932 – “Saturday Mornings” – 2404.21

This week I decided to talk about some retro TV shows that aired mainly back in the 1970’s era on Saturday mornings. I first talk about recent TV and movies I’ve been watching like “Rebel Moon: Part Two” along with others things. Then it’s on to the main topic.

I loved growing up watching both cartoons and live-action Sci-Fi and fantasy type shows on Saturday mornings. Think like “Shazam!”, “Land of the Lost”, and of course “Electra Woman and Dyna Girl.” I decided to do this podcast because I noticed that last one was now showing on the Roku channel. Most of these shows can be found on DVD now, but many still are not available. I cover several and even a favorite similar type of show from the 90’s as well. It’s definitely a blast from the past type of podcast this week and I hope you all enjoy it!

I’ll be back in two weeks with a brand new podcast. Until then take and enjoy yourself.

Podcast #931 – “Disco 5” – 2404.07

This week on the podcast I cover the first two episodes of season 5 of “Star Trek: Discovery.” It’s been about two years since season 4 ended, so it’s good to see the show return. I also cover some recent TV and movies I have seen as I typically do on each podcast. Then on to the DISCO topic.

Overall I was pretty happy with these first two episodes. I like the basic story idea and the show seems a bit lighter in tone – to a degree. I toss out a few ideas and some slight spoilers for these episodes so don’t listen if you haven’t watched yet. You have been warned.

That’s about it for this week. I’ll be back in two weeks with more geeky goodness. Take care until next time.

Podcast #930 – “Grab Bag” – 2403.24

This week I decided to just do a grab bag style show and discuss some recent movies and TV I have seen. I also rundown many of the upcoming films still coming in 2024. I would say it’s a little movie light this summer, but still a few gems in there too. Also some other nerdy comments and geek stuff is shared this week. Hope everyone enjoys the podcast. Take care and I’ll be back in two weeks.

Podcast #929 – “Oscars 2024” – 2403.10

This week I decided to run down the 2024 nominations and other details for tonight’s Oscar award ceremony. This is a rare year where I have seen about half the films nominated for Best Picture and other categories. I also talk about the usual recent TV and films I’ve seen – such as “Dune: Part 2.” Then I talk about the various Oscar categories and give my thoughts and some predictions about who I think might win the golden statues later on tonight. One thing I’m happy about is the awards show starts one hour earlier than it has in the past. Maybe I’ll actually watch it until the very end – which I haven’t done in many years. Hope you enjoy this special podcast.

I’ll be back in two weeks with a new show. Until then take care.

Podcast #928 – “Austin Powers” – 2402.25

This week I decided to do something fun and more light-hearted and covered the “Austin Powers” film trilogy. A really fun series of three movies that I greatly enjoyed. First up, I talk about some Trek news included the new trailer for season 5 of “Star Trek: Discovery” that starts in early April. Then it’s on to the main topic.

The three Austin Powers movies are a great deal of fun and I finally decided to cover them on a podcast. I play the trailers and talk about the details of the films and how well they did at the box office. Really fun looking back on these and I kind of hope we might get one more some day from Mike Myers.

That’s it for this week. I’ll be back in two weeks with a new podcast. Until then take care and enjoy yourself.

Podcast #927 – “Sports & Sci-Fi” – 2402.11

This week with the Superbowl happening later today I thought it would be fun to cover sports in Sci-Fi. There are actually quite a few futuristic films that involve sports. First up I talk about various topics mainly related to what I’ve been watching lately. Some non-SF stuff too. Then on to the main topic.

I’m not the biggest sports fan but I appreciate sports and thought it would be fun to cover sports from a nerd viewpoint. I go over a number of films that involve sports in a Sci-Fi setting. Many of these I really enjoy too. As always I can’t cover all of them but I hope this got you thinking about stuff worth watching maybe later after the big game or sometime soon.

I’ll be back in two weeks with a new show. Until then take care and stay well.
