GeekSpeak, Season 8:

Thursday, March 19, 2009 - Geekspeak Season 8, Episode 9

We return rested and refreshed from last week's pseudo-vacation with a new Geekspeak. Just five stories this time around, but oh, what stories they are! We've got stories about a planned Fantastic Four reboot, controversy over same-sex marriages in the electronic Game of Life, and mad science at its finest! Also, the cast discusses Resident Evil 5, which is part of the reason this show went up late. Finally, in a very special Soundoff, find out the ro-man-tic dreams of the crew as they discuss their dream weddings. And stay after the end for Kathryn's command performance of the song that proves Dane Cook is a stupid jerk. It's all at your fingertips, so download it right now!

Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - W-A-T-C-H-M-E-N! What does that spell? GEEKSPEAK!

Alright, here's how it is. I'm on vacation. That means no real show this week. Instead, we decided to record a 40-odd minute podcast about Watchmen. I think it turned out well. Pardon any technical errors, this was put together at great haste and expediency to deliver you the most up-to-the-minute information on what we thought about the movie. Just go ahead and download it now.

Yes, we know Judd Apatow is apparently not actually involved with Ghostbusters 3. Ignore that story. Let's focus on the parts of the new Geekspeak that are still up to date. Parts like this:

  • Halo 3 hits its one billionth match
  • Dave Perry is calling out Sony on the PSP2
  • Samuel L. Jackson returns as Nick Fury nine more times
  • Lee Iaccoca is not happy about Watchmen
  • And the Arrested Development movie is a go!

While I curse Apatow's name, download the new show.

Wednesday, February 25, 2009 - Geekspeak Season 8, Episode 7

So here's a show. On the show, we talk about lots of things. Things like a study showing texting may be good for children, the upcoming PSP renaissance, Street Fighter IV, kraken, traditional radio hosts moving to podcasting, the Dark Knight, and the Oscars. The Oscars thing gets a little hectic but rest assured we are all still friends. It's another solid hour of awesome, so go ahead and download it now.

Wednesday, February 18, 2009 - Geekspeak Season 8, Episode 6

You know, I put all this time and effort into writing these blurbs, but I'm not convinced anyone ever reads them, as all they care about is downloading the show. So you can go ahead and do that right now if you want. If you're still reading, this week we keep the new format and use it to talk about Twittering plants, zombies in love, the Batman, and the Internet actually doing something morally responsible for a change.

But I suppose you'll find that out soon enough, since you're probably already listening to it. *sigh*...I'm going to go lie down.

Wednesday, February 11, 2009 - Geekspeak Season 8, Episode 5

It's a Geekspeak that's heavy on the new and light on the suck as we welcome not only the fresh female face of Kathryn Gonsior but also a brand new format! Listen up as we count down the top ten best geek stories of the week, including the release of The Lonely Island's debut album, the DTV transition delay, Bill Gates releasing mosquitoes on his fellow plutocrats, and - of course - Watchmen!

Is this the precipice of a brand new era for Geekspeak? Probably. There's only one way to find out, and that's by downloading it.
