EW.com's Entertainment Geekly Podcast

Jeff and Darren are reeling from the 'Big Brother' finale, the betrayal-soaked epic climax to one of the best seasons in reality TV history. But first, they take a good hard look at the upcoming season of videogames, and try to figure out just what the kids will say about Nintendo's Wii U. Then they look at the pilot of 'Last Resort,' ABC's new Tony Scott-does-Lord-of-the-Flies serialized drama. Speedman is invoked!

Jeff and Darren look ahead to the shows they're most excited about in the new season. They're intrigued by 'Last Resort' and 'Revolution.' They're hopeful that 'Walking Dead' can maintain its season finale momentum. And they're utterly perplexed by (yet fascinated with) 'American Horror Story: Asylum.' Also: Religion is discussed!

On this week's preview episode, Jeff and Darren take a long look at the films coming out between now and Christmas. Topics discussed include: The possibility that the new 'Judge Dredd' will be really good, the hope that 'Frankenweenie' will mark a return to form for Tim Burton, the curious backstory of 'Argo,' the social implications of 'Wreck-It Ralph,' and the suspiciously expanding 'Hobbit' mini-franchise.

On a far-reaching episode, Jeff and Darren talk about the burgeoning romance between Superman and Wonder Woman, which leads to a discussion about the potential 'Justice League' movie. Other topics include: Jim Starlin, the Marvel/DC arms race, the strange names in the new 'Mad Max' movie, the possibility of James Gunn directing 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' and more!

The big movies have all been released. The big TV shows are still a month away. What better time to take a look back at the stuff we were obsessed with this summer? Jeff's been rereading 'The Sandman,' Neil Gaiman's comic book masterpiece. Darren's been watching 'Big Brother,' which is some sort of masterpiece, maybe.

This month, Entertainment Weekly is hosting a March Madness-style bracket game, letting readers vote to decide the identity of the greatest superhero ever. On today's show, Jeff and Darren offer their personal picks in all the Round One showdowns. Daredevil or Spider-Man? Wonder Woman or Black Panther? Can anyone beat Batman? Prepare yourself: This is, by a wide margin, the nerdiest podcast yet.

When Darren invited his colleague Keith Staskiewicz onto the show, he was expecting a spirited discussion about Paul Verhoeven, the underrated director of the original 'Total Recall.' He wasn't expecting a 'Network'-worthy rant about Comic-Con culture. It's an extra special, extra cantankerous episode of 'Entertainment Geekly'!

Christopher Nolan's third Batman movie is the biggest, messiest, weirdest, and most flat-out ambitious blockbuster movie this summer. Jeff and Darren don't hold back in this lengthy episode, which includes a SPOILER-y conversation about the ending, an attempt to grapple with the movie's politics, and a few theories about where the Bat-franchise can possibly go from here.

Superman, Bilbo Baggins, Guillermo Del Toro, and a Three-Breasted Mutant Prostitute all came to Comic-Con 2012. On this week's episode, Jeff and Darren are joined by EW movie reporter Adam B. Vary for a deep dive into the geekiest films at Comic-Con. Then, Jeff and Darren talk about what they enjoyed about Christopher Nolan's final Batman film...and what they didn't like. (Spoiler Alert!)

This week saw the release of 'Amazing Spider-Man,' Sony's reboot of the web-swinging franchise. Jeff and Darren talk about the new movie, but they also take look back at the original Sam Raimi trilogy, and come to some interesting conclusions. (Could it be that 'Spider-Man 3' is better than you remember?) They also talk about Comic-Con, where Jeff will be hosting a 'Firefly' reunion panel. Browncoats unite!

Everybody has their own angry opinion about 'Before Watchmen,' DC's series of spin-off prequels which dive into the mythology of one of the best comic books ever written. Jeff and Darren have their most vicious debate ever about 'Before Watchmen,' but things take a turn for the philosophical as they remember their first time reading 'Watchmen.' Also discussed: 'Watchmen' writer Alan Moore, who recently made headlines when it was revealed that the ultimate villain of his upcoming graphic novel is none other than Harry Potter.

In our longest and most theory-tastic podcast yet, Jeff and Darren take a deep dive into 'Prometheus,' the sorta-prequel to 'Alien' which has fascinated and infuriated audiences in equal measure. We try to get to the bottom of some of the film's unanswered mysteries, while pondering what a potential 'Prometheus' sequel would look like. We also talk a little bit about our favorite videogames from E3. Hint: One of them involves the Revolutionary War.

Next week, the annual videogame mega-convention will show off the industry's most exciting and disappointing sequels. Jeff and Darren talk E3...but only after decompressing from the sad (or happy?) news that the 'G.I. Joe' sequel has been delayed into 2013.

Two years ago this week, 'Lost' ended six seasons of mystery, thrills, and emotionally-distant fathers with a controversial series finale. Jeff and Darren talk about their memories of 'Lost' and how their perspectives on the show have changed. Then, just to shake things up, they offer their respective Top Three Serialized Dramas That Aren't Named 'Lost.' Expect the unexpected!

Perpetually low-rated cult series 'Fringe' just finished its penultimate season with a finale that was action-packed (Leonard Nimoy! Resurrection! Pregnancy) but also disappointing. Jeff and Darren talk about the noble ambitions of the show's Reboot Season, analyze what makes 'Fringe' great, and try to imagine what's in store in the fifth and final season.
