We’re back baby! Epic craziness recently but, PM endures! First, forgive the uneven audio this time around, I totally had some of the twizzly nobs on our gear set to the wrong recording pattern so…. darn. Anyway, it’s all about movies this time. First we review “Operation 3 Ring Bound” issue 2 from the guys over at Eben07.com! We caught up with E. Burgoon & D.Bethel (Eben07 creators) at the recent Sac-Con, where they generously hooked us up with their latest issues. Next is our movie segment: “What would Georg Lucas Do”. Good o’l Georgie boy seems to have an insatiable need to tweak, modify and in general add stupid shit to his movies after the fact. We ask the question, WWGLD? Today, George’s target is… the Back To The Future trilogy! Music is provided by AirPlus Recordings+. This week’s song is “Six Degrees” by Vague Illusion, off his “Mo Anam Cara” Ep. “Mo Anam Cara” is currently available free on AirPlusRecordings.com! Below are some useful links from the show: TheTwinGeeks.com’s full list of changes to the Star Wars Movies. Rod Hilton’s Star Wars Machete Order Post PandaManga.com’s Machete Order Review/Marathon

This week we talk zombie news and review comic “Dead Ahead” by Mel Smith. At the recent Days of Terror convention we met Mel Smith who generously hooked us up with a copy of this excellent comic. “Dead Ahead” is an interesting take on a rarely explored topic of zombie survival – zombies on the high seas! In all seriousness, survival on a boat during a zombie outbreak sounds like a good idea at the time but it comes with its own challenges, which Smith skillfully explores with co-writer Clark Castillo. Smith’s vision comes to life in vivid and complex detail with Alex Nino‘s illustration. Thanks again to Mel Smith for the comic, we hope to see you at a future convention! Music is provided by AirPlus Recordings+. This week’s songs “Skyline 555” by [armed nation] and is available on Airplus Recordings Singles Vol 3.

After the most ridiculous delays in the history of Geek Life, episode 25 is here! This week we review the book “The Neighbors Have Two Flamingos“,  Brad Diller’s debut Funday Morning book. More than 80 cartoons spanning 10 years cover the hilarity of life through the main characters: Bud, Pearl, Junior, Peaches and Ninja the Cat.

Joe has cooked up a special comics retrospective starting in the 2010’s going all the way back to the 1930’s. This is a great look at how have grown and changed over the years!

This hilariously entertaining and dynamic comic totally tickled our funny bones. Vampire Women is based on the similarly titled film “Planet Of The Vampire Women” written and directed by Darin Wood. After our first comic review, we forgo a second review in favor of telling some of our personal paranormal stories around the Geek Life campfire. So grab a bag of marshmallows and sit around the fire with us as we tell spine chilling stories from our own lives. Music is provided by AirPlus Recordings+.

Welcome to the Bleach-Cast! The movies podcast where we watch terrible movies so you don’t have to! We’ve suffered 7 terrible movies and posted our thoughts and warnings about each. Since all movies on the Bleach-Cast are of a “Bleach” rating we came up with a different rating system for these particularly horrible movies…a minute rating! We rate each Bleach-Cast movie by how many minutes we can stand before one of us reaches for the remote and turns the rotten thing off! Join us for the mayhem as we subject ourselves to 7 of the worst movies ever! The welcome musical break is provided by AirPlus Recordings+. This week’s song is “Frieden” by Xsist.
