Episode 48: Super Happy Panic Cola!

It’s a Geek Time Warp!  This episode was recorded right before Thanksgiving and there’s a lot of discussion of what we’re going to be doing for Christmas and Thanksgiving.  Ryan brings the Geeks gifts from the Food and Wine Festival at Epcot.   They’re fun and delicious!  This turns into a discussion about Disney World and the sharing of stories.  There’s even drama surrounding the dinner order.  We discuss the Marvel/Netflix deal.

Episode 46: Freeballin'

Yes, we released this one a little early.  Ryfun has to do his husbandly duties and go on an anniversary trip with the missus (to Walt Disney World, of course), and we didn’t want to sit on this one.  You'll understand when you hear it.  It’s good stuff!  The geeks discuss the release date for Episode VII!  We also talk about the Six Million Dollar Man and Godzilla.  We also have a genuine Bob Hope-style walk on.  Well, actually, more like a Dean Martin-style walk-on, but still…  Plus, is there a moratorium on “that’s what she said”?!?  If so, the length of the podcast will drop by half!

Episode 45: Return of the Ackface

We’re Jeffless for the first time in a lonnnnng time.  We’ve really got to find a backup Fourth geek.  Any takers?  We talk about a cool website called thehappeningbook.net .  This thing is awesome!  A kid kept a journal in 1978, when he was in second grade, and on this website, he publishes a page a day, corresponding with the date in 1978.  You MUST check it out.  We share our misgivings about the turmoil that seems to be surrounding the Episode VII Production.  You’ll notice that when we recorded this episode, the EpVII release date hadn’t been announced yet.  We get into a discussion of It’s a Wonderful Life and of classic cereals, life Baron Von Redberry!  And we miss Jeff during the discussion of exactly why Scott doesn’t care for The Simpsons.  Then, the weirdest thing happens.  Ryan tells tales about his friend Ackface, and Ackface comes walking in the door!  Awk-ward.

Episode 40: The One Where We Get to Finish a Sentence

Yes, this week there's no Ryan, so we all get to finish our sentences...only to realize our sentences aren't all that great.  We delve into some 1987 Starlog Magazines and read the Medialog section to see which announced projects were made (some eventually) and which just quietly disappeared.  There’s brief talk about the new Six Million Dollar Man comic series.  Scott’s bizarre organizational system is questioned and broken down for those who can understand it.  Jeff brings up the discovery of lost Doctor Who episodes.  Ron brings his latest find from…believe it or not, the library!

This is it!  Our third and final attempt to muddle our way through a discussion of the Star Wars revival!  Ryan and Jeff engage in a bizarre Scottish joke off (that’s JOKE off).  Scott discusses his forthcoming book, It Takes the Village People.  No one likes Scott’s Rowlf impression, which comes in the midst of a discussion of Jim Henson.  Our first thoughts on Agents of SHILED as well as The Blacklist.

Episode 37: The Winged Black Super-Hero!

What are your recollections of the great Star Wars revival of the early 1990s?  That’s what the geeks talk about this week…Well, that’s what they TRY to tlak about this week, but wandering brains never stay on one subject for long, so along the way Carvel Ice Cream commercials are discussed, Your desired Star Wars spin-off movie, Harry Potter spin-off movies, Tripping the Rift, the legendary Willie’s Wee-Nee Wagon, Robert Schimmel (even though they didn’t know it)—oh, and we bash the Islamic Republic of South Carolina again, for good measure.

Episode 36: Who's Been Eating Glazed Donuts in Bed?

This week, in light of the upcoming 3-3/4” Alien and the 3-3/4” Six Million Dollar Man action figure lines, the guys discuss the vintage action figure lines they’d like to see.  Ron expresses his disappointment with the lack of flesh in Rock of Ages.  The D4G Musical first comes to life.  The origins of Bear Trap Maniac are explored and an action figure line is proposed.   More adult, er, adolescent matters are discussed, and then Ron and Scott tear off into From Hell by Alan Moore.

Episode 35: Looking for the Affman

You may or may not notice, but Ron had a scheduling conflict and is therefore not present for this episode.  In his stead, we welcome Guest Geek Midi!  We finally get around to discussing the casting of Ben Affleck as The Batman.  Even though everyone else on the internet insists on calling him Batfleck, Scott insists on The Affman. The discussion doesn’t go where you might think.  There’s also a pretty robust chat about the deicision to go with practical effects and film for Episode VII that once again doesn’t go where you’d think!

Episode 29: The Geeks Meet...a Girl!

This week the Geeks find themselves joined by…a girl!  However will this unfold?  D4G listener Alison, who questions her geek credentials, joins the geeks and finds her inner geek. Ron runs late, so the Pacific Rim discussion doesn’t get to reach full flower, though Jeff and Scott saw it, and Ryan has good insight into the toy situation.   Scott brings an item he found in his storage unit and lets the others try to guess what it is.  Can you figure it out before they do?  Then, there’s the adventures in a magic shop.  Trust us, it explains a lot.  This week we also unveil a new feature called the Core 4: four things in a given topic that help define you.  The inaugural list: Core 4 Geek Movies.

Episode 28: What's My Beef, Geeks?

Ryan recaps his alcohol-fueled trip to Puerto Rico and discusses the new Star Trek internet productions.  The guys engage in a live internet meme.  How do you treat bad movies, like, say, Never Too Young to Die?  We have to explain what Dial MTV was to Ryan.  Scott's big rant is EU-related and places a target squarely on Timothy Zahn. Jeff spars over the Star Trek movies vs. Voyager.

The title of the episode is used but is only tangential to the action.  However, it does sound like one of the all-time greatest pickup lines, so we used it for the episode title.  For the second week in a row, Ron misses the show, so Jeff (FINALLY) gets his geek brother to do the show with us.  What follows is basically us conducting a Mike Douglas Show-style interview with him.  Along the way we geek out about Star Trek, You Can't Do That on Television, Big Bang Theory, Action Figures, Marvel Comics, Cinefantastique, and a WHOLE lot more!

Yes, for whatever reason everything leads back to a Hitler joke.  Are hitlers jokes appropriate?  Probably not, but what the hell?  It's just dinner, right?  We get Ron's take on Star Trek Into Darkness.  The sad, sad, sad history of toy adapatations leads to a discussion about what kind of toy adaptation Ryan would like to make.  And for good measure, since making repeated Hitler jokes wasn't enough, we start making a few racist jokes, too!  I would say you had to be there, but through the magic of podcasting you ARE there.  God help you.

No, seriously, this episode is about spoilers and how sacred they are, and what the shelf life is on them.  That having been said, we discuss a LOT of classic spoilers.  If you haven't seen Lost, Soylent Green, Citizen Kane (first time those two were ever uttered in the same sentence, I'll bet!), The Empire Strikes Back, The Sixth Sense, The Crying Game, or Planet of teh Apes, turn back now!  Don't say we didn't warn you.  However, we do talk about spoilers within the context of Star Trek Into Darkness and somehow manage to NOT ruin it!

The Geeks come to grips with the fact that a large number of the people they talk about on the show die shortly after they are discussed on the program.  Of course, most of these people are in their 80s or 90s or are gravely ill, but still... Scott remembers being dressed down by Greg Brady... Ryan looks a stranger up in the phone book at 1am and calls him!  Ron has a fit over a box of Star Wars fruit snacks... Jeff is prepared to discuss sequels that enhace and sequels that harm the legacies of the originals.

Episode 5: Darn Nation Alley

Ron brings in a stack of Starlog magazines that show they missed the Star Wars boat by a mile.  Jeff uncovers the secret history of the little-known SR Comics Group.  Ryan is all about the Batmobile.  Scott recals his first trip to see Star Wars...and his second one.  And there is enough crosstalk and utensil noise to drive you as crazy as a Tatooine Sand-bat.

Episode 3

Ryan's missing again, so once more the Geek count stands at three.  This week we talk Amazing Stories, the one Geek goodie that has never been made, and what would make us drop Star Wars.  Just so you know when yo hear it, Lou Gossett Jr did appear on the Twilight Zone Radio Dramas.

Episode 2

THIS time Jeff is missing!  We STILL don't have four geeks!  Still, it's another fun dinner with the Geeks.  Ron can't let go of his Twilight Zone thoughts, and the guys ponder SNL's politics, discuss James Bond theory, and Burton's Batman.  And, of course, Star Wars always does and always will come up frequently.

Episode 1

The inaugural edition of Dinner 4 Geeks gets off to an inauspicious start, as one of the 4 Geeks, Ryan, can't make it to the recording.  That's okay, though.  We carry on without him, and we talk about him behind his back as well.  Plus, lots and lots of Star Wars, with a little Twilight Zone, Ultraman, and more thrown into the discussion.
