Night Of The Living Geeks

The boys are back this week! They took a day off from sitting around in director's chairs to talk about this week in entertainment! They talk about MARVEL COMIC INVASION and MARVEL 1943: RISE OF HYDRA, Daredevil: Born Again Episodes 5 and 6, and the big long announcement for AVENGERS DOOMSDAY! Plus a whole bunch of trailer talk!

Friends and fellow free thinkers, it's time to turn on, tune in, and drop a bit of whatever these guys are on! Yes, this month we're looking at a very very weird 1971 film called Rainbow Bridge. We think of it as something like a living, breathing self-help book. Sure there's some surfing, gorgeous views of Maui, but there's also drugs and rambling and some bonkers visuals! Oh, did we mention that Jimi Hendrix drops in, raps with the locals a bit, and then busts out with a concert?! Yeah, just wait until what you hear what the Space Brothers think about LSD!

THE TIME HAS COME: For a new episode of YaketyCAST! This week our hosts battle it out in a....battle to end all battles when they talk about KRAVEN: THE HUNTER. One of our hosts loved it, the other one did not! Can they find a middle ground?! They also discuss the Nintendo Switch 2, Coyote vs. ACME, the Happy Gilmore 2 trailer, DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Episode 4, and much more!

The YC Gang is back at it once again this week! John gives us some reviews on his first play through of The Last of Us Part 2 and the movie Novacaine! Ernesto saw Black Bag and has a whole lot to say about The Penguin! They also discuss various other topics that include the Toxic Avenger, Ted Lasso, Skibidi Toliet, and that one time a Bay Area Radio Station played "Hot in Herre" for 72 hours straight! All this nonsense and much more!

Friends, it's time once again to get into some classic Doctor Who! And we have a special treat this time, our good friend Lena Barkin (self-confessed 2nd Doctor and Jamie aficionado)! Together we review the only 8-part story in the show's history: The Invasion! Complete with a mega-maniacal tech oligarch (yeah, feels familiar, right?!), the Cyberman, and the introduction of UNIT, this story has so much good stuff packed inside that you'll be impressed we only kept it to an 80 minute discussion!

Well, they did it. The host of YaketyCAST somehow survived another Daylight Saving! While they try to figure out if they've gained or lost a hour, join them as they navigate through this week in entertainment news! John saw RIFF RAFF and MICKEY 17 this week, and Ernesto regales us with his time in the music studio as a triangle player! They also discuss ACCLAIM making a comeback, the first two episodes of DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN, and recommend some music they've been listening to!

Folks, we are back into the swing of things post-Gallifrey One and we have our annual post-Gally "episode suggested by our friend Mike"! This time around, Mike has suggested RTD's very first series: Dark Season! Originally made for kids back in 1991, it's clear that RTD really wanted to write for Doctor Who because RTD's style and The Doctor's fingerprints are all over this six-part series! So grab a paddle and wear something really pastel and let's dive in!

FOLKS. It's been SEVEN YEARS since the fine gentlemen of YaketyCAST have graced the microphones but never fear for the comeback is at hand! Join Ernesto and John as they talk about whatever they've been doing for the past seven years. They also discuss a couple of trailers, some movies they've seen, some video games, and a whole lot of TV news! They're easing back into it (this was basically to test levels and our new recording set up) so we hope you'll join them for their regular tangents and nonsense going forward!

This month we take a look at the work and research of one Terry Mitchell. He may not be known widely, but his fascination with Bigfoot led him to the Pacific Northwest where he claims to not only have made contact with Bigfoot, but was made their ambassador to humanity! Seb's amazing research on Mitchell includes many very interesting newspaper articles along with some interesting other angles Mitchell has on Bigfoot culture! So grab your tree knockers and let's get into things!

Hello once again from GALLIFREY ONE! Join us as we recap our Saturday which involved the Podcaster's Meet Up, Whovians Who Tiki, and the West Coast Premiere of inDoctornated! We hope each and everyone one of you had a fantastic con!

Greetings, Whovians! Join us as we recap out DAY ONE of Gallifrey One 2025 live from the lobby of the LAX Marriott!

GREETINGS WHOVIANS! We are LIVE from Gallifrey One 35! We talk about our Day Zero and what we're looking forward to seeing on Day One!

Season Two is here, friends!! And we start this new season with Seb having sourced a 1996 video called The Face in the Window that documents the experience of a rural Missouri family who happen to be playing with their new camcorder (remember when VHS ruled the roost?) when something strange peeks in their window to see how the wrestling match is going. Was it an alien? Was it possibly a mascot head? Either way, there's definitely some high strangeness afoot!

Ladies and gents and everyone inbetween, the boys are back! Yes, after the LA Fires delayed our planned recording date a couple weeks ago, we've returned to the mic to bring you our review of The Wheel in Space which has had 2/3 of the episodes faithfully and wonderfully animated by TARDIS Time Girl over on YouTube! So tune in, enjoy, and we'll see you next time at Gallifrey One!

Now that our holiday commitments are done, we're back to review the 2024 Doctor Who Christmas Special "Joy to the World"! Frankly, we loved this Moffat-penned adventure. So be prepared for us to say lots of good things about the show we love...because why would you keep watching if you don't like it? That's weird. Anyway...on with the show!!

Happy New Year, friends and listeners! It's 2025 and maybe you're just taking it easy this first day of the new year. Need something to keep you entertained? Well, this month we end our first season with a fascinating tale that had been at the fringes of our awareness for some time: The Toynbee Tiles! What are these weird little messages that have been showing up since the 1980s?! With the help of an excellent 2011 documentary, we dive deep into the Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles. Because it's so much weirder than it appears on the surface!

Something ood is afoot in the Ood Sphere! Yes, it's capitalism and exploitation come to wreck yet another civilization! Aren't we humans grand? Yes, this time we watch the wintry classic Planet of the Ood and weigh its message against the legendary, heavy-handed Orphan 55 (good news, not as heavy). And programming note: we may not be reviewing the Christmas special until about the first of the new year, so let us take this opportunity to thank you for joining us in 2024 and to wish you all a lovely holiday season!

Well, if you have "Rock Lobster" by The B-52s stuck in your head now, you're welcome. Because this time we review The Fires of Pompeii! Guest stars of future past, the world through Donna's eyes, and a wicked twist to the choice the Doctor has to make that we pretty much had forgotten about! Join us, won't you?

Friends, this month we take a look at the interesting life of one Riley Hansard Crabb. From his years in Hawaii and the Akualele Research Group to his time with the Borderland Science Research Association and into some of the stranger talks/books/booklets he's published. And yes, there are some Keel-ian almost Hellier-esque connections to be made. We weren't able to cover every aspect of his vast catalog, so we encourage you to check out the links in the show notes to learn more!

Well, we're clearly coming out of something of an election hangover and while there's work to be done on that front, we're also coping with a bit of Doctor Who! This time we compared The Shakespeare Code to a summer's day! And it held up pretty darn well! Not only that, but we've moved ourselves and the podcast over to Bluesky so be sure to check the show notes for our new socials!
