Geek Mentality

Ever notice in this year's Marchy McFly theme song I say "Comics, Cartoons, and More?" Well, it's time for "More" as today I talk about the 1989 Nintendo Entertainment System game, "Back to the Future" that apparently is based on my favorite movie. If you told me this game was called "Avoid the Bees" that would make more sense. If you're on Spotify, you might be seeing the video. Otherwise check it out on our Youtube channel, where you can watch me play this game for the first time ever. And also the last time ever.

Happy Wednesday, Time Traveleers! Today I watched another kinda good episode from the first season of Back to the Future: The Animated Series. Today I watched episode 11 from the first season, "Gone Fishin'" and, I dunno - am I delusional or are these getting better?

Merry Christmas Back to the Future fans! Yes, I realize it's March (hence this podcast) but today it feels like Christmas as Doc brings Marty and his family back to old timey England to celebrate the holiday (and escape the warm weather at home) in, "Dickens of a Christmas." Is this a classic episode of Christmas television? Is this a Christmas special that should be aired yearly? Hmmm, not sure I can go there - but for this show, pretty good. That's the highest compliment I think I can give. Pretty....pretty good.

Butterfly in the sky....I can go twice as high. Take a look - at a comic book as I'm reading another one! No Animated Series today as I talk about the two stories in "Back to the Future #2: Untold Tales and Alternate Timelines Comic." I loved reading these when I first got them back in 2016 as a birthday gift (Thank you Cocos!) and I loved reading them again. BUT, towards the end of the episode I did come up with (live while recording) a fun idea that I think I will do once I am done with the Animated Series. And, here is the full video that I used a clip of at the start of this episode.

I've had two wishes - two things I wanted to see on this Back to the Future cartoon. First, I want to see the rest of the McFlys (or at least Marty's parents). And second, I want them to go to the future. Well, we haven't met George or Lorraine yet, but FINALLY THE BROWNS TRAVEL TO THE FUTURE in today's episode, the 9th of the series, "Solar Sailors." See you in the future!!!!

Play Ball! Today I talk about the eighth episode of the animated series - a baseball centric story titled, "Batter Up." But I also talk a little bit about a Youtube Video from Propstore that previews some Back to the Future props that are going up for auction in the coming days. They'll be discussing it more in the "Stuff Dreams Are Made Of" livestream tomorrow! JUMPING GIGAWATTS!

Happy Friday, McFly! Today I got back and talk about the animated series - again - only this time the episode had two shorter separate stories, "Time Waits for No Frog" and "Einstein's Adventure." This episode is coming out just in time for you to listen to it as you drift off to sleepyland. I hope my voice doesn't cause any nightmares...

This sucker's electrical! I wouldn't call today's episode that I talk about "Electric" in the sense that it's anything great - but it does deal with the discovery of electricity so it kinda fits. Today I talk about the 7th episode (Oh man I still have 19 more of these?) of the animated series titled, "Go Fly a Kite." Wow has it already been one week? We're about 22% of the way there (I looked it up). See you tomorrow - unless you're....chicken.

A podcast about a comic book about a sci-comedy classic movie. Can it get geekier than that? And believe me - I mean that in a good way. Folks today I take a break from childish cartoons and focus on more mature storytelling as I talk about the two stories in "Back to the Future #1: Untold Tales and Alternate Timelines Comic." I loved reading these when I first got them back in 2016 as a birthday gift (Thank you Cocos!) and I loved reading them again. Check out the video I was talking about and feature a clip from in the opening of this episode.

Friends, Romans, Countrymen - and Countrywomen....Welcome back to day 5 of Marchy McFly! Today I watched an...okay episode of the animated series titled, "Roman Holiday." And while I wasn't all that thrilled with this episode, I am excited that tomorrow we'll be talking about Back to the Future but NOT the animated series....But still listen to this one first!

Happy Monday. Buttheads! I had one more day off before getting back to work so I was able to record today's episode early again. Today I talked about the fourth episode of animated series "Witchcraft" - which travels back to 1600's Salem and continues the talk of at least one character dying. I love family entertainment!

I got BACK IN TIME! I am back from my week long trip with my wife to visit her mom in Florida - and finally Marchy McFly feels like it's ready to take off for our daily venture into this wild "Back to the Future" animated series. Today, I talked about episode 3 of the first season "Forward to the Past" - and wouldn't you know it, another episode featuring death. Fun times!

Happy Saturday Time Team....not sure I like that one. But I did kinda like this episode. It's pretty silly stuff but I am enjoying dissecting it like it's an important part of the Back to the Future canon. Today we travel back to 1300s England with the Brown family in an episode titled, "A Family Vacation." Speaking of which, my family vacation is ending today. When this episode is released, my wife and I will already be at the Fort Myers airport ready to go come home. Home - where I can get back to what's most important....Talking about Back to the Future. See you tomorrow!

336 days. That's how long it's been since I've backed a future. Since I fluxed a capacitor. Since I marchied a mcfly. 336 long, pointless days just spent with work, family, and friends....but those wasted days are over and we can finally get back to what's important in life - podcasting about Back to The Future for 31 straight days. And sure, this is probably the last year for this celebration - but most people thought last year was the last year - but it wasn't. Last year was not the last year, but last year's next year - which is this year - is probably the last last year. One day in and I've already lost my mind. Today I fill you in with what's in store for Marchy McFly IV and we talk about the first episode, from the first season of "Back To the Future: The Animated Series" which is titled, "Brothers." See you tomorrow, buttheads.

Back in 2020 I found out that a guy I knew from grammar school and high school was going to be a judge on a reality show. I was already aware that this guy worked for LEGO and was a designer there for years. When I found out he was going to be a judge on this show - I first thought - wow how cool is that? And then I thought - that’s a cool idea for a show. So I immediately started watching and have see every episode and of every season and all of the holiday episodes. At some point along the way, maybe in the last 6 months or so I realized that LEGO Masters originally was a UK show from back in 2017 and that the first season was free to stream on Tubi. So I watched it. But that was only the beginning.... WATCH LEGO MASTER. WATCH THIS SHOW! Lego Masters US on Tubi Lego Masters Australia on Tubi Lego Masters UK on Tubi

Well. Here we are. Merry Christmas everybody, and welcome back – for the last time this year – to Sitcom All Ye Faithful. It’s just me here for the final episode and once again we’re heading back to Milwaukee to spend time with the Cunninghams and their friends. I want to thank everyone who listened this month – big thanks to everyone who found us on YouTube! I also want to thank all the guests who joined me once again this year. Thank you Eric, Chris, Jason and Brandon! It was great talking to you about some of these great – and not so great – episodes of television. Even though this year is done, there are still plenty of Christmas sitcoms to talk about. So, let’s do this again next year, shall we? Until then, thank you for listening. Thank you for subscribing.

Happy Christmas Eve Tannerinos! Today is the 2nd last episode Sitcom All Ye Faithful for this year and I thought it would be fun to spend the day before Christmas with a fella who I spent many Christmas Eves with growing up – my cousin (and host of the Metallicast Podcast) Brandon. And much like our old Christmas Eve evenings, we make fun of each other, talk about John Stamos, and laugh our Gladstones off… Show Title: Full HouseEpisode Title: “Our Very First Christmas Show”Original Air Date: December 16, 1988Season: 2Episode: 9

Happy Saturday everybody! It's the tail end of Sitcom All Ye Faithful for this year and today I had the pleasure to welcome back my good friend Jason who I discovered (by understanding how calendars work) that I've been friends with for over 29 years. Today we go back to Arlen, Texas to talk King of the Hill for the 2nd straight year – but after we get through talking about that episode things, take a bit of a turn as we discuss a diff'rent episode from a diff'rent show that had nothing to do with Christmas. In other words, that's when our talk jumps from good to tremendous. Show Title: King of the HillEpisode Title: “‘Twas the Nut Before Christmas”Original Air Date: December 17, 2000Season: 5Episode: 8

Happy Friday everybody and welcome back to the final Friday of Sitcom All Ye Faithful this year! Today we are going back! Back to Dunder Mifflin! Back to the Office! And back to our special co-host Chris who joins us AGAIN for an unprecedented 2nd time this year. Congratulations on the record, Chris! This time around, we went all the way to the final season of the Office to cover their last Christmas episode. The question is, will you enjoy it and be admirable….or are you impish?
