Vin Diesel said it best: it's all about family! And we've got an awesome, growing family right here at Geekscape! In fact, it's growing so quickly that maybe you haven't gotten a chance to meet everyone yet! Well, Katie and I are going to try and fix some of that this week as we introduce you to Donald and Leigh from Geekscape's 'Saturday Morning Showdown' podcast! That's right. We have a show all about classic Saturday morning cartoons and we're going to be talking a bit about nostalgia, what shows defined our childhoods and maybe what shows are best left forgotten! Along the way, Leigh discusses her hunt for Happy Meal Toys, Katie learns to educate, entertain and inspire and I talk some crazy B.S. about turning my face into a pizza. Some how I rave about 'Station 11', Katie loves Denzel in 'The Tragedy of Macbeth' and I enjoy Paul Thomas Anderson's 'Licorice Pizza'! It's a heck of a lot of fun! And Katie is not an opossum!

Many of you are familiar with Werner Herzog's acclaimed documentary 'Grizzly Man', which tells the story of the late Timothy Treadwell. Treadwell was a bear enthusiast, environmentalist and documentary filmmaker who lost his life while living among and documenting coastal brown bears. But what happened to the film that Treadwell was making? That footage is now being released as 'Diary of The Grizzly Man', a three-hour mini-series produced by my Geekscape guests Erik Nelson and Jewel Palovak, the producers of Werner Herzog’s acclaimed documentary. This new three-hour mini-series comes out on January 11th and is crafted from Treadwell’s 13 years of material. It takes us deep inside the unfolding dramas and life and death struggles of the Alaskan animals he devoted his life to protecting and understanding. We also eulogize the late greats Sidney Poitier, Bob Saget and Peter Bogdanovich. Subscribe to Geekscape on Apple Podcasts! Follow Jonathan on Twitter and Instagram!
