Geek Salad

Just in time for Christmas comes Geek Salad episode 92: Rankin My Bass. Yes, join Andy and Mike with special guests Joe and Autumn as they rank their bass guitars and attempt to... oh, wait. Wrong bass. No, this is a Holiday episode, so of course the gang is talking about the ups and downs (many, many downs) of the Rankin & Bass Holiday specials. Starting with Rudolph, the duo of Arthur Rankin and Jules Bass came up with some of the most classic animated specials to ever grace the TV screen. Unfortunately, they also inflicted some of the most confusing, scarring, and just plain hateful moments as well (what the hell is an Awgwa, anyway?) After that, there's some DC-inspired Stupid Stupid and a retro Trailer Park with "Santa Claus: The Movie". Finally, stick around for some Salad Shills that range everywhere from Doctor Who to commercials from the '70s. And to everyone, whatever you celebrate, have a very happy Holiday season.

Laugh tracks! Predictable plot lines! We must be talking about sitcoms. In fact, we're talking about the top 25 sitcom characters from the past 30 years in Geek Salad episode 91: Tricks Are What Whores Do for Money. Join Andy, Jim, and both Mikes as they go over a list of some of the top characters who made us laugh as chosen by you, the Geek Salad fans. They cover all the greats, from Gob Bluth to Norm Peterson. Oh, and somehow Urkel made it on there, too. The guys are still investigating that one. After that, stick around for a double-wide Trailer Park. The topic is upcoming superhero movies and both Captain America: The Winter Soldier and X-Men: Days of Future Past inspire much awesomeness. 2014 is looking very promising!

(for Stitcher and iTunes users....due to issues with posting the episode, we're reposting...just for you!) Imagine, if you will, you are stranded on a desert island.  Your sanity is only held in check by the 5 CDs that you’ve chosen to bring with you to live out your life with.  So what would they be? Jim, Andy, and Mike took the question, first to their Twitter and Facebook audience, then, to Mike C. and Adam, who couldn’t make it record.  Then, they roundtable their 5 top CDs (and another 5 that came close) with discussions about College Alt Rock, Classic Rock, Country, and Charlie Daniels’ ability to appear during bar fights! Then hang out for the Segments, when Michael McDonald reviews his Top 5 Desert Island CDs, a Stupid Stupid regarding Dino Porn, and a rundown of the trailer of “Thor: The Dark World,” and a run down of the first few weeks of “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” in the Salad Shills!

First there was Iron Man which kicked off the Marvel movie universe. Now Marvel and Disney have aired the new TV series to continue events started in The Avengers, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Now, if we, the fans, were writing the episodes, what kinds of wacky adventures might Agent Coulson and his band of intrepid adventurers get into? That is the question that Andy, Mike G, and Jim attempt to answer in Geek Salad episode 88: Don't Touch Lola. The crew take on this task with their usual poise, thoughtfulness, and deep insight. Will Andy bring up the most inadvertently hilarious Marvel superhero, the Whizzer? Will Jim make a DC Cab reference? Will Mike mention the TARDIS? Listen in and see! (BTW, as regular listeners to the show will know, the answer to all three of those questions is 'Absolutely!')

From Cannonball Run to Zombieland, the crew talks about some of their favorite moments, and others that weren't so wonderful. Then hang out afterwards for a spirited discussion on the whole 'Batfleck' affair (seriously, has no one seen Argo?). We then wrap things up with some 30 Rock love, Avenged Sevenfold excellence, and Rifftrax hilarity in Salad Shills.

In 1938, two creative young men came up with the idea of an alien from a destroyed planet who becomes one of the greatest superheroes the world has ever known, Superman. 74 years later, their groundbreaking vision has reached its ultimate form in Geek Salad episode 84: The Last Son of Kryptin (aka, Krypton, but as spoken by Marlon Brando). Join Andy, Mike C, and Mike G as they use the entire show (sorry, no segments this time) to discuss Superman and all the wonders, and horrors, that his long legacy has wrought. They also tackle his villains (including Lex Luthor's horribly petty reason for hating Superman), his friends, his animal sidekicks, the multiple goofy versions of Kryptonite, and more. The guys even get into a knock-down, drag out fight over the merits of Zack Snyder's Man of Steel and the possibilities for the Justice League movie. Okay, it's more of a fierce debate... okay, more of a friendly debate. Geek Salad is available at www.geeksalad.podbean.com, or can be subscribed to at the iTunes stor

Think back to the wondrous years when getting home from school meant sitting on the couch and watching hour after hour of glorious, mind-numbing, toy-shilling cartoons. Yes, the entire Geek Salad crew have come together to share their love (and some hate) for afternoon cartoons in Geek Salad episode 82: COBRAAAAA!!! Join Andy, Mike C, Mike G, Jim, and Adam as they relive the time when men were real He-Men and women were real She-Ra... okay, that didn't quite work as well as it did in my head.

However, they also chat about some more obscure titles like the Hot Fudge Show, M.A.S.K., and Bionic Six. Then stick around for some segments, including some new little known Michael McDonald facts!
