Geekfest Rants Ep.378:Return of the Rebel Force Radio Controversy or Bro, She's Just Not Into You
17/03/2019 Duration: 43min"Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in". A very ironic line from Godfather Part 3. Today on GeekFest Rants, join Carlos as he takes an unexpected trip back into the Star Wars toxic fandom Rebel Force Radio Controversy from last year. It would seem that the last time we covered this news story it ruffled enough feathers to actually endanger our YouTube channel. As Celebration Chicago nears, someone is trying to get back into the good graces of Lucasfilm, by attempting to silence any critical reporting of their toxic fandom misadventures.

Geekfest Rants Ep.374:Guilty Pleasures - Film and TV
08/02/2019 Duration: 58minToday on GeekFest Rants join Carlos and Steve as they explore their guilty pleasures... That is, film and TV guilty pleasures. These are the kind of films/tv shows that usually don't come up in conversation first, or you will not run out to buy a t-shirt with it's name on it. However, when it's playing on TV, you cannot help yourself to pay attention to it for the 5th, 6th, or 7th time. For every Star Wars there has to be a Dune and for every Dredd there has to be a Judge Dredd. Take that Mr, "I am the Law".
