Well after some technical problems with our web host(who we have pretty much disowned) we have found a new home with hostgator.com, and as the song says we're "Feelin' stronger every day!" And just in time, too. Because otherwise you wouldn't be able to hear our latest triumphant discourse! This time around we talk about all(well, a lot, anyway) of the movies that get people out of the hot summer sun, and into an air-conditioned movie theater. That's right, it's time for the Summer Blockbusters!!!!!!!!! Cool off with us here. As the summer continues to keep everybody hot and bothered, our thoughts turn to cooler times ahead, so our topic next time will be our first ever Fall TV preview., where we will be discussing both new and returning shows that we are looking forward to(and maybe a few we're not!) If you have a favorite show you'd like discussed, our new way to reach us is at feedback@geeksexplainitall.com or we will still be monitoring geeksexplainitall@gmail.com til the transition to the new website is

Alright everybody, the new ep is here after a long-ish break for the July 4th holiday. This time around we tackle Reality Tv, it's history, and what are some of our favorite shows. This one could have easily ran over, but our professionalism prevented us from doing so. Check it out here, and let us know what you think at geeksexplainitall@gmail.com. Our topic for next time, is a doozy, perfect for beating the heat, we will be discussing our favorite(and some not-so favorite) summer blockbusters! Yes, the movies that get you out of the hot sun and into the cool air conditioning(with popcorn!) SPOILER ALERT: if you want a hint of at least one movie we'll be discussing, you could do FAR worse than to see Pacific Rim. Go ahead, you know you want to.

Well just when you thought our talent and vision was endless(and really, who hasn't thought that already?), we have expanded our repertoire(translation:bag of tricks) to include guest stars! Our dear friend and renowned Dr. Who expert Becky( a.k.a. The Blue Lotus) joins us in an attempt to sway Stratosphear to jump into the deep end of the Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey. Were they successful? Find out here. Our topic for next time will be a discussion of our favorites(and least favorites) in the genre of reality TV. As always, we can be contacted at geeksexplainitall@gmail.com Also as always, check out our sister podcast at the Secret Lair Drive-in.

     Greetings, surface dwellers! Do not be alarmed, for I, Aquaman, supreme ruler of the seven seas, have temporarily taken over this thing you non-regal people call a "blog"  to pass on even more of my extraordinary wisdom to you listeners! Let it be known that on this OUTRAGEOUS episode of GEIA The topic of discussion is ME!(and other parts of the DC Animated Universe!) You may listen to this superlative piece of podcasting here.      The geeks topic next time will not, alas, be about my magnificence. Rather, they will be discussing something called "Dr. Who".      If you wish to contact the Geeks to talk about my heroics(or anything else) you can do so at geeksexplainitall@gmail.com      Remember, you may never be as heroic or as outrageous as me, but you should never stop trying!

   Well, we're definitely trying to stretch our limits and knowledge this week! Our subject is what I like to refer to as Narrative Rock, which is a catch-all name for Rock Operas, concept albums, i.e., anything with a storyline. I know it was an educational experience for D-Dub and I learned a few things myself.      Check out this slice of EPIC-ness here.      Our topic we tackle next time around will be a look at some of our favorites from the DC Animated Universe. Comments? Questions? Queries? Posers? Send 'em our way at geeksexplainitall@gmail.com Til next time, kids, remember, it's Memorial Day, not BBQ day. If you can, thank a veteran for his or her service. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

    Well, after the the truly demented heights(or lows?) of our Looney Tunes Episode we decided to scale things back a bit for this weeks discussion of The Beatles On Film! Just as the Beatles themselves attempted to get back to their roots with what eventually became Let It Be, We're giving you loyal listeners a sort of retro episode(for us anyway). That means no sound clips, no background music, just D-Dub and I having an old-fashioned discussion on The Beatles film career. Still a pretty spiffy episode, if you ask me(and if you didn't why are you reading this blog?). Any road, you can sample its' Beatle-y goodness here.    Our next two topics we will tackle will be Narrative Rock, which is my weird term for Rock Operas, Concept Albums, anything that tells a story(and rocks, hopefully!), followed by a look at the DC Comics Animated Universe.    Like (or don't like)what you hear and want to let us know? Drop us a line at geeksexplainitall@

     Alrighty, Geeks and geekettes I know I've said this in the past, but this is our best episode yet! This time around we tackle the vast catalog of Warner Brothers cartoons and come each come up with our top 5(at least off the top of our head). How we got through this episode without totally losing it laughing is amazing, but that's how professional we are! Besides, you, the fans are worth it!      The laughs and the reviews can be found here.      Our next couple episode include our salute to the Beatles on film for our one year anniversary show and after that a lesson in Narrative Rock(Concept Albums, Rock Operas, anything that tells a story).      Check out our sister podcast at the Secret Lair Drive-In where we review the 1954 classic, Them! Til next time , kids, remember, It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man. Later, kids! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Greetings, culture lovers! On this intellectually scintillating episode of Geeks Explain It All , we delve into the world of books. More specifically the world of our favorite book series. For an episode that was supposed to be a bit of a breather after the previous episode we actually had an enormous amount of fun with this one as well. I am fairly confident that some of our choices of favorite book series will surprise you. Hell,it surprised us on a few of them! But that's the fun of GEIA!

That's right, we are accompanied by the patron saints of Saturday morning, Sid and Marty Krofft(although it turns out Filmation had a sizable chunk of the action as well). If you're not smiling as you listen to this one, then you must be too young to remember(if that's the case, you should at least be rolling your eyes at us old farts!).

Another pulse-pounding episode from the GEIA crew has been posted for this week! Our subject for this week is the legacy of the master of disaster himself, Irwin Allen. Y"know, for a subject that I was nowhere near as well-versed in as my partner, D-Dub, I actually had such a great time discussing and dissecting these shows, that I am going to endeavor to watch more of these classics on my own. I guess it's true what they say, everything you experience goes toward making you a more well-rounded person, even talking carrots. What talking carrots, you ask? Well, you can find out by listening to the show here. Our subject for the next show is a big'un, the Golden Age Of Comics. If you have a favorite from this era that you would like us to discuss, please contact us here. As always, our sister podcast is Darkwind's Secret Lair.

New Ep finally up!!!! Well worth the wait if you ask me(and frankly, who wouldn't?). In this thrill packed episode we set about debunking the idea of corporate rock, and bring our usual finesse and state-of-the-art geekery to the subject. Ranting, raving, and some actual surprises on both sides of the microphone make this a can't miss episode. You can find it here. Topic for next show will be "Irwin Allen: Visionary or Cheapskate" Any topics you want us to tackle for future shows? Just want to tell us how indespensible our wisdom is to your life? Either way we can be reached at our gmail address. Also check our sister show at secretlairpodcast.blogspot.com Until next time, Namaste, kiddies!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I must say, this was a great show and certainly the most fun one yet! The subject at hand was "obscure cartoons from our youth". Well, maybe a few were more obscure than others , but it was great talking about all those 'toons from our misspent youth(s). You can listen to our scintillating commentary here. One observation that was made was that a lot of the Saturday morning cartoon lineups changed to mostly live-action shows, so we will be definitely strolling down this particular part of memory lane again one day. Maybe we could do a whole show just on Sid and Marty Krofft alone, who knows. If there is something from YOUR childhood you would like to see explored in depth PLEASE contact us at GeeksExplainItAll@gmail.com Namaste, Kids!
