Geekdown Podcast

Bit of a two-for-one episode this week, friends, as Jord and Cait process their thoughts on the whole season of "The Falcon and The Winter Soldier," before moving on to the actual selection of the week, the Netflix nature documentary "Life in Colour" from the famed British natural historian David Attenborough. We also have a Cait's Crime Show Check-in, Jordan's Seiyuu Stream Minute and more. If you'd like to support the show financially, you can buy us a coffee at ko-fi.com/geekdownpod, but we'd really prefer you instead donate to organizations like the Asian Canadian Benevolent Society for the Elderly (acbaglobal.org/) the Chinatown Foundation (www.chinatownfoundation.org/), or any local org working to end Asian hate in your community.

This week Jordan brings in the somewhat controversial Netflix adaptation of the popular slice of life manga Way of the Househusband. High hopes going into this one, friends, with some surprising results when it was all said and done. Also this episode: the man behind The Winter Soldier isn't entirely pleased with Marvel, Cait feels the IP grind and updates on a surprisingly large number of things we checked out this week from Spring '21 anime debuts, to This is a Robbery, to Thunder Force and more.

Back from a short break and locked down again, your new BFFs start the wee by airing out our grievances with the provincial government before spending some time with Amazon's Invincible, the animated adaptation of the beloved Image comic book from the writer of The Walking Dead. We also suck our teeth at Star Wars chuds and Joss Whedon, then break down everything we got into over Easter break, which for Caitlin is just Criminal Minds.

This week Caitlin really comes through with a show you've never heard of, but won't be able to stop talking about, Netflix's Danish supernatural mystery Equinox. Lots to say about this one. We also discuss anti-maskers in the wild, a rare instance of a trailer amping us up, and all the things we've been passing our time with. We're taking next week off but we'll be back on or around April 13th. Have a great Easter Weekend, friends!

With Godzilla vs Kong set to release this month, we look back on one of the King of the Monsters' earlier battles, a showdown with Japanese office politics in 2016's Shin Godzilla. We also spend some time this episode processing the terrible shootings in Atlanta and other violence committed against members of the Asian community.

This week your new BFFs join the #FreeBritney movement as we check out the recent documentary from the New York Times "Framing Britney Spears" and reckon with how we viewed women and celebrities in our younger years.

Your new BFFs are taking the start of the new year to catch up on some things everyone's been watching but them, starting with one of the most popular shows in America, the Kevin Costner-lead rancher drama Yellowstone. We had...opinions. We also talk about what we've been checking out, run down some lifestyle improvements we've incorporated, and process that whole "attempt to overthrow an American election" thing.

The Sickness is oft-talked about on the Geekdown, but what does it really mean? How does it manifest? Can it be cured? Should it? To delve into these questions, Jordan sits down with fellow Sickness sufferer and longtime best friend Mr. Meloche to talk about the whys and hows of their love for vinyl records. Basically it's just taking the conversation they would have had if Jordan went home for the holidays this year, moved to the phone and recorded it. Possibly the hardest this show has ever geeked down. Sorry for that. Back in format next week, friends, to try and put this godawful year behind us. Catch us on twitter (twitter.com/geekdownpod) with the ways in which your sickness manifests.

The Paramount Network thwarted our dreams of festive cowboy romance, so your new BFFs played 'In or Out?' on everything announced at last week's Disney investor call. As it's also our last episode of the year, we took the back half of the show to run down some of the best things we checked out during this terrible, terrible year. Next week a very special episode of the show, and Jord and Cait will be back in format in the new year. Stay safe, friends, and keep up with us at twitter.com/geekdownpod until then.

A dissonant blend typical of the Geekdown as we celebrate the season with the crew at Dunder-Mifflin then check out the show Cait's been praising for weeks, Infinity Train.

We step out of November Crapathon and into December festivities this week with the annual Vanessa Hudgens Netflix project. This year it's the sequel to 2018's "The Princess Switch." How much more switching can they possibly do? Just you wait, friends. We also check in on lockdown life volume two, the resurrected G4TV and everything we've been watching including classic rewatches, new favourites, a book or two and your boy Mando.
