Episode 52: The Last of You?

This week we are back and a bit louder than before, trying out some new mics and they pick up a HELL of a lot better than those old Rock Band mics.  This week we tackle some nerdy goodness regarding the shifting of BvS, rumblings of Pixar taking on Star Wars, Quentin Tarantino and his Hateful Eight, Monstrous 13gig Patches, Last of Us DLC,  WiiU sales estimations being way off, New Nintendo rumors and We wax nostalgic about FF10 HD.  I bring you another short of Free Shit, Good Shit and we both talk Last of Us Spoiler Style.  So sorry about the peaks, we will get a handle on these new mics in no time.

Click here to listen to this weeks podcast in iTunes or Sticher.

We've also included the most recent episode via the embedded link below. 

Here's the answer we received via Facebook, as well as our own  from last weeks Question(s) of the Week with "What movies do you watch when you're sick" and the Wonder Woman proposed another "What superhero do think should be on TV?"  

Bat:                     
 Q1: Breakfast Club
 Q2: The Punisher. Bat just wants to see Frank Castle go the procedural oute and take on villains and crime bosses every week.  

Hammer:              
 Q1: Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs & You Don't Mess with the Zohan
  Q2: The Warriors 3 from Thor.  Preferably I would like to see the original                            cast do this one but if not they could always recast and go with a younger casting of       each and go the 'before you knew them route.'  All of this would be done in the                  vein of Hercules and Xena, traveling across the 9 realms doing good.

Josh:                    
  Q1: Boondock Saints & Super Troopers
 Q2: Deadpool. "Of course Ryan Reynolds would be the top choice but I think Will                Arnett could pull it off too."

For the next SzG Question of the Week we ask  "What fictional time travel device would you choose?"  Make sure to get your answers in for us before February 7th.

Catch us next week, same Bat channel same Hammer time.

Episode 49: Your Ronin is mine!

Welcome back dear listener to a whole new year of Sprecken ze Geek with an extra long episode.  Bat and I ring in the new year with our review of 47 Ronin.  We catch up with your everyday heroes and hear how their holidays went. There's your weekly nerd news: Derp hacker takedowns, The Rock in DC project, Guardians cast picture and synopsis and Netflix trying different things. A new edition of Hammer's Free Shit, Good Shit as well as the answer to last weeks Q of the Week and next weeks question "What Xbox 360 exclusive would you recommend for Bat's library and why?" As always we bring you what we're watching and playing.   

On a side note I realized we didn't even discuss the title of this weeks podcast as we usually make some puny joke.  This weeks came from the fact that when I saw Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa's character onscreen (top) I immediately saw (bottom) and pointed this out to Bat by saying "look, its 'Your soul is mine!"

We've also included the most recent episode via the embedded link below. 

Here's the answers we received via Facebook, as well as our own  from last weeks Question of the Week with "What book, that has never before been adapted, would you like to see made into a movie?"    I've also included Wikipedia entry tags for each in case you wanted to delve a bit more into each of the choices.  They were all pretty fun.

Tristan chose:     Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein
Charles chose:   The Dark Elf Trilogy by R.A. Salvatore 
Josh chose:        The Republic by Plato
Bat chose:          A Spell for Chameleon by Piers Anthony
Hammer chose:  On a Pale Horse by Piers Anthony  
I cheated and had a second one which was  
                            The Man with the Golden Torc by Simon Green

Next weeks SzG Question of the Week (we  still need a better name for that) is "What Xbox 360 exclusive game would you recommend for Bat?" Make sure to get your answers in for us before January 10th.

As I mentioned on the podcast I would like to give a shout out to a new local Comic Book shop, Dreadnought Comics.  Both Bat and I love our comics and from my interactions these guys do too and their set up is something I have not seen before.  If you are local be sure to check them out.
