Episode 134: One HANdred Thirty Four

Hello my dear geeks.  You're tuning into a very, very special episode of Sprecken ze Geek.  We're going full tilt spoilers on Episode VII: The Force Awakens.  You're more than welcome to tune into the beginning to hear opinion on whether or not you should see the movie in the theater (this part is spoiler free)  but once that's done we give you a couple of warnings and then just dive into the movie.  You have been warned.  If you haven't seen the movie, download and file this one away and come back to us soon.  

With all of that Jibber Jabber out of the way lets get on with the show.

That is all for this week's Blogcast.  It was short but damn it, I'm trying to keep this shit as spoiler free... unlike that little bastard who walked out after the movie shouting off... man I wanted to punt that little bastard.  Be sure to tune in next week. Same Hammer Time, same Bat Channel.

Episode 133: An Old Hope

Hello everyone and thanks for coming back for another episode of Sprecken ze Geek.   
This Episode marks the 4th week on our march onto The Force Awakens and our first (in a while anyways) foray into the original trilogy with our "streaming review" of Episode IV: A New Hope. This week we go through the announcements from Playstation Experience and our experiences at this years Fanfest. Funny enough another little company called Warner Bros also decided to drop another trailer for a little indy film called Batman V Superman, so we also discuss our thoughts on the trailer.  If you wanted to avoid possible spoiler talk about BvS skip from 38:34 to 52:47 and you'll skip right past it all.

It's been easily a couple of years since I've gone back and watched any of the original trilogy but after watching Episode IV: A New Hope I have to admit this one is a lot slower than I remember.  Not saying the movie is bad, but it is just paced slowly and there's a few logical errors that leave you scratching your head.  That said, this is the movie that quite literally started it all.  Bat made a good point that the similarities between Anakin and Luke are kind of crazy.  Both are very, very whiny which means it must be in the jeans.  Leia obviously takes after her mother.  With all it's good and bad (those 'updated' additions aren't so spiffy) we still enjoyed the movie and would give it a 3/5.



Next week we're continuing our journey into the original trilogy of Star Wars with Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.  I'm really excited to watch this one again simply because I remember loving it.  But as with the rest of the movies we've watched the it's been a couple of years since I've last seen it.  You know the drill, Trailer is down below if want to refresh you memory.

For the next 2 weeks (holy shit only 2 weeks left!) our streaming reviews are going to be taken up by the Star Wars movies but we still want you to send us your reviews of this weeks choice or even suggestions for future episodes streaming review on Hulu, Netflix or HBOgo.  We will happily bank these for after The Force Awakened has come out.
