Guardians of the Geekery Episode 7

Things to Note:

Lana was the best guest dog ever! And yes, she is named after Archer.
Tania, Brandon and Graham are all members of Robot Johnson also (RoJo).
We don’t actually have a special call-in portion, but Field was scared we would have because Graham Odom likes to torture him.
Fab Movran is the member of Milli Vanilli that is still alive. Rob Pilatus passed away in 1998.
“That British Guy” on Hannibal and husband of Claire Danes is Hugh Dancy. He plays Will Graham on Hannibal.
We are NOT posting the sad scene from Homeland that Field Cantey suggested. We are not that mean.
Carol the Cat is actually the program director for ConCarolinas, if you didn’t know.
Randall Park played President Kim in The Interview.
Idris Elba will be Heimdall in Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Giddygeeker loves Melissa McCarthy and would happily be compared to her. Mostly.
Mat Schantz is actually a lawyer, not just a member of a sketch comedy group – hence why he is glad John Cleese was almost a barrister.
Sean Keenan – Field evidently wants to hug you. You have been warned.

Guardians of the Geekery Episode 6

Things to Note:

Giddygeeker really does have a problem with words – someone get her some Catnip Tea!
We don’t know what Geek Ho’s are, but according to Rule 34 – not only do they exist, they are probably in porn.
James Franco’s Documentary on SNL is on Hulu (click here)
The 3 advance screenings are posted on The Charlotte Geeks Facebook page, not The Charlotte Geeks website – sorry!
We apologize to our fans in Gastonia, we do think you are people!
The Latin Hobbit that Carol the Cat keeps talking about is for sale at Park Road Books if you are interested!
Carol the Cat did not provide the Giddygeeker with her preferred website for Netflix comings & goings, but if you google it – a ton of websites pop up.
