Movie Buff and all around Dubious Dude Danny Seavers joins us this week to help us recap our thoughts on the Oscars. You can’t find out more about Danny – he is a mystery wrapped in an enigma wrapped in bacon. So there.

This episode, we attempt to discuss the following:

The Oscars. Didn’t we already say that up there?
(By the way, call you parents or the people you love. JK Simmons said to. )

Guardians of the Geekery Episode 11

Things to Note:

Our apologies for the delay in posting this. Giddygeeker blames ISIS. Not the Greek Goddess.
Tiffany did indeed wait for Guardians of the Geekery Technical Services. Then again, she was the only nominee. Even though she thought the Oscars were blah.
Danny really is a health professional – he’s got a pharmaceutical PhD!
Carol has mad movie trivia skills. She says it is because she has no life.
Giddygeeker called the host Lara Johnson, she is actually Lara Spencer. Sorry!
Why does everyone keep asking Giddygeeker to stop singing? She sings because she is happy! And types about herself in the third person!
Misty Upham was the actress who costarred with Meryl Streep in August: Osage County.
Joan Rivers died in September 2014 and should have been included in the In Memoriam section in our opinion.
The horror film Feast was released in 2005. The Disney short Feast was released in 2014.
Jaden Smith won the Razzie this year for worst actor, not Kirk Cameron.
I don’t wish ill will on William Shatner. And we are really sad that Leonard Nimoy did not recover.
Charlie Hunnam was the actor from Sons of Anarchy that was supposedly originally going to play Christian Grey.

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.
