Guardians of the Geekery Episode 5

Things to Note:

Graham Odom and Field Cantey are also members of the Robot Johnson family. We are not sure why Tania hates Graham so much – you should ask her – but be prepared to help her out on the Facebook game Kitchen Scramble because she is evidently addicted.
Timothy Omundson was on Psych, Judging Amy, and the 2001 TV Movie The Luck of the Irish. (see a video of him in the trailer below)
Robin Lord Taylor plays Oswald Cobblepot (aka The Penguin) on Gotham.
For the record, we do not believe that the “main guy” in Age of Ultron is mad because he is voiced by James Spader, no matter what Tania says.
Edward James Olmos joins the cast of Agents of SHIELD as Robert Gonzales. Robert Gonzales is not a known character from the MCU (Marvel Comic Universe) so we aren’t sure yet what role he may play.
In case you missed it previously, Carol the Cat hates the Elvis song “Blue Christmas.”
The management does not acknowledge that we actually have sleeper agents that will attack people like Bernie Gunder who do not listen to our podcast.
It is NOT Starneslord’s last show. No matter what he may say.

Videos To Prove Things!
