Supergirl

Candice Cortinas and Zaq Rogers from Robot Johnson Sketch Comedy Group joins us this week. Both Candice and Zaq have been with RoJo since the very beginning (Halloween 2007). It’s not often you see Candice onstage, but her presence is felt everywhere. And you haven’t lived until you’ve seen Zaq sporting some knee on the main stage. Then again, we just love comedy and the fact that they will be performing at this year’s Geek Gala! Robot Johnson’s next show is April 3rd at Upstage. To find out more about Robot Johnson, visit www.robotjohnson.com.

This episode, we attempt to discuss the following:

SNL Sketch: Thor in Victory Dance (see below – plus the “Charlie Bit My Finger” video)
The Latest Walking Dead episode
Agents of SHIELD Returns!
Alan Tudyk’s Indiegogo for Con Man

Movies better than 50 Shades of Gray (which Giddygeeker is NOT obsessed with)
What everyone is reading (aka – does anyone F*ck N Read anymore?)

Guardians of the Geekery Episode 13

Things to Note:

We are sorry about the skips in the Rapid Fire Response Round – we aren’t sure what’s going on. We blame the fact that this is the 13th episode.
There is a game called Squirrel Hunt that is addicting – but Candice didn’t know it existed.
We really are ready to host Con Man at the Geek Gala if they are interested. Really! Have their people call our people.
Superman III was the movie featuring Richard Pryor where Superman turns evil
We looked it up and are surprised to say, there IS a new Knight Rider movie coming out! First there was the Knight Rider series in 1983, then there was Knight Rider 2000 in 1991, then there was a new Knight Rider series in 2008, and now IMDB is showing a Knight Rider 2016 – which turns out to be a comedy short which we have linked below!
My apologies to Melissa McCarthy for calling her Melissa McCartney. Brain damage!
Zaq thinks our kitchen lights look like boobs – to see if you agree, check below.
I tried to embed the video of David Blaine at Harrison Ford’s house – but embedding was disabled. But you can see it here.
Since our recording of this episode, we have found out that the producers of The ABCs of Death have started a crowdfunding campaign for the substitute teacher’s appeal.
If you would like to see the scene from Valmont with Fairuza Balk – click here and turn the age restriction off.
There are no transcripts of Guardians of the Geekery – don’t ask for it!!
Joey does not have a link for the bad writer from Onyx and the Penthouse story from Starneslord better not exist.
We are sorry we cut Zaq off as he went on a spiel about how to say goodbye. Goodbye, Zaq!

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 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.
