Rogue Episode 6! Carol the Cat, the Giddygeeker and Tiffles Tennebaum went to Stephen Seay Productions’ presentation of Killing Women on Wednesday and had a murderous fun! After the show, they caught up with three of the actors (and our friends from Robot Johnson) Luci Wilson, Field Cantey and Mathew Schantz and chatted a few minutes about their amazing performance.

Killing Women is playing now through July 23, 2016 at Upstage in NoDa. For tickets, click here.

Geek Gala, Hannibal, UpStage

Episode 34! World-renowned magician Hannibal stopped by Geek Gala HQ and shockingly did not do one card trick while he was there (unless you include picking his cards for the Rapid Fire Response Round). Hannibal performed at last year’s Geek Gala and is now going to be on stage on Friday, September 11th at UpStage in NoDa. It is a show not to be missed!

Hannibal was born and reared in Charlotte. He is gifted with four amazing, geeky children. Hannibal is a magic dude, and travels the world doing card tricks. He literally sucks at writing bios.

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.
