Metal Geeks 270: The Order of Geekery

In this episode, Cary the Metal Geek and crew dive deep into a packed slate of metal and geekery. We kick things off with highlights and stories from ProgPower 2025, then pay heartfelt tributes to three legends we’ve recently lost: Robert Redford, Brent Hinds, and Tomas Lindberg. On the film and TV front, we unleash our thoughts on upcoming and cult-favorite projects, including Deathgasm 2, The Toxic Avenger, Nobody 2, Weapons, Peacemaker, Alien: Earth, The Long Walk, and Lego Voyagers. Along the way, we also discuss the phenomenon of Disney Adults and revisit the galaxy far, far away with Star Wars: Rebels. The gaming side of geekery levels up as we explore the new adventure Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: The Order of Giants, dive into the announcement of Borderlands 4, and slash our way through the cyber mayhem of Turbo Overkill. To wrap things up, George takes the mic for another round of George Hates Metal, with this episode’s metal targets being In Mourning and Urne. We also dive into discussions on a wide range of bands, including Green Carnation, Arjen Anthony Lucassen, Novembers Doom, Sanguisugabogg, Krigsgrav, Nailed to Obscurity, Helstar, Coroner, Hooded Menace, Gjallhorn’s Wrath, Revocation, Helloween, Amorphis, Baest, Between the Buried and Me, Der Weg einer Freiheit, and Falling Leaves. Packed with riffs, laughs, tributes, and geeky goodness, Episode 270 proves that wherever metal meets fandom, the Metal Geeks are there to preside over the Order of Geekery!
