Metal Geeks 278: The Burden of Geekery

This week on Metal Geeks, we kick things off with some heavy headlines—paying tribute to Catherine O’Hara and James Van Der Beek, talking a quick plunge into the madness of 70,000 Tons of Metal, reacting to Josh D’Amaro stepping in as Disney’s new CEO, and pouring one out for the last Houston-area Alamo Drafthouse closures. From there, we dive into what we’ve been watching—from Roofman and Caught Stealing to The Muppet Show and The ’Burbs. George loads up GT with The Rip, Fackham Hall, Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and The Pitt, while we break down the Mandalorian and Grogu “Superb Owl” spot, Marvel’s Wonder Man, and the game Romeo Is A Dead Man. And of course, George Hates Metal returns with Marianas Rest’s Burden bringing the emotional devastation. Heavy riffs, geek debates, and absolute chaos—just the way we like it. 🤘 Stay updated on all our geekery by visiting our website at metalgeekspodcast.com or metalgeeks.net. Have opinions or ideas?
