Geek Out Loud

Steve and Kristin continue to celebrate Almost Famous by walking through not just the soundtrack, but every piece of rock or pop music played in the movie. It’s a fun time including a little dancing pumkin head man as we wrap up our celebration of 20 years of Almost Famous!

Kristin and Steve watch the 2000 Cameron Crowe film ALMOST FAMOUS, and they talk the whole time! So..you can either grab your copy and watch along or you can just listen and pretend you are watching. They cover everything from the vocals of Stillwater to the pronunciation of Frances McDormand. It’s Kristin’s favorite movie and one Steve has only recently […]

Steve opens the show with a discussion of the passing of Chadwick Boseman.  From there it's a very Incredible Hulk-centric episode as Steve discusses his current watch through of the old television show and moves from that into a look at the MCU Incredible Hulk Score by Craig Armstrong.  It's just a good old fashioned geek out on your safe place to geek out - THE GEEK OUT LOUD PODCAST!

Kristin and Steve dig up one of the best albums that nobody talks about – Def Leppard’s Slang. The two discuss the songs, the sound, the production, and the era in which the album was released. Long times ROL listeners know how the ROL duo feels about music from the 90’s. 90’s fans rejoice as Steve and Kristin celebrate a […]

Steve is joined by Scott Ryfun from My Star Wars Story and Shazbazzar from Techno Retro Dads to watch and discuss The Empire Strikes Back. Somewhere along the way Jimmy Mac from Rebel Force Radio got in on the action and suddenly it was a big Star Wars party. It's all Empire Strikes Back all the time on this episode of Geek Out Loud!!! We talk trading cards, story books, toys, and of course THE MOVIE that changed the face of the Star Wars saga for years to come! This is NOT a commentary per se, but we are watching the movie while we talk the wars so you may want to plug it in as well. We hope you enjoy this little celebration of 40 years of The Empire Strikes Back.

This time out we discuss the series finale of the Clone Wars (I'm sure we'll be discussing things for a long time to come.) Steve gets into some other snippets and geeky stuff, and then opens up the phone lines to some friends of the show including Dylan Newhouse, Roth in Wyoming, and ThunderCam Hopman of Big Honkin Show fame! it's an all out blitz featuring great movie moments in cinematic history and a Star Wars lesson by Dave Filoni. All this and more on your safe place to geek out!

Not a movie from the 90’s starring the Looney Toons and Michael Jordan, but an episode devoted to songs about space. In honor of May the 4th (the Star Wars pun day) and the 40th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back this week, Rock Out Loud brings you some of the best songs we know about space. Truthfully, Steve tried […]

Sooooo...Steve (that's me!) forgot to ever post this episode. It includes a great conversation with the great Dave Jones, many other callers discussing a wide variety topics ranging from The Mandalorian to reliving old times, and we wrap it all up with Derek Russell to cap off the show and the marathon in what seems to be shaping into a marathon tradition. Obviously, the time for giving has passed, and unfortunately we did not meet our goal this year, but we did raise over $3400 and we are thankful to everyone who participated in giving. We look forward to next year's marathon when we will hopefully meet and exceed our goal!

Kristin and Steve are back with a show put together just to have some fun and help you feel good. We hope this show will help put a smile on your face, a dance in your step, and maybe you can put these songs together and DJ your own party right where you are. We took suggestions from YOU for […]

Every now and then an idea morphs into something that could be either great or a mistake. This time out just such a thing happened. What began with the intention of a show focusing on Aerosmith led to a fun little piece of trivia connecting the band with Rock Out Loud favorite Bruce Springsteen. This revelation led to a shift […]

Kristin and Steve are back together for the marathon for CURE. It’s an epic sized Rock Out Loud as Steve and Kristin kick off the reunion with talk of all kinds of things. Then it’s the meat of the episode. With the recent news that My Chemical Romance is going on tour for the first time in years, it seemed […]

Disney Vault Talk returns for the GOLiverse marathon and Teresa and Steve pick up right where they left off as they discuss the Pixar film The Incredibles. It’s a lot of laughs, news from around Disney, catching up on what we’ve been watching on Disney Plus, and of course NO CAPES! It’s the most magical podcast on the internet…it’s Disney […]

Shazbazzar from Techno Retro Dads is in studio with Steve as the marathon to raise money for CURE Childhood Cancer rolls along. The guys discuss a lot of geeky stuff primarily The Mandalorian. Then, they get around to some toy talk and there's plenty of derailing in the middle of things. If you haven't donated yet, please consider donating at www.geekoutonline.com/cure to help us meet our goal of $5,000. You have until February 15, 2020 to help meet this year's goal and don't forget to e-mail [email protected] to let Steve know your address so you can receive a GOL Care Package as a way of saying thank you for donating!

Steve takes to the podcast to discuss the 6th annual GOLiverse Marathon for CURE. Along with that he makes a fun announcement about a returning champion to the marathon. Then it's off to the geek races talking Marvel Television on Disney Plus, Clone Wars, fandom, comics, the Crisis Crossover, Trading cards, the marathon, all kinds of stuff. Geek Out Loud is on Geek Out Loud is on Geek Out Loud is on OH MY LANTA!

Steve is joined in studio by his good friend Lucas Butler aka Lethargic Chewie. (To be fair, it should be noted that Steve gave that nickname before he actually KNEW Lucas and now knows that Lucas is anything BUT lethargic...sometimes nicknames just stick.) Also, "Thunder" Cam Hopman swings in to discuss some Mandalorian and Rise of Skywalker with the guys. They have to break in the middle to record a segment of the Big Honkin Show (Available now at http://patreon.com/geekoutloud) so to make the break more smooth, Steve drops in an episode of GOL on the road from mere days after his first viewing of The Rise of Skywalker. What's more stick around at the end of the show to hear Steve's discussion right after the movie with John Eddie Lowe, Monique Lowe, Chloe Lowe, Hayleigh Lowe, Mr. Ed Lowe, and Mrs. Glosson. The audio on the car segment and the coffee shop segment may not be the best, but it's all fun times. There will be much more Star Wars talk to come. For now, enjoy this discussion of a galaxy far, far away on your safe place to geek out!

Steve had the opportunity to join Scott Ryfun and Shazbazzar to talk over a movie. In this case, the Rise of Skywalker. The guys talk while the movie plays so you can take it with you and plug it into your ears while you watch or you can listen and get ready for your tenth viewing. This is the same commentary that was released on My Star Wars Story, so if you've heard it there, this is nothing new. We hope you enjoy it and have as much fun listening as we did recording.

Steve is joined by Teresa and Erich – the old Rebel Yell gang – to discuss chapter 1 of The Mandalorian on Disney+. Erich didn’t know Disney+ had any other content. Teresa took an emotional health day and watched 13 titles which subsequently broke her. Steve is happy to watch Star Wars. Somehow they put together a little reaction show. […]

The final trailer for the final ennumerated episode of the Star Wars saga has been released. While waiting for it, Steve decided to talk the music of Iron Man...then he is joined by Riley Blanton from The Star Wars Report as well as Scott Ryfun of My Star Wars Story. Dave Jones comes in to discuss Star Wars as sci fi then Brother from another mother Erich Schoeneweiss shows up to join the anticipation. Shazbazar joins the gang and it's on from there as the trailer hits and the speculation begins. Then, Steve is derailed by his own mistake, he tries and fails to invade Rebel Force radio and he takes listener calls. "ThunderCam" Hopman joins in as well as Roth in Wyoming. Some old friends stop by and Steve's wife makes a cameo. It really is a celebration as The GOLiverse not only celebrates new Star Wars, but also 250 episodes of Geek Out Loud!!! Five hours of silliness and fun so buckle up partner!

First of all, this episode was recorded way back in May of 2019. It never got posted because Steve is an idiot. So all of the news and stuff you hear will be pretty dated. Now then, Steve and Teresa get together to talk about Finding Nemo! One of the biggest of all of Pixar’s blockbusters, Finding Nemo takes us […]

Warning...a guest curses in this episode...Steve couldn't find it to bleep it out. Also...Steve doesn't like to edit...so it's Steve's fault...but still...he tried to find the word...he just couldn't. Now that THAT'S out of the way. This episode was recorded way back in February during the annual GOLiverse marathon. (Which was successful by the way! THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!) The first portion features YOUR calls. From there we are joined by Jimmy Mac of Rebel Force Radio and we round out the episode with a Pass the Corn with Erich and Adam as we discuss third movies in film franchises. All along the way we are joined by good friend of the show and co-host of Techno Retro Dads Shazbazzar!!!! Thanks to everyone who listened, called, and gave to CURE during this great day back in Febraury. It's a long one so settle in and get ready to listen all week long!

Not long after this discussion with Derek Russell, further news broke that Erica Durance would reprise her role as Lois from Smallville this season in the Crisis On Infinite Earths crossover event on The CW. So...don't expect us to talk about all that. What you CAN expect is for Steve to be joined by Derek Russell as the two discuss the news that Tom Welling will be reprising his role as Clark Kent in the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover even on The CW. The two take to true form as they discuss old bits, funny moments, and basically try to relive their glory days of trending on Twitter and not being old guys in a young persons world.

Steve is joined by Erich Schoeneweiss and Adam Bray to give their immediate reactions to all of the stuff that was announced for the new Disney Plus streaming service at D23. This was recorded in the moments following the D23 panel where these things were announced so there is no new trailer discussion or poster discussion concerning Star Wars or Marvel movies. The guys get genuinely pumped for The Mandalorian, Obi Wan and Marvel stuff...so...typical GOL. This episode is a precursor to a Patreon exclusive episode featuring the guys discussing GI Joe.

Toy Zen Master Michael Mercy stops by to geek out about all things 80's, discuss some news concerning everyone's favorite webhead, and just have a good time talking toys, collecting, and having the strength to let go. Check out Michael's YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/michaelmercy and you may discover yet another safe place to geek out. Thanks to Michael for stopping by and let us know what you think...Awesome or Stunning? It's Geek Out Loud.

Shazbazzar swings through Rome on his way home (it's a bit out of the way) to sit down and talk whatever crosses Steve's and his minds. Then they place a call to Big Honkin Show superstar Thunder Cam Hopman and end up discussing everything from Power Rangers to 90's cartoons and end up landing smack dab in the middle of a Spider-Man: Far From Home discussion. It's silly, it's fun, it's Geek Out Loud! Crank up the volume because GEEK OUT LOUD IS ON! GEEK OUT LOUD IS ON GEEK OUT LOUD IS ON! OH MY LANTA!

Yes, Episode 244 is missing from your feed, but it's on the way. We had to get this one out first as so many people stopped by to talk Avengers: Endgame. It starts with Chad Prime then from there it's Shazbazaar, Erich Schoeneweiss, Adam Bray, Scott Ryfun...I think Teresa showed up for a minute maybe? The point is it's a who's who of the GOLiverse talking about the ultimate Marvel Cinematic Experience. Spoilers abound and we gush over the whole thing. It's an Avengers love fest on your safe place to geek out!

Way back in February the GOLiverse held it’s fifth annual marathon for CURE Childhood Cancer. Disney Vault Talk was there! Vanessa Marshall stopped by to tackle some unanswered Disney questions as well as geek out a little over the things we all love. Then Sarah Woloski from Skywalking Through Neverland popped in to help tackle a few more questions. It’s […]

What began as a Patreon exclusive podcast quickly turned into a good old fashioned episode of Geek Out Loud as Steve is joined by Adam Bray and Erich and Schoeneweiss. The guys intend to discuss Young Justice for the Patreon folks, but end up discussing Avengers, Captain Marvel, Into the The Spider-Verse, Bumblebee and Aquaman. It's a total geek-fest as the guys just have a great time talking about the things we love on your safe place to geek out!

In this episode Steve gets into his thoughts on that Avengers: Endgame teaser that was released out of the blue.  From there he does some toy talk, some Spider-Man talk, some Bumblebee talk, and he makes a confession about learning to spell.   Then he bids farewell to Stan Lee.  It's a classic feel to a podcast classic.  It's your safe place to geek out!

Teresa and Steve are back! This time out they are discussing Monsters Inc.  What did they like? What didn’t they like? Can Teresa get through all the technical information? Has Teresa learned how to read large numbers? What really captured Steve’s imagination?  Who cried? Who didn’t? What about the music? It’s all here along with a couple of 60 second […]

Steve got a hair and fired up the mixlr late at night and started yammering on about four trailers that have been in the geek news lately.  Before he gets there though he jumps into the mailbag and fields your e-mails.  While doing that, he notices a comment in the chat that leads him to extol the virtues of one of the more divisive film franchises out there.  Then it's all celebration with the likes of Captain Marvel, Creed, Aquaman, and Bumblebee.  There's also some random singing.

Jimmy Mac and Steve are back to get The Led out! This time the guys put the needle down on the A side of Led Zeppelin III.  It starts with an in your face rocking track and then we begin to see a softer side of Zeppelin.  The guys have a blast and hope you do too as we celebrate […]

It’s all the fun and information you’d expect from Disney Vault Talk as the team breaks down Toy Story […]

Scott Ryfun has tricked Steve into podcasting with him.  The result? The guys pick a story arc from across Marvel Comics' vast library and break it down and discuss it.  This episode it's the death of Jean DeWolff from Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man issues 107 - 110.  The guys discuss why this story had impact, various cameos in the story, they take a Muppets diversion, and they even talk about the new trailer for Creed 2.  It's comic talk with two Marvel kids on your safe place to geek out!

Steve made a friend in real life!!! His name is Lucas and he stops by (in person) to talk about Solo: A Star Wars Story with Steve.  The guys discuss how they met, what they get up to when the mics aren't on, and of course they talk Solo.  Given Steve's take on The Last Jedi, you may be surprised at his reaction to Solo.  It's Star Wars talk with a new friend on your safe place to geek out!

Bruce Springsteen’s Darkness On The Edge of Town turns 40 this month, and of course Kristin and Steve are going to celebrate!  The pair break down the album song by song and though the message of many of the songs is somber, this doesn’t keep our duo from having some fun.  Get ready to go on a trip through a […]

Kristin has returned from travelling across the world.  Of course she’s seen some shows and done some things.  So she and Steve hang out, play some tunes, and talk about life in recent months.  They also talk about the trailer for Bohemian Rhapsody (the new Freddi Mercury/Queen biopic to be released in November) which leads into discussions about other biopics, […]

Thanos demands you listen! Erich joins Steve to discuss the culmination of ten years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.  The guys gush over Avengers: Infinity War, and as a bonus discuss the new Celine Dion song that was written and performed for the Deadpool 2 soundtrack.  It's a fun episode full of Marvel movies and comics goodness.  In Steve's mind this is just a part one, as we know YOU have a lot to say about this movie...so get ready for a future Infinity War call in episode.

Steve and Teresa are joined by Riley.  None of the three seem to be able to say words properly.  They power through though to discuss Pixar’s second feature film, A Bug’s Life.  Included in the discussion is a comparison to Antz, more about Pixar’s place in film history, the short film Geri’s Game, and the fact that they are all […]

Steve was feeling froggy late one night so he fired up mixlr, fired up the recorder, took some calls and talked Black Panther a little bit.  Also included are your e-mails, some singing, a Patreon update/apology, and the general fun we all have in our safe place to geek out!

The fun and magic of Disney Vault Talk is back as we enter into a new era […]

Steve sits down to do something that's been on his mind for a while and ends up droning on and on about it.  It's the "How did we get here?" of superhero movies.  From the 1920's Zorro to The Marvel Cinematic Universe, Steve reads a list and examines how we got to where we are now with the state of superhero movies. Then, he examines a thread from the Guardians of the GOLiverse Facebook group.  It's a long one so be make sure you're comfortable.

Shazbazzar is in on the marathon as he and Steve take part in the first discussion of The Last Jedi on Geek Out Loud.  The guys are very honest about what they like and dislike about the movie and have some fun as they talk The Wars.  The point to take away is we still have a ways to go before we hit our goal for CURE so head over to geekoutonline.com/cure and give what you can between now and January 31st to help meet this year's goal.
