by Pat B
We're nerds and blerds who love a good geek out. Whatever you're into -- comics, games, films, fashion, toys, tech, AI, WWE, ASMR, BDSM, burlesque, steampunk, cyberpunk, futurism, etc -- we probably are too and we've got content about it!

Geek Down - Bad Boys Ride or Die, Wild Bastards, Atlas
Will Smith and Martin Lawrence slide back in Bad Boys Ride or Die, and the chemistry remains undeniable even when the plot runs on fumes. Then we locking into Wild Bastards, a slick outlaw strategy shooter that mixes tactical chaos with pure swagger. And Jennifer Lopez headlines Atlas, a sci-fi mech flick that swings big but lands somewhere between messy and mildly entertaining. The verdicts are in and the banter is unfiltered.

Geek Down - Dune Pt. 2, Masters of the Universe Revolution, Drive-Away Dolls
We finally riding that sandworm with Dune Pt. 2, and Denis Villeneuve delivered a cinematic masterwork that demands you pull it out that popcorn bucket and pay attention. Then we flipping to Eternia for Masters of the Universe Revolution, where the animation goes hard and the nostalgia hits different. And we closing out with Drive-Away Dolls, the raunchy lesbian road trip comedy that Ethan Coen cooked up, and Margaret Qualley's accent alone is a whole vibe. The reviews are locked and fully loaded.

Geek Down - Fallout, Wicked Little Letters, Hundreds of Beavers
We’re breaking down this foul-mouthed period piece Wicked Little Letters -- some 1920s cussing with Olivia Colman is the unhinged energy we didn’t know we needed. Then we stepping into the wasteland for Fallout, where Walton Goggins steals the show. And we cap it off with the genius of Hundreds of Beavers, a silent fever dream that has NO BUSINESS being as hilarious as it is. Tap in.

Geek Down - Gladiator 2, Slime 3k, Rumours
We caught that Gladiator 2 disaster, and the whole crew agrees it’s a soulless cash grab that Russell Crowe’s ghost should haunt. Then we plugging into the madness of Slime 3k, a ridiculous rogue-lite that understands the assignment for straight-up, no-thoughts chaos. Also stepping to Rumours, that political satire where Cate Blanchett plays a world leader getting freaky with an ancient bog brain, and the absurdity actually hits. These verdicts are locked and fully loaded.

Geek Down - The Monkey, Demon City, The Pedestrian
The crew pulls up ready to hand out praise and punishment in equal measure. The Monkey gets dragged for wasting a solid Stephen King premise on cheap scares, weak execution, and the kind of lazy horror that insults the audience. The Pedestrian earns its spotlight as a quirky, offbeat comic with weird vibes and an even weirder hero. Demon City brings the heat with relentless, bone-crunching action, brutal fight choreography, and a body count that never lets up. Sharp takes and zero sugarcoating all the way through.
-

Geek Down - The Electric State, Deli Boys, Borderline
The crew is coming in hot with sharp takes and zero sugarcoating. The Electric State gets broken down for its retro-future spectacle, wrecked-world visuals, and big sci-fi swings across a broken America. May as well be a documentary. Deli Boys brings family chaos, criminal mess, and fast-talking comedy as two spoiled brothers get dragged into a life they were never built for. Borderline closes it out with dark tension, unstable energy, and thriller madness that keeps every scene on edge. Expect bold opinions, quick laughs, and no polite lies.
-
16
Geek Down - Novocaine, The Z-Suite, Looney Tunes Day the Earth Blew Up
Novocaine hits a nerve with wild energy and a lead dude who literally throws himself into chaos. The Z-Suite gets handled next, with corporate mess, ego trips, and Gen Z workplace drama. Looney Tunes Day the Earth Blew Up brings back classic slapstick chaos with a sci-fi twist.
-
15
Geek Down - Deep Cover, Hornsby & Halo, Kpop Demon Hunters
Deep Cover gets broken down for its improv-comedy-meets-crime premise, and a cast more committed to the bit than Christian Bale. Hornsby & Halo carries a heaven-versus-hell energy, doing a full "Freaky Friday" swap with a demon and an angel. KPop Demon Hunters steals the spotlight with vibrant animation, infectious music, and that danged Tiger! . . . IYKYK
-

Geek Down - The Witcher, Ip Man 4, Overdrive 2
We put respect on Ip Man 4 for closing out Donnie Yen's legacy with martial arts precision and real emotional weight. The Witcher gets broken down for its monster-slaying spectacle, Henry Cavill's charisma, and the fantasy chaos keeping the culture talking. Overdrive 2 rounds it out with slick cyber-ninja combat and fast-paced hack-and-slash action! Hack-tion? Hashl-yun? . . . F it, you'll figure it out!

Geek Down - The Witches, Scare Me, GTFO, 12 Reasons to Die
The crew comes through with raw takes and no filler this episode. The Witches gets handled for its creepy family-fantasy energy, wild visuals, and big Anne Hathaway performance. 12 Reasons to Die brings gritty comic-book crime, revenge, and Ghostface Killah-inspired horror with a hard street-opera edge. GTFO on Steam delivers brutal co-op survival where teamwork, stealth, and panic carry every mission. Scare Me closes it out with sharp horror-comedy tension built on storytelling, ego, and two people trying to out-frighten each other.
-
12
Geek Down - Transformers War for Cybertron, Vast of Night
The crew is back with sharp takes and no filter. The Vast of Night gets its flowers as a low-budget sci-fi masterclass, using slick long takes, period-perfect atmosphere, and two unknowns who absolutely carry the whole mystery on pure dialogue alone. Transformers: War for Cybertron gets broken down as the dark, brutal take on the Autobot-Decepticon civil war that longtime fans have been begging for, with sleek animation and a story that finally treats the lore with the weight it deserves.
-
11
Geek Down - Truth Seekers, Finger Guns, & Tremors Shrieker Island
The squad comes through with straight takes and zero cap this round. Tremors: Shrieker Island is the best direct to video sequel this franchise has put out in twenty years, with Michael Gross back as Burt Gummer. Like bruh... WHY?? (to Burt, not Michael. A check is a check, we get it.) Truth Seekers is the quietest, driest, most charming horror comedy of its year, and it got absolutely done dirty by its early cancellation. Finger Guns is the exact kind of small press comic that flies under the radar, a silly high concept that hides shockingly sharp, honest writing about being a messed up teenager.
-
10
Geek Down - Vampires vs. The Bronx, Impossible Space, Neighbors Back From Hell, Hoops
We break down Vampires vs. The Bronx, which flips horror comedy by centering Bronx kids in a fight keeping the block safe from bloodsuckers. Then the chaos of Hoops, where a foul-mouthed coach makes ALL the bad decisions. The conversation turns petty with Neighbors Back From Hell, a game that makes ruining a neighbor's life a high art form. We cap it off with Impossible Space: A Space Hero, a mobile shooter that packs tight alien-blasting action into every session.

Geek Down - Sonic 2, Human Resources, Fantastic Beasts 3, Thermae Romae Novae
We are kicking things off with Sonic the Hedgehog 2, which gets its proper recognition for leveling up the franchise with bigger action, the long-awaited arrival of Tails and Knuckles, and giving Jim Carrey the space to be Jim Carrey. We dive deep into the chaotic, hormonal madness of Human Resources, dissecting how this spin-off doubles down on the crude, unfiltered humor that the Big Mouth universe is famous for. Then we pivot to the absolute fever dream that is Thermae Romae Novae, breaking down why this bizarre journey through Roman bath history and time travel is one of the most unique things streaming right now. We close the session by addressing the elephant in the room with Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, putting on blast the messy storytelling and the undeniable fact that this franchise has completely lost its spark.

Geek Down - TMNT Mutant Mayhem, Blue Beetle, Captain Fall
The crew comes through this week with flowers for some and smoke for others. We start by celebrating TMNT: Mutant Mayhem, a reboot that gets it right with scribbly, street-art animation, a soundtrack full of certified classics, and turtles who actually talk, joke, and panic like real bought eucharist. Then we take out the trash with Netflix's Captain Fall, an animated disaster pure and simple, with flat jokes, lazy writing, and episodes that feel three times longer than they actually are. We end on a high note with Blue Beetle, putting respect on how Jaime Reyes, his loud and lovable family, and that alien scarab tech bring genuine heart,
-

Geek Down - Uncharted, Patriotika, Tinykin, Fist Full of Vengeance
The squad is cracking open a treasure chest and dragging Tom Holland’s Uncharted into the spotlight. Then Patriotika lands on the table with ALL the unapologetic, larger-than-life heroine energy. It's a lot of dommy-mommy mythology to cram into one comic. We also get microscopic with the Pikmin-inspired Tinykin, proving once and for all whether or not size does matter! Finally, the Wu Assassins crew returns with Fist Full of Vengeance: swan-song to the series, or a sucker punch? We'll get into it
-

Geek Down - Woman King, Spiderheck, See how They Run, Bee and Puppycat
This week it's weird little adventures returning big feelings. The Woman King stands tall on the big screen, and we speak on the fisticuffs. Bee and Puppycat are celebrating that lo-fi, pastel fever dream as the beautifully lazy chaos ramps up. Then... did someone say burn it to the ground? Spiderheck shows a little love to our 8-legged freaks/friends. And "See How They Run" tries to keep the mystery alive, but we're exposing the real tea on this whodunit.
-

Geek Down - The Boys Diabolical, Big Gold Brick, The Pirates Last Treasure, Happy's Humble Burger Farm
The conversation is about to get unruly. Big Gold Brick gets put on blast for its weird energy and abject refusal to make sense. We calling out The Boys: Diabolical for taking the animated format and drowning it in bloodshed. We putting respect on the name of The Pirates: Last Treasure for prioritizing fun and spectacle over logic. And we step into the nightmare of Happy's Humble Burger Farm to explain how this game perfectly captures the trauma of service work (give or take some zombies).

Geek Down - Ms. Marvel, Stranger Things Summer Special
We’re deep-diving into Ms. Marvel to see if Jersey City’s newest hero is really holding it down for these streets. Then to the Stranger Things Summer Special comic trade to see if Hawkins on paper still keeps that magic in the panels. And not just the superficial; we’re looking at the representation, the storytelling, and if these franchises are actually staying true to the fans.

3
Geek Down - Godzilla Vs. Kong, Bad Kids Press, MLP-Transformers, Mr.Ninja Slicey Puzzles
We're throwing hands over some kaiju carnage, mobile addiction, and the wildest crossover on the shelves (toy aisle, let's keep it 100%). What will it take in the film Godzilla vs. Kong to finally settle it: date night or couples therapy? Then the mobile game Mr. Ninja Slicey Puzzles is a blade-happy brain teaser and the kind of game you play while missing your stop on the train. The crew then dives into My Little Pony/Transformers: Friendship in Disguise! with zero shame, because the mashup is real -- they mixed Cybertronian metal with Equestrian magic, the vibe is ridiculous, and we respect the commitment to the bit. And it all caps off with an interview with Bad Kids Press, talking indie comics, building a label from the ground up, and moving like the culture doesn’t need permission to win.

Geek Down - White Men Can't Jump, Mrs. Davis, Fast X
We're talking the remake of White Men Can't Jump and the crew ain't coming to play nice this time, you might wanna take your ball and go home. Then we're strapping in for Fast X because at this point the laws of physics is just a vague suggestion. Seriously, how many crimes against gravity can one franchise commit? And finally, we're confessing our sins over Peacock's Mrs. Davis — yes, the one with a sexy Jesus — to debate whether letting AI and the robots take over might not be such a bad thing, considering . . .

Geek Down - Lupin, Agent Revelation, Billionaire Island, Batman Soul of the Dragon
We're jumping from satire to sci-fi to psychedelic style — first, we’re docking at Billionaire Island to see if eating the rich tastes as good as advertised. Bring your hot sauce and your lime juice. Then we’re breaking down the alien-tech sci-fi spy flick Agent Revelation -- is the revelation a hidden gem or just a budget blackout. The chaos deepens with Batman: Soul of the Dragon, with grindhouse vibes and 70s kung-fu. And we’re closing it out with the slick French phenomenon Lupin on Netflix, where Assane Diop’s gentleman thief flex has us thinking about career change.

Geek Down - Mountainhead, Nobodies Murder Cleaner, and The Hardy Boys [pt.2]
Tap in for a wild mix of mystery, mayhem, and mess! First, we’re cracking open Mountainhead to see if this comic brings real survival tension and raw family drama, or if it gets lost somewhere in the woods with no signal. Then we’re getting our hands dirty with the mobile game Nobodies: Murder Cleaner, where the real challenge is figuring out why cleaning up crime scenes is so cathartic. And finally, we’re diving into part 2 of The Hardy Boys to find out whether the mystery actually pays off and these young detectives are really built for this — or if they just need to call someone with a badge and STFU.
-

Geek Down - Superintelligence, Belle Targeted Prey, The Hardy Boys [pt.1]
We're breaking down Superintelligence to see if the AI has more common sense than half the people in our timeline, then flipping through Belle Targeted Prey to debate whether this comic delivers the action, revenge, and twisted fairy-tale energy we know and love. And for those who think they've outgrown mystery-solving, we're diving into part 1 of The Hardy Boys to see if it's a worthwhile reboot or if these fools should've stayed in the past.

Geek Down - Barb & Star, Alice in Borderland, A Man Among Ye, Grand Theft Horse
The crew is back to drag everything you love through the mud, starting with Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar to see if those matching day-glo rompers really are just bingo-hall lingerie. . Then we're hoisting the Jolly Roger for A Man Among Ye, debating whether those pirates know how to handle their swords as well as advertised, or if their swash has no buckle. Next we're swapping cutlasses for stirrups in Rustler (Grand Theft Horse) to see if medieval crime pays better than your day job, and finally, we're playing card games for keeps in Alice in Borderland to figure out who'd snap first under pressure. Spoiler: all of us. SUPER dead.
-
-3
Geek Down - Renfield, Quasi, Get to the Orange Door
This week, the laughs are biting back as the crew cracks open Renfield to see if Nicolas Cage as Dracula is a bloody masterpiece or just a bloody mess. Then it’s Quasi getting the full roast treatment -- does this medieval hunchback comedy from the Super Troopers crew carry that cult classic swag, or is it just limping behind the times? We discuss. And finally, we're diving into Get to the Orange Door, a neon horror-parkour shooter game that'll have you questioning your life choices.
-
-4
Geek Down - The Continental, Mortal Kombat Cage Match, Zombietown
This week, we're stepping into The Pit to break down Mortal Kombat Cage Match to see if solo Johnny Cage a champ or a chump, then surviving Zombietown—where the matinee is scarier than the zombies—and checking into The Continental, where the assassins have better manners than the TSA (though just as likely to grab your crotch).
-
-5
Geek Down - Meg 2, Kizazi Moto, Justice League Warworld
On this next episode, we’re taking a three-stop trip through chaos: first up is The Meg 2, where the we ask, “How many ways can one ignore physics?” and somehow keeps a straight face. Then we jump into Justice League: Warworld for DC’s animated pulpy, genre-hopping elseworlds setup, and see if it actually pays off. And we close out with Kizazi Moto, the animated anthology spotlighting futuristic African stories
-
-6
Geek Down - Haunted Mansion, Twisted Metal, Big Nunu's Little Heist
We're talking Big Nunu’s Little Heist, where you learn you just don't mess with a mans stove! Then we visit Disney's Haunted Mansion, where ghosts, grief, gags, and ghouls take a backseat to stunt casting. And finally, Twisted Metal takes us on a post-apocalyptic joyride with Falcon at the wheel and a killer clown in the rearview.
-

Geek Down - Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3, Sisu, Farzi
This week, we're stacking three very different vibes and seeing which ones hold weight. First, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 — no typical Marvel hype here, just James Gunn doing what he do with the Guardians crew. Then we're getting into Sisu, a Finnish war film following a gold prospector who simply refuses to die. And finally, we're checking out Farzi, the Indian crime series about counterfeit cash and the people chasing it
-
-8
Geek Down - Gran Turismo, Texas Chainsaw Massacre the game, Vacation Friends 2
This week, we're taking three very different roads and seeing where they lead. First up, Gran Turismo — the true(ish) story about a gamer who actually became a professional race car driver. Then we check into Vacation Friends 2, reuniting Marcus, Emily, Ron and Kyla, this time trading the resort for a wedding that goes exactly sideways. And finally, we're diving into the Texas Chainsaw Massacre multiplayer game — are you running for your life or carving up some teens, family style?
-
-9
Geek Down - Dungeons & Dragons, Tetris, Agent Elvis
First up we deep-dive on Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves — no dice jokes or punchy puns, just Chris Pine in a heist movie that actually respects its source material. We're just as surprised as you are! Then we unpack Tetris, the video game origin story that's less about puzzles and more about Soviet bureaucracy/conspiracy/shenanigans. Finally, Agent Elvis gets the treatment — Matthew McConaughey voices "The King," a chain-smoking, government-recruited version of Elvis that's both absurd and strangely true-to-life (IYKYK).

Geek Down - Creed III, The Consultant, Cocaine Bear
The crew is coming in swinging this episode, with low blows and ear bites! Starting with Creed III to talk about Michael B. Jordan’s knockout directorial debut, the tension between brotherhood and betrayal, and why sometimes you've gotta let the homie from the hood stay his ass back there. Then things get weird with Cocaine Bear, because a drug-fueled bear tearing through the woods might be the most ridiculous movie premise ever — and glorious. And just when you thought it was safe to sneak a pee in the executive washroom, we clock in for The Consultant, the creepy workplace thriller that’ll make you side-eye your boss, every weird company email, those BS synergy meetings, company retreats with trust-falls, and that stack of TPS reports you’ve been resting your feet on!
-
-11
Geek Down - Babylon, Chainsaw Man, I Wanna Dance with Somebody
Zero filters on this one! We’re starting off with all the feels, breaking down I Wanna Dance with Somebody and debating if the movie did the legend Whitney Houston justice, or did the legend Whitney Houston dirty. Then, we’re diving into the beautiful trainwreck of Babylon—we gotta talk about Margot Robbie and that Hollywood party, y'all... excess, ambition, some sort of cuck situation... and that's just the opening credits! To top it all off, we’re getting bloody with Chainsaw Man— the anime that somehow mixed demons, gore, heartbreak, and a celibate meet-cute into something that works. We got that tea in a blood-stained cup and we're spilling!
-
-12
Geek Down - Thunder Force, Morbid The 7 Acolytes, Wicked Things, Godstrike
We’re dissecting Thunder Force—trying to figure out if this superhero mess was comedy gold or just McCarthy and Spencer cashing a check. Then we’re switching lanes to the dark side with Morbid: The 7 Acolytes, to see how that gothic horror energy hits (spoiler: it hits hard. Seriously, the s*** felt personal at times 😵) We’re also diving into the pages of Wicked Things to see if 19-year-old detective Lottie Grote really got the mystery-solving juice. To wrap it all up, we’re getting into the combat of Godstrike and debating who’s really the boss
-
-13
Geek Down - Masters of the Universe, Kung Fu, Snake Eyes, Fear Street Pt 3
We’re kicking things off by checking the pulse on Masters of the Universe, trying to figure out if that 2021 vision was pure nostalgia or just a total trip. Then, we’re pivoting to the martial arts drama of Kung Fu to see if the action actually hit or if it was just a lot of noise. We’re also stepping into the line of fire with Snake Eyes to see if the G.I. Joe spin-off had enough kick to be kickass... or if it was just ass. Finally, the Netflix slasher Fear Street 1966—we're talking witches, curses, and why you shouldn't touch random funguses.

-14
Geek Down - Zack Snyder's Justice League and Undermine
The crew is coming in hot this episode, breaking down the four-hour superhero marathon that is Zack Snyder’s Justice League — from the slow-motion flexing and black-suit Superman to whether Darkseid actually delivered or just stood around looking stressed. Then we’re taking it underground with UnderMine, the roguelike dungeon crawler where every run feels like payday and punishment at the same time. Expect big laughs, hot takes, cold disses, luke-warm energy, gamer frustration, and at least one argument about Snyder's patented slow-mo bad-touch.
-
-15
Geek Down - Wonder Woman 1984 and Soul
We’re diving into Pixar’s Soul, breaking down whether that was a beautiful masterpiece about life and purpose or lowkey the most depressing kids movie ever made. Then we’re turning the heat up on Wonder Woman 1984, because the group is split — some calling it a fun ’80s vibe, while others say they fumbled the bag with that wild plot and cheesy dialogue.
-
-16
Geek Down - WandaVision, Coming 2 America, Disaster, Inc
We're diving deep into the mind-bending chaos of WandaVision, and we've gotta settle the debate: is Wanda a grieving queen or has she completely lost the plot? Then, we’re heading back to Zamunda for Coming 2 America to see if the royal return actually hit the mark or did Eddie and Arsenio ruin a classic for a check. And we’re rounding it all out with the absolute mayhem of the comic Disaster, Inc... cats making money off nuclear tourism—the hustle is real.

Geek Down - Willy's Wonderland, Afterlift, The Swordsman, Everhood
In this week's wild ride of an episode, we're diving into the deranged world of Willy's Wonderland—where Nic Cage fights possessed animatronics with zero dialogue and max chaos—before shifting gears to the neon-drenched, afterlife road trip of Afterlift, a graphic novel that's equal parts existential dread and cosmic comedy. Then we're time-traveling to 17th century Korea with The Swordsman, a martial arts epic that's as beautiful as it is brutal, before wrapping with the surreal, rhythm-infused Everhood, a game that's like if Undertale got into that SHIT! ...then cranked a dope soundtrack. Expect tangents, questionable life choices, and some Nic Cage glazing. Buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy, hilarious ride.
