Geeks Unleashed

Episode 193 - Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) Review

Over the MAJOR climax point and into a new phase we go with Thor: Love and Thunder! This movie received a lot of hate when it was first released... But was it warranted? The original audience and critical reception was enough to keep Jasmin out of theaters -- so this was her first watch, and Mark's only rewatch of this film.

1:36 - Mark met another GUer in person who used to write for the Geeks Unleashed website!
3:51 - Geek of the Week - Jasmin - Waco: American Apocalypse and Oklahoma City Bombing: American Terror (both on Netflix); Mark - Zero Dark Thirty; Ad Astra; La La Land; Us; and Midsommar

Episode 192 - Avengers: End Game (2019) Review

10 years and 22 feature films have brought us to this moment. Avengers End Game is the culmination of a collective fandom! Pulling in a worldwide box office of over $2.7 Billion dollars, this film is the second highest grossing film of all time. As fans of the MCU, we truly felt like 10 years of fandom received a massive payoff by way of this movie. Emotional, funny, thought provoking, and let's not forget action packed -- Avengers End Game does NOT disappoint.

Episode 190 - Thor: Ragnarok (2017) Review

Talk about a tonal shift! This third entry into the Thor franchise is not even in the same universe as the previous two films. It's bright, with an epic soundtrack, and Chris Hemsworth being used to great effect for his comedic timing! What do you think of this shift for Thor?

Episode 189 - Captain America: Civil War (2016) Review

It's getting real! We're getting closer and closer to the end of our big guns run here with the film that breaks up the family. By the way, whose side are you on? Let us know if you're Team Cap (anti-accords) or Team Stark (pro hero registration). Captain America: Civil War feels even more appropriate in this 2025 political climate.

Episode 187 - Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. S1 and Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) Review

A longer episode, but we touch on just how connected season 1 of AOS is to Winter Soldier. Really great to see both arms of the MCU speaking the same language! It was Jasmin's first time to watch and of the episodes. But you'll have to listen in if you want to see whether or not the Geeks opinions on this film have changed in 11 years!

Episode 186 - Thor: The Dark World (2013) Review

OK, this is getting troublesome. While this movie is still not great, it wasn't as bad as we remembered. Why does this keep happening to the Geeks? Are we caught in some kind of alternate reality as we rewatch the big guns of the MCU?


TRACKLIST:
1:43 - Geek of the Week - Mark: Absolute Flash; Jasmin: Mass Effect 3 (12 year anniversary of 3rd game)
10:54 - Film summary and fun facts
