Episode 176 - WandaVision (2021) Series Review

We're keeping it witchy/wizardy as we move from Doctor Strange to WandaVision! Do you remember how talked about this series was when it dropped in 2021? Nerds were suffering from a content drought due to a global pandemic, and this was the first piece of MCU content we'd received in over a year! But how does it hold up now that we've had three years of other Marvel stories? You've got to listen to find out what the Geeks think!

And we're finally (maybe??) closing out our Skrulls arc! We wrap it up with The Marvels! The fanbros really did what they could to kill our chances of seeing these three together on screen again.

Episode 171 - Captain Marvel (2019) Review

It's time to jump into our Skrulls MCU run! We kick it off with Captain Marvel -- which we both agreed that this film got a bunch of hate it absolutely did NOT deserve. Before we get into the film review, the Geeks both talked about falling down the true crime rabbit hole on Netflix. So let's go higher, further, faster by giving this episode a listen!

Episode 170 - Sweet Tooth Season 3 Review

After an extended hiatus, your Geeks have returned!! Where were we? Totally unbeknownst to us, we both went on cruises! Mark went to France and Jasmin, like the characters in Sweet Tooth, made her way up to Alaska! Don't worry, she didn't see any Hybrids, nor does she have The Sick. ;) But we are back to wrap up this series that we began covering back in 2021! 

We first dove into the world of Sweet Tooth with the first volume of the original graphic novel by Jeff Lemire. Check out episode 53 if you need a refresher. Then we talked about season 1 in episode 54 and season 2 in episode 131. So how does the series we've been following for the past three years end, and were we satisfied? You'll have to listen to find out!

Episode 169 - Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) Review

We started our adventure into this branch of Marvel allllllllllll the way back in March of this year! And here we are now, 21 episodes later! Thank you so much for taking this ride with us. This block has been in the works for nearly two years over here at Geeks Unleashed, and it's a little bittersweet that it's come to a close.

Our "Summer of X" has lasted almost half the year and we couldn't be more thrilled to truly end on a bang with the BILLION DOLLAR film, Deadpool & Wolverine. Not only did we take it back to Generation X, we also threw some Daredevil: Director's Cut and Elektra in for good measure. From Patrick Stewart to James McAvoy and every character in between, we've had a blast. Now here's the first film of 2024 that BOTH Geeks saw in theaters!

TRACKLIST:
1:20 - Geek of the Week: Jasmin - Revenger (2023, Crunchyroll); Mark - Twisters (2024)
9:20 - A small 2024 podcast recap!
12:09 - Film summary and fun facts
24:50 - Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) review
1:24:57 - Mark and Jasmin have an announcement!
