Episode 28: Phantom Halo

A pair of brothers turn to crime to support their father, an out-of-work alcoholic actor. But trying to pay his gambling debts gets them in hot water.

IMDb

Gordon and Geoff watch a terrible tragedy. And by tragedy, I mean the Shakespearean definition of the word. This movie fails to establish any sense of sympathy you're supposed to have for the characters so when they all die at the end, you just shrug your shoulders and say, "Good." Also, Gordon brings us his review of Batman v Superman. You've probably heard a dozen of them by now but this one is the best review available. Gordon knows words. He has the biggest, bestest words. Next week, glorious Netflix has blessed us with another classic from 1940, His Girl Friday. I'm sure it will hold up...

Episode 27: Downloaded

Discover the history of Napster, which began as an unassuming bit of computer code in 1998 and would eventually change the nature of music sales.

IMDb

Gordon and Geoff nerd out over the history of Napster and the impact it had on technology as well as EVERY SINGLE PERSON'S LIFE!!! We liked the movie, which is rare for us these days, so go check it out. Then we talk about Zootopia - a piece of anti-racism propaganda that will make you wish you were an ignorant child again so that you could actually enjoy the movie instead of being slammed in face repeatedly with why Jim Crow laws were bad. It's a message everyone can get behind but it ruined our fun cartoon time! Finally, we recommend a couple video games we have been playing. Next week we'll be watching Phantom Halo.

Episode 26: The Legend of Sarila

In this lyrical animated film, when a shaman curses an Inuit village with starvation, three brave young souls undertake a quest to save their people.

IMDb

Gordon and Geoff learn about the hardships native Canadians faced back when their fish God hid all the animals in a secret ice paradise because Dumbledore decided to worship the Balrog. Also how Simba broke ancient law by cock-blocking Pumba in order to pop Nala's cherry. Pretty much every story you've ever loved was stolen from the rich history of the Eskimos. Then, we bring back our second edition of Random Ramblings and the discussions we deal with are tough ones! SJWs beware or you might get triggered by our civil discussion. Next week we'll be watching Downloaded.

Episode 25: Mercenaries

When a female terrorist kidnaps the president's daughter, the CIA recruits four tough-as-nails inmates from a women's prison to bring her home safely.

IMDb

While much better than Jack the Giant Killer, this Asylum movie is definitely still terrible. Though, you can't help but be impressed with the studio's mission; To pump out cheap, awful movies and make money with quantity over quality. Maybe it's time we put the microphone down and pick up a camera to show Hollywood how its done. The world needs to see Gordonman v. Geoffman: Dawn of Podcast. Also we talk about Room and Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. Next week, we'll be watching The Legend of Sarila.

Episode 24: Jack the Giant Killer

A beanstalk brings Jack to a land in the clouds filled with evil beasts. When the creatures come to Earth, Jack must follow suit to save his hometown.

IMDb

Oh man; This week on the podcast, Gordon is nearly driven to insanity. Jack the Giant Killer is a terrible abomination rushed straight to DVD/Netflix with the sole purpose to tricking the consumer in to watching it instead of Jack the Giant Slayer. The studio that produced this pile of crap is called Asylum and their projects are infecting Netflix in a big, bad way. Oh and guess who made what we'll be watching next week, Mercenaries? Also we talk about Trumbo and Gordon's double Coheed weekend.

Special Episode 4: Oscars 2016

Welcome to our fourth special! This week we watched the 88^th Academy Awards and we took a stab at predicting the winners of each category. Since no one sent us any suggestions for what the loser would have to suffer, I was spared from doing something humiliating. Thanks goodness. If you missed the Oscars this year or couldn't bring yourself to sit through hours of star-gazing, this episode is the best synopsis available for you. We'll be back next week with our review of Jack the Giant Killer.
