Marcia Lucas, the Oscar-winning editor behind the original Star Wars trilogy, as well as the ex-wife to George Lucas, is apparently furious over the new Star Wars sequels and thinks they butchered a legacy. I feel like I (mostly) disagree with her. But then again, Star Wars has become one of the biggest, and also most polarizing franchises in history. Even Derek and I don't see eye-to-eye on all things Star Wars. So, we discuss her beef with the new movies, and then talk about some of our likes and dislikes about what has gone on with the franchise. http://GetGeekish.com

Music has changed a lot over the past few decades. How we make it, how we listen to it, how it's distributed, how it's promoted...they have all changed drastically. (Some for the better, some for the worse.) But we now live in an era where artists can have repeated chart topping hits and still be completely 'unknown' by the general public. And other artists that have almost no traditional exposure, but become household names and sell out arenas. The 1980s were the decade of one-hit wonders, are the 2020s the decade of the no-hit wonders? http://getgeekish.com

an·i·me /ˈanəˌmā/ noun A style of Japanese film and television animation, typically aimed at adults as well as children.   We're talking anime this week. I love a lot of anime. there is a lot of anime I don't understand. And we know even the term anime gets thrown around and used on a lot of thing that might not event technically be anime. But all I know is that there are some pretty amazing shows you can watch, if you give them a chance. We talk about some of our favorites in this week's podcast.   http://getgeekish.com

From the cliff divers of Casa Bonita, to the tropical birds of the Rainforest Café, to the foul-mouthed servers at Dick's Last Resort. We talk about theme restaurants in the week's podcast.

He-Man was one of my beloved heroes as a kid. But when I grew up and went back to watch show the show, I was underwhelmed, to say the least. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe has been rebooted a number of times, but after seeing the preview for the new Kevin Smith-led Netflix adaptation, I'm hopeful the Masters of the Universe might finally live up the hype I made up for them as a kid.   http://getgeekish.com

Pop culture, and TV shows in particular, is known to have its fair share of annoying characters. Sometimes it drives the plot, sometimes it adds to the story, sometimes it's bad acting or writing. And, as it is with many things, one person's 'annoying character' is another person's favorite. Who do you think is one of the most annoying characters ever made? (If you say 'Derek and Beano' I'm taking ten points from Gryffindor.) http://getgeekish.com

The  1990s and early 2000s were the golden age for hidden tracks on CDs. Some were just extra songs, some were ways to sneak things past people, some were there just to mess with fans, and some took some serious work to actually find for the first time. We reminisce about some of the hidden tracks that stick out in our memories in this week's podcast. what was the last album you bought that had a hidden track? http://getgeekish.com

We know they they censored the blood in in the home release of Mortal Kombat, we know they never had an actual "nude code" for Tomb Raider, and we know that some countries just don't want games where you kill people, but censorship has been a big part of videos games since (almost) day 1. This week we take a look at some of the games that had big changes made in them them because of strict content policies, a lot of which I had no idea about. Some of them seem pretty ridiculous and some are pretty legit. Find more at http://getgeekish.com

Do VHS tapes deserve a renaissance? Vinyl had one, cassettes are trying to have one, could the nostalgic draw of VHS tapes be enough to start another marketing gimmick to bring a little bit of the 80s and 90s back to life? We discuss in this week's podcast. http://getgeekish.com

With the release of the teaser trailer for phase four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we were all able to get excited about the next few years of Marvel movies in the works, and the very last graphic in that teaser gives us the Fantastic Four logo. We discuss what the future may hold for the franchise, despite a few previous lackluster efforts at the box office. We also talk a bit about casting, who do YOU think should play the roles of the Fantastic Four?

People have always made music. They've also been making music about all kinds of 'taboo' or 'inappropriate' subject matter. Some are just better at cleverly hiding it, or working it in with wordplay and innuendo. From folks burning records in the 60s, to music censorship, radio edits, and the explicit content label. There has been a battle over 'decency' in music for years. I find it hilarious that some of the people that make the biggest stink about it (Music kids listen to to these days is just plain disgusting!) often have a library of songs they love that probably have some darker meanings they don't even know about. We talk about some of the dirtiest songs in music history that may have snuck past the censors. http://getgeekish.com

With the opening on Super Nintendo World in Japan, we got to thinking about theme parks. Will things like The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Super Nintendo World lead to even more fandoms getting their own theme parks? (As opposed to the most marketable fandoms getting their logos slapped on a re-tooled ride at Universal Studios?) We can only hope. We talk about the good and bad about some of these parks, and ask a very important question: What fandom do YOU think should have it's own theme park/world? http://getgeekish.com
