Geek Brunch 142 – A Light in the Wake Of Disaster

Hold on to your butts, this is a long one. Mike is out this week doing whatever he pleases and so Micah and Bill are joined by Darrell Taylor to talk comics, tv, movies, and surviving natural disasters. This episode is four hours long. You might need a break at some point in time. This covers a lot of long form chats about comics in general. We do get into specifics on stuff like Roger Langridge’s book “Snarked” and the Japanese Period piece “Hula Girls.” Micah Drops another recipe on the people that’s both easy and delicious, so download this and enjoy.

Geek Brunch 141.1 – Micah Brunches Alone

Apologies in advance dear listeners. Both Mike and Bill are away on secret missions this week, and Micah decided it would be a good idea to talk by himself into a microphone. Yup. Listen to the shortest episode of Geek Brunch Ever (someone fact check this) [NOTE FROM DEREK: Yes, it is, by about 23 minutes.] as Micah tries to pull a Lynne Rossetto Kasper and talk about pancakes. He also has a scatterbrained look at Grant Morrison’s Batman by way of Final Crisis and Ed Brubaker’s Captain America by way of Civil War. He ends with Phineas and Ferb or some such. It’s all rather sad.

Here’s a link to the Grant Morrison article http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/grant-morrison-on-the-death-of-comics-20110822

And here’s to Micah’s blog that he actually doesn’t want you to read hypocriticalhyperbole.wordpress.com

Geek Brunch 140 – Moving Sucks

Look Alive True Believers! With Mike refreshing his juices, Micah and Bill helm the show. On the movie tip, Micah shares his love of Captain America with the you. He and Bill both hop around quickly about trailers and action movies like Conan, Attack the Block, Mission Impossible movies, John Woo Movies, and Chow Yun Fat’s fear of guns. Micah also sighs about never being able to see Solomon Kane, as well as chides Bill about Ratatouille. The duo Liquidates Borders, Love on local Book Stores, and contemplate collecting manga series (like Micah’s now adored Twin Spica). Bill Loves Wrasslin documentaries and drops some history. As far as comics go, Bill chats up Seth’s Wimbledon Green and Justin Madson’s Breathers, Micah goes all novel with Leviathan Wakes, Hunger Games, and A Dance With Dragons. Geek Brunch endorses fresh vegetables.

Get your thinking caps on brunch buddies! With Mike off enjoying the delights of the CGS Super Show, Bill and Micah travel through tangent city on their way to discussing comics, novels, movies, tv and food. In between some enlightening discussions on script writing and public education, they talk about great titles such as Ian Churchill’s “Marineman”, James Stokoe’s “Orc Stain”, Walt Simonson’s Thor Omnibus, and more delicious books with pictures in. Micah, being too lazy to look at pictures recounts Jasper Fforde’s “The Last Dragonslayer” and his “Thursday Next” series as well as Robin Hobb’s Farseer trilogy of books. It was an exciting week of movies with “Fast Five”, the “Social Network” and John Woo’s “Paycheck”. In the TV we cover get serious with “Game of Thrones” and “Dr Who”, and laugh a bit at “Parks and Rec.” All this with a healthy side of Sprat Pate. Tune in and enjoy.
