Korra-nt Affairs, Episode 3: "When Extremes Meet"

Another week, another Korra-nt Affairs. And this week, do we ever have some stuff to talk about regarding Episode 8, "When Extremes Meet". Long-simmering tensions boil to the surface, some of the darker parts of the Avatar universe return to the forefront, and the whole thing basically plays like the end of Empire. Find out what our intrepid nerdlingers have to say about this episode's revelations and what they mean for the identity of Amon, Korra's love life, and most importantly Pabu and Naga.

Korra-nt Affairs, Episode 2: "Welcome To Republic City"

 

In this, the second episode of Korra-nt Affairs, the boys take advantage of a week without a new episode of The Legend of Korra to go back to the first episode of the series, "Welcome to Republic City", as well as talk about some new clues about Amon, Nick's theories about chi-blocking, the future of the series, and the insider secrets of animation studios. Fill the void in your life between new episodes by downloading this episode right away.

Korra-nt Affairs, Episode 1: "The Aftermath"

 

 This summer, Nickelodeon has been airing probably one of the finest animated programs in years in The Legend of Korra, a worthy follow-up to the beloved classic Avatar: The Last Airbender with a cast of amazingly-realized characters, thought-provoking story, and gorgeous cinematography. So what to do when faced with a show of such quality? I'm not sure but it's probably not what Bryan Carr, Steve Watts, and Nick Hurwitch did in this, the first episode of the new Geekspeak summer series "Korra-nt Affairs". Every week, join these three knuckleheads as they dissect the show, bringing you theories, commentary, and more. This week, the boys talk about "Aftermath", the seventh episode of the first season and what it means for the identity of mysterious Big Bad Amon, the romantic implications our heroine will have to deal with, and also how awesome it was when those guys fought those guys.

Geekspeak Supplemental #16: We'll Damn Sure Avenge It

 This week, long-time friend of Geekspeak Brian Swafford stops by to chat with Bryan about Marvel's superhero magnum opus The Avengers, which Bryan already reviewed for some Web site if you want to read that while you listen. Find out if this movie was worth the time, money, and...you know what? No pretense. We basically spend 90 minutes  talking about how awesome it was and why it was so awesome. So if you like talking about awesome things, you'll like this. But make sure you only listen AFTER you've seen the movie because SPOILERS ARE PLENTIFUL AND WE BASICALLY RUIN MOST OF THE MOVIE. With that caveat out of the way, hear two guys take an overly academic approach to a movie about dudes in tights by clicking here.

Geekspeak Season 14, Episode 12: Making Simple Things Complicated

 

This week on Geekspeak, Brad and Bryan welcome Matt Wilson to the brutal confines of the Geekspeak Network Paindrome to interrogate him about his new book The Supervillain Handbook: The Ultimate How-To Guide to Destruction and Mayhem. It's another fun entry into the Geekspeak Network Book Club as the boys talk about the scientific process of making memorable movie quotes, recap all the latest superhero news, and define exactly what makes a supervillain so super. All this and more can be yours, if you'll but download the show.  

THIS BUSINESS episode 2: YOUR FATHER'S A DRUNK! HIT ME IN THE HEAD!

Geekspeak Season 14, Episode 11: #3DBillyZane and Dinosaur Combat

This week, we welcome Phil Hornshaw and Nick Hurwitch, the authors of the new book So You Created a Wormhole: The Time Traveler's Guide to Time Travel to the unnecessarily tense, discomforting shores of Geekspeak country. Ostensibly they were there to talk about their book, but things take a turn. Like, several turns. We also talk about MIT's printable robots project and Ashton Kutcher playing Steve Jobs, dancing Star Wars kitsch, the challenge of making Twitter accounts, and even manage to squeeze in some Lindsey fan service. Go ahead and download the new episode, and while you are doing that go buy a copy of Nick and Phil's pretty awesome and hilarious book.
