Geek Brunch Episode 119

Geek Brunch 119 - That's What Makes it so Damn Sexy!

Haven't posted in a while. The latest Geek Brunch is out. We start by an indepth discussion of Lars Von Trier's Antichrist... pretenious BS or worth watching? Find out! Warning - we spoil everything. So see it first. It drags at the midpoint, but blows you away in the last act. If you get too bored jump to the hr mark. Then after you watch it, go back and watch the rest. Cuz you'll want to. And if you understand the ending, let us know.

We also cover Bitch Slap, an over the top tittlation flick. Was entertaining. I liked it more that I thought I would. And Survival of the Dead, which we were mixed on.

We also cover a bunch of new shows, and Micah reviews Catfish and the Social Network.

In comics we cover a bunch of stuff, like Crossed Family Values, Superf*ckers, Blacksad (oh, no wait, that was last episode), and uh, I don't remember, look at the show notes.

It was a fun episode to record, so check it out!

Just a quick note:

THE SPIRIT #1
Written by MARK SCHULTZ Art by MORITAT
Co-feature written by Dennis O’Neil Co-feature art by Bill Sienkiewicz

That's just made of win, win, win, and win.

Weird Twits

It's weird when a chain of unrelated tweets on Twitter seems to be related, for example:

Person 1: How to make sure your Thai food is as spicy as it's supposed to be. http://ow.ly/YJwf
Person 2: and...boom goes the dynamite.
Person 1: My head is pounding for some reason.
Person 3: Looks like we're goin' to Qboba tonight!
Person 2: Feast of fools
Person 4: I frown on restaurants that don't take reservations. It's an insult to the dining public.

And none of these were replies, or even related to one another. Hah! Funny (to me at least)

Update

Heh, been a while...

I'll try to update more often, but meanwhile, you can catch me on
