  • Episode 169 - Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) Review
    Aug 21 2024

    We started our adventure into this branch of Marvel allllllllllll the way back in March of this year! And here we are now, 21 episodes later! Thank you so much for taking this ride with us. This block has been in the works for nearly two years over here at Geeks Unleashed, and it's a little bittersweet that it's come to a close. Our "Summer of X" has lasted almost half the year and we couldn't be more thrilled to truly end on a bang with the BILLION DOLLAR film, Deadpool & Wolverine. Not only did we take it back to Generation X, we also threw some Daredevil: Director's Cut and Elektra in for good measure. From Patrick Stewart to James McAvoy and every character in between, we've had a blast. Now here's the first film of 2024 that BOTH Geeks saw in theaters! TRACKLIST: 1:20 - Geek of the Week: Jasmin - Revenger (2023, Crunchyroll); Mark - Twisters (2024) 9:20 - A small 2024 podcast recap! 12:09 - Film summary and fun facts 24:50 - Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) review 1:24:57 - Mark and Jasmin have an announcement!

  • Late to the Party Book Club - Episode 20 - Wolverine Origin
    Jul 24 2024

    To completely wrap up our stint with our favorite adamantium clad anti-hero, we read Wolverine Origin (2001). This mini series was a nice change of pace from the other X-Men collections we've read during our Summer of X series. Both Geeks really enjoyed going all the way back to the late 1800s to learn more about James Howlett.

    TRACKLIST: 1:55 - Characters - First Appearances 3:07 - Summary and How We Read it 9:56 - Thoughts on the artwork 15:27 - Thoughts on the story/structure, and accessibility 24:41 - Legacy of this Mini Series and Themes

    We've finished all the team driven films and are embarking on the individual characters now. We're kicking it off with the first of the Wolverine trilogy. Jasmin has seen this film more times than she can count, but this is only Mark's second viewing. Will this have any bearing on the Geek's rating?
