Big Kevs Geek Stuff [Listening Thread] 01-06-07

[Polack]

I didn't see one so I figured I'd start it off.

[Etherfiend]

yeah i found one that didnt have listening thread attached to it...so ignore that one...

[generoso]

Sounds like a plan to me

[Polack]

Yup, my thoughts exactly

[MoreImportantly]

Ooookayyy. Lets see if I can stay sober through another hour of late night Saturday radio.....

[Etherfiend]

In the Garage - Weezer

love that song

[Radioguy]

C'mon Kev, tell us how those Whovians threw down against the Trekkies...

[MoreImportantly]

......to a more of a mainstream group of closet stereotypes...

[MoreImportantly]

El Oh El... Love the profile pic, Radioguy!!

[Etherfiend]

I dont know... you're probably right but spielberg/lucas is a great combo and I still like Harrison Ford, even though he is a geezer

[Shaggz]

There isn't a midnight show scheduled for tonight?
That blows... Kev should have went longer than just an hour, but I can see why since it's his first show.

[BaLZaC~308]

ooooo sincity2 news.


gonna watch the first one later

[Etherfiend]

i've learned my lesson. i have no faith in remakes anymore. i hope its good, but history says no

How about Casino Royale? Granted most remakes suck cock, the new Bond wasn't bad at all...

[Butters]

360 2? GAY. (just got a 360)

And I hope Sin City 2 is good and that Frank Miller hasn't gone COMPLETELY insane yet.

he's almost there.

I love his comic work but I heard he's writing a batman vs al queda book.
yuck

[Butters]

he's almost there.

I love his comic work but I heard he's writing a batman vs al queda book.
yuck

Of course he is a legendary comic writer (Dark Knight Returns, Daredevil, Sin City).... But did you check out All-star Batman and Robin? His latest work? Ugh.

[Radioguy]

Thanks. Apparently people like my userbars too....too much. :(

Nevermind, I'll just let my inner geek out. ;)

[BaLZaC~308]

I've kinda fallen out of batman the last stuff I read was all the hush stuff, which I loved and The 2 red hood books witch I enjoyed at first but now I look back on it and it's meh at best.


not a bad story I just wish dc would leave corpses in the ground.
They are so guilty of doing that for like 20 years

I agree. The whole "Jason Todd is BACK! As the Red Hood or something!" was dumb. I'm hoping it's like, a robot pretending to be Jason or something, I don't know, some retcon.... Anyways, Grant Morrison is on Batman now (taking a break and is coming back on it soon), and I heard he was doing pretty good, so maybe I'll check it out. I'm more of a Marvel guy personally.

[BaLZaC~308]

I was gonna pm a mod about creating a comics forum but I'm not too sure how many people on here are still into it

[lucky]

Strange that I know very little of what that are talking about but I find this show a hell of a lot better than the Than and Sam show. Still early though.

I heard kubert's "batman and son" 4 part was great but I havent checked it yet.


Im all about marvel (and walking dead from image)

just had a chance to read both of the Cap America winter soldier trades by brubaker (who fucking rocks) and I was so pleasantly surprised since cap always bored me when I was younger.

Also I bought the Grant morrison "new xmen omnibus" which collects his whole 40 issue run and I fucking loved it

[Radioguy]

Does instant feedback work right now?

[BaLZaC~308]

it should

[Radioguy]

Ray park was great in X-Men. Too bad 3 sucked. I'd love to see him as Toad again.

[Etherfiend]

best villians: Darth Maul and Sephiroth


nerd talk rules

[BaLZaC~308]

I want more comic talk

[AngryHoboPete]

Any one else who thinks of themself as a geek think that this show is horrible? How long can you talk about a Figurines?

[Vyce]

No. This show is spectacularly boring.

The most entertaining thing about it is the Louis CK promo that just aired a few seconds ago.

[RobeSoup&Tears]

Hello thread.

I heard that Brubaker writes one hell of a Captain America, haven't checked it yet though.

And Morrison's New X-men run was great, that Xorn reveal blew my mind. Shame that it got retconned away since the whole Magneto shooting Emma, getting hopped up on drugs, destroying New York, killing Jean, and getting his head chopped off by Wolverine seemed a little too "definitive" for Marvel's tastes... Aww well, Morrison did get a bit carried away I suppose.

[Butters]

I agree, they have Romita Jr. in there. Press for spoilers, discuss his arcs, hell, discuss his DAD'S arcs, something.

[MoreImportantly]

I'm signing off after a rather disappointing radio evening. Ta-ta everyone.

I highly recommend the brubaker cap stuff. Also Wolverine 'enemy of the state' which is like 2 years old (and not by brubaker) at this point is a good read if you havent checked it yet

also brubaker did a 6 issue mini series called deadly genesis which IMO was the best xmen story in 15 years.

Also I hear brian bendis's daredevil stuff is top notch (another title that bored me when I was younger)

I agree towards the end of 'new xmen' it did get a little weak but I still thought he really did a great job of making xmen a little more adult with violence and psychological themes.

on the brightside: O&A will have plenty of ammo on Monday :icon_mrgr

Than was very correct in his mocking of having a guy draw durring radio while spendign 39 minutes talking about who has licence to make what figurine. i hope this guest is worthwhile to listen to.

arent they best of till thursday??

[MyKneeGrows]

They really nailed the name of this show, holy shit.

punchin out

[Radioguy]

I'd rather hear them talk about upcoming films and shows.

[al885]

I was hoping to hear Kev's riveting interviews with celebs

[Butters]

Meh, I actually will say I like this better then Than and Sam.

BaLZaC~308: Yeah, I hear Daredevil is very good. His New Avengers sucked donkey balls, but Bendis is pretty good on stories revolving on one character, especially if it's a character he has a serious boner for *cough* Spider-Man *cough*

And for the X-men comics, I guess Astonishing is the one getting all the good reviews, but it's always delayed and to me comes off as a Kitty Pride fan-fic (and I don't care for Kitty Pride). X-factor is good though, Peter David rocks.

[AngryHoboPete]

Who is this guy? Some nobody? You gotta be kidding me. What a blown oppertunity. One chance for a geek show and it gets blown talking about shit. Back to fungus 53

[lucky]

All I can say is this was a lot better than Than and Sam and that is not saying a lot. I think we are being punished for something.

[GDRC]

O boy story time with Francine

[lucky]

I am sorry but did I hear that Francine was gonna be on next week?

[Etherfiend]

Scotty Doesnt Know - Matt Damon (Eurotrip)

hahahahaahaha

[Butters]

Better then Than and Sam. I anxiously await Bill Burr to do another show.

Storytime with Francine? Wow, I thought they forgot about that.

astonishing is a good line, I'm kinda scared after the initial run is over, since they haven't announced a replacement team.
I don't buy issues anymore I just wait for everything to come out in trade form, the wait is excruciating but at least I can read whole arcs at once instead of waiting months for the conclusion.
I cant wait to get my hands on the multiple civil war trades

[lucky]

Yes Bill Burr rocked and loved the Black Phill show. Even more now that we have gotten crap now.

At least the first 30 minutes of Than and Sam was entertaining before it totaly went into the shitter. This had nothing.

I prefer getting the individual issues personally. Civil War's been pretty entertaining, though I kinda miss Tony Stark when he was always drunk, at least he was nice then.

We were listening to different shows. It sucked from beginning to the end big time.

Bill burr had a great show. He should really have a regular show, he knows whats entertaining for the listiners. Unlike the 2 shows we got tonite.

[Butters]

As with the last show, Tony was the only entertaining part. Of course, Sam will disregard him and say that any humor from it came from him, he's too uppity that Sam.

[MyKneeGrows]

Not to combined threads here, but i'd rather listen to Sting and his fuckin lute over this bullshit. Hope someone recorded it, cause thats it. Hopefully.

Exactly. He seemed very well prepped for that show.

Ok. To each his own I am sure. As for me I feel we have just witnessed the worst radio of all time and ever will be forever. Holy fucking shit.

No disrespect to any that enjoyed it of course. Just MHO.

[BaLZaC~308]

I kinda miss Tony Stark when he was always drunk, at least he was nice then.

there's a great scene is avengers dissesmbled where tony gets drunk (sorta) and threatens to vaporize the latverian delegate to the UN.
funny fucking shit.


ok no more comic talk out of me tonite

[Butters]

Sam tries for the "angry, evil" angle on the show, but his voice is so lame that it just comes off as forced. Plus the jokes are forced and stink.

Alright, no more comic talk tonight, I enjoyed it though, probably the reason why I didn't notice that the show probably droned on.

And lucky, when I said "entertaining," I meant "bad, but sort of held a bit of attention." I agree with you, it sucked from beginning to end.

[AngryHoboPete]

Ok. To each his own I am sure. As for me I feel we have just witnessed the worst radio of all time and ever will be forever. Holy fucking shit.

Agreed
Very well put.

Ok. I apologize. I was just stunned that I actually listened and was somewhat numb with disbelief. Meant no disrespect at all. I am better now that I am now looking at porn. Life is good again.

[AngryHoboPete]

Your right, he's trying to come off as tough but has the voice of a 13yo prepubesent boy. It doesn't help that Than has a good radio voice which makes Sams sound all the worse.

[RMPGP]

My biggest thought is this show is way too short for the amount of subject matter and material they have. The fact that Than and Sam got the amount of time they did and Big Kev got the amount of time he did is sad.

Big Kev, you guys did a very nice job. I kinda felt the artist guy got in the way tonight, but the fact you made it into a radio first was cool and everything else was nice.

I have to agree. It seemed to me a lot more polished and better produced. It also seemed to be a bit rushed because they had only an hour to cover and had to go to next topics faster. The flow was pretty good even between all the people. I am not really into al the things they were talking about but I can see that they could do a geek show very well. I doubt that there is enough people that listen to XM that would listen to it on a constant basis but if there are geeks out there that have XM then I can see Kev's Geek show ongoing.

[RMPGP]

It would go very nicely alongside of Lazlow's show, which is somewhat gadgety oriented. I think there's a lot of potential there. I think they need to lay off the figures just a little, at least in the beginning and stick with more movie and comic book stuff, because when you get into Sideshow, you are getting into a niche of a niche of a niche, and your audience is tiny at that point. But I know I enjoyed a bit of the Sideshow discussion.

They need to take calls too.

agree 100%


also an hour seems a little short

[lucky]

Have to agree again. The show before or after Lazlows show would be a fit. The figures were a small thing and even I a novice knows that movies and comics are what people are passionate about. Calls are needed. I was expecting them to give the drawing to a caller and that would have been cool.

I hope everyone involved in that turd that you refer to as a radio program, Is brutally penetrated with a wiffle ball bat.

Que the CarCrash...

[Radioguy]

Hard to take calls in an hour show, especially with breaks. They're essentially doing their podcast for XM. They need to tweak it for radio, but I guess with just an hour, they're hardpressed to decide what has to go.

I don't kno how some of you think that Geek Stuff was better than Than & Sam. Maybe their show ran out of steam, but Kev spent probably half an hour talking about a fucking figurine.

That hour as an exercise in my own masochism. Please, let this be the very last "Geek Stuff" outside of their podcasts which I can continue to conveniently ignore.

[BaLZaC~308]

Im not gonna sit here and say the show was great, hell I 'used' to collect action figures/statues and I'm into comics and scifi shit and I thought the show was kind of boring.
But at least the members could hold a conversation with each other and didn't sound like 2 amateurs. I agree they spent too much time talking about sideshow figures but they were knowledgeable on what they were talking about and knew how to move the show along.

[AngryHoboPete]

. I agree they spent too much time talking about sideshow figures but they were knowledgeable on what they were talking about and knew how to move the show along.


Thats the problem, when you have a 1 hour show and spend 39 minutes on who has the licence to make a figurine, thats not moving the show along.
But i will agree that Than and sam have zero chemestry and its all very forced sounding, where as big kev and crew sound like they acctualy speak to each other outside of the studio and have a clue about the topic. But no kind of chemesty will save a show when the topic is a nich of a nich of nich of a genre. It was well intentioned and obviously planned out (unlike T&S show)but turned in to wasted oppertunity by its complete lack of any entertainment for the listner.

Idiots like me buy that shit. I followed his figuring discussion with great interest. Obviously that show isn't for you.

I used to when young buy that stuff and I know many that do also still. It is a surprisingly robust business.

Have to agree that when there is an hour only then only a certain topic should be discussed and take callers. Can not cram too much into one hour.

Hearing Kev when he comes on the show I had doubts that his show would be any good but it was polished and decent flow and he seemed to have a grasp and he also seemed relaxed.

But as for me I am not that geeky and personally would not listen in weekly but do feel that Kev deserves props for a very good first show on a bigger medium than a podcast.

[Cantdance]

Geek Stuff put on a very organized and prepared show. While the material isn't for everyone, that was the point. And perhaps it felt like they spent a lot of time on a figurine or about licensing, but that wasn't really the case. The license item was part of the news and was only a couple of minutes. The figurine was a small segment and was not the focus of the show. With only an hour to do a show, it makes it difficult to really show what they can do. I listened to the podcasts before the XM Experience, and they are really a great show. And being a girl, I am surprised at how much I can follow. The Saturday Night Programming is not just for O and A materials, Geek Stuff is something DIFFERENT. And that's what made the show interesting, it was different from those trying to be like O and A, much like the show that preceeded Geek Stuff. But hey, to each his own, right?

Awesome job guys!
BRING GEEK STUFF TO XM!!!!!
