Episode 36: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Cantina | Star Wars is one of, if not the largest fandoms out there, so it's only appropriate that we sat around to talk about it. Lucky for us, we also managed to convince the talented illustrator Katie Cook [Gronk Comic] to join us! We discuss the popularity of the franchise, why the Prequels are necessary and the future of Asoka Tano -- and that's only half of the podcast. Katie also regaled us with stories of her jerk baby and how she got into professional illustration, specifically with Lucas Films. You also get to see me have my most fangirl moment ever, it's quite embarrassing, really. Listen Now BONUS: | 2/19/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 35: Fictional Love is the Best Love | This week Cupid will be busy shooting arrows in people's butts to bring love into our world, and what's better than real-life romance? Fictional romance in books, movie and comics. These are the relationships we admire -- even the bad ones -- because they're more exciting, dramatic and not based in reality. We discuss the relationships we love, the ones we love to hate, and what makes it all work. Listen Now | 2/12/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 33: #whateveryoucandomy80thlevel darkelfwizardcandobetter | If you like to game you've probably clocked many hours playing online with your friends. Whether it be World of Warcraft, Red Dead Redemption or the newer Star Wars: The Old Republic, online games are taking over the industry. The single player game is almost becoming a thing of the past. Joining us this week is Kevin Chow from Good Game Media to get to the bottom of why we love our massive multi-player games, and online games in general. Listen as we share our own experiences as casual gamers (Bree & Brendon) and hard-core gamers (Kevin & Kim) alike. Listen Now | 1/29/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 32: Archetype is Not a Dirty Word | When we enjoy a movie, TV episode, comic or video game we give most of the credit to the great characterization of the hero, villain and everything in-between. Without good characters, there are no good stories. But what makes these characters so great? Is it their actions, their struggles, or the fact that they kick a lot of ass? This week we try to discover the secret recipe to great characters, why people love the anti-hero, while also exploring archetypes that are kinda the worst -- I'm looking at you, Mary Sue.

Episode 30: Queen & Country — 10 Years Later | In March 2001 Oni Press, an small independent publisher, released a comic called Queen & Country with creative team Greg Rucka and Steve Rolston. This story, about a secret intelligence agent named Tara Chace, quickly gained acclaim, controversy and a few of these little awards called Eisners. Today, 10 years and 9 months later, Geekin' Out reunits these two amazing creators for a look back at the process, struggles and accomplishments that have come from the series.

Episode 29: Brobots 2: The Remake | 2011 has been a year of remakes, adaptions, and sequels in the film, TV and video game industries with 2012 looking very much the same. But is this entirely a bad thing? This week we discuss some of the better remakes and, of course, some of the not-so-good. We also try to define the difference between a remake and a re-imagining and trust us, its tough. Prepare for our usual tangents, Breaker High references and entire conversations about Disney, Harry Potter and Doctor Who. Listen Now | 12/11/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Is the video game industry stressing you out? You're not alone.
