Geek Roulette

Mike is joined by Kevin as we discuss wrestling in the 80's, 90's and today. Join us as we discuss WWF, WCW, ECW and briefly the lame AWA.

On the heels of a great personal moment for our host Mike Spreigl, we have a sad moment happen in music. Mike looks forward to life with his third son by recalling the memories of Soundgarden as we say good bye to Chris Cornell.

Mike along with special guest Steve talk about the Nintendo Entertainment System and all the fun it brought to our lives. We talk about our memories of the system. Our favorite games. The hardest games we played. And how gaming now is so much different from gaming then.

This episode, Mike reflects on the recent airing of "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!" and how surreal of a cartoon it was . Then Mike reflects on how Halloween has lost some of it's charm due to it becoming more commercialized and sanitized.

This solo show briefly addresses how we are oblivious to our normal lives. Then we discuss the lost Olympic luster. I then take a detour and discuss how we've lost our sense of wonder. And then I recommend a documentary to help restore it. Also? What is the plural of "crisis"?

My old friend John and I discuss and break down the pros and cons of the Original Star Wars Trilogy. We revisit our fond memories of the trilogy from when we were kids to the realities of things now that we are older. Join us as we discuss the why A New Hope is John's favorite verses why Empire stands stronger in my heart. We discuss how Lucas's attempt to "Fix" the Original Trilogy was done with the heart in the right place but failed in execution. I defend Lando's honor as John calls him a "Space Pimp". We both agree that Return of the Jedi is an amazing action film burdened by bad storytelling. And we spend what probably is the longest anyone has discussed the Ewok made for TV movies in recent years.

My first Podcast episode!!! And it shows!!! I outline what the show will be about. I ramble a little. And even though I kept saying to myself after recording this that I would rerecord the ending...I leave the original intact. It's like watching a gymnast completely wipe out on a routine.
