We’re back with another super-sized episode! In Geek Out, Mike describes reading “The Princess Bride” with his daughters and how applying googly eyes to anything makes life better. James talks about revisiting the show Babylon 5 and his efforts to turn his daughter into a warrior princess by taking her to a local archery practice. Bryan relates how his recent trigonometry education is improving his visual effects work and how well the live-action adaptaion of Full Metal Alchemist holds up. Then, based on a listener suggestion, the guys begin a look back at classic science fiction & fantasy movies. The first they discuss is the 1956 sci-fi thriller Forbidden Planet. Finally, they share their thoughts on the most recent Star Wars movie Solo.

editor’s note: James makes reference to Destiny 2: Outcast. The actual title of the new campaign is Forsaken, scheduled for release in September.

From swordfighting manuscripts to Destiny 2, the guys discuss what they’ve been Geeking Out to recently. Bryan relates his experience combating a hacker and the safeguards he’s taken while giving some good advice for online security. Also, with the large number of natural disasters our country has seen recently, James describes the emergency bug out bag he built for his family. Finally, with so many shows and characters from our childhoods being revived, the guys share which one they are currently enjoying in a new segment called Retro Revival!

In this episode:

A blog post Bryan wrote on his personal site about his experience fighting that hacker:
Defense Against the Dark Arts

FEMA emergency supplies list

       

                             

Sorry, nunchcucks are so dangerous that you apparently can’t order them on Amazon. Unless you want foam practice ‘chucks. Probably just as well.
