2. Star Wars, Star Wars, Star Wars

The guys could have put this off, but given how seminal the Star Wars universe is for them as geeks, especially Chris and Nathan, they figured it was go big or go home. They touch on the entire franchise, but focus most of the conversation on the relaunching of Star Wars with The Force Awakens and Rogue One.

1. Who, What, Why, and Comic Book Movies

It’s the inaugural episode of the Big Fat Geek Podcast! Chris, Nathan, and Dallas talk about who they are, their backgrounds as geeks, and why they wanted to launch a podcast for the casual nerd. They also discuss Wonder Woman, The Dark Knight, other comic book movies, Star Wars, and Aliens. Dallas has recently starting reading and collecting comic books, and the guys talk about how those interested in doing so can get started.
