The Geeks are joined by friend of the show Moses Uvere to finally talk about Black Panther. Born in America, the son of Nigerian parents, Moses has a take on the movie that many in the geekspace may not consider. Things get personal as the four men take a deep dive into the superhero film that has blown through box office expectations and what it means to black Americans and those of African heritage.

The Geeks are joined by friend of the show Luke Erlenbusch to talk about one of the iconic science-fiction films of the 1980s: Back to the Future. Crank up the flux capacitor, make sure your radiation suit is packed, and your Walkman has fresh batteries, because we’re cranking it to 88 miles per hour and dialing the time circuits for 1985! Watch the video below to see Dallas build the LEGO DeLorean!

We all have them. Those guilty pleasure movies which, no matter how we find them while channel surfing, or where in the movie we may find it, we’ll stop and watch. Most of the time, these aren’t even particularly good movies, but occasionally they are.

Chris, Nathan, and Dallas share with you their top 3 bad flicks in the science-fiction and fantasy realm. The guys talk about why these movies matter to them, and discuss what each other thinks of them. Also, Dallas has a Will Smith problem, and Nathan and Chris are there to help.
