Ep 165 - It Follows - Sprecher in a Can

It"s All Geek to Me With Brant and Andrew ·

2025/10/27

To conclude this year's Geektoberfest, we watched the modern classic horror film “It Follows”. This one gets under our skin and plays with that innate fear of something slowly coming to get you, Barbara! The cinematography is distinctly unnerving and that score by Disasterpiece adds extra shivers! Today's root beer is Sprecher… in a can! Intro and Outro music by Stereoalex on Pond5 Send us a text

2025/10/20

From the ska pop days of Oingo Boingo to his four Academy Award nominations for Best Film Score, Danny Elfman is so much more than simply “Tim Burton's other half”. We discuss his roots, his influences, and his appearance at Utah's FanX; but, of course, we also talk about Batman, Men in Black, and A Nightmare Before Christmas! Today's root beer is Hank's 30th Anniversary. Intro and Outro music by Stereoalex on Pond5 Send us a text

Ep 163 - Edgar Allan Poe - Fanta Chucky's Punch

It"s All Geek to Me With Brant and Andrew ·

2025/10/13

Today we were joined once again by Brant's wife, Valerie, to discuss the life and works of one of the greatest American writers. Poe's work influenced countless writers, artists, and dreamers with tales and poems of the macabre, love, satire, detective stories, hoaxes, and even fan fiction. Our research found he was so much more than the author of “The Raven”. Today, we sampled one of Fanta's Halloween-themed flavors: Chucky's Punch.

Quoth the Raven: “Eat my shorts!” Today we added heavy whipping cream to a couple of cans of Great Value Root Beer. Intro and Outro music by Stereoalex on Pond5 Send us a text

2025/09/22

“Here doggie! Nice doggie! Ouch! He bit me!” Today we discuss the lore of werewolves. Everything from the ancient Greeks, the village folklore, the Hollywood agenda, and even the fact that there are actually no werewolves in the Twilight Saga (gasp!) So, if the moon is full and you just gotta eat that steak extra-rare, perhaps you might even be a werewolf! Today's root beer is Dog n Suds.

Ep 158 - One More Light - Brownie Caramel Cream Root...

It"s All Geek to Me With Brant and Andrew ·

2025/09/08

The final Linkin Park album with Chester Bennington and Rob Bourdon, and a noticeable departure from the previous LP sound. The album combines lyrics full of self reflection, aspects of mental health, and relationships, with a much more pop rock sound. It is impossible to not consider and respect Chester's final contribution in retrospect. Today's root beer is Brownie Caramel Cream. Intro and Outro music by Stockmusic331 on Pond5 Send us a text

It"s All Geek to Me With Brant and Andrew ·

2025/08/18

Hi, hi, hi, there, droogs and devotchkas! Today we are joined by Antonio Palacios of The Cultworthy Cinema Podcast to discuss overlooked outlaws, neglected antagonists, and generally unsung villains in film. In many cases, these villains ended up being the best part (or in some cases, the only part worth seeing) of a film, so why are they uncelebrated? Today’s root beer is On the Hook Harborside.

It"s All Geek to Me With Brant and Andrew ·

2025/08/11

We continue our year-long Linkin Park project with their 6th album, in which they go hunting for a return to hard rock and really stick-it-to-the-man! From a shrill, jarring intro, to a melodic and powerful close, “The Hunting Party” definitely caught its prey. Today's root beer wasn't root beer, but A&W Ice Cream Sundae flavoured soda.

It"s All Geek to Me With Brant and Andrew ·

2025/07/28

This week we discuss many of the funny songs and skits that were made famous by radio DJ Doctor Demento. This topic ended up being so big we're splitting it into two parts. This week, we discuss the songs we grew up with, from Seb Wooley's 1958 hit “The Purple People Eater”, and “The Existential Blues” by Tom “T-Bone” Stankus, Ray Stevens, Allan Sherman, and, of course, the great Tom Lehrer! Next week we're going to do modern funny songs and skits. Please note, we're not going to be covering ...

It"s All Geek to Me With Brant and Andrew ·

2025/07/07

Look up in the sky! It's a bird! It’s a plane! It's the original comic book superhero, whose name, characteristics, and even his vulnerability have transcended the comic book medium and have entered everyday vernacular. Seriously, I had to look up another word for “Kryptonite” just now while writing this summary because I wanted to say that Superman's Kryptonite was….. yeah. Today's root beer is Sodabeers.

2025/06/30

This statement is false. Or is it? This week we geek out about the seemingly absurd or self-contradictory statements or propositions that when investigated or explained may prove to be well founded or true. It would have been better if we could have a Snickers bar as well, but….. whatever. Today we ate ice cream of Dad's Root Beer Float. Intro and Outro music by Stockmusic331 on Pond5 Send us a text

It"s All Geek to Me With Brant and Andrew ·

2025/06/16

The fifth in our year-long project to cover every Linkin Park album. Whereas “A Thousand Suns” was a heavily conceptual album, “Living Things” was a return to a more traditional Linkin Park sound, with excellent percussion, and strong aspects of nu-metal, industrial, synth, rap, and even some blues motifs, while still maintaining the strong lyrics and vocals unique to Linkin Park.
