Listen to EOL Episode 11: I Grok Groaking

Somehow that Byron guy found his way past the Spheres, through the HQ and he even strapped himself into the 3rd Chair without any of us noticing. Well fine then, we’ll just have to punish him for being filthy. No wait, we’ll just do a segment on filthy songs and make him comment on them instead. All that, along with new homework, is awaiting you in this fun and food filled episode of “End of Line”.

Abomination:

Disney wants to ruin Ranger’s 90s classic with a “Rocketeer” reboot

Remember Harmony Gold? No, no one really does. But many remember “Robotech”. So let’s have a live action version of that…

EOL Episode 7: Flush With Sporks

Listen to EOL Episode 7: Flush with Sporks

Okay, a warning before we start. This episode isn’t like our usual crazy light hearted fun that we have been kind of known for in our short run as your geek stop podcast. In this episode we delve into some heady bits on the topic of Man Vs. Machine and we think you will enjoy the opinions of our 3^rd chair, Mr. Damon Rose on these matters. However, as seen in the notes below, that doesn’t mean that we didn’t talk our usual brand of nonsense. We have plenty of that to spare throughout the entire show actually. We just wanted to point out that we really think the topic was cool to discuss and we’d love to have your feedback on our comments in this episode. Enjoy!

Abomination!

And, by some chance if you are a fan of the show, if you ever wanted to know what the fate of the crew was after the second season… this clip. that was screened for the show’s anniversary convention, will help explain the fates of many of the show’s characters and serves as closure for the series as a whole

Ranger notes, again, that the UK version of “Being Human” is far superior to the lame US Sci Fi Channel edition. Check it out on Netflix to see why he feels this way

Also, as a part of the “Space 1999” discussion and as a public service to all you Scrabble players, here is the definition of the term “Schlock”

Watch the only episode of the 5^th Trek series, season 4’s “Through A Mirror Darkly” , on Netflix to judge how Manny Kodo tried to save cannon from the hands of Braga and Berman
