Sneaky Geek

Wondercon is one of our favorite cons, it's far less daunting than SDCC but still packs a punch.

This years Wondercon took place on a rainy Easter weekend, and it had some interesting affects on our usual con experience. But that didn't stop us from seeing great panels like Her Universe with Ashley Eckstein, Star Trek Discoveries season 5 premiere, or The War of Rohirrim panel!

Joining us this episode are Reychel and Frankie, from ...

At 8am on March 19th, 2024, Lucasfilm dropped the trailer for their newest Star Wars show, The Acolyte. It featured intense fight scenes, a whole lot of lightsabers, and a new threat we haven't yet seen!

This whole show takes place a hundred years before Anakin told Sebulba he was going to be bugsquat (sleemo), and that means it's during The High Republic!

What is The High Republic? What do all this quickly flashing scenes mean? Wh...

This week we are honored to have former Wookiepedia Bureaucrat, writer, and Legends afficionado John Hazlett on the podcast!

Lucasfilm is a few years into its multi-media storytelling initiative, "The High Republic." Since it's going strong, we wanted to ask John if he had seen any of these stories before and whether this era in Star Wars overwrites any of the old canon. He had some fascinating insights, comparisons, and drops a fe...

Want to make Pokemon harder? Tragic even? Well do we have a challenge for you!

You get two Pokémon games with every new generation, so we're giving you two parts to this Pokémon episode!

Because... because it's part 2 of our Pokémon episode... get it?

This episode was first streamed LIVE on Twitch.tv/sneakygeekpodcast, and it was so big, that we broke it into two episodes for you! In this episode, we discuss ho...

It's Sneaky Geek's 50th episode!

Sneaky Geek is an inclusive podcast that discusses all things geek and fight against gatekeeping. This week on the show:

-Is Echo worth the watch?

-How does it fit in with the MCU?

-What is all this Marvel Studio's Spotlight business about?

-Should Dargula be played in every Marvel Property?

-Why is Biscuits your new favorite MCU NPC?

-How is Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin still managing to surprise us in all the right ways?

All these...

So it turns out Ahsoka is your new favorite... or maybe it's Sabine... if it's neither it's obviously Chopper. The problem is, you wanna learn more but you don't know where to start. We have excellent news for you! Bryce hit record right as he and Bryan were discussing this exact subject and before you could say Follow the white Loth-cat, a bonus episode was formed. We go through some of the key moments to watch without being to...

"Let's split that Blue Beetle episode into two parts!" Bryan and Bryce said excitedly.

Our comic historian Dave Ziegler is back again with us this week as we get to the second part of our Blue Beetle History.

Then we talk about what we're reading for a while.

Maybe those "what are you reading?" bits should be their own episodes at this point... Hmm... What was I saying? Oh yeah, I was telling you about this episode. It's great. Go ...

Did you know the Blue Beetle comic is almost as old as Super Man? Or that he wasn't originally owned by DC? Or that there was a team of super heroes called the Mystery Men and no one on that team even bowled? Well we didn't, and that's why Bryce went over to our favorite Comic Historian Dave's house to record a podcast episode remote with Bryan back at home as the man in the chair. Blue Beetle is in theaters August 18th, and you c...

The long awaited second half of our WandaVision episode is finally here!

Obviously, after so many current and up-to-date episodes, the best thing to do would be to keep our momentum going with an episode about something that was totally relevant two years ago

You're welcome for our genius career move to let you hear something recorded about a character who isn't even in current MCU things. It makes TOTAL sense that we're doing this...

The Illumination Super Mario movie was great, but before Mario could run with his arms stretched out wearing a tanuki costume, Bob Hoskins had to drunkenly walk with a couple of broken fingers, in weird shoes, next to John Leguizamo, also drunk... and with a fractured leg...

and through that pain, we got the truest form of art.

We caught up with our Video Game Historian, Nick Fratto to talk all about the bizarre story of the origin...

It's that time of year again! Comic-Con is here! Except this time, it's special! November 26th through 28th marked the first ever Comic-Con Special Edition. So instead of Black Friday shopping, we went to the exhibit hall! Joining us on the podcast today are Bridget Kelley and Nicole Jones to talk about their first con experience, we also reflect on past cons and what what the absence of Marvel, DC, and film & television meant for...

So you've finished watching WandaVision and you're thinking to yourself, man oh man... who are those extra characters? Where I can I read their backstories? What if I want to read the greatest young super hero book of all time? When should I start? The answer? Yesterday. We're joined by our in-house historian and fact checker extraordinaire, Dave Ziegler as we navigate the publication history of all your new favorite characters f...

Sometimes we record episodes that never make it to you guys, and that makes us sad. So we decided to rectify that problem by presenting to you an old episode of Sneaky Geek, featuring an even older segment with Special Guest Clay Davis! We talked about what was going on in comics, predictions for upcoming events, and a whole bunch of expectations we had long before the world shut down and we all sat at home finishing Netflix. Fr...
