Beer With Geeks: A Geek Pop Culture Podcast
A podcast hosted by two guys who grew up as geeks in the 1990s. Each week, we reminisce about our geeky childhoods over a couple of beers.
Episodes
Frank, Tim, and Vactor from This Comic Cooks have seen Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and they’re bringing you their full review.
⚠️ Full spoilers start around 25:00.
We get into where it lands next to No Way Home, why Destin Daniel Cretton's Shang-Chi fight choreography and the PlayStation games are all over the web-swinging, and whether the new cloth suit is the most comic-accurate Spider-Man we've had on screen. Then the gri...
Tim and Frank just got back from definitely actually going to San Diego Comic-Con for real life and not pretend. Cheers!

Frank and Tim pour a drink and break down every reveal, theory, and Easter egg buried in the trailer for Avengers: Doomsday. Cheers!
We get into:
- The incursion, and why this is basically the first act of the movie (heroes miscommunicate, then find a bigger threat)
- The X-Men leading the cold open: Xavier's school on its last legs and what that window shot means
- Doctor Doom in live action for the "fifth" time, and why this one...
Tim and Frank take on a deceptively simple question: is Spider-Man actually a street-level superhero? What starts as a debate about subgenres turns into a much bigger conversation — about tone, stakes, and whether the label helps or hurts a character when your hero is literally swinging above the street.

Frank and Tim both showed up in green. Neither planned it. They discuss the trailer for the upcoming Green Lantern TV series Lanterns (2026). Cheers!
Beers of the Week
Sam Adams Winter Lager
Two Pitchers Nordic Jam
Frank and Tim grab a couple of citrus wheat ales and head to the theater for Supergirl, the DCU's next step after Superman. The verdict: liked it, didn't love it — an earnest, surprisingly un-cynical B-movie with a great cast, gorgeous practical aliens, and a message clearly aimed at kids it's frankly too dark to show them. Along the way: the Casablanca clue, Lobo done right, and a genuinely unhinged detour into Augustine vs....
Frank and Tim return to the galaxy far, far away to talk through The Mandalorian and Grogu, a Star Wars movie that knows exactly what it is: a fun, self-contained, Saturday-morning adventure with space western vibes, Indiana Jones structure, James Bond mission energy, and some very mobile Hutts. Cheers!
Beers of the Week
Saison Dupont Belgian Farmhouse Ale
Stoneface Brewing Sunday Sauce Italian Pils
Canada Dry Cherry F...
Frank and Tim crack open some drinks and attempt the noble, impossible task of ranking sci-fi franchises without accidentally starting six different side conversations. Star Wars and Star Trek go straight into S-tier, Dune gets surprisingly close to sacred-text status, and Tim is reminded that he watched Tron: Legacy for the podcast nine years ago and fully forgot.
Beers of the Week
Poppi Orange Prebiotic Soda
Shacksbury C...
Tim and Frank saddle up for a long-overdue trip into the world of Firefly, sparked by the news that an animated continuation may be on the way with Nathan Fillion and the original cast involved. Time for the return of Hit Me With Your Best Shot. Cheers!
Beers of the Week
Shacksbury Classic Dry Cider
Poppi Cherry Limeade Prebiotic Soda
Frank and Tim are gushing about Maul: Shadow Lord — and somehow neither of them used to even like Maul. They get into why this one is really about "bad guys and worse guys". Cheers!
Beers of the Week
Corona Extra
Buttonwoods Brewery Czech Amber Lager
Tim and Frank conduct a very serious, very scientific galactic performance review. They grade the Kennedy era across franchise stewardship, film strategy, Disney+ execution, creative risk, talent management, fan trust, event-level pop culture impact, and long-term legacy. Cheers!
Beers of the Week
Two Pitchers Radler
Coca Cola Zero Sugar
Tim and Frank react to the latest superhero trailers, including Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Lanterns, and Supergirl. Cheers!
Beers of the Week
Sam Adams Breakaway Blonde
Olipop Cherry Cola
Frank, Tim, and returning guest Vactor crack open some very different drinks and dive into DC K.O., DC’s latest big event comic. They dig into Superman as the emotional center of the event, whether the story had more substance than people gave it credit for, how the tie-ins held up, and whether this was just a flashy event or something more lasting.
Beers of the Week
Bero Kingston Golden Pils
Newport Craft Brewing Am...
Tim and Frank dive into Marvel’s Wonder Man: a surprisingly heartfelt, sharply written love letter to acting, movie-making, and finding yourself in the chaos of Hollywood. This show made Tim rethink his hate for Iron Man 3. Yes, really. Cheers!
Beers of the Week
Stoneface Sunday Sauce Italian Style Pils
Stormalong Farm Stand Unfiltered Cider
Tim and Frank return to the cantina to talk space macaroons, universal dessert laws, and why you should watch The Mandalorian & Grogu trailer twice. Cheers!

Beers of the Week
Sam Adams Cold Brew Coffee Stout
Quarter Horse Whiskey
Tim and Frank discuss what will happen now that Lucasfilm will be under the leadership of Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan. With Filoni being such a well-known superfan, is that a good thing? Cheers!
Beers of the Week
Jameson Black Barrel Whiskey
Quarter Horse Rye Whiskey
Frank and Tim are feeling the Doom. Doctor Doom, that is. They walk through the four teasers that have dropped so far for Avengers: Doomsday and try to make sense of it all. Cheers!
Beers of the Week
Sam Adams Winter Lager
Sam Adams Flannel Fest
Tim and Frank ring in 2026 with a thoughtful discussion about movies that get split into parts. Is it ever worth it? From Wicked to The Hobbit to Dune and beyond, the geeks debate when splitting a story works, when it absolutely doesn’t, and whether any of it is really about art in the first place. Cheers!
