Hey kids! Welcome to another exciting classic GFR! This time around our guys Carlos and James talk Starlog Magazine! Let's see what they had to say at the time...
Before the internet gave us access to Ain't It Cool News, Dark Horizons, You Tube, Collider, and Super Hero Hype, all we geeks had was print media and Starlog Magazine was the place to go.
Join Carlos and James as they recall the days when we eagerly awaited the next issue of Starlog Magazine to learn about upcoming genre projects as well as conventions and merchandise.

Hey kids! We are back for another installment of Classic Geekfest Rants! This time around we're gonna give a listen to episode 211. It's about Miami Vice. Let's see what Carlos had to say at the time....
Today we remember a time where a television show inspired men to wear white Italian linen suits over pastel T-shirts while wearing imported shoes with no socks. To sport a five o'clock shadow 24/7 and to drive expensive sports cars.....well....maybe getting the cars was a little more difficult.
We are of course talking about Miami Vice, the 1984 cop show that upped the ante on the modern cop show. For years we had different versions of gritty cops but now we had the cool cops.
From music, to fashion, to action, Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas became television stars and Miami Vice became the latest evolution of the American cop show. Join us today as Carlos and James take a ride to Miami Vice.

One day in the distant future, when everyone will get around in flying cars, movies will be watched with LASERS. Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves. We might not have flying cars but the home video industry runs on Lasers. Actually it has been for almost 40 years. And it all started with Laserdiscs.
Join Carlos today at GeekFest Rans as he covers his personal experience with the easily forgotten video format of Laserdiscs. Was it a failed niche format for movie snobs or the beginning of a new technology that continues to this day? Actually it was all of the above.

Hey kids! Let's dig back into the super rich history of Geekfest Rants! This is one of my favorite episodes from the past.. Ep.230 Attack Of The Twelve Backs. It's a very indepth look at the 1st wave of Kenner Star Wars Figures!.
Here's what Carlos had to say at the time..
It all began with the 12-Backs, the first 12 Star Wars action figures released in 1978. While the movie overtook our lives in the summer of 1977, the action figure line overtook our wallets a year later.
Listen to Carlos and James as they give you a beginner's course on Star Wars vintage action figure collecting.
How were these figures introduced to the market, what were the variants, where did we get them, what is a double-telescoping light saber? So, dig out you old figures for today's GeekFest Rants.
