Hey kids! This week on the show we're gonna go over my top 5 movie picks of 2019. It was a pretty great year for movies and I think that the pics reflect that. There are some real gems in there.
Before we get there though we start off with an interesting phone message I recieved on the garage answering machine. We take a trip out there to check it out. It's a big deal and I need to know what you guys think.
For At The Movies we take a look at a pretty fun little Sci-Fi movie called Underwater. It stars Kristen Stewart and takes place 7 miles below the sea... I'll tell you all about it.
Then we have the top 5.. It's great..
At the end we talk some He-Man and a bunch of other stuff as well.. It's a great episode like always and if you guys got a minute PLEASE tell a friend!

Innovations in action figure design don't occur very often. But when it happens, collectors and competitors take notice. Join Carlos and Steve on GeekFest Rants as they step back into their action figure collecting days to reminisce about McFarlane action figures.
These are the more grown up collectable figures that changed the marketplace through the 90's and Spawned - pun intended - a number of imitators.
The quality and diverse nature of properties under the McFarlane line have earned this company a spot in action figure collecting history.

This week on the show we have one of our annual traditions.. The Big Movie List! and this year it's a biggie.. I took in a record breaking (For Me) 103 flicks.. It was exhausting to even read all of them..
We start off with the latest on Pooptronics and all that.. It's still no fun at all. I have no idea where this is heading but I have to get back to work at some point right? It's getting tough...
Then we head to At The Movies where I'm gonna go over one of the best movies that I saw this past year, a movie called Uncut Gems. It stars Adam Sandler and man, it was tense.. I dug it a lot..
From there it's onto the main event of the show.. The Big Movie List.. 103 movies.. ugh.
I end the show with some Christmas talk, stuff like what I got and all that. It's an awesome segment with some He Man Talk and a ton of other stuff...
Overall I think this is a pretty great episode and I hope you guys dig it as much as I did putting it together..

We have an awesome episode this week! I say that a lot but this time I totally mean it.
I made a Dig Find the other week that was mind blowing to me! We'll talk about that as well as Star Wars and a comic book show that I went to at The Druid's Building here in Santa Rosa. It was small but pretty fun.

Hey kids. We have a real humdinger of a show this week! We're doing two of the things you guys seem to like me to talk about the most in the same feature! We're gonna talk food, AND do a Top 5! Plus, it's Halloween Related.. The Top 5 Halloween Candies Of All The Times! It's gonna be great.
Before we get there though we have to pass through some somber space and confront the passing of Robert Forrester. I was lucky enough to meet Mr. Forrester once and I really wanted to share that story with you guys. He was a nice dude.
For At The Movies we're gonna take a peek at a horror comedy called Zombieland: Double Tap. It's a sequel to a movie that came out ten years ago.. I don't know. We'll talk about it in a spoiler free way.
Then it's on to the Main Event.. The Top 5 Trick Or Treat Candies Of All The Times. This is a pretty fun one. Basically the idea is, when I was sorting out my post Trick Or Treat winnings what were the candies that I gave the highest priority to...? Which ones did I either eat first or save for last? It's a ton of fun.
For the final segment of the show we talk the recent blackout, Megos, Halloween decorations and a bunch of other cool topics.
Thanks for tuning in. Have a happy/spooky Halloween and make sure to tell a friend...

Hey kids! As some of you may know Sonoma County where I live was recently struck with a mandatory blackout due to high winds and such. The fear was that the wind would knock over power poles and start another fire like back a couple years ago.
It was pretty wild. We were without power for days.. During that time I set up a makeshift studio using my mini-recorder and a boombox. My thought was to record a POS or Patreon Only Show but as time went on and I started working on it I began to see that it might be an interesting story for everyone..
I talk about what I did during that time, how we made it through without electricity. What we did for fun how we kept the food fresh all sorts of stuff. It's an overall pretty interesting episode and somewhat newsworthy..
I hope you all enjoy hearing my tales and if you are interested in hearing more stuff like this there are like 10 other POS episodes over on Patreon.. Check it out over at SupportTheReport.com

Then we move onto At The Movies where we're gonna take a spoiler-free peak into The Joker.. DC's latest Comic Book Movie. I enjoyed it and have some thoughts on it and what it means to DC and the world at large..
For the Main Event of the show we're gonna revisit one of my favorite topics of all the times and space.. From Ace To Zartan! This time around we're gonna take a look at all of the GI Joe Real American Hero Figures from 1984. This includes dudes like Zartan, Duke, The Baroness and many others. It's a fun and info packed segment..
We kind of cut the final segment short because From Ace To Zartan went so long.. There is some toy talk and mention of a helmet I got for a Mego of mine.. It's a good time..
Make sure to tell a friend! We need your support to grow the pod into the world wide phenomenon it can be.. lol..
