Hey kids! Thanks for stopping by. We have a super fun show ahead of us this week. We start off with some talk about the Earth Base and my office and how I moved stuff around.
From there we talk on a movie I saw called The Darkest Hour. It's about Winston Churchill. I really dug it but the wife fell asleep for a minute.
Then it's onto the main event of the show where we take a look at the big list of movies I saw over the last year. I took in 75. That's not bad but I wanted a solid 100.. What can you do? I tried.
For the last segment we chat about a Star Wars figure I bought and some TV shows I've been watching...

What's better than a 47 year old arguing with a 19 year old about the script of The Last Jedi? Are these films made for people of different ages? Will we ever drink milk again? Where will these films take us next?

Hey everyone, at long last the “Mr. Sensational” Gino Vega Podcast is BACK! My podcasting was seriously derailed by the Northern CA fires in October, but I finally managed to get things together and come up with another installment of The World’s Most Mundane Podcast.
That’s right, we’re BACK, baby! And that means another hour or so of rambling, tangential talk—this time somewhat centered around my Grandma’s recent funeral and memories I have of playing with my Atari 2600/Sears Video Arcade as a kid. Check it out if you’re so inclined, and don’t forget to visit www.iseerobots.com for all the great content on the I See Robots Radio Network!

"This is not going to go the way you think". Wow, Luke was not kidding. Today on GeekFest Rants, Carlos takes a first look at Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Probably the most divisive Star Wars film so far.
We will go scene by scene and pick apart every wonderful and awful thing about the latest entry in the Star Wars saga. Is this film faithful to the original Lucas vision or even The Force Awakens?
Where will this go next? Where does it stand among all other Star Wars films? Is this the greatest one ever or the worse one? And keep in mind, we only saw it once.
