Geek Fights 119: Best Of John Williams
Tuesday Sep 18, 2012
Tuesday Sep 18, 2012
Only a few people have truly defined the modern geek experience. Lucas, Roddenberry, Asimov, Bradbury, Spielberg, Whedon, Lee, Kirby, Tolkien and others, but none has touched as wide a range as the subject of this weeks Geek Fight. He not only provided the soundtracks to Star Wars, Superman, Jaws, Close Encounters, Raiders of the Lost Ark, ET and Harry Potter, he damn near provided the soundtrack for being a geek. Join Damon Shaw, Mike Ortiz, Michael Felsher (maybe?) Dominick Williams and Chris Fiore as they sing the praises of the BEST OF JOHN WILLIAMS. We don't know what was up with Michael, don't ask. Maybe John Williams awesomeness made is so he couldn't spew any hate and his brain imploded. Maybe he was just having fun. I'm not sure, but if John Williams did the soundtrack to this episode it would be awesome. If John Williams wanted to do a Geek Fights theme, we would probably have to dump Jerad's intros. Sorry Jerad, maybe we just make them the break. We love you, but it's John "I did the score for Star Wars AND Raiders AND Superman AND Jaws AND Harry Potter AND a lot more, and you didn't, so step the f*ck off" Williams. Hell if he wanted to host or co-host the show we'd have to let him. His geek cred is that strong. After all He is John "Didn't you see my cred in my last quotation mark middle name" Williams. Brackets as usual: PDF and Excel format.

Geek Fights 116: Best Mentor

Tuesday Aug 28, 2012
They are teachers, guides, masters and trainers. Not Geeks Fights. We will not help you on your journey.

There's words of wisdom aplenty, people get all teary, and for some reason Bane shows up. I'm not sure why. He's not a mentor. I guess he is Geek Fights' reckoning. Brackets as usual: PDF and Excel format.

Geek Fights 104: Best Mike
Monday Jun 04, 2012
Monday Jun 04, 2012
Yeah this has got to be our strangest topic ever. 32 Mike or Michaels, with 4 on the panel. Damon (Mike) Shaw, Mike Ortiz, Michael Felsher, Mike Diskin and Mike Patanjo discuss the BEST MIKE (OR MICHAEL). Who came up with this? Seriously has anyone ever had this discussion. Has anyone ever asked "Hmm I wonder who the best guy named Mike is?" Do you realize it's consistently one of the top male names in the U.S. It was number one from 1961 to 1998. then it dropped to number 2 from 1999 to 2008 after Jacob. It dropped out of the top 5 only in 2012 for the first time since 1948. It's a common name so it's no wonder there are a lot on our show, and a lot in popular culture. A lot more than Jayden will be, or Noah, seriously how did they bump Michael out of the top 5. Parents are stupid these days. Here are the brackets: PDF and Excel format.
