Geek Fights 107: Best Star Trek Movie
Monday Jun 25, 2012
Monday Jun 25, 2012
This is it, the colossal 2 year anniversary show. We assembled the top geek fighters, each with 10 appearances or more to discuss one of the big geek questions. Join Damon Shaw, Mike Ortiz, Michael Felsher, Pete Lucas, Brian Townsend, Kathy Lehman, Jerad Formby, Chuck Farrell, Karin, Allen and Juan Patino, yes ELEVEN panelists, our biggest full panel ever for one of the biggest topics ever, the BEST STAR TREK MOVIE. To get 16 entries we had to be lenient in our definition of a Star Trek movie, but we did, and we got a doozy of a show. It's pretty chaotic with this many people, especially when such seasoned veterans are involved. It gets a little crazy and sometimes even a little mean. Our anniversary shows can be a bit... rambunctious? I fear our 3 year anniversary... Anyway here are the brackets: PDF and Excel format.

Join Damon Shaw, Mike Oritz, Michael Felsher, Brian Townsend & Pete Lucas as they attempt to discuss the a BEST AND WORST ORIGINAL STAR TREK MOVIE. Good thing we change formats, I don't think this show would have lasted...

Geek Fights Bonus: Star Trek II Nitpickers Commentary
Tuesday Jun 12, 2012
Tuesday Jun 12, 2012
It's another bonus episode, and once again it's a Geek Fights/Souless Minions of Orthodoxy commentary, and once again it's a Star Trek movie. This time it's Star Trek 2, but with a twist! This is a nitpicker commentary, where we take one of the most revered, most acclaimed, most important movies in all geekdom, and we rip it apart (lovingly). Listen to Damon Shaw, Mike Ortiz and Josh Bradley as they point every inconsistency, contrivance, plot hole and just plain strange idea. But we really do love this movie. Really. It's great stuff, despite what we say about it.
