"I WANT MY MONEY BACK!"
In this episode, Spike & Chris take a break from providing a peek back at some of the best stuff ever to each provide their list of five(-ish) of the very worst movies of all time: the REFUND MOVIES!

VOCABULARY KILLS - The Chore of Duty 601
"Words mean things."
A simple phrase that belies the wisdom it represents.
In our season 6 premiere, Spike sits down with Chris to look at how words and phrases can change meaning over time. Some change through common agreement, but many politically charged terms are deliberately done by the media's masters...
The Chore of Duty is half political podcast, and half history lesson. As Twain said, "History doesn't always repeat, but it usually rhymes."

TV SCIENCE SHOWS - Back Rack Video 12
Back in the day, when every neighborhood had a video store, in the back of that store were the videos that stood the test of time. These are the BACK RACK VIDEOS!
In an age where "the science" is argued and debated, we're looking back at the best SCIENCE SHOWS in TV history!

BARBENHEIMER REVIEWS - Geekin Out 220
Well, double my displeasure with double the gum (in my perfectly coiffed hair)! It's time for GEEKIN OUT!
This time, it's a review two-fer as Chris takes on OPPENHEIMER (spoiler: loved it) and BARBIE (spoiler: didn't).
In fact, his hate for BARBIE actually force choked our camera! We lost ten minutes of footage where Chris gave it 2.5 out of 5 (that's Netflix fodder), and a lot of Spike explaining his suspicion that Babs' filmmakers may actually be playing the satire card. Could it be?
Think it over as homework, as Spike will touch back on it in episode 221!
So, think pink before you blow up, and keep on GEEKIN OUT!

SOUND OF FREEDOM Review - Aftermath #9
Even alone, when it comes to reviews, we never stop GEEKIN OUT!
In this edition of GeO AFTERMATH, Spike takes on SOUND OF FREEDOM: the new movie starring JIM CAVIEZEL that exposes the world of child sex trafficking through the true story of Tim Ballard, a DHS agent who goes after a pedophile, and quickly finds himself in a much wider and dirtier world.
Spike is already on the record about the global issues of slavery in general, and sex slavery in particular, but when kids are thrown into that particular evil...
Hear the review, or don't, but definitely SEE THIS FILM!

MO LITTLE MERMAID - Geekin Out AFTERMATH #7
Well, THAT took a while.
As promised, here's Chris' long-awaited review of DISNEY's LITTLE MERMAID remake. So, did he like it, or did he LIKE IT like it? Or was it merely so okay?
But that would be telling.
