Hey there Geeksploronauts we are back again for our third debrief. This week we spend an unexpectedly long time talking about the lackluster showing of new trailers, next gen console news, rumors of a new Batman game franchise, and the latest rumblings out of Epic Universe.
And I am just realizing as I am typing this that we forgot to highlight new reviews! Sorry, we will get around to thanking you guys next time.

Are you a fan of Mr Bradbury? Never heard of him, but you're curious? Are you ready to be inspired? Regardless from where you've journeyed, you've ended at the proper destination.
Join the boys as they take an trip down a shared but separate memory lane as they rediscover and share their love for a dude whose mind was a never ending wellspring of creativity. Whether it's on Mars, a rocket exploring the farthest reaches of space, a small town in Illinois, or caught inside your own mind, Bradbury was behind the wheel. Sober or not, he always gave you a fun ride.
We hope this inspires you to get in the car with him and take a trip of your own.

Hello Geeksploronauts it is time for your bi-weekly debrief of all the things (at least the ones we heard about and thought interesting) going on in the geekosphere. This week we talk about who which Green Lanterns we hope to see on HBO, what Superman's costume should look like, a leaked Star Wars script, how much we hope Betelgeuse will just end it already, and the unfortunate passing of comedy icon Terry Jones. We really enjoy doing this show, but if it keeps killing our heroes I don't think we could cope! Anyway, enjoy the show.

Come on out and continue this epic journey as the boys go back to a time when everything was made out of CGI and everyone spoke as if they read a book about how human beings communicate once, but they were dozing off in the middle... And somehow, against all odds, a couple of actors still managed to turn in career performances and enrich the lore in the process!
In the studio today is friend of the show Mason Andreatta, lifelong (quite literally, you'll find) Star Wars fan and quite the Geeksplorinaut himself!
Come enjoy a (bad?) trip down memory lane, as the much maligned prequel trilogy is the next stop on the road to Rise of Skywalker!

Oh boy this episode is a big'un. With the forthcoming release of Rise of Skywalker, Jon and Ben decided it was high time to tackle one of the largest, most loved, and frequently divisive properties in the Geekosphere....STAR WARS! Since this is such a big topic they are going to be splitting it into 3 episodes starting (appropriately enough) with the Original Trilogy. Which film is the best? What character would you like to be? And wouldn't it be awesome if someone made a TV special about a wookiee family? The answer to that last one is a resounding NO! So join us for some good old fashion Star Wars talk.
