Not Funny Ha Ha, Funny Peculiar - Week of 11/25/20
The Fellowship of the Geeks Podcast
The Fellowship is pleased to present our latest Casting Call episode, this time for an Avengers film in 1967. This is a very different team than the one in the recent film franchise, and that might just send us off in some wildly varied directions. And since this is set decades ago, you may need our old friend Google to figure out who the heck we're picking in some cases 🙂. Plus our usual tangents galore and our comics picks of the week.

Learning to Fake It Better - Week of 11/18/20
The Fellowship of the Geeks Podcast
The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of GoldenEye (1995), the first 007 movie that starred Pierce Brosnan.

We discuss the history of 007, the diversity of actors who played the role, the role of story in action films, and a bunch of stuff in between. Plus our usual tangents galore and our comics picks of the week.
