Oh, hi Mark! The New York Geeks discuss both the good and the bad of cult films: wading their way through cult criteria, and sharing their top 10 list of classically esoteric cinematic selections.
In this episode we discuss what we love/hate about Apple, Microsoft and everything in between. We also try in vain to get Ben Oviatt on Skype and somehow relate everything to ducks and quacking!
We also have a new segment called “Where’s Nelson?!?” where you listen to an audio clip (in episode) of me describing a location that you have to guess. You can e-mail us at thegeeks@nygeekcast.com with the answer and if you guess the location correctly you’ll get a cool prize.
Join the geeks as they descend upon the NY comic con for 3 days of pop culture madness…including a Q&A with Pete Docter from Pixar, a Penny Arcade panel, witty commentary on games like Ghostbusters & Madworld, and Plaid Spiderman!
If you like our show and listen frequently we appreciate any dime you can spare, we’ll put it to good use. Thanks for listening!
