Welcome to the Fellowship of the Geeks! We love to talk about comics and the issues that surround them. Join Thomas, Mike, Liz and Les for some four-color conversations and a chuckle or two. And Read More Comics!
The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of the animated cult classic movie The Iron Giant (1999). It bombed in theaters, but won awards and has a wonderful reputation – weird, huh? Plus our usual crazy talk, geek news, and tangents🙂.
What we’re up to this week:
Sorry for missing (another) week – tech issues, starting the Witcher novels, the rain we’ve had here and its unusual consequences, The Flying Saucer (1950) on Tubi, Free Comic Book Day stories, YouTube recommendation weirdness and canceled TV shows of the past
And here’s a link to Robert’s Retro Rewind
Come see the articles we talked about in the Geek News segment on the website!

Multiverse Tonight is a geeky podcast that brings you all the latest news about your favourite TV shows and movies. Every other week, we cover DC Comics, Marvel, Star Trek and everything in between! This podcast has you covered with any big story or scoop on all of your fandoms.
Discover the nostalgic charm and future excitement of geek culture as we cover everything from the Blu-ray release of the classic '90s Flash series to the star-studded news of Marvel's 'Fantastic Four'. Tune in for a peculiar twist with the mystery of Alligator Loki's vanishing act and join us as we root for his safe return. We're also talking about the latest scheduling changes from Sony, including the delay of 'Kraven the Hunter' and the anticipation building around the 'Karate Kid' sequel. And, if the White House ever seemed dull to you, wait until you hear about Mark Hamill's whimsical appearance ahead of Star Wars Day.
The episode takes a heartfelt turn with Joey Henney's search for his alligator pal, Wally, while also giving a nod to the legends of sci-fi with a special dedication at Pinewood Toronto Studios in honor of Star Trek. Gamers and board game enthusiasts will be eager to explore 'The Mandalorian Adventures', promising a card-based journey into the beloved Star Wars universe. On the flip side, I share a touching tribute to the late, great Bernard Hill, whose roles have left an indelible mark on our hearts. Strap in for a podcast episode that's packed with the perfect blend of retrospective joy and anticipation for what's to come in the geek-sphere.
