Episode 28

Welcome to our super awesome holiday special!  We chat about our favorite holiday movies, songs and stuff!  We also chat some geek news, and declare Planet X Podcast a Star Wars spoilers free zone until 2016!  Of course there's also holiday beer: Great Lakes Brewing Company's Christmas Ale.

Episode 27

This is how we do it, Planet X style!  Check out our classic monster movie casting showdown! Geek news features Star Wars Battlefront, Fallout IV, Iron Fist, the Mummy, Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse and much more!

This week's good (and bad) jokes were brought to you by Black Tie Chocolate Vanilla Porter - Lake Placid Craft Brewing Company!

Episode 26

Another classy show for Planet X Podcast as we discuss the merits of sheepskin condoms! On the very busy geek front we chat trailer wars between Captain America: Civil War and Batman V Superman, Jessica Jones, the Flash / Arrow crossover, Star Wars Battlefront vs Fallout 4, the new Batman game for 2016, as well as Peter Jackson and Doctor Who. In a touching moment of honesty, our hosts also confess their biggest geek sins, and are rightfully mocked.

This episode's buzz was brought to you by Leinenkugel's Snowdraft Vanilla Porter.

Listen to our first ever special episode with a very memorable guest!  Ed Greenwood, legendary creator of Forgotten Realms, the biggest D&D setting ever created, joins Ken, Jay and Marie for a chat about his new, revolutionary publishing venture!  But Ed stepped onto Planet X and was therefore also subjected to games, swearing and silliness. He fit in perfectly and shared personal stories and crazy anecdotes.  Don't miss the fun!

Episode 19

Exciting news on the DC front - Arrow finally called himself the Green Arrow! Well, okay, that's not at all exciting. Which is why we also discuss loads of other cool geek news, like Star Wars Battlefront, King Kong vs. Godzilla, and the recently announced Hellfire and Legion shows, plus lots more!

Ken's beer of the week was Shock Top's Pumpkin Wheat, a delight that left him (mostly) coherent.

Episode 18

Marvel is shifting its schedule with The Wasp pushing back Captain Marvel (WTF, Marvel?), DC continues to hit a home run with The Flash, The Exorcist is still terrifying, and Jay brings up a traumatic experience from Marie's past with a seemingly harmless question.

This week's picks:

Jay, our own TV producer, decided to put Ken and Marie to the pitching test by giving them a random title for them to pitch. It goes well for Ken. It goes strangely for Marie.

See you next week!

Episode 13

Lucky 13! We play it fast and loose by chatting about Marvel's meltdown, Doctor Who and Wes Craven.  Jay asked Marie and Ken some quick fire questions, and forced them to decide terribly difficult geeky things. It was horrible. There *may* have been tears.
