Episode 184 - Godzilla (1998) - Geek Commentary

We can only imagine how this movie was pitched to the studio, "...think Jurassic Park meets The Muppets Take Manhattan...."  Today we really put the Rants on Geekfest Rants.  Join us as we take a different approach to our film commentaries as Carlos and the two Mikes(specially Mike Sutton) rip apart 1998's (whatever the opposite of classic is) Godzilla.  This movie has everything you want on a film.  From more product placements than good reviews to the dramatic emotional tones of Saved By The Bell.

Episode 183 - "What A Piece Of Junk" - The Millennium Falcon - Part 2

“You’ve never heard of the Millennium Falcon?…It’s the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs.“  

A parsec is a unit of distance equal to 3.26 light years.  We did not know that. So, if you are interested in some other important Millennium Falcon facts, like how many cargo holds it has, where are the escape pods located, what defensive modification has Han Solo done to the Falcon, what else can you do on the holochess table, or what kind of toys have they made of this iconic ship, you've come to the right place. Join Carlos and James as today on Geekfest Rants they conclude their special on all things Millennium Falcon.

Will NBC’s “Believe” and ABC’s “Resurrection” Convey Emotional and Spiritual Truths? - by Tony Rossi

With titles like “Believe” and “Resurrection,” you might think that two new TV series include a religious, or at least supernatural, dimension. But do they really?

“Believe” premieres on NBC Monday March 11 at 10pm, and stems from an impressive pedigree, with executive producers that include J.J. Abrams (“Lost,” “Fringe”) and Academy Award winner Alfonso Cuaron (“Gravity”). In fact, “Believe’s” pilot was directed by Cuaron.

The show tells the story of a ten-year-old girl named Bo (Johnny Sequoyah), who was born with mysterious powers that include an ability to see the future, read minds, levitate objects, and control nature. Seemingly an orphan, Bo is living with foster parents as the series begins, though she is protected from afar by Milton Winter (Delroy Lindo) and his crew, who are trying to keep evil rich guy Roman Skouras (Kyle MacLachlan) from getting his power-hungry hands on her.
