Are you a Lego Maniac?  Join Carlos and guest James today on GeekFest Rants as they look at the status of their Lego collecting.  Some of us have cut back and some of us have not only double down, but also found new avenues to explore.  And by that we are talking about the world of custom collecting Legos, it they don't make it... make it yourself.

Episode 453 - High Geek Expectations

Have you ever been looking forward to your favorite director's next film and then when you see it, it completely disappoints you?  Well, so have we.  Join Carlos today at GeekFest Rants as he looks at his favorite directors and pinpoints the time when they have disappointed him.  Do directors only have a number of great films in them?  Is there a predictable trajectory to the quality of their films?  Or are our fanboy expectation too high?  Plus, we'll also throw a few superstar actors to see if they suffered a similar fate.

Episode 443 - Zack Snyder's Justice League Review - More Repro Customs Wars

Today on GeekFest Rants Carlos will review Zack Snyder's Justice League.  How does it stand up against Joss Whedon's Justice League.  What about sequels? What about the aspect ratio?  We'll cover it all.  Then we dig a little deeper into the status of two of the biggest and best Repro/Customs Star Wars action figure makers out there, Stan Solo and The Fans Strike Back.  Can these two leaders of the Star Wars Kenner style figure maker movement continue to succeed without destroying each other in the process?  I sure hope so.
