BONUS! Ahsoka Essentials and why Chopper is your new favorite
So it turns out Ahsoka is your new favorite... or maybe it's Sabine... if it's neither it's obviously Chopper. The problem is, you wanna learn more but you don't know where to start.
We have excellent news for you! Bryce hit record right as he and Bryan were discussing this exact subject and before you could say Follow the white Loth-cat, a bonus episode was formed.
We go through some of the key moments to watch without being too spoilery!
What episodes do you think are quintessential Ahsoka plot points?
The History of the Blue Beetle Part 2! Scarab Boogaloo!
"Let's split that Blue Beetle episode into two parts!" Bryan and Bryce said excitedly.
Our comic historian Dave Ziegler is back again with us this week as we get to the second part of our Blue Beetle History.
Then we talk about what we're reading for a while.
Maybe those "what are you reading?" bits should be their own episodes at this point... Hmm... What was I saying? Oh yeah, I was telling you about this episode. It's great. Go see Blue Beetle when you're done listening. We hear it's really good.

The History of the Blue Beetle Part 1
Did you know the Blue Beetle comic is almost as old as Super Man? Or that he wasn't originally owned by DC? Or that there was a team of super heroes called the Mystery Men and no one on that team even bowled? Well we didn't, and that's why Bryce went over to our favorite Comic Historian Dave's house to record a podcast episode remote with Bryan back at home as the man in the chair.
Blue Beetle is in theaters August 18th, and you can learn all about Jaime's (and a few other Blue Beetles) history here on Sneaky Geek!
2023 SDCC Recap! Piecing it all together
The whirlwind blur of SDCC has come and gone.
Bryan and Bryce try to piece together what exactly happened and when after only a week of being back home.
After-parties, panel cancellations, signings, trailer drops and so much more happened! Have a listen and do your best to follow along. Let us know in the comments what you thought of Comic-Con this year!
Weekend at Visions! Part 2
The long awaited second half of our WandaVision episode is finally here!
Obviously, after so many current and up-to-date episodes, the best thing to do would be to keep our momentum going with an episode about something that was totally relevant two years ago
You're welcome for our genius career move to let you hear something recorded about a character who isn't even in current MCU things. It makes TOTAL sense that we're doing this.
Indiana Jones teaches Indiana Jones how to Indiana Jones
Bonus episode!
We know it's off schedule but Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny came out last week and we felt compelled to do a quick review! This is Harrison Ford's swan song for his clearly preferred franchise.
We happened to like the film very much so don't expect a ton of complaining from us.
Three Marios: Mario Mario and Luigi Mario
The Illumination Super Mario movie was great, but before Mario could run with his arms stretched out wearing a tanuki costume, Bob Hoskins had to drunkenly walk with a couple of broken fingers, in weird shoes, next to John Leguizamo, also drunk... and with a fractured leg...
and through that pain, we got the truest form of art.
We caught up with our Video Game Historian, Nick Fratto to talk all about the bizarre story of the original masterpiece that is the 1993 Hollywood Pictures dystopian classic, Super Mario Bros.
All the geek things that happened during the pandemic (And then some)
After an almost two year hiatus, Sneaky Geek is back with a vengeance! A new season of Sneaky Geek is upon us and we've missed quite a bit since we last hung out.
So let's catch up and go over what we missed. We're going to rapid fire through as many things that we missed since the world shut down!
Ms. Marvel!
Falcon Winter Soldier!
John Wick!
Godzilla vs. Kong!
Mortal Kombat!
Comic-Con: Special Edition – Putting the Calm in Comic-Con
It's that time of year again! Comic-Con is here! Except this time, it's special! November 26th through 28th marked the first ever Comic-Con Special Edition. So instead of Black Friday shopping, we went to the exhibit hall!
Joining us on the podcast today are Bridget Kelley and Nicole Jones to talk about their first con experience, we also reflect on past cons and what what the absence of Marvel, DC, and film & television meant for a con as big as this one.
