Happy Monday all! We are back with another new show with a whole new roster of topics across the pop culture spectrum. Jason’s voice sounds much better this episode so no more “Lauren Bacall” voice. In this episode Daniel and Jason discuss:
- Jason went on a mini-vacation and saw some movies, including “The Muppets.” Did he like it as much as Daniel?
- Star Wars: Episode 1 made $22.5M in it’s opening weekend. It was only in top 10 for the it’s first 2 weeks of release. Some EP1 stuff already on clearance.
- A fan made trailer for ‘John Carter‘ is better than anything Disney has put out for the film up to this point.
- Is Kevin Smith’s ‘Comic Book Men‘ show doing more harm than good for geek culture?
- And the guys tackle a reader question of: Do you think generic action figure lines can survive in the long term?
- All that and more in Episode 12 of Geek Shall Inherit!

[...] job of explaining just why this type of thing is bad for those who actually do read comics in their latest “Geek Shall Inherit” podcast. “How much of this is even remotely real?”, says Lenzi. And it’s worth listening [...]
Hey guys! Just discovered your podcast via a John Carter fan page on Facebook (go ahead and make him your mascot – you’ll get no complaints from me), and listened to Ep. 12 as my intro to your show. Really enjoyed it! Looking forward to hearing more.
In the meantime, your discussion of AMC’s “Comic Book Men” (which I haven’t yet seen but still am curious to do so, even though I will bear your warnings in mind!) made me think of “The Variants,” a web-based comedy series set in a real LCS, starring real LCS employees. I haven’t watched all of them, but I saw several of their first season and thought it was really great. You might find it fun, too. Here’s the link: http://thevariants.com/
Keep up the good work!
