Happy Monday everyone and welcome to a super-sized episode of ‘Geek Shall Inherit’ which if you listen to how Jason pitches it, it might be our most important episode to date! This 80 minute episode should not be listened to while operating heavy machinery, but feel free to parse it out over this week on your morning commute. We cover a lot of topics in this episode, such as:
- We launch our “new feature” – Let’s talk more about John Carter – or as Jason called it: The Curious Case of John Carter.
- Daniel’s brush with the Rocketeer.
- Jason finally saw TIN TIN on BluRay.
- WonderCon 2012 just happened this weekend (more on that in next Monday’s episode!)
- In “Things We Are Excited About”
Daniel- Can finally build his ‘Young Justice Hall of Justice, the return of ‘Falling Skies’ (and then we vear off course and talk about ‘Terra Nova‘ and ‘Primeval‘)
Jason- received his Ralph McQuarrie prints from ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Raiders’ that he ordered the week before his passing… and we learn that Jason was in a Prince video!!!
- Comic Con 2012 sold out in 3 hours.
- ‘Comic Con Episode 4: A Fan’s Hope’ the documentary.
- Daniel’s toy surprise this past week.
- Casting for the “King of the Nerds” reality show.
- Daniel took a trip to the new DC Entertainment offices in Burbank
All that and much more!

Kudos on the Herb Tarlek reference.
John Carter will end up costing Disney about 200 million dollars

I didn’t think it possible but you guys surpassed Pod 14. This had to be the funniest and most entertaining one yet. The bickering is hilarious. Please post a link to Endorphin Machine. I didn’t see it on youtube.
Do you guys have any thoughts on why we haven’t seen a toy line based on the 1966 Batman?
Feel free to add a “Donate” button. I’d gladly toss in a couple bucks.
Re: Comic Book Men
I watched 3 episodes today & was ready to hate it. Kevin’s fallen very far in my eyes over the past decade and I have a particular sense about the culture of comics having done my senior thesis on the subject. I found the show to be entertaining and didn’t cringe at any moments. These are essentially the dudes you find running comic book shops. The debates are forced, obviously suggested from a producer, but it’s the type of stuff we debated as kids. They’re kind and courteous to the customers, the place is clean and organized and there aren’t random teenagers in a intense Magic the Gathering game huddled around several fold out tables. Yes, it’s being filmed but we should wish all stores are 1/2 this nice. Plus, how long before the comic store is all but gone? It’s nice to have this environment documented on some level. I’d be curious for you both to give specific examples of what really offended.
Great episode, and yes continue making future eps longer!
And Daniel please post some pics of those new Batman figures!
You might have found a hair but back when the OG Ninja Turtles sewer playset came out I found a badge of one of the workers in mine. I got it for christmas and when I opened it and started putting it together a workers badge fell out of the box along with the parts to put it together. The badge looked like it had broken where it would clip on to a lanyard. It was a nice bonus to my toy.
