Three Geeky Dads

This week, we're taking a look at DC's summer release, SUPERGIRL! This film may have underperformed, both critically and at the box-office but, we think this film deserved better. You can hear why we thought that way by listening in on the conversation.

This week, we're taking a look at Almost Famous, the semi-autobiographical story from Cameron Crowe of an up and coming 1970's rock band struggling with the harsh realities of fame... or are we??? April, for us, is April Fool's Month where we say we're looking at one film but, we actually look at something completely different! Listen in and find out what we're really talking about.

In the March of Madness continues here on the podcast as, this week, our very own master of the the macabre and mischief, Marc, brings us another claustrophobic film for us to take a look at. This time, he brings us the Alfred Hitchcock classic, ROPE starring James Stewart. The film tells the story of two brilliant young room mates, Brandon Shaw and Phillip Morgan, who strangle to death their former classmate David in their Manhattan penthouse apartment. They commit the crime as an intellectual exercise: they want to prove their superiority by committing the "perfect murder"...and see if they can get away with it by hiding David's body in a large trunk and then proceed to throw a dinner party where some of the invited guests happen to be David's father and his fiancee. Also present is their former professor, played by James Stewart, who begins to suspect that something is terribly wrong and that Brandon and Phillip are somehow involved. Tune in and find out what we thought.

March is here and that means it's "In the March of Madness" month here at Three Geeky Dads. This month, our own Marc is picking for us 4 movies that all take place in one confined space and, to kick it all off, he's chosen for this week, John Carpenter's 1976 action-thriller, Assault On Precinct 13! It features Austin Stoker as a police officer who defends a defunct precinct against a relentless criminal gang, and Darwin Joston as a death row-bound convict who assists him in defending the police station against the ensuing siege. Tune in and find out what we all thought!!!

We weren't able to record this past week (because...reasons) but, luckily, we had a new ESCAPE POD episode in our pack pockets (almost) ready to release! In this episode, Geeky Dads Marc and Brien join up with Chris and Tristan Ham from the Get Your Shine Box Podcast to talk all things geeky that we liked and disliked in 2025 and we talk all about the geeky things we're looking forward to in the coming year! We're calling ourselves The TRIBBLE ALLIANCE...we would be honored if you would join us!

This week, we wrap up a month long look at our favorite Rob Reiner films with 1987's The Princess Bride. Starring Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Chris Sarandon, Wallace Shawn, Mandy Patinkin, Andre the Giant, Christopher Guest, Billy Crystal, Peter Falk and Fred Savage the film was adapted by William Goldman based on his novel of the same name. It tells the tale of a farmhand named Westley who, after becoming a swashbuckling pirate, is accompanied by companions befriended along the way who helps him in rescuing his true love...the Princess Buttercup from the treacherous Prince Humperdinck! Listen in and find out what we all thought of it.

This week, we continue our look at Rob Reiner films with 1990's MISERY. Best-selling novelist Paul Sheldon is on his way home from his Colorado hideaway after completing his latest book, when he crashes his car in a freak blizzard. Paul is critically injured, but he's rescued by former nurse Annie Wilkes, Paul's "number one fan", who (unbeknownst to anyone) takes Paul back to her remote house in the mountains. Unfortunately for Paul, Annie is also a headcase and, when she discovers that Paul has killed off the heroine in her favorite novels, her reaction leaves Paul terrified and trapped with little hope for escape.

Tradition, it's what makes the holiday season what it is. One beloved holiday tradition is sitting around the TV to watch A Charlie Brown Christmas Special. It's been a holiday staple since it first aired back in 1965 and pretty much everyone knows it and loves it. Another tradition is the 3GD holiday special. For the uninitiated, that's our annual spoof of beloved holiday classics and this year, guess what we've targeted? That's right, this year, we're putting our own dark spin on A Charlie Brown Christmas!
