Welcome back to another exciting episode of Whatcha’ Watchin’ presented by Geeky a Go Go. This week, we had a blast catching up with our hosts, AP, Nitro, and the triumphant return of Eric from his Taiwanese adventures. From space odysseys to mythological showdowns, spooky season treats, and even a dash of feline charm, this episode has it all. Let's dive into the highlights!

Whatch’ Watchin’

• Nitro's List
  • KAOS on Netflix: A modern retelling of Greek mythology, captivated Nitro with its star-studded cast but left Nitro with mixed feelings due to creative liberties taken with the myths.
  • Sweet Tooth on Netflix: A post-apocalyptic adventure featuring human-animal hybrids, gets a thumbs up from Nitro. He likens it to "The Last of Us" but geared towards a younger audience.
• Eric's List
  • Agatha All Along on Disney+: This new Disney+ show has Eric under its spell. This WandaVision spinoff, with its intriguing cast and suspenseful plot, is a perfect watch for the Halloween season.
  • Red Cat Ramen on Crunchyroll: Eric delights in this anime about talking cats running a ramen shop, highlighting its humor and charm.
• AP’s List
  • Apollo 13: Survival on Netflix: A gripping documentary about the ill-fated mission left AP on the edge of his seat. The real footage and voices add a layer of authenticity that's hard to beat.
  • Apartment 7A on Paramount+: AP enjoyed this prequel to "Rosemary's Baby," despite its mixed critical reception.

That's a wrap for this week's episode. Remember to follow @geekyagogo on Facebook and Instagram, share your watching recommendations, and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform.

Welcome back to Whatcha' Watchin', where AP, Nitro, and Eric (world traveler extraordinaire) dissect their latest screen obsessions. This week: HBO Max's Penguin, the mind-bending I Saw the TV Glow, Netflix's Union, and the return of the Ghost with the Most in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

Highlights and Lowlights

AP's week was a mixed bag. A trip to Lancaster County, PA (Amish paradise!) provided the high point, complete with stunning farmland, delicious food, and dreams of visiting the aptly-named Dutch Wonderland theme park. But back in the real world, a vacuum former project for Comic Con proved a frustrating low, with malfunctioning parts and a looming deadline.

Nitro, meanwhile, suffered the modern-day scourge of credit card theft (over $1,000 in golf club grips?!). But the sting was soothed by attending The Penguin premiere, complete with red carpet, early screening, and a meet-up with composer Michael Giacchino (and son Mic, who also worked on the show's score).

Whatcha' Watchin'

The Penguin (Nitro): Taking place ten days after The Batman, this HBO Max series is a gritty, grounded take on the iconic villain. Colin Farrell nails it, and Nitro's hyped for more.

Check out the trailer:

I Saw the TV Glow (AP): This psychological drama on Max, starring Brigette Lundy-Paine and Justice Smith, is more coming-of-age than horror. Think cerebral "what ifs" and a killer soundtrack. AP loved it, his wife, not so much.

Check out the trailer:

Union (Nitro): Mark Wahlberg, Halle Berry, and JK Simmons in a spy action comedy on Netflix. Perfect background noise for chores, but don't expect a masterpiece.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (AP): The sequel that actually delivers! Michael Keaton is back and hilarious, with a perfect blend of old and new. Highly recommended for fans and newbies alike.

He emphasized the captivating blend of world-building and character development that makes Middle-earth so special. Nitro also expressed his fondness for Tolkien's work, recalling his early exposure to "The Hobbit" and how the "Lord of the Rings" films provided solace during a challenging time.

Rings of Power: Season One Recap and Season Two Excitement

Nitro provided a quick recap of the first season, highlighting key plot points and character developments. Nitro and Taylor expressed their enthusiasm for the second season, praising its faster pace, escalating events, and fresh perspective on the source material.

This week, the boys share the rollercoaster ride that is the back-to-school season in Jersey, filled with bus delays, new friends, half days, and headaches! Then Nitro shares the saga of his subscription-based Ironman model kit frustrations (more on that in our Patreon members-only After Party) while AP chats about his upcoming travel schedule where he’ll do a record (for himself) eight flights in three days!

On to our first round of Whatcha’ Watchin’ – have you ever wondered what happens when Studio Ghibli meets interstellar survival? Enter "Scavenger's Reign," the animated series that makes you question every alien planet survival guide you've ever read. Now streaming on Netflix after being canceled by Max, this show follows the survivors of a wrecked cargo ship as they navigate a bizarre alien world filled with telepathic predators and otherworldly creatures. Notable voices like Alia Shawkat, Sunita Mani, and Wunmi Mosaku breathe life into this trippy ecosystem, and the show's success has us all crossing our fingers for a second season.

Round two sees nostalgia kick into high gear with the latest installment of the Beverly Hills Cop series. Eddie Murphy is back, and he's bringing the laughs, the action, and a few sentimental tears. Nitro talks about the film's nods to aging characters and the addition of fresh faces like Joseph Gordon-Levitt and speculates on what this could mean for Eddie Murphy's career. Is there a sequel to The Golden Child on the horizon?

Tune in to relive the good old days while catching up on what's new in the entertainment world! Check out the trailers below, and as always, may your queues be inspired.

Despite its stellar cast, the much-hyped Borderlands movie left us scratching our heads. Listen as we dissect why this cinematic adaptation, featuring big names like Cate Blanchett, Jack Black, and Kevin Hart, fell flat. From questionable editing to narrative flaws, we discuss whether Lionsgate was the right studio to helm such a big-budget project. We also explore how it compares to other successful video game adaptations, like HBO's "The Last of Us" and Amazon Prime's "Fallout," lamenting the missed opportunities that could have made Borderlands a hit.

Next, Nitro dives into his review of "House of the Dragon" Season 2. Initially perplexed by character time jumps, Nitro found the storyline captivating once it settled. Finally, we embark on a nostalgic ride with the Apple TV Plus remake of "Time Bandits," created by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi. With an exceptional cast and brilliant writing, this series pays homage to the original 1981 film while offering fresh, engaging storytelling. Don't miss AP’s thoughts on why this remake is a must-watch!
