Holy 14th episode, Batman! The Guys celebrate 80 years of the Dark Knight.
First up, our regular Geek of the Week segment; Art talks about the landmark 1000th issue of Detective Comics. Jay shares the Forbes list of fictional millionaires which features Bruce Wayne (Spoiler alert: that's Batman's secret identity). Robbie shares the incredible story of a group of students that performed Alien as their high school play. Yes. THAT Alien.
Next, the Dynamic...er, Trio? engage in a lightning round of our Bat favorites: actors, villains, movies, TV series, and more. Some answers will surprise you. They surprised us!

The Guys start lucky number 13 with a random comment about a "baker's dozen" which completely derails the podcast into a discussion of donuts. Robbie and Jay have strong opinions about where to get the best donuts in our area and beyond, while Art just seems a bit glazed.

It's a marvel we've gotten this far.
Art brings the Gunn, Jay brings the blue milk, and Rob brings the Dot Matrix Music.
Imagine "Eye of the Tiger" played by a dot matrix printer? Not really? Listen on.
The Guys then hit the Marvel universe and talk Captain Marvel and flerkens.

Who are these Guys again?
On epic episode 11 they rehash who they are, then wonder aloud about Rob Reiner’s best movie. (Why? Why not.)
Art and Robbie rake Jay over the hot fuzzy coals because he dared to watch a movie the wrong way. The "Geeks of a Certain Week" segment features cartoon camp, Oreo-pinions, and a story of life-saving taco sauce.
Then Art exits the studio to eat (and maybe go to work) while Jay and Robbie stay behind and just talk about eating. Listen for Big Green Egg tips, Robbie’s explanation of the sous vide method, and Jay’s current obsession with all things coffee.

Yeah, The Guys made fun of them and asked if they were still relevant to the movie-watching public, but still found a way to spend an entire episode talking about the Oscars.
In the spirit of their current favorite game, "6 Degrees from Kevin Bacon", Art, Robbie, and Jay all have stories: an Oscar winner they actually know, a celebrity asked to sign a book he didn’t write, and a perennial nominee (and finally a winner) who may or may not have been spotted in a NYC comic store.
Jay's education continues as Robbie explains technical Oscar award terms, and reminds him that we are recording, not taping.

In this episode's Geek of a Certain Week segment the guys mourn a Monkee, go retro with Hasbro on their new OLD Star Wars action figures, get in touch with the movie Tag, and wonder if Samsung's latest announcements mark the death of BluRay and the birth of the practical foldable smartphone.

Part the Second of The Guys discussing all things book-related.
How do we read: paper, Kindle or audio? And how important is the smell of the book? Art and Robbie introduce Jay to their favorite gateway books for the Sci-Fi and Fantasy genres, including one that involves spice worms (not to be confused with the Girls of a Certain Group).
Special guest Jake Jones, GOCA producer/editor/mascot, joins The Guys as they contemplate the age old question: Is it better to see the movie first or read the book? And as expected…the book discussion ends with a rehashing of the finale of the Newhart show.

Do guys of a certain age watch or even pay attention to the Grammys? How has streaming changed music awards?
Bonus content: Throat bongos to the tune of "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" by Art.
The guys then leave electronics behind and jump into the wonderful world of reading.
What have they read? What are they reading? Can they even read?
All questions will be answered.
NERD ALERT: Learn which one of the guys has an exhaustive log of almost EVERY book he has read.
