Roland Redux Part Deux
Sunday Jul 23, 2023
Sunday Jul 23, 2023
The Guy Band is back together - it’s like a boy band, but much, much older.
Apparently Jay is not on strike any more, though it’s uncertain if he was part of the rider’s strike or the sad actors. In fact, he’s hoping to get the Guys invited to the 2025 Comic-Con Cruise, since nobody else seems to be scheduled yet. Art the Birthday Guy brings news of Aquaman 2’s reshoots, rewrites, and disappearance of a famous bat. And Robbie quotes James Cameron in the wake of all the chatter regarding AI, CGPT, and LMNOP.
No doubt, listeners are hungry to resist part two of Robbie’s interview with Roland Mann.
Mr. Mann takes the true believer through his Silverline journey with slight detours through fairy tales and classic American literature all the way up to his latest Kickstarter. And his inside connections on how to get a comic printed quickly. (NOTE: The Kickstarter mentioned int his interview finished. there are ongoing at Silverline.)

Roland Revisited
Sunday Jul 16, 2023
Sunday Jul 16, 2023
The Guys dust off a oldie but goody as they bring back an interview with Roland Mann, comic book writer/editor/publisher of Silverline comics. Roland talks about his career in the comic book industry that started in a grocery story somewhere in 1970's Mississippi and took him to Marvel comics.
But first, Robbie and Art hit with some Geeks of the Week that involve more Superman: Legacy casting, a sneak peek at Ashoka and talk of Jay's stand in solidarity with the various parties in Hollywood by boycotting the podcast. But someone forgot to tell him, he's not a union member or is getting paid....

Gone in a Flash
Sunday Jul 09, 2023
Sunday Jul 09, 2023
Three Guys went to the theater. They were told it was to be a part of a flash mob. Turns out, it was The Flash movie. And there wasn’t a mob. But they liked the movie, anyway!
Despite the record numbers of viewers not viewing the movie, apparently, The Guys gave it three thumbs up. Art appreciated the acting, Robbie enjoyed all the fan service, and for Jay it redeemed the time travel/multiverse conundrum he had become weary of. Win, win, win.
Geeks of the Week abounded this time around: disgruntled rumblings around AI animation, the new Superman and the Marvelous Lois, and Russell Crowe’s role rut in three different super-studios. And that’s just round one. Speed over to your local cinema and see The Flash with 20 million of your closest friends. Then listen to this spoiler-filled episode. Or the other way around.

Vote For Pedro
Sunday Jul 02, 2023
Sunday Jul 02, 2023
In this week’s episode, The Guys vote for Pedro. But even if they didn’t cast three resounding “Yes” votes for Mr. Pascal, it seems the rest of the world is doing just that. He’s the man of the moment on all the screens, large and small.
And when it comes to geek cred, he’s got Star Wars cred, superhero movie cred, video-game-come-tv-series cred, GoT cred - he even killed it on SNL. Definitely worthy of respect, and most certainly worthy of a GOCA episode of his own.
Geeks of the Week pay respects to Treat Williams (aka uncredited Star Wars base trooper) and John Romita, Sr. (who had great Spidey-sense), and share news of The Brave and the Bold. The Guys all voted: you should listen to this one.

Seeing Apple Vision
Monday Jun 26, 2023
Monday Jun 26, 2023
WWDC 2023 has come and gone, and Apple had several big software and hardware announcements, but none bigger than the Vision Pro. Coming out in 2024, Apple's entry into the world of "spatial computing" comes with a lot of promise and a hefty price tag. It's the first new product from Apple in several years, but is this VR headset something Robbie and Art see in their future?
Our Geeks of the Week include shots fired at the MCU from Across the Multiverse, and, in true timey-wimey fashion, a favorite companion from the past joins Dr. Who in future episodes.

The Ghost of GOCA Past
Saturday Jun 17, 2023
Saturday Jun 17, 2023
On this week’s episode, it’s Art and Jay in Studio Two, ghosted once again by Robbie, who was apparently out taking pictures of fish. Or was it cats. They don’t know. [Editor's note: Jay only listens to his mom and his wife; we can't expect him to actually listen to the other 2 Guys.]
But that gave them time to talk about one of the feel-good movies of early summer that Robbie hadn’t watched. Surprise, it’s Ghosted, with Ana De Armas and Chris Evans. Even with the star power of the leads, there are so many more cameos and big names who said, “Sure, I’ll show up for a few minutes and get paid - this looks like fun!” And it was. No Oscars will be harmed due to the filming of this movie, but it’s worth a watch. Talking to you, Robbie.
And in the news of geekdom this week, Spiderverse fans are celebrating a young videographer whose skills with Lego animation brought him near-instant fame, while in another of the multi-spider-verses the MCU gets a bit of a dis. The Taxman cometh - The Guys say let her in.

This Might Be All You Get
Friday Jun 09, 2023
Friday Jun 09, 2023
It’s one of those bittersweet moments in life. You’ve got a show you love, that keeps on giving. Then it comes to an end, but it comes to an end in a way that makes you happy. Three out of three Guys agree: Ted Lasso is must-see Apple TV. Of course, almost every episode of Ted Lasso over the course of its three-season life made fans happy in some form or fashion, whether it was the sports aspect, the rom-com element, or the quotable quotes from…well…almost every character. With the series finale (or is it?) still looming large in the rearview mirror, The Guys talk story arcs and wonder with the rest of the world what might be next for the now-beloved characters.
Meanwhile, back in the USA and galaxies far, far away, one actor trades his Boba Fett helmet for another, four other fantastic actors may or may not be slated for a new set of old Marvel quadruplets, and it looks like Strange New Worlds will live long and prosper - at least for a second season. Come for the geeks, stay for biscuits with the boss.

No sign of intelligent life, artificial or otherwise
Sunday Jun 04, 2023
Sunday Jun 04, 2023
With Jay out for the week, Robbie and Art explore the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on visual media in this episode of "Guys of a Certain Age,"
The main segment focuses on the impact of AI on video and artwork. Robbie and Art delve into the advancements of AI, specifically computer-generated imagery and video. They also discuss voice cloning and the possibilty of having Jay appear on the show, whether he's in town or not.

Disney Minus
Saturday May 27, 2023
Saturday May 27, 2023
If you run out of news, just check in and see what Disney is up to. Or listen to this episode, where the Guys chat (not gpt) about all the things going down at the House of Mouse. New HQ scrapped, but new ESPN streaming in the works. Loki and Echo to come, but lots of other shows on the chopping block.
And while the Guys are still waiting for a listener to sponsor a field trip to the Galactic Cruiser experience, it sounds like their opportunity to save the galaxy in 72 hours or less is coming to a close. Seems like Disney is like Mississippi weather…if you don’t like it, give it a few minutes and it will change. Jay goes completely off script and gets saucy when Geeks of the Week come around.
Robbie takes Art’s role as the bringer of obituaries, but this time it’s a Marvel comics character. And Art spreads rumors about Fantastic Four actor anticipation. Will there really ever be a movie? Who knows? But they know this episode should be downloaded. Be fantastic and listen.

Guardians of the GOCA
Saturday May 20, 2023
Saturday May 20, 2023
Welcome, superhero fans, to Guys of the Galaxy, volume way too many! Galaxy? Old. Guys? Old.
Jay even jumps in the wayback machine without the guidance of Popular Science to revisit Dolph Lundgren’s 80’s portrayal of The Punisher. Art looks to the future (or was it a long time ago in a galaxy far far away?) for Filoni’s Star Wars movie that promises to take an old title and fill it with potentially new characters. Robbie has his fleet foot in another universe with early reviews of the The Flash movie.
But the main objective of this episode’s ramblings are focused on the recently released Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 3. Now that Jay has seen it, all the Guys give their overall take on the film, and the opinions actually vary. They talk Rocket’s story arc, Warlock’s role, the length, and most importantly, the soundtrack. Listen to this one, sing along, and wish Dolph well.
