Geek Positive Radio #10: Technology is great until it breaks or turns against you!


Hellatius is almost over. During the mid season break many fans anticipate the return of their weekly escapism via their favorite show. Sometimes waiting with batted breath to see how a situation or story arc plays out. If your lucky then January is like another version of Christmas. Some shows come back with early renal status and others are not so lucky.

The network leading the pack with announcements is the CW. They have announced the return of their flagship show Supernatural for its 13th season! -congrats to cast, crew and all involved! Also returning will be Arrow (Season 6) The Flash (season 4) Supergirl (season 3) and legends of Tomorrow also for season 3. This begs the question have we not had enough of superhero or comic themed entertainment? The overwhelming answer is 'NO!' Bring on the capes, ships & powers. DC has even announced a new show, Powerless, focusing on humans who live in a superhero world!

There has been some announcements lately that our opinions are on the fence about. Brian Cranston is reportedly coming back to the Power Rangers Verse. See the Nerdist article: http://nerdist.com/why-bryan-cranston-returned-for-the-power-rangers-reboot/

We saw an intriguing video yesterday on social media where your smart phones and mp3 players could be locked away for a pre-determined amount of time.  This time could be set on the outside of the box. But the only way the box would open and set your devices free is after the time limit is up. Many are calling this the answer to distracted conversations and welcome genuine social interaction. - a thing many of us alas, still need work on.
But… there is still a flip side, as Shannon pointed out on my Facebook, there could be disastrous consequences and we can see a horror movie plot developing….

What are your thoughts? Can you live for a period of time without your smart phone?


Cheers,

Geek Positive Radio Show #9: Welcome to 2017!


Welcome to 2017! We are so glad it’s a new year! New goals are being set, count downs to different movies are in progress! (There are 347 days until Episode 9). 
Tonight on Geek Positive on CJAI 92.1FM we are celebrating 2017 reminiscing about those lost in 2016 by playing songs by Prince, Motorhead, & Bowie! Also Lindsey Sterling's stunning Star Wars medley will serve as our tribute to the late Carrie Fisher, who is most famous for her role as Princess Leia.

Megan will be joining me as we talk about upcoming projects that are set to release in 2017! I am excited for DC's Wonder Woman, the cinematography looks stunning! Marvel is set to release Logan in March 2017. This will be Hugh Jackman's last outing as Wolverine! Definitely an end of an era. We have been watching him develop into Logan for the better part of the last 16 years!

Comics we found in 2016 that will be continuing in 2017:
Aftershock comics: Rough Riders by Adam Glass, brings together influential people from history together to complete a mission! 
DC's Green Arrow: Rebirth. In this reboot they have brought back the dream team as Black Canary rejoins Green Arrow's team.
Marvel's Mockingbird flew solo. We really have enjoyed it so far and are very interested in learning more about what's in store for this fierce fighter!


Cheers,

Alice & Megan!
