This is not a trap! (Don't listen to Admiral Ackbar this time.) We are just some genuine geeks, hoping to explore some of our favorite content from a Christian lense that we all share. We will be focusing on the geek stuff - Star Wars, Marvel, LOTR, Harry Potter, etc. - but we will be asking questions like: "Do Clones have souls?" "Is Superman truly a Christ-figure?" or "Is it okay for Christians to watch horror films?" Subscribe to our show and explore with us!

Our show focuses around our favorite fandoms that we discuss from a Christian perspective. We do not try to put Jesus into all our favorite stories, but rather we try to ask the questions the IPs are asking, then addressing those questions from our perspective. We are not all ordained, but we are the Priests to the Geeks, in the sense that we try to serve as mediators between the cultures around our favorite fandoms and our faith communities.

05/09/23 • 26 min

As a follow up to our KOTOR series, Christian Ashley and TJ Blackwell attempt to discuss the ever-popular MMO game, "Star Wars: The Knights of the Old Republic"! Neither played the game much though, so this was a shorter episode! If you had free range to be a Mandolorian, Jedi, Sith, or whoever you wanted to be in the Star Wars universe, who would you be? How man stories are there to tell in the Old Republic Era? Is Star Wars Old Republic the same as KOTOR? Is Knights of the Old Republic still worth playing? Let us know what you think of the game on our website: systematicgeekology.org

How bad was "Thor: Love and Thunder"?

Systematic Geekology

07/19/22 • 37 min

Today we finally review the newest film in the Thor series! Hosts Joshua Noel and Joe Dea discuss the MCU's worst movies and where this film ranks among them! Thanks to Ryan Does and his podcast, "Across the Bifrost", we do our best to review the film based off what's in it and not what's missing, to find it is not as bad as we thought but it still left our hosts wanting. We want more of "the problem of evil" and female heroes!

How did "Thor: Love and Thunder" end and what did we think of it? How many post-credit scenes are in the new Thor film and what were they about? Will Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) be back as the mighty Thor? How good was Christian Bale as Gorr? We ask all these questions and so much more! Let us know what you thought of the film on our website: systematicgeekology.org

Systematic Geekology

06/22/23 • 52 min

We are back with another "what if... ?" episode! We forgot last month's so this time we combined two of the "what if" scenarios that were voted on by our followers in our Facebook group! You voted for "What if Gandalf never returned from fighting the Balrog?" and "What if Captain America went to Middle Earth?"! So we work through what would happen without Gandalf then we ask if Steve Rogers could fill his shoes! Could Gimli become Durin the Deathless? Who would get Saruman's title and power? Would we see a "Aragorn the White" or "Captain America the White"? What is the Balrog? Who are the Maiar? Why did Eru Illuvutar bring back Gandolf? How would Captain Rogers get to Middle Earth? Could Captain America resist the temptation of the One Ring? Would Lord of the Rings be different if Gandalf wasn't there to fight the Witch-king? We discuss it all in this one!
