02/18/21 • 49 min

Where do geeks come from? How are geeks made? Can Geek Squad fix my PS4? In this episode of The Parentacons Derrick, Jason, and Ian will answer two out of those three questions, from their own perspectives. Does it take a geek to make a geek? Do geek parents naturally have geek children? Tune in and find out!

Of course, we'll also cover the latest news and developments in all things geek. This episode's Geek Roundtable includes the Dads' thoughts on Wonder Woman 1984, news from the DC Universe, the expanding Star Wars Feige-verse, and of course the Marvel Cinematic Universe (did someone say Wanda Vision?!?)

WandaVision Deep Dive

Have you seen WandaVision yet? Well The Parentacons have, quite a few times. We’ve been looking forward to the premiere of WandaVision for months, and it didn’t disappoint...or did it??? We have LOTS of thoughts, theories, and feelings about the first three episodes of the new series from Marvel, so we did a DEEP DIVE into all the Easter eggs, what if’s, and who might’ve’s we could think of.

Who's Agnes? Do the kids names mean anything? What's up with Geraldine? I don't mean to be rude, but didn't Vision die in Endgame? Also, Beekepper???? And who is this SWORD everyone keeps talking about????

All these questions and more, along with expert commentary from your favorite geeks in residence, The Parentacons. Office hours begin after bedtime, but you can listen to the podcast anytime! Oh, and we promise to do another one of these at the end of Season One, just to see if any of our crazy predictions hit the mark.

Jay's Favorite Superhero...A Dramatic Reading

We're so excited for Episode 8 of The Parentacons to drop this month, March 2021. It's the first in a 3-part series on Fatherhood Role Models in Geek Media. We're starting with Batman, who happens to be Jay's all-time favorite superhero.

We always say it's not what you geek, but how you geek, and we know that not everyone is as hardcore for Batman as Jay. So we put together this little piece of bonus content, a dramatic reading of Batman's origin story featuring none other than our local Batman nut...Jay.
