In the autumn of 2023, as the DC Movie Universe scrambles and regroups and the Marvel Cinematic Universe struggles to regain its prominence in pop culture, two movies hit the screen with far less fanfare than one might expect, and diminishing expectations. DC plunged the depths and brought up Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, and Marvel took a Hail Mary shot into space and bet on The Marvels.
The results are, let us say, problematic.
It’s Episode 251 of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast. This week, we finish our trio of 20th century war trivia episodes with Gulf War Trivia. I was in high school when this started, so it’s not something I studied in a textbook. I have friends that served in this war and they have interesting stories. If you were there, thank you for your service.
While I hate to undercut the release of Marvels, this film is clearly a classic of tomorrow:
It’s Marvel time. Another superhero movie hits screens this week, so I thought it was a good time to do a deeper dive into Ms. Marvel’s past. Specifically, the one currently appearing in comics and the MCU. Captain Marvel got her own showcase way back in our second episode, so check that out if you haven’t already.
We decorated our house for Halloween in a Ghostbusters theme. I think we’ll have to update it in 2024.
It’s the 250th episode of Dorky Geeky Nerdy! We also broke 250,000 downloads in October, so it’s milestones all around. Thank you all so much for your support. For our second November episode, we’re continuing our wars of the 20th century theme with Vietnam War Trivia.
