Geek Out With Jimmy

This has been a sad week: Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Ed MacMahon, and Billy Mays.  We mourn them and celebrate what they meant to us, especially Michael.  Then there's some interesting news coming out of MTV: a Greg the Bunny spinoff, Teen Wolf the series, and something new from SNL's Seth Meyers!  Also, I crack Ausiello's 24 secret code, and delve into two rumors: one about a USA crossover, and another about a series ending movie!  Plus reviews on Virtuality, Merlin, The Philantrophist, and Make It Or Break It.  Enjoy!

Thousands of years ago, an ancient civilization fell.  Throughout the ages, prophets have been hunted down and killed for predicting pieces to a puzzle that may save the world.  Now a group of young adults, just trying to deal with the pressures of entering adult hood and building lives for themselves, get drawn one by one into a complex web of prophecy and destiny.  Only they have a chance to stop the coming war: the invasion of the geese...

Chapter Three: November 3 B.G. Tommy, Jason, and Meredith prepare for their trip to North Carolina, while Meredith is haunted by nightmares.  Walt makes a life altering decision, and Liz plans to get Tommy back.  And why is Anne so depressed?

The finale song is Celebrity by Barenaked Ladies.

Here it is, Song #3 from Geek Out!  Anyone else notice how similar this upcoming television season is to a decade and a half ago?  Using Wikipedia to compare the fall schedules, I delve into just how close the two are.  Enjoy this parody of Bowling For Soup's 1985.

Majide is Japanese for You Must Be Crazy, which I certainly am!  About I Survived a Japanese Game Show!!!  I also briefly touch on Flash Forward, before breaking the sad news about Marc Guggenheim (friend of the show) leaving Heroes already!  Bill Lawrence dishes on the new season of Scrubs, including who is in and who is out in the cast, and where the new season will take place (hint: NOT Sacred Heart!)  Enjoy my first episode recorded as a married man!

Hello all you geeks out there!  Jimmy is getting married, so to tide you over until his return, here is an ALL VIDEO GAME episode!  Reviews of Mario Galaxy, Wii Music, some Zombie game whose title I forget, Lego Batman, and more!  Also, why isn't Mario All Stars available on the Wii???  Jimmy will be back next week, and back to talking in the first person.  Enjoy!

Chapter Two: November 3 B.G. Dakota Smith tasks Wesley with a new mission, and he must assemble a team.  Meanwhile, Tommy, with a broken leg, Meredith, with haunting dreams, and Jason prepare for their road trip to North Carolina, and Vince Ratcliff shows up with exciting news!

The finale song is River of Dreams by Billy Joel.

Poor, poor Pushing Daisies.  The show about death died before its time, so let's talk about it, and what's next for the characters, now that they are off the air.  I also weigh in on HawthoRNe and NYC Prep, and reveal what Shia said about Indiana Jones 5.  Of course, we can't forget the big Grey's Anatomy casting scoop revealed this week, and if you think I'm talking about Jessica Capshaw, you haven't been paying attention!  Geek out with me now!

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!!!  Futurama gets 26 more episodes on Comedy Central!  But we also mourn the death of My Name is Earl and analog television.  If you need something to cheer you up, rush out and get the first Newsweek to ever have a guest editor - Stephen Colbert!  Also, Kathy Griffin has returned with more D List shenanigans, and Kenda has spun off of The Girls Next Door to her new show Kendra, which is essentially, more of the same.  Plus, find out why next weekend you will have to do without your geeky goodness (HINT: I'm getting married!).  Enjoy the latest Geek Out With Jimmy!

Chapter One: September / October 3 B.G. Walt is finally adjusting to college.  Tommy is trying to get over his uber-miro bitch girlfriend Liz.  Meredith is feeling dissatisfied with her life, while Jason is out of the closet and high on life.  Natalie, Levi, and Anne also are introduced.

The finale song is Prisoner of Love from The Bob & Tom Band

This episode features only two things: Gilmore Girls and the Tony's!  If you have never seen nor care about Gilmore Girls, especially the series finale that aired two years ago, you can skip to about eight minutes in, when Neil Patrick Harris and the Tony Awards become the topic!  Featuring his brilliant closing song, and the theme song to Gilmore Girls, this episode if pack full of gayness!

Originally performed on the podcast The Good, The Bad, & The Geeky back in February of 2009, this song seemed appropriate because of the big news this week that I featured in the previous episode, so since I wrote the lyrics and helped perform the song, I ripped it and posted it myself.  You will also hear the fantastic Jon Bettin providing guitar and vocals, and vocals from Nick Arganbright.  Enjoy!

Prologue: Meet Geisha, the Last Prophet of His Age, hunted in his secluded home in the mountains of Tibet 4,000 years ago by a strange assassin.  Meet Wesley Prisoff, a recent college graduate, digging in those same mountains millennia later on a mysterious project for his mentor, Dr. Dakota Smith.  What do these two men have in common, and what is Dakota up to?

The finale song is a remix of Clint Eastwood by the Gorillaz

Is Charlie Pace returning to Lost?  Ok, I hate shamelessly misleading you all like this so, no, Charlie is not coming back, at least not full time.  Shame on you ABC for playing with our emotions!  But that doesn't mean there isn't exciting, if vague news about the actor behind the character!  Listen to this week's episode to find out!  I also rock out with Ed Helm's song from the unexpected break out comedy The Hangover, and discuss The Listener, Comedy Central's Tosh.0, and USA's Burn Notice and Royal Pains.  Thank you to those recommending my twitter feed GeekOutPodcast, and to those who made my bachelor party awesome!  Enjoy!

This is the first of 31 audio files for An Actor's Nightmare Book One.  It contains only the information on the cover, the Acknowledgements, and About the Author.  For the person who, like me, is a completionist and has to have the entire audio file.  The Prologue will be posted soon, and will actually start the story!

Welcome to the first of many mid-week Geek Out With Jimmys (Jimmies?  Jimmi?), now that the show is more compact!  In this episode we delve into the rumors of a new Scream trilogy, berate Spidey (that's Heidi and Spencer from The Hills for you old people), and take a look at the new Late Night with Conan O'Brien.  That is his picture I used, right?  I always get him mixed up with that witch from Narnia...  I also review ABC's special Earth 2100, NBC's special Inside the Obama Whitehouse, and the final three episodes of the season, not series, Medium, while pondering Andy Samberg's hosting duties this week and Sarah Chalke's biggest mistake ever.  Enjoy!

The first of many parody songs, this one was originally posted as part of episode #6.  Please excuse the poor singing and just try to enjoy the lyrics.  It's a parody of the Barry Mannilow classic Mandy about our favorite hero of 24, Jack Bauer!

Originally posted as part of Geek Out With Jimmy #3, the podcast's first sketch follows Jimmy through auditions for a possible co-host.  Who are these brave souls who dare to apply for such a challenging job, and by that, I mean putting up with Jimmy?  Well they just may be Seth Rogen, William Hung, his fiance Morgan, and even Ricky Gervais!  Enjoy this star-studded peek behind the scenes of GOWJ!

Tonight I premiere the new format (at least for the summer) of Geek Out With Jimmy!  In it, I think fondly of my semi-high school Go WJ (GOWJ is the podcast) and talk about The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, The Goode Family, Mental, My Boys, Reaper, Diamonds, Charlie Wilson's War, The Gilmore Girls, and The Guild.  I also rant about the new Joss-less Buffy, marvel at the new 24 casting news, and continue to lament Kris Allen stealing the Idol title from Adam Lambert.  I also get literary and review the new Newsweek.  Do you like the image for this week's cast?  If you still haven't gotten the joke, well, I can't help you.  Enjoy!

The upfronts are in, and the networks have announced what's in and what's out.  Find out the lineups for ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, the CW, and even TNT, TBS, and TruTV.  Also, another batch of finales to cover, including How I Met Your Mother, 24, Desperate Housewives, American Idol, Saturday Night Live, The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, New Adventures of Old Christine, and Gary Unmarried, as well as the premiere of Glee.  I saw Terminator: Salvation, and I actually liked it quite a bit.  Plus, who is watching Star Trek, which movie is coming back to Universal Studios, who is hosting the MTV Movie Awards, who got fired from Fringe, who is Joss Whedon wooing, who joins the cast of 24, who is allowing herself to be nominated for an Emmy, who will be Conan's first guests, and who's album is Walmart not selling?  And a Melrose Place MAJOR SPOILER!!!  With a parody song entitled Jack Bauer, a bit from The Onion, and the final showdown from Idol, this... is... Geek Out With Jimmy!

After the disbandment of The Good, The Bad, and The Geeky, Jimmy continues to bring you the news and reviews you are accustomed to.  Cyberspace, the rapidly becoming overexposed frontier.  These are the ramblings and musings of a simple podcast host.  This week's mission, to explore the finales of Scrubs and Better Off Ted, as well as Marley and Me, Medium, and a local theater's production of Reever Madness, to seek out news about NBC Shows, Dom's death, Paula's confession, and Keifer's recklessness.  To boldly go where so many have gone before, playing clips from Scrubs, most of the new Star Trek soundtrack, and the song "Listen to Jesus, Jimmy".  Also, I answer your e-mails, talk about casting news, new shows including Titan Maximum from the creators of Robot Chicken, and address the future of the Gossip Girl spinoff, Dollhouse, and How I Met Your Mother.  All because I'm no superman.

After the disbandment of The Good, The Bad, and The Geeky, Jimmy continues to bring you the news and reviews you are accustomed to.  The main focus of the news this week is what shows are CANCELLED, what shows are RENEWED, and what shows could go EITHER WAY!!!  The finales of Chuck, Heroes, and Private Practice are discussed, as well as this week's Brothers and Sisters, The Big Bang Theory, and How I Met Your Mother.  Included in the breaks are the auditions for co-host held by Jimmy, and the theme song to Chuck.  Also, I answer your e-mails, talk about some casting notes, reveal which classic movie may get a sequel, look at this week's issue of NewsWeek, offend many politically, uncover Patient Zero of the Swine Pandemic sweeping the globe, find an Easter egg in 24, berate Matt from American Idol, talk about E's show failing and failed polls, discuss a Fringe secret, keep a Gossip Girl one, and assert my manliness by talking about Oprah.  Whew, that seems like a lot!  Enjoy!

After the disbandment of The Good, The Bad, and The Geeky, Jimmy continues to bring you the news and reviews you are accustomed to.

I also answer a REAL e-mail (or twitter), apologize to TiVo, mourn Bea Arthur, spoil who may be dying on TV, reveal what shows were (duh!) renewed, which ones were cancelled, announce season finale dates, some casting notes, reveal if Arnold is or is not in the new Terminator, marvel at how Michael Scott grew a pair, discuss Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles, Party Down, Sit Down Shut Up, Desperate Housewives, Ultimate Spiderman, Twilight, Son of a Witch, and introduce anyone living under a rock to Susan Boyle!  Featuring a special guest with a new segment, this is the 2nd weekly Geek Out With Jimmy!
