For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place? SHOW NOTES: Kara Weller: The Impossible Dilemma of a Polar Guide Marilyn Raphael: A twenty-first century structural change in Antarctica’s sea ice system Karl Watson: First Time in Antarctica Jeb Brooks : 7 Days in Antarctica (Journey to the South Pole) Metallica - Freeze 'Em All: Live in Antarctica Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices…

BlizzCon 2026 could be the launchpad for a new StarCraft and major Game Pass integrations. The Punisher will be darker and more intense, addressing real-world themes of vigilante justice. Superhero movies are shifting from gritty realism to hope and inspiration, influenced by projects like Fantastic Four and Superman . Streaming’s role in the superhero genre is growing, allowing more room for experimentation. Invincible Season 3 continues to deliver brutal action and deep storytelling, keeping fans hooked. Quotes from the Episode: "We’re seeing superhero movies move away from the dark and gritty era—Superman and Fantastic Four are bringing back optimism." "BlizzCon skipping a year tells me something big is coming. New StarCraft? Maybe. But Game Pass integration seems like a no-brainer." "The Punisher has always been a controversial figure, but this time Marvel is taking a stance and tackling real-world issues head-on." "Invincible Season 3 just proves that adult animation can be just as impactful, if not more, than live-action superhero stories." Call to Action: Enjoy the episode?

Welcome back to Geek Freaks! In this episode, Frank and Squeaks break down the latest in geek culture, including the horror-inspired Clayface movie, a new director for the Street Fighter film, and an exciting new Avatar: The Last Airbender sequel. Plus, we dive into our Question of the Week—which video game stresses you out the most? And don’t miss our special interview with Moroni Aguilar, the mind behind Myth Maker Submission! Stay tuned for our short review of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and the latest updates on Marvel Rivals, DC crossovers, and more! Timestamps & Topics 📌 00:00 – Introduction & This Week’s Topics 📌 00:23 – Interview Preview: Moroni Aguilar (Myth Maker Submission) 📌 00:31 – Question of the Week: Which Video Game Stresses You Out the Most? 📌 04:01 – James Watkins Directing DC’s Clayface – A Horror Take on a Batman Villain 📌 07:31 – Sakurai Takes Over Street Fighter Movie – What Can We Expect? 📌 11:02 – New Avatar: The Last Airbender Series Announced – What We Know 📌 17:08 – Marvel Studios Bringing Back The Defenders – Is It a Good Idea? 📌 23:09 – Marvel and DC Are Teaming Up Again – Best Crossovers? 📌 27:32 – Marvel Rivals vs Overwatch – How Blizzard is Responding 📌 39:04 – Leaked Pokémon Collection & Hellfire Gala Event in Marvel Rivals 📌 47:10 – Review: Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man – Worth Watching? 📌 49:49 – Closing Thoughts & Call to Action Sponsor: FREAKS20 https://www.magicmind.com/FREAKS20 - 20% off for one-time purchases and subscriptions. Key Takeaways ✅ Clayface is getting a horror-style film directed by James Watkins ( Speak No Evil ). Could this be DC’s first true horror movie? ✅ A Street Fighter movie is in the works, but its director’s background in comedy ( Eric Andre Show, Twisted Metal ) raises concerns. ✅ The new Avatar series follows an Earthbender Avatar who is hunted by humans and spirits alike—adding a fresh twist to the universe. ✅ Marvel is bringing back The Defenders, but will characters like Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist be able to stand on their own? ✅ Marvel and DC’s new crossover comics will be published separately by both companies—who will do it better? ✅ Blizzard is revamping Overwatch in response to Marvel Rivals, introducing a perk system, more ultimates, and 6v6 modes to compete. ✅ Marvel Rivals leaks hint at an X-Men Hellfire Gala event, with Emma Frost as a new character and potentially Gambit, Nightcrawler, and Rogue on the way. ✅ The Pokémon collection leak suggests a re-release of Gen 1–3 on the Nintendo Switch—a must-buy for classic fans. ✅ Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man changes too much from traditional Spider-Man stories, making it a lackluster adaptation.

Join Frank, Squeaks, and Jonathan as they explore the latest updates from the geek universe. This episode covers the newly revealed Switch 2, a review of the Disney+ series Skeleton Crew , and an in-depth discussion about the Daredevil: Born Again trailer. The team debates Magneto vs. Static Shock in a fun “versus” segment and speculates on the future of Star Wars spinoffs. Whether you're a hardcore gamer, comic book fan, or Star Wars enthusiast, there's something here for everyone! Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction and team roundup 00:37 - Magneto vs. Static Shock : Who Wins? 03:15 - Switch 2: Initial impressions and specs discussion 12:30 - Daredevil: Born Again trailer breakdown 25:30 - Vision Series Speculation and MCU updates 29:40 - Skeleton Crew review and Star Wars discussion 39:10 - Fun debate: Dream special edition consoles and spinoff ideas Takeaways: Magneto's versatility and power make him a strong contender against Static Shock, though the fight would be close. The Switch 2's updated design and rumored specs bring excitement, but questions remain about third-party game support. Daredevil: Born Again promises comic accuracy and intense storytelling, with fan-favorite characters returning. Skeleton Crew combines nostalgia and adventure with a well-crafted story that feels like an 80s sci-fi classic. Star Wars storytelling benefits when it focuses on smaller, character-driven adventures rather than galaxy-changing stakes. Quotes: "Magneto could use his abilities to manipulate physical objects outside of what both of them control." "Switch 2 feels like a more mature version of the original—slicker and built for a wider audience." "Sometimes the best Star Wars stories are about simple adventures, not galaxy-altering events."
