GIJoe! Transformers! Star Blazers! Challenge of the SuperFriends! Spider-Man! Wacky Races! What were YOU watcing on Saturday Mornings? Thanks to www.retrojunk.com and www.melaman2.com/cartoons/index.html, the Geeks reminisce about their favorite cartoons as they listen to various theme songs. It's Flashback time to the '80s and beyond. Let us know what your favorites were or if we missed any. Enjoy!

Meanwhile...*

*(apologies to Dick Giordano)

It's been quiet around these parts, no? That's because Bryan is off in L.A. for a bit and I just returned from a week in New York. L.A.? New York? It's like our own version of Midnight Nation. But fear not, we'll be returning to more Comic Geek Speak fun soon enough. Once Bryan returns we'll be putting up Episode #20. It seems like the "anniversary" podcasts just happen to be very special and this one is no exception. Prepare to be thrown back in time to your childhood days when you hear what we have in store for #20.

Beyond that we are lining up some more interviews, creating new segments and anxiously preparing for Wizard World Philly '05. So in the meanwhile, come on over and join our Message Board Forum. Let us know your thoughts, comments, ideas, etc. And don't forget to send in your Stump the Rios questions, your audio Geek of the Day rants as well as participating in the Stump the Audience contests.

CGS Goes to NYC on May 6th!

Very cool news. Our friend Q from www.deltadreams.com (the guy who composed the music we use for our show opener) has music featured in a movie! Here's a discription of the movie:

Double Dare is a double-barreled, action-packed documentary about two Hollywood stuntwomen, Jeannie Epper and Zoe Bell. Jeannie, who refuses to retire at sixty-two, doubled for "Wonder Woman" in the 70s, and Zoe landed the coveted job doubling "Xena" at the age of eighteen. With star-studded interviews and rollicking live-action stunt sequences, Double Dare is a candid look at two strong, dedicated women who pursue tough
careers in male-dominated Tinseltown.


More on the movie at www.doubledarethemovie.com

Sounds like a lot of fun. So Bryan and Tasha are heading to NYC with Q on Friday, May 6th for the premiere. The movie will be showing at The Quad Cinema in New York. For more information go to www.quadcinema.com

If you are in New York, come on down, check out the movie, and say hello.
