Are you exhausted? Because we sure are! 2012 turned out be a geek’s best friend and it didn’t matter what your nerdgasm of choice was, either! Be it movies, gaming, television, comics, or whatever else, 2012 surely did deliver… and there are absolutely no signs that 2013 is going to do any less. Hell, it’s probably going to do more! Join us this week as we gather around the mics and discuss what “got our geek” the most in the past year. Prioritize your superheroes, stock up on convention passes, and be sure to try out a bit of the meatloaf as you settle in for a brand new episode of Monkey in the Cage!
Zombies. Zombies, zombies, zombies. They are everywhere these days. They’re on your TV, they’re in your movie theater, they show up at little kids birthday parties (true story), but what is it that makes these mindless flesh-eating killing machines so appealing? Join us this week as we look at the zombie explosion that has taken over pop-culture like a … well, like a horde of zombies! Lock the doors, board up those windows, and remember you can drink the water from the toilet tank if you need to , as we talk Zombie-mania on a whole new episode of Monkey in the Cage.
Last week a trailer was released for a new movie I had no idea was in existence and it was based on a fairly popular book in the hard core underground geek world. Well me being the pop culture geek I am said screw it and decided I didn’t care and decided not to watch it. Not until every one of my normal websites had posts about the trailer did I decide to venture in to the world of Hunger Games. Once I read io9′s picture take on the trailer I checked Amazon and snatched up the trilogy for $30.
