The Geek, The Nerd, & The Tangent

In this episode Matt shares his thoughts and the thoughts from Erich Mueller, Justin Reeves, and Jason Bentley on the year mark of losing our dear friend Bret.

We love our dear friend. We always will. Our hearts go out to his family and loved ones. We thought it would be an appropriate end to this Bret-inspired podcast for us, his friends, to remember him. Join Erich and I as we discuss our friendship with Bret, and enjoy recordings from Andy Bayless, Jason Bentley, and Justin Reeves. 

The GNT website will now be used as a blog if anyone would like to write anything about Bret. Please send any writings to geeknerdtangent@gmail.com and we will be happy to put it on the website. 

Thank you for listening.

Bret and Matt get behind the mics to discuss Avengers: Endgame...A "Spoiler Free" first Reaction. We cheered, we laughed, we cried, and we didn't get up to go to the bathroom.

The guys take a break from movie discussions and talk about technology. Self-driving cars, the internet of things, lab-grown meat...what does the future have in store for us? Also, Matt brings up his opinion of Game Of Thrones and editing out the icky parts.

Matt and Bret were chomping at the bit to get behind the mics and talk about Star Wars Episode 9: The Rise of Skywalker Teaser Trailer. We also interject discussion about the state of Star Wars in general...because we can’t help ourselves.

In summary: We spoil the crap out of Shazam. Do we also talk about Dr. Phil, Maury, and Jerry Springer? Maybe. But if we do, we get past it real quick.
