ZACK SNYDER’s “Kobayashi Maru”: How NON-FAN Filmmakers CREATE Superhero Fatigue! Mar 13, 2024

Show notes

On today's episode of Coolest Geek Alive, Jesse Blaze Snider "muthafucks" Zack Snyder on behalf of ALL BATMAN & SUPERMAN FANS around the WORLD! Recently "Justice League", "Batman vs. Superman" & "Man of Steel" director Zack Snyder sat down with Joe Rogan for the JRE podcast and opened his mouth on several geeky subjects that true geeks will be truly furious about. And since Jesse hasn't exactly been satisfied with the extensive online repudiation of Mr. Snyder's words, he thought he might take a few thousand additional stabs at the man to help normies understand why Zack 100% does NOT know what he is talking about. It gets heated. Enjoy!!

EP 80 The Coolest Geek Alive

FIXING Sony’s SPIDER-VERSE! (Miles Morales! Spider-Gwen! Man-Wolf! Noir! 2099! Superior Foes! & a DOZEN MORE GREAT IDEAS!) Feb 21, 2024

Show notes

"Madame Web"?! Vegan "Kraven"?! "El Murte" & "Silver & Black"?! What is Sony thinking with their Spider-verse?! "But Coolest Geek Alive", you say, "Sony only has access to Spider-man characters, they don't have a lot of options." Au contraire mon frere, Sony has at least a dozen almost guaranteed successes on their hands if they play their cards right and properly adapt their source material! Oh, dammit, I forgot to mention one on the show! They should totally do a "DAILY BUGLE" TV series focused on the incredible Bugle Staff and more street-level villains like Mr. Negative, Tombstone, Hammerhead, and the Enforcers. Well, at least I mentioned it here. Ha, ha, I'm Jesse Blaze Snider...and I'll see you on the inside. (No prize for anyone who gets that reference.)
