We also have a quick appearance from Ryan Sagers of Ensign Events as he talks about the big D&D even they had planned for this last weekend.

Eco is a simulated ecosystem, with thousands of plants and animals simulating 24/7. Your community works together through the player-run government and economy to build the technology to stop a meteor on a collision course with the planet, without polluting the world and killing it off in the process before that even happens.


Recently Collin, Hot Takes Blake, participated in a server hosted by friend of the show NotAVampire, where they embarked on a mission to advance their survival skills quick enough to shoot down the meteor before it strikes their planet.


Join the three as they talk about the game mechanics, give tips on building a strong helpful community, and of course what it takes to survive the meteor.

She is joined by friends of the show- screenwriter/comics writer, Blake Casselman, and Movies That Make Us podcast host, Tracy Mangum. They decided to not limit the discussion to just the final episode, but to also include some of their favorite moments, characters, and outfits throughout Better Call Saul and it’s predecessor, Breaking Bad. Together, they appreciate what Vince Gilligan created: a masterfully written story spread between two TV series and a movie. You would not believe the number of details that were found to be interwoven. During your next binge, be sure to pay attention!


It should go without saying that there are HEAVY SPOILERS throughout this podcast episode. We hope you come back to listen after you’ve binged these shows over the weekend.

Blake kicks it all off with his hot take not just on audiobook narration, but how the specific narrators for the Stormlight Archive books actually make the books good, and they wouldn't stand as well on their own. Does Jake agree? Watch the episode and find out! Trigger warning for other Brando Sando Fandos out there: we may not say Brandon is perfect in his writing. You've been warned!

During his run, he would revolutionize the Matt Murdock/Daredevil character, as well as defining Wilson Fisk as his arch nemesis. Additionally, he would introduce The Punisher into the Daredevil mythos, and maybe one of his biggest contributions, he gave the world Elektra. His run would change Daredevil forever. Maybe even change the Marvel universe and comics forever.


It all led up to a final multi part story - Born Again. Miller had actually left the series for a short time, but returned to write this final story that would forever leave its mark on the characters involved.


Marvel Recently announced that they were bringing Charlie Cox back in a new 18 part Disney+ series called Born Again. In this episode of the Age of Geek podcast we welcome two Daredevil superfans- screenwriter/comics writer Blake Casselman and filmmaker/photographer Larry D. Curtis- to talk all about this epic Daredevil story and the huge Marvel announcement.
