Dave, Todd, Andruw, and Preston, take a discerning look into the world of geek fandom. We care about intriguing storytelling, compelling characters, and thought-provoking themes, but we also love action, special effects, and comedy. We break down the positives, negatives, and mixed feelings about everything we cover. Step through the portal with us for fun and analytical discussions about geek culture, for fans, by fans.

episode 1: #001 - Movie Review - The Martian
In our debut episode, we review "The Martian," starring Matt Damon, a favorite among our original trio of co-hosts, Dave, Dave, and Todd (not a typo; two Daves; not confusing at all).
We talk about our favorite moments, favorite quotes, the amazing visuals, the extended version, deleted scenes, and much more.
With this review as well as our ones to come, we sum up remaining thoughts in a lightning round, grade the movie three different ways, and throw out ideas of what to cover in a future episode.
We approach our reviews from every angle -- the intellectual, the analytical, the emotional, the geeky, and the just plain fun.
Thank you for joining us in the debut of the next adventure between three best friends and continue enjoying whatever makes you a Discerning Geek.
