207: Stranger Things, When We Were Young, & Full-Cast Magic
We’re back from Vegas, back from Hawkins, and back with another loaded episode! 🎧⚡🎸📚
🔥 What’s Hot – David and Frack share their spoiler-free thoughts on Stranger Things Season 5, Part 1—what’s working, what’s wild, and what has us terrified for Part 2. David also gushes about his two new obsessions: IT: Welcome to Derry and the mind-bending series Pluribus.
📖 What Are You Reading? – We speculate about the brand-new Audible exclusive full-cast Harry Potter audiobooks, discussing the voice acting, production quality, and whether they truly breathe new life into the series.
🎤 The Mosh Pit – The Geek Garage hits the desert! We recap our experience at this year’s When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas—our favorite sets, surprise standouts, emotional moments, and how it felt to be surrounded by thousands of fellow scene kids.
🍿 Shit That Doesn’t Suck – David is head-over-heels for a haunting new Frankenstein adaptation, while Frack recommends Netflix’s John Wick documentary, Wick Is Pain, which dives deep into the stunts, the lore, and Keanu being Keanu.
Stranger Things, spooky towns, scene-kid nostalgia, and monster movies—yeah, this episode’s stacked.

206: AkaiCon Wins, Concert Chaos & Mike Flanagan Feels
This week’s episode is a celebration of small wins, big concerts, and nostalgic chaos. Let’s dive in! 🎤 📚 🎶 📺
🔥 What’s Hot – David recaps his fourth straight year as a vendor at AkaiCon in Lebanon, TN! He shares behind-the-scenes stories, con highlights, and the excitement of selling seven copies of his short story collection, A Home for Wicked Thoughts.
📖 What Are You Reading? – Both hosts are buzzing with anticipation for Brynne Weaver’s upcoming novel Tourist Season. If it’s anything like her Ruinous Love trilogy, we’re in for something dark, clever, and completely unhinged—in the best way.
🎸 The Mosh Pit – It’s been a wild month of live shows: Dance Gavin Dance, New Found Glory on the horizon, and a breakdown of Ice Nine Kills’ chilling new single The Great Unknown. We talk setlists, crowd energy, and the bands that still bring it live.
📺 Shit That Doesn’t Suck – David is all in on Mike Flanagan’s emotional new adaptation of The Life of Chuck, while Frack rewinds the clock and finds joy in reruns of Nickelodeon’s Guts and Double Dare. Slime and sports, anyone?
A little horror, a lot of heart, and plenty of high-energy nostalgia—classic Geek Garage.
