EP 192 Coolest Pick - Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

This week, we’re celebrating one of the greatest, weirdest, most wonderfully absurd superheroes of all time — THE TICK! From his mysterious comic book origins (did he escape a mental institution?!) to the iconic animated series, to two wild live-action versions, we’re diving into it ALL. We’re talking Chairface, Little Wooden Boy, The Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs at Midnight, Danger Boat, Barry the other Tick, and every hilariously heroic moment in between. It’s big blue chaos in the best way possible — grab your antennae, shout SPOON!, and join us on this loving deep-dive into the legacy of Ben Edlund’s indestructible idiotic icon.

Coolest Classics - “I’m Gonna Get You Sucka” (Kickin’ Off the Wayans Family Comedy Dynasty). Sometimes there’s a film… I won’t say a masterpiece, ‘cause what’s a masterpiece? But sometimes there’s a film. And I’m talkin’ about “I’m Gonna Get You Sucka” here. Sometimes there’s a film that, well, it’s the film for its time and place. It fits right in there. And that’s “I’m Gonna Get You Sucka”, for the brilliant Keenen Ivory Wayans and the Wayans’ family of comedy geniuses! And even if the film is already beloved by millions, “I’m Gonna Get You Sucka” most definitely is. But sometimes there’s a film… sometimes, there’s a film. Aw. I lost my train of thought here. But – aw, hell. I’ve introduced it enough.” - Jesse Blaze Snider, the Coolest Narrator Alive.

This week on Coolest Geek Alive, we’re giving flowers to one of the most groundbreaking sketch comedy shows of all time—In Living Color. From the fearless social satire to the launch of iconic careers like Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx, the Wayans Family & MORE! Jesse Blaze Snider breaks down how this '90s classic shaped modern comedy, pop culture, and what it means to truly push the boundaries of comedy with style. A bold, hilarious, and unapologetically raw tribute to the show that made us laugh, think, and dance during the commercial breaks.

Today on Coolest Geek Alive, Jesse Blaze Snider eviscerates the recent Wall Street Journal puff piece defending Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige with a flamethrower of facts. In a shameless display of corporate propaganda, the article heaps all praise for the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s past successes onto Feige while bending over backward to deflect any blame for the franchise’s current failures. Jesse dives in line by line, exposing the spin, deflating the copium, and reminding audiences that the real problem isn’t budgets, actors, or fan fatigue—it’s the consistently poor writing and increasingly lifeless direction under Feige’s watch for the past five years. This is the MCU takedown you didn’t know you needed.
