Geekscape 350: Beating The Odds With Robert Peterson!

by Jonathan

Author Robert Peterson guests on the show this week to talk about his brand new book ‘The Odds’! Set in a post-apocalyptic future where people are forced to fight in a Mad Max style game of chess, this book sounds like it’s right up our alleys! Ben is back on the show and shares with us his adventure over the weekend in Milwaukee… and why you may not want to go to a convention in the mid-west in the middle of Winter. We sift through the Oscar controversies and pick out some favorites and American Sniper racks up the body count at the weekend box office. Will the attachment of a Batman V Superman trailer do the same for Jupiter Ascending? And should Geekscape start a gang?

by Jonathan

That’s right… you’re getting it early so I can get the word out on Bob’s Kickstarter campaign! Enjoy the second Geekscape of the day!

Robert J. Peterson joins me from CC2K Online to talk about his brand new novel The Odds, currently going through a Kickstarter campaign! The Odds sounds awesome, equal parts Big Trouble in Little China, Battle Royale and… chess! We also plug our upcoming Comikaze panel with producer Michael Uslan and actor Thomas Jane! And why not use this opportunity to discuss the problems with the Punisher movies? Does Robert think that they do anything right? Also, Jonathan explains the brand new, Muslim Green Lantern and explains why he deserves to be read! And Robert says that Keanu Reeve’s ‘Side by Side’ does a great job of exploring the discussion between film and digital!

Fandom Planet 51: Time After Time After Time

by SaxCarr

The boys geek out about Time Travel this week, as the proprietor of
Los Angeles’ own Time Travel Mart (https://826la.org/store/), Lauren
Rock joins us.  She discusses not only time travel, robots and sci-fi,
but also the great things that the Time Travel Mart does to promote
literacy and education all over America.

In addition, our good friend Robert J. Peterson, the novelist, chimes
in and promotes his new science-fantasy novel, “The Odds”
(www.TheOddsNovel.com) and tells YOU how YOU can help it get
published!  (hint:  http://bit.ly/theoddsnovel ) .  Bob is a good
friend of the show and you will enjoy his articulate insight.  We find
that it’s a welcome diversion from Tim & Sax’s usual tomfoolery.
