So #HazbinHotel Season 2 completed. Great finale, very much leaves allot of storylines to continue in Season 3 and 4. Some very good payoffs from Season 1 and just an overall step up from season 1. The extra 4 min (14 min in the finale) per episode did absolute wonders for the pacing this season. 🧵

Hey yall new @thisweekingeek.net #LooseCannon remember those Aladdin movies well we watched all 3 some high highs and some low lows. A very solid discussion at the legacy of Robin Williams and the character that he might very well be best known for in a career of iconic characters.
Loose Cannon - Disney's Aladdin Movie Trilogy Roundtable Discussion
This Week in Geek’s Loose Cannon is our all around movies podcast covering the weird, wild, or sometimes nostalgic world of films. This time, our crew of Birdman, Ken, and David discuss the breath that is the Disney Aladdin Trilogy of films. That’s right we talk about the original 1992 classic, its TV direct to video movie Return of Jafar, and the direct to video film that completed the trilogy King of Thieves. We also touch on the legacy of Howard Ashman and the subtle little touches that almost made it into the first film, how Return of Jafar feels lesser and how King of Thieves ends the series of films on a better note. It’s time to head to a land in a faraway place where the caravan camels roam with the Aladdin Trilogy.It’s another TWIG Loose Cannon. Please Be Kind and Don’t Forget to Rewind before returning your videos to the shelves.  Show Notes: Your Geekmasters: Mike "The Birdman" - https://bsky.app/profile/birdmanguelph.bsky.social Alex "The Producer" - https://bsky.app/profile/dethphasetwig.bsky.social Ken Reels - https://bsky.app/profile/kenreels.com Aaron Pollyea Feedback for the show?: Email: mailto:[email protected] Twitter: https://twitter.com/thisweekingeek Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/thisweekingeek.net Subscribe to our feed: https://www.spreaker.com/show/3571037/episodes/feed iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/this-week-in-geek/id215643675 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3Lit2bzebJXMTIv7j7fkqq Castbox: https://castbox.fm/channel/id2162049 Website: https://www.thisweekingeek.net November 3, 2025

It's a full crew and we suffered through the entire Alice Saga of Resident Evil films. Honestly these first 3 were mostly misses.

Holy shit this is something I never thought was going to happen. A full 4k rerender of Tron Legacy was so expensive that I never thought Disney/Sony would cough up the money for it. (if you didn't know Tron Legacy's FX were rendered at 1080p for release).

Hey @netflix.com just because I skip the 20 different dub credits on an anime DOES NOT MEAN I WANT YOU TO JUST AUTOSKIP ALL CREDITS FUCK OFF WITH THIS SHIT I TURNED OFF AUTOPLAY FOR A FUCKING REASON!

Twilight Breaking Dawn Pt 2 opening weekend working at the theater stood in the back and during the fake out I heard one very bored boyfriend yelled "Bullshit!" as loud as he could. Instant laughter everywhere.
Got me thinking.. What's the strongest reaction you've seen an audience member have to a scene in a cinema?

During the birthday party scene in SIGNS I saw a whole row of young women literally throw their popcorn in the air like a cartoon.
Someone in my audience had a very audible negative reaction to the dog scene in TOGETHER. So that was fun!
August 2, 2025 at 2:48 AM
So @birdmanguelph.bsky.social proposed this and one of these two movies was one of the most insufferable movies I've watched in years. The other is just a solid movie. We had a great discussion regardless so give this new #LooseCannon a listen.

Call out for an interview subject.

Do I know any wheelchair users who attended one of the Nintendo Switch 2 hands-on events and tried the demo for Drag x Drive?

If so, would love to hear from you.

As we come to the end of Pride Month this year I gotta say, the conversations I've seen on my feed are incredible in many ways. Especially when it's come to support for our trans brothers and sisters. We won't and should not stop fighting because that's what they want us to do.

Holy crap Celine Song's #Materialists is more than meets the eye. I went in for a romcom what I got was a relationship drama that hits a huge turning point. When it did hit it I fell in love with what it had to say.
