This week, the ESO crew travels back to to 80′s to enjoy the works of John Hughes.

ESW Podcast - Episode 58


On Christmas Day 2013, the Eleventh Doctor’s time was up! Mike, Mike, Jen, the Phantom Troublemaker, and guest Josh Wilson sort through their first impressions of the 800th episode of the franchise. Did Moffat and co give us the Christmas present we wished for most, or did we find coal in our stockings? No matter how we felt, it is going to be a long wait until August 2014 when the Peter Capaldi era begins!

ESO Podcast - Episode 192


This week, the ESO crew turns their attention to the last (but certainly not least) of the DC Trinity Wonder Woman. For 72 years, the Amazon Princess has been the leading lady of the superhero genre and soon she will be featured on the big screen for the first time. Mike, Mike, the award-winning author Bobby Nash, the lost Legionnaire Darren Nowell, and the wonderful but perilous Valerie Perez share their thoughts of the character’s past, present, and future. Valerie also finds herself bound by something ever more revealing than the Lasso of Truth, the Geek Seat! In the Khan Report, Bobby and Mike rave about their experience at Farragut Fest 2013 and Rob Levy reports on this year’s Chicago TARDIS. Plus, the usual Rants, Raves, and Shout Outs!
