The Geeky Waffle – Details, episodes & analysis

Arezou had the chance to sit down with author Rick Riordan to talk about his latest book Wrath of the Triple Goddess, the seventh book in the Percy Jackson series. They talked about revisiting Percy's world, writing heavy themes for younger readers, and what aspects of mythology Riordan still wants to write about. They also talk about whether we'll ever see Magnus Chase again and how Percy Jackson Season 2 is going.

This week, Candace and Catrina discuss the major park announcements from D23. They discuss the addition of Encanto to Animal Kingdom and Indiana Jones taking over Dinoland. They also discuss Villain Land at the Magic Kingdom, changes coming to EPCOT, the two new rides coming to Avengers Campus at California Adventure, and the animatronic Walt Disney show.

The Geeky Waffle host Candace talk with EXORCISTIC writer and star Michael Shaw Fisher about his show coming to New York, the art of parody, and the original Exorcist movie and book.

Exorcistic is a parody within a parody. The audience watches a struggling theater company make their way to Broadway by the second act, however, their lead, Emma Hunton has taken Method Acting a step too far and is replaced with a Broadway star. This role is a rotating rolodex of stars which you do not want to miss because it changes every night! Each night there will be a different special guest performer who will be played by: Marissa Rosen (For the Girls, Water for Elephants, Modern Love) Nick Cearly (The Skivvies, You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown) Jillian Schiralli (CATS, now that’s what i call 90s) Gerard Canonico (Almost Famous, The Dude Ranch) Jordan Donica (Camelot, RENT, Hamilton) Jamie Cepero (SMASH, The Function) and more!

We're rewatching the entire Star Wars saga! And this time we're going to answer all those questions we've been pondering for decades. DECADES. For instance how did a 14 year become ruler of a planet? Would things be different if Qui-Gon wasn't Qui-Gone? Is Jar Jar evil? 

From some reason Candace, Bri and Robert from Crooked Table saw Cats, in a theater with other people. It was an experience, we talk the good, the bad, mostly the bad. 

In Hobbs and Shaw Jason Statham and Vanessa Kirby play siblings, nothing weird about that right? But they show a flashback of them as kids. Jason is 52, Vanessa is 31! We talk about weird age gaps in Hollywood.

Candace and Krista just got back from Batuu and they talk about the new ride, the theming and of course blue milk!

We all have that one (or two...or three?) shows or movies that we are ashamed to admit we really like. This week, we brave the possible shaming to discuss ours! What are yours?

Imagine being in high school and falling in love with a soul that changes bodies every day. Yes that is literally the plot to this movie. As crazy as it sounds, we had some surprising reactions to it.

As summer comes to a close we discuss our favorite Alien Invasion movies!
