Geek Tank #9 - Batman Rogues Gallery
March 26, 2019 02:43 - 56 minutes - 105 MBOriginally published: October 22, 2018 The countdown to Halloween continues! Lately, we've had Gotham's Dark Knight on the mind. As far as superheroes go, Batman is, in our humble opinions, about as much of a shoe in for Halloween as you can possibly get among heroes--at least, in regards to those we find in the mainstream. He uses fear to fight crime, after all; but even more than Batman himself, the rogues that plague Gotham tend to come in all flavors of creepy—and that's the main theme...

March 26, 2019 01:55 - 1 hour - 94.4 MBOriginally published: July 30, 2018 You probably noticed this is an unnumbered episode. That's because this was before we formed Geek Tank!

March 26, 2019 01:20 - 37 minutes - 68.6 MBOriginally published: June 24, 2018 Wow, what a blast to the past for us. Bear in mind, as we re-upload these episodes, we're taken back to the time we filmed them—which feels like so long ago now! We were far more camera shy (still are, though), we fumbled a lot (still do), and our gear was extremely low-tech. Fun fact: we were recording with our phones! Regardless, we always enjoy recording despite nervous jitters and our lack of script (it's all improv, baby!), and with the right tempor...
