Practical Pokémon

Pokémon is the world’s most profitable entertainment franchise, with more than two decades of trading cards, manga, TV shows and movies stoking the flames of fandom. At its core is a series of games so iconic that when its latest installment, Pokémon Sword and Shield, broke slightly from the mold, it generated fire and fury online. We give our two cents on the newest game, the series as a whole, and the backlash in today’s episode. Despite Halloween having passed, we also take a look at th...

Mini Queek - Chuck E. Queeks - Chuck E. Cheese

Being a geek means being obsessed with things, even if those things are obscure, absurd, or downright abominable. In this miniqueek we dive deep into the unexpectedly extensive world of Chuck E. Cheese lore, talking through the chain’s history, the strange fate of its oldest animatronics, and which members of Munch’s Make Believe Band we ship.

Night Queen

The Marvel Cinematic Universe nearly dominates the superhero movie/TV landscape today, but in 1997 things were a bit...more terrible. This week, we dive deep into the Marvel vault, and watch the 90s superhero series “Night Man” featuring such guest stars as Little Richard, Jerry Springer, and future President of the United States Donald J. Trump. Nothing about this makes any sense. Still in the 90s, we turn our attention to cult classic The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert, an ...

Halloween Queektacular

A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge is considered by some to be the gayest horror movie ever made, and some are pretty spot on. The movie treats us to a menagerie of homoerotic imagery, and delves into psychological horror when it comes to tormenting its star. Then we shift gears and watch each other’s favorite horror movies, Thirteen Ghosts (Ben’s pick) and The Thing (Cody’s pick). Feeling especially spooky?

The Gayest Doctor

With a back-catalogue spanning more than half a century, and 14 actors playing the same character, there’s a lot to cover when it comes to Doctor Who. This week we discuss 1979’s City of Death, a series of episodes from the tenure of the beloved Fourth Doctor, Tom Baker. Back in the present, we watch The Bravest Knight, an animated kids show on Hulu about a knight in training and her gay dads.

The Queek Crystal - Dark Crystal / Rent

In a time when everything is being rebooted, it’s easy to feel cynical about a Netflix series based on a cult classic puppet masterpiece like The Dark Crystal. But damn, if they didn’t totally nail it. We give our thoughts on The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, gape at the technological advancements since the original, and are star-struck by the totally stacked cast.   In the second half of the episode we totally switch gears and watch the film version of the musical Rent.
