March 4, 2015 By Michael G. Munz 2 Comments

Look! There’s someone else besides me writing on Geek Notes! That must mean it’s time again for a Guest Geeks post! (That, or the blog has been usurped by North Korean hackers, I suppose.) This week my guest geek is Sheri Williams, who comes to share with us a little about her obsession with Doctor Who. I was a bit of a latecomer to the show myself, and–
Well, maybe I’ll save that for my own post sometime. I’ll simply say that Tennant’s Doctor is my favorite (I also think he’d make a great Hermes if Zeus Is Dead ever becomes a movie), and yield the floor to Sheri…

Movie Review: Kingsman: The Secret Service

February 14, 2015 By Michael G. Munz 2 Comments

Look, if you have any sense of fun in you at all, just go see this movie.

Look, if you have any sense of fun in you at all, just go see this movie.

WHAT DID I JUST WATCH?!?! Did this movie just– OH MY GOD!

That’s a summary of what went through my mind during much of Kingsman: The Secret Service, and I mean that in a very good way, because holy shit, this movie was fucking insane and I loved every single minute of it. SEE IT! [Read more…]

I’ve been to the Black Lodge… (Review)

February 8, 2015 By Michael G. Munz Leave a Comment

…and it was funny.

Fire Walk With Improv

But let me back up. If you’ve read this blog long enough, you know I love Twin Peaks. I was introduce to it in college, I introduced other people to it, I’ve been to Snoqualmie Falls multiple times, and I’m even a graduate of Twin Peaks High School (a.k.a. Snohomish High School, a.k.a. the school they used when filming Fire Walk With Me). You may also know that I like improv comedy.
