Sorry about the sound quality in this week's episode. We recorded in Super Ugly's living room after our Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li commentary. It's a huge room with not much in it so our voices bounced off the walls something fierce.

We're moving into the new Savant studio week after next so the sound will be top notch from here on out...

Outro by our man Neil Diamond.

Happy Easter!

This week, the Geek Savants are joined by Mrs. Ugly as they pick apart Toyfare's Ass Kicking Women list, and throw down on who should really make the cut.

After pulling a no show on us at the biggest comic convention in Northern California, fellow Geek Savant Grant Miller cancels on the episode at the last minute. And after we had made plans to record it at his house! What a douche!

So in honor of our balless comrade, we present the first installment of "group therapy." Thanks a lot, Grant!

Oh, and in between cheap shots we recount the weekend that was Wondercon 2008.

Yep. No new episode this week. Ugs and I planned on recording this weekend at Wondercon, but we were swamped with commissions, schmoozing and general naughtiness. So instead we'll be doing a wrap up show with Brian, our man on the floor and Grant, the bitch that faked on us.

Expect sparks to fly!

Oh, and there will be a special guest at the top of the program. See you Sunday.

Super Ugly, that is!

In this episode Grant, Dave and Ugs discuss a group of people near and dear to their hearts: Super Villians. No, not those douche bags in the Westboro Baptist Church (R.I.P. Heath Ledger), Z-List comic villians are the topic du jour and the boys serve up a hot plate of badness so good it'll leave you hungry for more!

In this special commentary episode the Geek Savants spotlight Joel Schumacher's franchise killing opus, "Batman and Robin" and come off sounding like complete homophobes. Nothing could be further from the truth as halfway through the episode they fall asleep lovingly in each others arms.

If you aren't easily offended by dick-loving humor and terrible comic movies this one's for you!

In this episode, Brian goes AWOL and the Savants decide to clear the air concerning his manic, Joker-like laughter. In between jabs they even find the time to discuss their favorite comicbook movies.

In their third (yes, third) episode dedicated to videogames, the Geek Savants take a look back at one of their favorite pasttimes: classic arcade games.
