2 Geeks and a Microphone

On this episode of 2 Geeks and a Microphone, Mike and Stephen open up the Creator’s Corner to welcome author Mark J. Wilson. We sit down to discuss his Sci-Fi Noir novel, Full of Beans. The story follows Phil Beans, a private detective who doesn't just look for clues—he steps into them. Armed with a vintage SX-70 Polaroid camera, Phil can travel back to the exact time and place a photograph was taken. But when a missing student case turns into a murder investigation, Phil finds that navigating cause and effect is more dangerous than a loaded gun. Join us for a snapshot into the mind of a creative storyteller! Get the Book: https://a.co/d/ae9fQfm

We’ve hit the big 3-0-0! To celebrate 300 episodes of 2 Geeks and a Microphone, Mike and Stephen are handing out the pink slips and taking over Hollywood. In this milestone special, we go head-to-head in a high-stakes battle to see who can build the ultimate geek movie franchise without going broke. We are playing "The $300 Million Producer." We each have a strict imaginary budget of $300 million to buy a Director, a Lead Star, a Villain, and an IP—but we can’t afford the best of everything. If we blow the budget on a Tier 1 director like Nolan or Spielberg, we might be forced to cast a bargain-bin star or use a public domain character. The combinations are wild, the budgets are tight, and the pitches are ridiculous. Want a legendary beard like a true geek? Live Bearded has you covered.

The Hangman Killer comes to life! Join Michael and Stephen as we sink our teeth into the official DC High Volume audio drama adaptation of Batman: Dark Victory (based on the classic comic by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale).

We dive into the voice acting of Jason Spisak (Batman) and Adam O'Byrne (Two-Face), analyze the effectiveness of the sound design in key scenes (like the Flying Graysons' tragedy), and debate the biggest question: Did this audio drama faithfully and dramatically capture the complex mystery and the emotional birth of Robin? Tune in for our spoiler-heavy breakdown of the adaptation's best moments, its biggest risks, and whether the High Volume approach did justice to this legendary sequel!
