Well, we got busy again but fret not, we did not leave unentertained! We love bad movies and we also Star trek, so a few weeks ago we invited our good friend Brent Morris aka the Closet Geek Show over to our house to enjoy some tribbles and phasers with Dave and Birdman. Star Trek 4: The voyage home is a fun movie but is also downright stupid in terms of how relevant it is today, from transparent aluminum to singing goddamn whales and Lieutenant Corky's misadventures, it's perfect for DVD commentary We want to hear your suggestions for future commentaries so call into our voicemail line and become part of the show at 817 717 7202 and leave us a message!

Birdman and the rest of the TWIG crew LOVE mashups and we learned that one of the Internet's best has retired, We mourn the loss of Aggro1 but we honor his retirement with a mash up show of some of our favorites from his extensive library. He was one of the best of the net artists and was a favorite among the Closest Geek Show and TWIG play lists. Join us for this tribute to him, his music and some rather odd conversation around the microphone.

Itrsquo;s Birdman, The Skunk and Double D cominrsquo; at ya with another episode of This Week in Geek where wersquo;re talking about the man, the legend, the director that defined what it was to be an angsty 16 year old in 1985, none other than John Hughes himself. Along with our regular dose of news and some very interesting voice mail messages (which Mike finally didnrsquo;t accidentally delete this time) wersquo;re going to talk about the early works of Mr. Hughes and how they helped define a generation.With everything from strange Chinese foreign exchange students to computers that can produce super-models and all the laughs and drama in between we will discuss who Mr. Hughes was and the impact he made on the world of cinema that helped shape young filmmakers like Kevin Smith and Wes Anderson to becoming international superstars. So we invite you to sit back, grab your pixie stick sandwich and your cute cheerleader girlfriend (who you just know will somehow end up leaving you for your nerdy best friend) and enjoy the show. Mike, Stefan and Dave will bring you all the memories from a time when hair was bigger, music had louder drums for some reason and it was cool to wear plastic sunglasses without looking like a douche bag. In the immortal words of Ferris Bueller, life moves pretty fast, if you donrsquo;t stop and look around every once in a while, yoursquo;ll miss it.
