The animation, the voice acting, the music, the feels. The Lion King has it all and is one of the all time classics that came out of the resurgence that Disney has in the early 90’s. Brandon leads the stampede of memories as Geekquatch looks back at everything that made this movie great. Just remember to stay out of the elephant graveyard. Hakuna Matata!

The history of this week’s subject is a murky tale of copyright law, Cold War drama, and psychological manipulation. It’s one of the most popular games of all time – Tetris! Caleb crams as much as solid information possible into this week’s episode, Brandon tells a fun story about how his parents are thieves, and Alex has something to say about everything (as usual). Colin is out for the week, but he’ll be back!
 
Cryptogeekology is a big sad trash mess because Alex managed to save over his original recording of the game section – but luckily Heather joined them for a second round with a new subject. Let’s see if they can maintain the winning streak!

The Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo, S-N-E-S or Snes; no matter how you say it, the gray and purple video game box was an incredible evolution from the original Nintendo. The new, more powerful hardware enabled developers to create games that were bigger, better, and more beautiful. The library that accrued over its 10 year lifecycle is incredible. Colin hosts as GeekSquatch discusses their favorite games. For your listening enjoyment, the team has compiled their own personal lists of their top 5 personal favorites. If this doesn’t transport you back to the 90’s, they’re not sure what will. As an added bonus in this episode, the gang reviews the games included with the upcoming SNES Classic, which is scheduled to release in September 2017.
 
Cryptogeekology: The gang is switching it up this week with Back of the Box Trivia. Stick around to see if you can guess what the game is based on the description from the back of the original cardboard packaging.

The Crow is so much more than the film that took Brandon Lee from us. It’s dark, grungy atmosphere set in a Detroit cesspool is the stage for a wild revenge tale that was inspired by the author’s personal loss. Alex resurrects this action classic as Geeksquatch hunts down all of the lesser known aspects of the film. The gang runs down the film’s comic book source material, plot, special effects and cast of characters. And, of course you’ll get the real story behind Brandon Lee’s death.
 
Cryptogeekology: 20 Questions closes the show with the Video Games category. Alex is on his way to stumping the squad, but there’s a glimmer of hope thanks to some knowledge nuggets that Caleb pulls out of thin air.
