ANR Geekly 229 - Is your wish list completed yet?

·1 hr 31 min

1. ANR Geekly 229 focuses on holiday banter, dad jokes, anime, TV, and action figures under the question “Is your wish list completed yet?”. 2. The hosts are Dale and Dave, with Dale leading the conversation and Dave reacting to jokes, collection updates, and figure-news opinions. 3. The episode asks whether December purchases and previews have already filled the hosts’ wish lists, or whether more releases still matter. 4. Dale explains he missed two earlier shows because he got a “bad flu,” lost his voice risk, and only started feeling “about 90%” better near the recording. 5. Dave talks about finishing Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia, while Dale says Landman, Mayor of Kingstown, and Slow Horses were the main shows he watched. 6. Dale says Slow Horses seasons 2 and 3 were “phenomenal,” but season 4 and 5 added “sprinkles” and felt forced to him. 7. Dale and Dave discuss the Slow Horses issue as a writing problem, with Dale saying a character started acting unlike the first three seasons and the changes felt unnatural. 8. Dale brings up Running Man and says it is “action, action, action,” while also naming it as a movie he watched with family and wings. 9. The toy section moves through Secret Santa customs, where Dale shows a symbiote sleeper cat custom and praises the packaging, accessories, and sculpting effort. 10. Dale says the postal system routed a package to the border, then Alberta, then Richmond, and he is frustrated that tracking delays pushed the delivery date back. 11. Dale explains why he likes Blockies but avoids blind-box rabbit holes, naming Psyduck, Oscar the Grouch, and Transformers as examples of lines he could not chase. 12. The figure-news segment covers InArt’s Arkham Batman, which Dale calls the Batman he wanted in movies because of the tactical armor, weapons, and overall look. 13. Dale compares that Batman to other DC movie versions, saying the suit feels like a real tactical build instead of a spandex-only design. 14. The hosts also discuss a Punisher mech suit, with Dale liking the alternate bandaged head and saying he wants to see the final release before deciding. 15. Dale criticizes the new Lizard figure because it reuses the same problematic tail, and he says the tail still looks like it is propping the figure up. 16. Dale and Dave talk through DC figures like Ice, Rocket Red, Superman, and Wally West Flash, with Dale focusing on soft goods, sculpt, and whether the figures actually move well. 17. Dale is skeptical about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles villain releases because the bodies look thick, the joints look awkward, and the colors read as dark and oily to him. 18. The tone stays conversational and collector-driven, with repeated side comments, stream-of-consciousness reactions, and a lot of live second-guessing about preorder choices. 19. Listeners who like toy collecting, Marvel Legends, and DC figure reveals will get the most from this episode. 20. Viewers wanting a tight, topic-by-topic news rundown may skip the digressions and holiday chatter.
