Blessed Are The Geek

Pop culture musings from a twentysomething geek.

Hi, I'm Brandon. I have 28 years of geek experience. Yes, I wear bowties. Bowties are cool. I consider myself a pretty well-rounded geek but my areas of specialty include comics, Superman, Star Wars, movies, Tolkien, The Simpsons, comedy, and more. Apologies in advance.

TCM Remembers Actor Andy Griffith Wednesday, July 18

Turner Classic Movies will air a “TCM Remembers” evening in honor of Andy Griffith on July 18. If you’ve never seen the magnificent A Face in the Crowd, set your DVR now. It’s one of my favorite movies. I have the poster hanging in my hallway. Watch it especially if you only know Griffith as Andy Taylor or Ben Matlock. After you see him as Lonesome Rhodes, you’ll find a new appreciation for just how talented Griffith was.
