Siskoid Radio: Geek Out! - March 3rd

"If you left a sonic screwdriver pen at my place last week, you might be a geek..."

Episode 7 and my 4000th post! As usual, two things: 1) #GeekOut is the hashtag on Twitter for the silliness of following a radio show live, and 2) if you couldn't listen or understand the French interventions, here's the episode's playlist, with You-Tube links where available.

Intro tune: Doctor Who IX - Murray Gold
Introductions
Man or Muppet - Jason Segel & the Muppets
Geek News: The headlines included legal news on the newest Tintin au Congo decision and MacFarlane vs. Gaiman, as well as obituaries for Golden Age artist Sheldon Moldoff, and Monkee front man Davy Jones.
The Monkees Theme - The Monkees
Comics round-up: What starts as a few of the week's tweeted comic book reviews turns into a rant about Justice League.

Gallifreyan Buccaneer - Colin Baker (from the Big FInish audio Doctor Who and the Pirates by Jacqueline Rayner, somebody did a nice montage for it on You-Tube too!)
Psyché Rock - Pierre Henry (the original Futurama song!)
