Just when you thought only Art brought the celebrity obits every week, this episode focuses on the media’s recent loss of Captain Outrageous, the Mouth of the South…the inimitable Ted Turner. And lest any mourner be left out: the sailing world, Major League Baseball, and bison-lovers everywhere are also spilling tears into their dry vodka martinis at 5 minutes after every hour.

Thanks to Turner’s WTCG, which later became WTBS, The Guys in their young (ish) teenage years had the opportunity to watch almost every Braves game and cheer for the Goldar (the Space Giant) in his ongoing battle against Rodak. (Not to be confused with Polaroid’s ongoing battle with Kodak.) Turner was controversial, but a legend in the media world, where nobody thought CNN would last. Ted may be gone, but he’s not Gone with the Wind.

Geeks of the week get a new spin this week: Jay goes first! A flopped Disney property gets a reboot, and Jay gets an explanation of why an entire section of Disney World was closed when he was there this year. Art is looking forward to the introduction of some guest singers on the new Rolling Stones album. And Robbie is sitting on the edge of his tomorrow again.

Listen to this episode, watch a Turner Classic Movie, and have a nice day.

The Supervillains are back! And no, we’re not talking about The Guys, though all three of them are in the studio today. It’s time for a catch-up episode on the Regrettable Supervillains segment, aka Jay’s Regrettable Segment.

He mustered up a couple of doozies in this episode. Let us begin. First up is The Dictator, aka Hitler disguised as the devil. The Guys aren’t sure he’s redeemable, but his arch-enemy Mr. Justice has a quirky backstory. Then comes Dr. Dracula, who neither sees patients, teaches students, or hails from Transylvania. What’s up with this guy? Not much, as it turns out. It doesn’t take much for Captain Battle and sidekick Hale to overcome him and his Nazi spies dressed like bats. How a superhero lost an eye might make for a better story.

Before they get to Villain news, though, it’s time for Geeks of the Week. More sad news from Art? Afraid so, and this time it’s Roger Sweet: without him there would be no He-Man movie this year. And there is great anticipation that none of the guys will be able to see any of 2026’s movies in a local Infinity Vision theater - who’s ready to sponsor a work trip to Vegas? Robbie teases the teaser from the new season of Ted Lasso, and also announces (to GOCA listeners, anyway) that there’s about to be one less Cook in the kitchen at Apple. Jay was going to apply for the job, until found out they make computers, not pies.

Pluribus. It’s not just a Latin word on American money. It’s also a surprise hit show on AppleTV. The award nominations and wins are still coming.

It’s not a zombie series, exactly. It’s not an alien series, exactly. It’s not exactly Tough Jobs - it’s more “everybody can do every job” with a splash of Undercover Boss. It’s got tragedy and comedy, but it’s not The Bear, exactly. It has complicated and interesting characters, and only 3 of them out of around 7 billion are cranky. It has beautiful southwestern US backdrops, plus a precarious walk through the Darien Gap. But is it worth 6.75 hours of one’s life? The Guys give it 5 out of 6 thumbs up. Listen to see which one of them is the outlier.

In the Geeks of the Week segment, Jay is behind (again) but he’s pretty sure this bit of Superman news was disguised to him by hypnosis. According to Robbie, the Blair Witch Project is still wandering in the woods. Art (the resident obituary collector) laments the passing of Gerry Conway, a giant in the comics world. All three Guys are back this week, Art has a new retirement uniform, and all is well with the world…except the parts that aren’t.
