What is Geek Critique?

Geek Critic is a short-form podcast for sci-fi and fantasy nerds who want smart episode reviews without the fluff. Hosted by Oren, each season focuses on one TV show — breaking down every episode in under 10 minutes with spoiler-filled commentary, reactions, and analysis.

From The Expanse to The Wheel of Time, Rings of Power, and the latest MCU shows, Oren explores the best (and weirdest) of genre TV — one season at a time. He doesn’t jump around mid-season, so if a show starts, you’ll hear every episode in that arc before moving on.

Audio-only. Nerdy as hell. Built for fans who love storytelling, worldbuilding, and geeking out over what works (and what doesn’t).
