Happy New Year!  Welcome, discerning listeners, to 2022 of the Discerning Geeks Portal.  Going since mid-2020 and approaching 100 episodes, we begin the year by reviewing the year behind us, with 2021 being our first full calendar year of podcasting.

In this episode, we discuss (or at least mention)...

 - Betty White  :(

 - "WandaVision" on Disney+

 - "Lost In Space" on Netflix

 - Other Marvel shows on Disney+

 - "For All Mankind" on Apple TV+

 - "Spider-Man: No Way Home" & Venom (possibly slightly spoilery, but barely, I think)

 - "Eternals"

 - "Shang-Chi"

 - "No Time to Die"

 - "Ghostbusters: Afterlife"

 - "Black Widow"

 - "Zack Snyder’s Justice League"

 - "Godzilla vs. Kong"

 - "Yum Yum Podcast" and "White Rocket Babylon 5 Review Podcast," two podcasts currently reviewing episodes of Babylon 5 (something we'll be doing soon too; see below)

 - "Fandom Hybrid," another podcast that reviews TV shows & movies, especially in the MCU, founded & co-hosted by a fellow Dragon Con attendee

We also talked about what we're looking forward to and hoping for in 2022.

 - One of the Daves & Andruw joining Todd for Dragon Con in 2022

 - COMING SOON:  "Discerning Lurkers Portal: A Babylon 5 Podcast," our first spin-off

 - Our hopes to start playing "Monster of the Week" RPG again in 2022, which we're recording with plans/hopes to release as podcast episodes, like we did with D&D in episodes #034 to #036

 - Season 3 of "The Orville" comes in March, with Babylon 5's Bruce Boxleitner playing the role of a blue-skinned alien president.

 - A possible Babylon 5 reboot

 - More of "The Book of Boba Fett" (one episode already released at the very tail end of 2021)
