This is the top ten Geek stories of 2024, according to EYG!

#10. Diddy. This should probably be higher up this list, but I just did not want to have such a negative story up the list. It needed to be mentioned… so there… I’m done.

#9. Jon Stewart returned to The Daily Show. Jon Stewart returned to the Daily Show for Mondays during the election season… and decided to stay longer. I know I have missed him.

#8. Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour ends. In December of this year, Taylor Swift’s incredibly successful tour came to a close. 21 months and $2 Billion of ticket sales. Yeah that was billion with a B!

#7. TikTok Banned. The US has decided that TikTok will be banned because it is some kind of Chinese data collection. It is scheduled to be banned on January 19, 2025. Supreme Court gave its okey-dokey. Will it actually happen?

#6. Drones in New Jersey. Government called them drones… however, the conspiracy theorists and UFO supporters believe something else. I wonder if we will ever truly know the truth.

#5. “I’m Just Ken” steals the show at the Oscars. Though the song did not win the Oscar, the performance absolutely stole the show. Ryan Gosling and a gaggle of Kens danced and sang and blew the crowd away.

#4. Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson on Netflix. This was a massive match, but the live stream on Netflix did not handle things well. I know I was unable to watch it because of the infamous spinning wheel of doom. Jake Paul won, by the way.

#3. Deadpool and Wolverine. The only MCU movie this year was a massive hit with Deadpool and Wolverine teaming up and becoming the highest grossing rated R movie in history, with over 1.33 billion dollars in box office worldwide. It was also the highest grossing opening weekend of the year with $211 million.

#2. Inside Out 2 dominates. The biggest movie of the year is Pixar’s Inside Out 2, making almost 1.7 billion dollars at the world wide box office. It was a huge hit for Pixar and was one of the reasons Disney made over $5 Billion at the box office this year.

#1. Robert Downey Jr. returns to the MCU…as Dr. Doom? Staggering news coming out of San Diego Comic Con this year as Marvel Studios announced that RDJ is going to be playing Victor Von Doom in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars films. The news blew up the internet for weeks afterward as everyone had an opinion.
