Three Fools take to the air to tell you how to profit from the rising influence of geek culture.

Can Sony (SONY 0.32%) deliver games the way Netflix delivers videos? Will Syfy's medical thriller Helix heal recent ratings woes? Will enough people watch the pirates of Black Sails or the travails of a time-displaced nurse in Outlander to make Starz (STRZA) stock pay off for investors? Ellen Bowman, Nathan Alderman, and Tim Beyers have these stories and the dish on the design (or lack thereof) for X-Men: Days of Future Past in this week's episode of 1-Up on Wall Street!
