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

Apple (AAPL 0.93%) talks with Comcast (CMCSA 1.87%) about crafting a special set-top box for the network, as Facebook (FB 0.09%) surfaces memories of dot-com excess with its $2 billion purchase of Oculus. Will either move benefit shareholders? And what about Divergent? Will critical reviews doom Lions Gate's (LGF +0.00%) franchise-in-the-making as Twenty-First Century Fox (FOXA +0.00%) coaxes Marvel superheroes fans with a fresh trailer for X-Men: Days of Future Past? Ellen Bowman, Nathan Alderman, and Tim Beyers have these stories and more in this week's episode of 1-Up on Wall Street!
