Geekscape

Longtime Geeskcapist Zack Haddad returns to the show to talk news, both personal and pop culture! We talk about his recent surprise marriage and whether or not Shane O’Hare is allowed to stay this summer for Comic Con Tuesday after almost falling on his cat. We also talk about Star Wars comics leaving Dark Horse for Marvel and what it means to the Star Wars Extended Universe! CES is going on and t...

On the final day of 2013, Jon Schnepp joins me to talk about our favorite movies of 2013… and some of our not so favorite! Will ’12 Years a Slave’ be a shoe in at the Oscars or ‘American Hustle’? Will people forget movies like ‘Gravity’ or ‘Prisoners’? What about ‘Her’ and ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’? As great as ‘Pacific Rim’ was… is it as much geek fun as ‘Man of Steel’ and ‘Thor 2’? Really, this...

Jon Hotchkiss is a TV show creator with extensive credits for shows like 'Penn and Teller's Bullshit!' and 'Politically Incorrect'. Last week I discovered Jon Hotchikiss' 'This VS That' website through a friend and read a story about his TV show 'This VS That', a science test show that has never aired in the US and that Jon distributes independently through his website. The blog post talked about...

Every time Ian Kerner guests on a new Geekscape episode, it's like a major event… just like the release of 'The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug'! Ian and I sit down, break down Peter Jackson's second film in The Hobbit trilogy and how it just feels good to be back among old (and new friends) in Middle Earth! Spoilers abound, obviously, as we get right to the thick of it, just like journeying into...

Mel Caylo is a longtime friend of Geekscape so it's surprising that this is his first appearance! Don't worry, because the popular comic book everyman has a lot to say! From his work at Boom! Studios to his previous gig at Archaia (now a part of Boom!), Mel knows the indie comics industry backwards and forwards. He takes this opportunity to give you the latest on what Boom! is putting out and what...

Not all good things can last and while the live shows at Toadhop have been a blast, the studio is closing up and it's time to go another way. Geekscape will always keep trucking, as you know, but this is the last Toadhop episode for the time being. Matt Raub and Ben Dunn join Kenny and I on a classic Geekscape episode in which we review 'Hunger Games: Catching Fire' and 'The Dallas Buyers Club', t...

Jeff Grace makes his return to the show to talk about his brand new film 'Folk Hero And Funny Guy' that he's currently raising funds for, starring 'Girls' actor Alex Karpovsky! Plus, he's got a one hour Hulu comedy special coming out in January that he can only tell us a little bit about (what's the fun in that!?!)! Also, Jeff talks about releasing his movie 'It's a Disaster' on the same weekend a...

Actress and host Marisha Ray makes her much deserved Geekscape debut! She talks about her projects 'Super Power Beat Down' and 'Batgirl: Spoiled'! And of course, because drama should follow any good actress, this could be the end of 'Batgirl: Spoiled' since Warner Bros just sent them a cease and desist! What are they going to do now!?! Also, how wearing a spirit hood absolutely makes you less of a...

Hot off the heels of Stan Lee's Comikaze, Jon Schnepp drops in to Geekscape to talk about the status of his Kickstarted documentary 'The Death of Superman Lives: What Happened?' and his new project 'Unicrom: The Unicorn Barbarian', which is a project so amazing you'll just have to check it out for yourself! Also, my parents sit in as guest co-hosts and we talk about writing, how video games as a k...

Here's a clip from the Lion Forge Comics panel at the 2013 Stan Lee's Comikaze Expo in which my editor Shannon Denton and I talk a bit more about what's coming up in our Miami Vice comic book series! Is it in continuity? What characters will be included? What's being changed and what's staying the same? And of course, will there be any sex? Rampage Jackson himself (who was sitting next to me durin...

From The Walking Dead to Left 4 Dead and World War Z to Rob Zombie,Zombies are everywhere these days (well, at least in pop culture). But could they actually make the transition from fictional monsters to fact? In this panel, we sit down with Matt Mogk, Zombie specialist and head of The Zombie Research Society, Gavin Hignight from FEARnet and Shawn Kirkham from Skybound Entertainment (The Walking...

Everyone loves Godzilla, Power Rangers, Ultra-Man, Rodan, Kamen Rider and Giant Robots! And recently, Hollywood has gotten in on the act with Kaiju and Giant Robot films like Pacific Rim and next summer’s Godzilla film. Are these Japanese mainstays the next big thing in American pop-culture (or is it just another Hollywood trend)? I'm joined by working Hollywood professionals like F.J. DeSanto (Cy...

On the main stage at the 2013 Comikaze Expo, I got a chance to sit down with actor and director Edward James Olmos and talk about Battlestar Gallactica, Miami Vice, Blade Runner and more! As a surprise addition, actor Michael Hogan joins us to talk about playing Colonel Tigh to Olmos' Captain Adama and doing voice work on Skyrim and Mass Effect! Learn more about your ad choices.

Comikaze is this weekend! It's been a long time coming… and nobody knows Comikaze better than the cast of Syfy's 'Fangasm', who served as Comikaze interns this past spring! This is a really solid episode as we discuss issues like Cosplay is not Consent with Molly McIsaac, what got us into being geeks with Kristin Hackett and Paul Perkins and Marvel VS DC with Mike Reed! Also, what REALLY went down...

Longtime friend Canyon Prince returns to Geekscape, hot off the heels of finishing his first two films as part of '2 Guys And A Film'! This time he brings along fellow filmmaker James Thomas and actor J Michael Briggs! They break down the successful productions of 'Hard Sun', which I loved, and 'Run Like Hell' and talk about the next step… a slate of FIVE back to back productions! If you're an ind...

The next game in the Batman Arkham series hits next week with 'Batman: Arkham Origins'! But this time there are some changes! Developer Rocksteady Games has given way to Warner Brothers Montreal and both Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill have been replaced as Batman and The Joker! Luckily, I think we're in really good hands, as new Batman voice actor Roger Craig Smith can attest to on this episode as h...

A packed episode! In the first half hour, we have the cast of the hilarious 'Bitter Party of Five'! If you haven't watched an episode yet, go to Blip.tv and check it out. They are amazing! Mary Birdsong, Greg Cromer, Tricia O'Kelley and Romy Rosemont talk failed pilots, the ups and down of being a Hollywood actor and spider impregnation… don't worry… it makes perfect sense! Then, in the second hal...

Last week, Brian Tee got us rooting for 'Mortal Kombat: Legacy 2' as Liu Kang! Now, on the day of the new series' release on Machinima, director Kevin Tancharoen joins us in the studio to talk video games, Mortal Kombat and Hollywood adaptations! On top of that, our friend Andrew Duvall from SyFy's 'Fangasm' joins me as as co-host to talk about Geek Sincerity VS Reality TV! This is a great episode...

Actor Brian Tee is the latest actor to take on the role of Liu Kang in Machinima's 'Mortal Kombat: Legacy' Season 2. And this summer, we saw Brian get tossed out a window by Hugh Jackman in 'The Wolverine'. So of course I jumped at the chance to have him on the show to talk comics and video games! In this episode, we talk about how his character D.K. in 'Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift' was actu...

Destin Pfeff and Rachel Federoff are best known as castmembers of the reality show 'Millionaire Matchmaker', but they're actually huge, passionate geeks. This episode, they bring to Geekscape their specific sense of style, educate me on the ins and outs of Cyberlesque and talk about growing up geeks. Destin gives his opinions on the new Robocop trailer and we discuss the plus and minuses of Hollyw...

PAX Prime is over and it's time to sift through the ashes! The brain trust of Noah Roman, Garrett Medina and Ash Paulsen join me this week to discuss everything that they witnessed in Seattle! What were the highlights from the weekend? How is PAX different than E3? Is the 2DS still a joke? What games are we looking forward to the most? Were there any indies that jumped out? Does Garrett play too m...

Jacob Lopez is Geekscape's longest running videogame writer! Six years ago, Jacob (known as Jake108 around these parts) asked to do a preview of Halo 3 for the site and the rest is history. Now on the verge of GTA 5, Batman Arkham Origins and the rest of the Fall releases, Jake and I sit down to talk about what's exciting and not so exciting. We also provide an update on the PS4 vs XBox One debate...

F.J. DeSanto is a film producer whose credits include Frank Miller's 'The Spirit' (but I love him for producing the animated 'Turok: Son of Stone')! But he's also a comic book writer! Now he's on Geekscape talking about his new Archaia comic book 'Cyborg 009', based on the classic manga from legendary creator Shotaro Ishinomori! I also talk some Turok (because Turok is awesome) and F.J. helps to e...

This is it! Geekscape 300! Joining us for this super-sized Geekscape spectacular is Clerks star Marilyn Ghigiotti, who not only brings us lasagna (which made my head explode), but also catches us up on her post-Clerks work and talks about the process of finding out she's going to be in 'Clerks 3'! Gilmore, Ben Dunn and Ian Kerner appear to reenact the first Geekscape! Witney Siebold and Jason Tros...

It's Shark Week! So of course we have to have 'Sharknado' writer Thunder Levin on the show to talk about the biggest TV hit of the summer! Among the things we'll be covering: where did the idea come from, why writer Sharknado but not 'Shark Storm' and the revelation of Ian Ziering as a big time action hero! Was anyone prepared for the Sharknado craze (could they ever be!?!)? Also, what's with all...
