This week on Geekscape, we bring you back to Pasadena Comic Con where The (Midnight) Night Boyz invade Pasadena Comic Con in order to discuss lesser-known Sci-Fi movies & tv shows! On a special collab with 80s Kids Unite's Zak and Corey, and Max from Ready2Retro, we share this fan-packed panel at last month’s Pasadena Comic Con. The “Boyz” reflect on forgotten sci-fi movies and TV shows that hit (...

Musician Steve Coulter of the rock band Ridel High returns to Geekscape (maybe you know him as music writer S.W. Lauden)! If you're unfamiliar with Ridel High, they are one of the L.A. rock bands that landed a major label deal in the wake of Weezer's successful debut... and you may be unfamiliar with them because not all of those bands "made it". But I loved their one album in college and have had...

With little press and fanfare, Marvel's 'Wonder Man' landed on Disney+... resulting in almost unanimous praise from both fans and critics!

Do both of their f...

Geekscapists! We made it into 2026! Well... kind of. Sure, the real world is a giant freaking mess, but that's why we like to "escape to the Geekscape" as our theme song proclaims!

Alejandro Montoya Marin's 'The Unexpecteds' is the kind of fast, fun, and hilarious indie gem that I love to spotlight on Geekscape! I went to the Los Angeles premiere of the film, not knowing what to expect, and immediately fell in love with the high-energy underdog story about a team of scammed and down-and-out cast-offs putting together a heist to get their money back! Starring Matt Walsh and e...

Fan favorite writer Timothy Zahn is a Star Wars legend! As the author of the original Thrawn trilogy in the early 90s (and numerous subsequent Star Wars novels), Zahn helped keep the Star Wars flame lit during the franchise's post-Return of the Jedi slumber. And at GalaxyCon San Jose, I had the honor of moderating the Spotlight on Timothy Zahn panel, where he shared stories about the creation of G...

How close did the movie stick to the comics? Was this the best film version of the Fantastic Four to date? How does this tie in to the greater MCU? What the heck is 'Avengers: Doomsday'? And when might we...

Filmmaker Chuck Russell should be a Geekscape household name just for directing 'The Mask' and 'A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors'! Or maybe you know him from his remake of 'The Blob' or 'The Scorpion King'! Whatever the reason, Chuck deserves your geek adoration, and now he's visiting Geekscape to talk about his brand new horror movie 'Witchboard'! We discuss his moving camera, the conn...

Flying in to save the day and deliver to us a brand new DC cinematic universe, it's 'Superman', the much-anticipated James Gunn reboot of the Man of Steel! And the film had a lot of lifting to do, with high expectations of the new cast, a brighter beginning to an upcoming and interconnected film and TV slate, and the hit and miss inconsistency of the Snyderverse fresh in our hearts. So does the fi...

Longtime Geekscape family member Wordburglar flies into Geekscape to talk about his brand new comic book project: 'Wordburglar Rhymes With Comics'!

So, of course, he's on Geekscape again! Y...

Marvel's latest Disney+ series 'Ironheart' zoomed onto TV screens without much fanfare. But did that reflect a low level of confidence in the 6-episode series or an overcrowded media landscape? After spinning off from 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' and Marvel's Iron Man books, does the character have what it takes to stand on her own? Ian Kerner joins me to discuss all six episodes (so SPOILERS!...
