Episode Notes Will there be a Punisher Season 3? With Marvel's deal with Netflix almost at an end (Jessica Jones Season 3 is still on its way) it appears unlikely. But we still have Season 2 to deal with so I sit down with Ian Kerner to talk through the 13 episodes story arch. Right off the bat, I say that Punisher Season 1 may be my favorite Marvel Netflix show... so is Season 2 another bad ass b...

It's time for a different Ian to cohost on the Geekscape podcast! Meet Ian Raney, one of the OG Geekscapists, who now lives in Austin, Texas and is one of my Best Friends on Pokemon Go! But there's a lot more to Ian than that, as you will learn when Ian talks about his journey from San Diego to Austin, the ups and downs of post-graduate life and his life reaffirming brush with death. We're not afr...

My man! After many jokes at its expense, it's finally here... an Aquaman movie! But is this the film that gets the last laugh on critics and fans? Maybe! What I do know for sure is that this is the DCEU's weirdest movie of all time! It's actually a lot to pick through so I bring Ian Kerner in to talk about the film's ins and outs and what works and what doesn't. There are tons of SPOILERS so be wa...

On the heels of the blockbuster success of 'Venom', Sony is back with another entry in the Spider-Man universe... this time going in a completely different direction (or a few)! With the fully animated 'Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse', movie audiences are introduced to Miles Morales, the younger Spider-Man originally introduced in the Ultimate Spider-Man comics... but very quickly he meets up w...

Episode Notes Stan "The Man" Lee is gone. The Generalisimo himself was a large part of what we do here at Geekscape. He was our friend, our inspiration and at times our collaborator. I had wanted to do a Geekscape State of the Union podcast with you all for a while now if only to get all of my thoughts to you and let you know how I'm feeling and to gauge the pulse of what it is that we do around h...

Episode Notes Zombies! It seems like just yesterday they were at the top of the roost as pop culture's favorite horror monster! Now, the popularity of zombies seems in decline! And that's just what we were thinking as Geekscape gathers a panel of experts at Los Angeles Comic Con to talk about our favorite decaying pursuers! Is there anything new you can do with the monster? What are some of the si...

Episode Notes 'The Monster Squad' is a definitive 80s Cult Movie. It went almost completely ignored upon its release and only decades later has it amassed the audience it always deserved. And what took so long? With a plot that is basically The Little Rascals versus the classic Universal Monsters, everyone who sees the movie falls in love with it! Well, on this LA Comic Con panel, we've got two of...

Episode Notes We love Giant Robots and Kaiju monsters! Even more, we love talking about them! And this past weekend, at Los Angeles Comic Con, Geekscape hosted a panel talking all about these larger than life passions of ours! Couldn't make it? All good! Now you can listen in to a panel of expert pros and fans alike as we talk some serious deep cuts! From Voltron to Godzilla to Pacific Rim... and...

Episode Notes Marvel's popular Daredevil has returned to Netflix for a 3rd Season... but does this one hit a bullseye!?! Bad pun. I know. But things are a bit rockier for the Devil of Hell's Kitchen in the wake of Netflix's cancellation of both Iron Fist and Luke Cage. What does that mean for future Marvel Netflix shows? Or the upcoming Disney streaming app? And as we get into this SPOILER FILLED...

Longtime Geekscape friend Yuri Lowenthal has been keeping a secret... that he's Spider-Man! But now, the entire world knows because Spider-Man on PS4, in which Yuri plays Peter Parker and Spider-Man, is one of the hottest, system selling games of the year! In this episode, Yuri talks about the long process of auditioning for the roll, having to keep such a giant secret and performing as one of the...

Episode Notes Mega Ran and MC Lars are Nerdcore rappers at the top of their game. And they took some time off from their Rushmore of Nerdcore tour to sit with me and talk about some history. It's like 3 old friends catching up as we talk about their separate histories and what got them into music and about the beginnings of the Nerdcore scene in general. Their most recent collaboration 'The Dewey...

Finally! Hollywood had its way and successfully released the stand-alone 'Venom' movie that they've been trying to make for years! But... is it really a success? What can be argued against an $80 Million opening weekend? Well... a lot. This movie isn't exactly a critical darling. From the script to the fx to the acting to the entire point of making a stand-alone Venom movie in the first place, the...

Our beloved friend, documentary filmmaker Tommy Avallone is back on the show to talk about his latest film 'The Bill Murray Stories: Life Lessons Learned From A Mythical Man'!

We've seen t...

Here's a special mini episode of Geekscape focusing on the idea of strategic quitting! And I wouldn't have brought it to you if I didn't think it wasn't important to hear. We've all found ourselves bogged down in life, especially if we're geek collectors of things like DVDs, comic books, videogames, etc. Maybe we find ourselves in an unfulfilling job or relationship? But what are these things actu...

It's been a long time since Chris Fafalios of Punchline has been on the podcast (unless you count his involvement in the Geekscape theme song which is on EVERY episode)! And a lot has changed in the 10 years since. Punchline continues to put out albums, they're finally touring the West Coast again and Chris has discovered his love of Pokémon, thanks to Pokémon Go! After a show in San Diego, we sit...

Jason Inman (and his wife Ashley Victoria Robinson) have been personal friends of both myself and Geekscape for a long time! And they're also burgeoning comic book creators with last year's successful 'Jupiter Jet' hitting stands! They're back now with their really cool second comic 'Science!', about a school for young genius that may be home to more than just a good education! Jason and Ashley jo...

Netflix and Marvel's 'Iron Fist' Season 2 is out... and is a huge improvement over the controversial first season! There's a new showrunner and only 10 episodes as things get shaken up for both the show and Danny Rand after the events of 'The Defenders' crossover! And Ian and I answer all of your questions and give you a couple Easter Eggs in the process! How is Alice Eve as villain Typhoid Mary?...

As I tell you in the intro, my knowledge of MC Chris was fairly minimal when he was proposed to me as a guest... but I knew he was really cool and a lot of my friends were fans and that was good enough for me! Well, after having him on the podcast I gotta tell you that I'm now a fan and he IS very cool! But the pop culture rapper, animator, comedian and actor is so much more than that! As we soon...

Udo Kier is one of the most recognizable cult actors working today! Sure, he regularly works with critically acclaimed auteurs like Lars Von Trier, Gus Van Sant and Wim Wenders, but he can also be seen in fun, popular movies like 'Blade', 'Armageddon', 'Ace Ventura: Pet Detective' and 'Iron Sky'! This week, Udo returns in the next chapter of the Puppet Master horror series... 'Puppet Master: The L...

I may have mentioned back during Season 1 just how great Cinemax's 'Outcast' series, based on the Images Comics series by Robert Kirkman and Paul Azaceta, is! Well, I hope you listened because Season 2 is airing right now and it is just as great! To celebrate the show's return, I sat down with series star Patrick Fugit and showrunner Chris Black and talked about the uniqueness of this supernatural...

The RKSS Film Collective, directors François Simard, Anouk Whissell and Yoann-Karl Whissell, first came on the scene a few years ago with their Mad Max meets comic books and VHS nosalgia celebration 'Turbo Kid'. Now, RKSS is back with the equaly nostalgic yet entirely different 'Summer Of '84', a serial killer next door suspence thriller that mixes 'The Goonies' with 'Rear Window'. RKSS sat down w...

Geekscapists! We're back from San Diego Comic Con 2018 but that doesn't mean that the work is over! Just the opposite!

Why did she team with us? What's the story? Wher...

This is it! The San Diego Comic Con 2018 Spectacular! But it comes with a heavy heart as we remember one of our own: our beloved Jon Schnepp, frequent Geekscape guest and dear friend. We start things off on a somber note with Jon's good friend Maddox, who shared a booth with Jon as our neighbor at SDCC's past. We reflect on Jon's influence on us and share a few Jon memories. Following up are Geeks...

San Diego Comic Con 2018 is upon us! And to prep you for it, I sit down with Geekscape staff members Matt Kelly and Derek Kraneveldt to talk about everything coming up in the world of Geekscape this week!
