I also profess my love for MTV's 'The...

Actor and self professed "Cinnabon Monster" Edward Hong is our guest this week on Geekscape, and he's got a pretty emotional origin story! We talk with him about not threatening gun violence in middle school and how Cinnabon literally changed his life!

Adi Shankar is a multiple threat creative: an actor, director, writer and producer whose work includes films like 'The Grey', 'Dredd', 'Lone Survivor' and more.

This week, we've got him on Geekscape to talk about t...

Angela Zhou is an actress most recently seen on AMC's Western railroad series 'Hell On Wheels'... but her role was shrouded in mystery when she was originally introduced as a male character!

Michele Morrow has been covering all aspects of Blizzard and World of Warcraft for years now on places like Nerdist, Geek And Sundry and Direct TV. So obviously, as WoW noobs, she's the best person around to help educate us on the subject... especially after making fools of ourselves talking about the 'Warcraft' trailer last week! Of course, we also talk about our addictions to Fallout 4, say than...

Longtime Geekscape friend Andrew Duvall comes on the Geekscape podcast to talk about his new project 'Mystery Weekend Package'!

Rus Gutin is an actor, writer, stand up comedian and all around Man About Town... and now he's a father twice over! I first met Rus years ago while doing stand up and he's back to play a little game of catch up with all of us, while celebrating the release of his first stand up DVD 'Legal Guardian' (and maybe the birth of his daughter too).

Up until yesterday, 'Mortal Kombat: Legacy' and TV director Kevin Tancharoen had never seen 'The Iron Giant'.

Well, lucky for him that I'm in Vancouver and took him to see 'The Iron Giant: Signature Edition' at the local theater! We talk about how incredible this movie still is and about his work on The...

I love this episode! Filmmakers Corey Landis and Roger Lay Jr. grew up, like many of us, with the iconic 80s cartoon and action figure 'He-Man'! This was our childhood! But then, not only did we grow up... but He-Man kind of disappeared from the cultural consciousness, replaced by Transformers, GI Joe and Ninja Turtles! What was the story behind He-Man anyways? He seemed to be the first of all of...

It's time to come to terms with this past weekend's 'Fantastic Four' film. Yes, it was exactly as the internet said it was, a tortured, uninspired presentation of Marvel's First Family. But is there light at the end of the tunnel? YES. We try and guide you back to a world of hope and positivity (two things that are VERY Fantastic Four) as we talk through the missteps and where things might go from...

This week's episode was recorded LIVE on the campus of Yale University at Explo 2015! Just what IS Explo? Well, you're going to listen to get the full answer to that one, but you know how they say "you can't go home again?" Well, I kind of did, returning to my old teenage summer camp as a Scholar in Residence to talk to the campers about film, writing and video games... so basically a weeklong Gee...
