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 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'.

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!

After the universe shattering events of 'Avengers: Infinity War' you might be asking yourself what the consequence of Marvel's new 'Ant-Man And The Wasp' are! Maybe you just have a ton of questions! Like where was Scott? Does this movie take place at the same time as 'Inifinity War'? Why should we care about a funny movie about two tiny heroes after everything that just happened? What Easter Eggs...

Season 2 of Netflix and Marvel's 'Luke Cage' has returned to the streets of Harlem and this season picks up right where 'The Defenders' and Season 1 left off!

We discuss the current climate of bullies, both in gradeschool and in society, and growing up with...

Straight from New York City (and from a New York City diner no less!) I sit with old friends Jim Pellegrinelli, Nicole Walker and Scott Klopfenstein and discuss 'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom'... which we all just survived (MAJOR SPOILERS)! Do we wish it had gone extinct? Were there parts that we liked? Are all the good stories being told on TV now? We discuss Westworld Season 2 and if we're stil...

'WolfCop' is back for 'Another WolfCop', the sequel to one of the most outrageous cult films in recent memory! Along for the ride is returning writer/director Lowell Dean, who Skypes with me on a new Geekscape podcast to talk about werewolves, horror movies, the challenges of making indie films no matter where you live and a lot more! What was up with the first WolfCop sex scene? And did he set ou...

'Deadpool 2' is out! But now we've got a lot of questions! Like who is Cable? Who is Domino? They did WHAT in the first 15 minutes? How does Deadpool 2 fit with the X-Men films? How close is Cable's origin story to the one in the comics? How does Deadpool 2 movie set up an X-Force film? What characters would be in an X-Force movie? Does this change the X-Men timeline? Should you bring your kids to...

'Henry Danger' star Cooper Barnes is a longtime Geekscapist and one of the only superheros that we can also call our friend (most are our enemies)! Before he suits up for a fifth season as Captain Man, Cooper drops by Geekscape to talk about whether or not this will be the show's final season, how Nickelodeon broke it to him that Captain Man's name won't be in the title of the Henry Danger cartoon...

'The Concessionaires Must Die!' is an independent film years in the making! Just how many? Well, you'll have to listen to the podcast for answers like that!
