Geekscape

'Midnighters' is a Hitchcock-style, modern thriller done on an indie budget and it definitely deserves a place on your radar! To celebrate the release of the film this past weekend, I had director Julius Ramsay, screenwriter Alston Ramsay and star Alexandra Essoe on the show to talk about inspirations for the real-world story, shooting the film in New England the middle of winter and motivations f...

Friend, Writer, Director and Producer James Cotten has 4 features under his belt but has never been on Geekscape! What is going on in the world!?!

Along the way, we talk about the difficulties of making an indie Western, James' career that led to it and growing...

After this past weekend, 'Black Panther' isn't just a movie! It's a full blown movement!

You know how we do these Geekscape Specials so SPOILER WARNING as Ian Kerner and I sit down to talk about Marvel's latest. What worked (and didn't work) in brin...

Also, a horse took off...

Here it is! Another episode of Geekscape Origins... and this one is a biggie! For 4 years in undergrad, Kevin McCaffrey and I hosted a weekly radio show (or two) from the University of Pennsylvania. The show included punk rock, interviews, pranks and over 200 original voice characters. Without those years, there is no Geekscape. This is probably the most influential single event in the birth of th...

Teymur Madjderey from Cologne, Germany has been a Geekscapist since before there was a Geekscape, way back on the Geekdrome Revision3 forums where he was known as the mysterious 'IcedSoul'!

Here's a special episode to ring in 2018... and you longterm Geekscapists are going to love it as we explore a time before Geekscape! Before there was Geekscape, before there was Geekdrome, before there was college radio... there was my first job: at Westlake Comics And Cards in Austin Texas.

Erin Darling is a comedian, host, actress, writer and podcaster... but I met her a looooooong time ago as a girl fresh out of college starting out in Hollywood. We play serious catch up on this episode as she hilariously takes me through the ups and downs of her dating life, stand up comedy and a little bit of magic. As the host of the podcast "V-Carded", Erin also turns the tables on me as we dis...

I'll be the first to admit that I know next to nothing about 'Dragon Ball Z'... but that didn't stop me from enjoying the hell out of the original fan production 'Dragon Ball Z: Light of Hope'!

It's my pleasure to introduce the Geekscapists to Lauren and Katie of the K-Lo Sketch Show! I've been saying it for a long time Lauren and Katie are the two funniest people I know... and they're also the most driven. Every month, they put on a brand new, 2-person improv, sketch and variety show from the ground up: the K-Lo Sketch Show! And it really is a pretty amazing show (which now regularly pl...

This is a rare glimpse into the world of this fairly private Geekscapist so you won't want...

'Thor: Ragnarok' has arrived and it is glorious! Crammed to the gills with action, humor, massive set pieces and wonderful character moments, Thor's 3rd solo film is widely regarded as his best yet.
