Geekscape

This week the Geekscapists are the stars of the show as I take on an avalanche of nonstop phone calls from the audience! I also respond to last week's feedback on the brand new format! Who got snubbed in today's Oscar nominations? Who should have been? Superior Spider-Man swings onto shelves and already seems like he doesn't want to stick around! Gunman Clive is the coolest, and cheapest, videogam...

Corey Roberts says some inappropriate jokes! 'The Baytown Out...

Alright! It's an Unexpected Journey Into Darkness! My almost complete thoughts on 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey"! Why 48 fps doesn't bother me! Are there really pacing issues? What IS the Geek Movie Of The Year? Star Trek Into Darkness gets a new trailer and 9 minutes… but what does it mean!?! Getting into comics? What should you read? 'Adventure Time' gets an awesome game! PLUS! Jonathan ope...

Last week we announced that we are joining the Toadhop Network! But wait… what is that?!? Luckily, Toadhop Program Director Johnny Ice is available to talk to us about all things Toadhop!

As 12 year olds growing up in Mississippi in the 1980s, Chris Strompolos and Eric Zala first saw 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'. Their lives would be changed forever as they set out over the next 7 years to remake the Spielberg classic shot for shot. Now known as "the best fan film ever made", 'Raiders: The Adaptation' has been seen by thousands and celebrated around the world. I sat down with Chris an...

For the past few weeks, I've been hosting 'Pause/Play' for the folks at Metacafe! We review and highlight the latest releases on DVD and Bluray… and I do a pretty good job of embarrassing myself for thousands of viewers. If you're a Geekscape listener, you'll no doubt enjoy the show. And if you're not, give it a try and maybe you'll discover something you love! Either way, I take to producer Matt...

Welcome back from Thanksgiving break! I talk 'Lincoln' vs 'The Life of Pi' in the Oscar race! Is Joseph Gordon Levitt playing Batman in a Justice League movie?

This is my WiiU camp out audio diary! From 4pm to midnight, I camped out in front of a Los Angeles Best Buy with other Nintendo Die Hards, excited to be one of the first to get my hands on the Wii U! What dangers did we face? What games were we looking forward to the most? Would we fight with the guy in the Black Friday line? Would I even get a chance to get a system? Listen to all the excitement...

Longtime friend of the show Tyson Breuer joins in on a brand new Geekscape to talk about film festivals, his history with Geekscape… and Geekdrome before it… and the WiiU! We talk about Tyson's addiction to Yoshi's Fruit Cart, the hell that is the Octopus Dance and whether or not Nintendoland is just a collection of iOS games! And what about New Super Mario Bros. U? Jonathan shares his thoughts. A...

Tripp Vinson is the producer of the brand new 'Red Dawn' remake, out in the U.S. Thanksgiving week. He took time from his busy pre-release week to sit down with me and talk about the film, why he wanted to take on the remake of a cult classic and the hurdles he had to cross to bring it to the screen! He also talks about casting talented actors-turned-megastars, his approach to an audience's reacti...

Derek Miller returns to Geekscape to talk about his new TBS comedy series "The Wedding Band", premiering this weekend! Derek talks about getting the gig after not knowing how to play the drums, becoming friends with Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox and talking to Lost's Harold Perrineau about the series ending! Also, what Derek gave up comic books for, making it in Hollywood and what games he's st...

The Fanboy Comics crew have been supportive of Geekscape for a long time and it's about time they got a chance to say hello to all of you! I ran into Bryant, Barbra and Sam at LBCC and we talked about their brand new graphic novel "Identity Thief" and drawing real world inspiration into their work! Also, how are things going with their book "Something Animal"? Is there a truth behind the Fanboy Co...

At LBCC I got a chance to talk to one of my favorite creators… Mike Mignola of Hellboy and B.P.R.D. fame. In this short conversation, we talk about the death of Hellboy, if he'll return and the evolution of the B.P.R.D. (one of my favorite regular comics). We also talk about the future of Baltimore, one of Mike's collaborations, and one of my favorite regular miniseries. I can't recommend it enoug...

Gilmore is back and things get pretty rude pretty quickly! Longtime Geekscape contributor Brian Gilmore is back on the show to talk Halloween, the rise of Cosplay and why Jonathan is a massive jerk. In news, all we can talk about is Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm and the Avenger-izing of the X-Men franchise at Fox! What does the future of Star Wars look like? Plus, Gilmore says 'Wreck It Ralph'...

This episode I talk to filmmaker Ward Roberts about his film 'Dust Up', currently available on VOD. A loud and gritty, violent, modern Western, 'Dust Up' is the kind of cult movie we love to introduce you to here on Geekscape. Similar to 'The FP' and other uniquely awesome films, I think you'll get a kick out of our conversation, talking about making the film, casting Buffy's Amber Benson… and wha...

What a week! While I was working on our slew of Geekscape related projects, like 'Doc of the Dead', the Geekscape went crazy!

Is Logan taking on the webslinger's role? Is "The American Scream" worth scaring up this Halloween? How badly does "Arrow" miss the mark… if at all? What's the latest on Comics on Comics? What about Doc of the Dead? Oh… AND A...

AvX has come to a close and Uncanny Avenger's has ushered in the beginnings of Marvel Now! So… what do we think? Was AvX a giant event worth experiencing? Does Scott Summers deserve to be public enemy number one? How will Marvel Now integrate the Avengers and X-Men teams and lead to a better Marvel Universe? Enthusiast and expert Ian Kerner is on the podcast to help me figure it all out! Learn mor...

How fit are you? I start this episode trying to find out! Then I tell you how good or just silly 'Taken 2' is! Plus, is AvX really over? Where does it go from here? What Batman comics should I read if I'm scared of crossovers? Why Jeff Lemire's 'The Underwater Welder' is definitely something you should pick up! Does the New Super Mario Bros 2 'DLC' add anything and is 'Resident Evil 6' deserving o...

I sit down with director Ciaran Foy to talk about his psychological thriller 'Citadel' and its autobiographical roots. Is it a horror movie? Is it not a horror movie? I really enjoyed this conversation, getting to talk to another director about motivated camera movements, externalizing the internal character beats and working to make an original piece of cinema. Did Ciaran succeed? Well, 'Citadel'...

I'm trying a brand new offering to the Geekscape podcast, dictated by my rambling streams of consciousness and obsessive need to over think the media that I take in. Today, let's talk about P.T. Anderson's 'The Master', specifically the metaphor that Scientology provides and how it can be used to talk about art, film and Anderson himself. If you've got something to say, throw it on the site! Learn...

This GeekscapePod is a bit packed! I give an update on 'Doc of the Dead' and our friend Matt Mogk's campaign to get George Romero his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! Three really strong movies are out now that you should see: 'Looper', 'Dredd 3D' and 'End of Watch'. I list why Rion Johnson should be at the top of the list for Doctor Strange directors! 'Happy' is almost more of the same from Gr...

This was a lot of fun! While wandering the floor at Comikaze, I discovered an entire Intellivison booth and met original game programmer Keith Robinson, who began creating games for Intellivision back in 1981!
