Spidey is back with a new animated series on Disney+... but it also brings some confusion. Is this new high school set series of 10 episodes a part of the MCU? Is this Tom Holland's Peter Parker? But other MCU actors are here playing their MCU roles? What big changes did they make to Spider-Man's classic supporting cast? Where does this series sit among the animated Spider-Man shows? Ian Kerner jo...

Finally! Musician (and wonderful human being) Joel Reader is back on the Geekscape schedule! I first met Joel in 1998 as a member of the iconic Bay Area rock band The Mr. T Experience (aka my favorite band). Since then, Joel has gone on to form bands like The Plus Ones and the Boston area Power Pop group The Fatal Flaw! The whole time, Joel has remained an active part of punk groups Pansy Division...

Disney+'s 'Star Wars: Skeleton Crew' just wrapped its first season... and will there be more? We ask that question and many more as Ian Kerner and I visit that galaxy far, far away with the Goonies in Space style series 'Star Wars: Skeleton Crew'! Were these brand new characters, droids, aliens, and planets as good as we'd all hoped? Does this series reawaken that old Star Wars magic? Is the myste...

Ian Kerner and I discuss James Gunn's first (official) entry to his new DCEU with the animated 'Creature Commandos'! Just who are the Creature Commandos? Is it like the Suicide Squad?

Strange Creatures lurk...

They lost everything they own. We here at Geeksca...

Marvel's animated series 'What If...?' was released on Disney+. And it's a shame, because the first two seasons are some of the best storytelling the MCU has to offer, with multi-versal interpretations of some of our favorite Marvel characters! And sometimes these animated alternates find their way to the wider MCU, like the fan favorite Captain Carter! Now that Season 3 has concluded, it's time t...

Finally! Sony has released the final chapter in its Spider-Man-less Spider-Man villain series of films with 'Kraven: The Hunter'! Starring Aaron Taylor Johnson, Kraven's solo adventure sees him hunting down the bad people who deal drugs, run crime syndicates and do what he does in the comics: hunt animals! But that's not the only deviation from the source material! Ian Kerner joins me to pick thro...

Kevin Smith's 'Chasing Amy' is one of my favorite films. I was just discussing its themes of friendship, love and disappointment yesterday. But it may mean even more to filmmaker Sav Rodgers. As a 12 year old queer kid from Kansas, 'Chasing Amy' forced a coming of age Sav to come to terms with his identity. In 'Chasing Chasing Amy' Rodgers examines the film and its making as a cornerstone of LGBTQ...

Did people think they were nuts or was there a little bit more method to their madness? Join us as we talk some filmmaking nuts a...

My friend Xaque Gruber wrote and directed a semi-autobiographical film about meeting his idol Sally Kirkland... and that's just the start of the crazy story. But how much of it is true?
