Three Geeky Dads

"We all go a little mad sometimes..." Truer words were never spoken and with that chilling line, delivered with icy coolness by Norman Bates, we kick off this year's IN THE MARCH OF MADNESS series with, non other than, Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece, PSYCHO!  

This week, we're taking a look at Ridley Scott's groundbreaking, visually striking 1982 movie, Blade Runner. It tells the story of a retired cop, Rick Deckerd, who happens to be a former BLADE RUNNER, a specially trained breed of cop whose sole duty is to hunt down "replicants", artificial beings created for hard labor off-world. Replicants are not allowed back on their home planet under pain of d...

Tonight, we bring your the next episode in our Futuristic February series where we take a look at Terry Gilliam's 1984 film, Brazil. The film tells the story of Sam Lowry, an overworked technocrat in a futuristic society that is needlessly convoluted and inefficient. Sam dreams of a life where he can fly away from technology and overpowering bureaucracy, and spend eternity with the woman of his dr...

The next in our Futuristic February series is here. This time we take a look at the 1999 film, The Thirteenth Floor. In the film, Douglas Hall awakens to discover a bloody shirt in his house and that his boss, friend and mentor was murdered the night before. Did he do it? Why can't he remember? The Thirteenth Floor is a sci-fi thriller that explores the ominous possibility of computer-simulated un...

To kick off sci-fi February, we're taking a look at Alex Proyas' 1998 neo-noir/sci-fi/detective film, Dark City. Starring Rufus Sewell, Jennifer Connolly, William Hurt, Kiefer Sutherland and Richard O'Brien, the movie follows John Murdoch as he awakens to find he is wanted for a series of brutal murders. The only problem is that he can't remember anything and as he tries to unravel the mystery of...

The year is 2024... That opening statement is pretty much the only thing that the film, Highland 2 got right. For, what happens when a sequel totally ignores the rules the first film established? What happens when the film's backers get rid of the director and edit the film without his input? What happens when pretty much everyone involved, including the film's lead actors want out but can't escap...

This week, we're taking on the new Disney+ series, ECHO. The first of the new Marvel Spotlight shows to air on the streaming service, Echo continues the story of Maya Lopez, that began in 2022's Hawkeye series, as she reconnects with her Native American roots while making tough choices about leaving her past with the Kingpin behind and moving forward with her family and community. What did we thin...

Zack Snyder is back with his latest movie made exclusively for NETFLIX. The story goes that, back in the day, ol' Zack wanted to play in Lucasfilm's sandbox but they said "No!" so, Zack picked up his action figures (characters with names like Bloodaxe and Nemesis), went home and said "I'm gonna make my own Star Wars but with hookers and blackjack!" Ok, that's only sort of true but, nonetheless, we...

What a year this week has been! We're now a full week into 2024...yes, a new year is, once again upon us and that means it's time for looking back at the year that was...the good, the bad and everything in-between! We're dedicating our first episode of the new year to talk about what we liked and what we didn't like about what 2023 gave us the form of movies, streaming TV, comics, music and more!

We have a new holiday special! It's our own version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer!

This week, as Christmas fast approaches, we bring you a new ESCAPE POD episode. Marc & Dean invite Brien to tag along as they take a look at some of their favorite Christmas horror movies!

Back in 2018 when Marc asked his friend Brien what he knew about starting a podcast, did he realize that this little "hobby" would be going strong five years later? Who can say?!? What we do know, though, is that it's been a hilarious, wild and fun ride. For, what started out as 3 guys huddled around a single mic soon evolved into 4 guys, many, MANY equipment upgrades later, hanging out each week...

Tonight friend of the show, frequent guest and all-around great guy, Josh Dahlin stops by to talk about a little movie he was lucky enough to be a part of...TROMA'S Curse Of The Weredeer!

In this episode, we take a look at the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem movie! The mutated, sewer-dwelling, pizza-munching, bad guy-punching teen heroes are voiced (for the first time) by actual teen voice actors but they are not alone for they're supported by a veritable who's who of Hollywood's hottest to save New York city from Super-fly's evil plans! And, speaking of New York, y...

Halloween and traditions go together like tricks and treats...what do we mean by that? Well, we Geeky Dads have a halloween tradition where we like to watch the movies of the Halloween franchise while commenting on them. So, join us in the screening room...listen along or, better yet, watch along with us as, this year, we take on Michael Myers again with Halloween IV: The Return Of Michael Myers!

To wrap up our month long look at Hammer films and "slashers", we thought it would be fun to look at a film that showcases what could be America's first slasher...the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow in Tim Burton's 1999 film, Sleepy Hollow, which in itself, is his love-letter to the Hammer films of old which Burton loved! Listen in and find out what we all thought!

On this week's episode we reminisce about our recent trip to New York for NYCC 23 before we get into the meat of the episode...a look at the new Amazon Original Blumhouse production, Totally Killer...about the infamous "Sweet Sixteen Killer" returning 35 years after his first murder spree to claim another victim, but 17-year-old Jamie travels back in time to 1987, determined to stop the killer bef...

This week, as we get closer to Halloween, we thought we'd take a look at slasher movies. We talk about the good, the bad and the gory things that make a slasher film a slasher film! What do we like about slashers, what don't we like about them and what we think makes slasher films so popular year after year after year. Listen in and find out what we all thought.

Our HAMMER Halloween series continues as friend of the show and frequent guest, Dean Calusdian joins us to talk about Dracula: Prince of Darkness!

Marc and Dean return for another horror double-feature! Listen in as they talk about two similarly themed horror films from the 70's, Tourist Trap and Motel Hell!

It's mid September and we Geeky Dads already have Halloween on the mind. To kick off the spooky season, we wanted to take a look at the newest Dracula movie to hit cinemas (and now VOD), The Last Voyage of the Demeter. It's a literal chapter of the Dracula story that other films usually gloss over or omit altogether...the journey Dracula took to get from Transylvania to England aboard the ill-fate...

It's Septermber and the kids are heading back to school! So tonight, we're taking a field-trip to Tromaville to take a look at the 1986 Troma Film's high school schlock-horror, The Class Of Nuke'em High!

This week, we're joined by friends of the show, Josh Hurst and Tyler Beck. Tyler wanted to come on and talk all things Spider-man...and that's just what we do!
