I've gotta admit that I was pretty nervous sitting down withs Dean Devlin, writer and producer of tentpole films like 'Independence Day', 'Stargate' and 'Godzilla' and producer of TNT hits like 'Leverage' and 'The Librarians'. But I think things smoothed out pretty quickly as we started talking about Dean's new directorial effort 'Bad Samaritan', starring Robert Sheehan and David Tennant. The film...

You know an episode is going to be great when we bring up 'Beastmaster' in the first 5 minutes! And multi-hyphenate Dan Fogler, who you may know from the 'Fantastic Beasts' Harry Potter films, definitely doesn't disappoint. We talk about his new graphic novel 'Brooklyn Gladiator' and the long writing and creative process that started in theater, wound through filmmaking and ended up as a beautiful...

James Lafferty and Stephen Colletti are probably best know as actors from the hit WB/CW show 'One Tree Hill'... but that was years ago. Does that mean that James and Stephen are taking post TV stardom sitting down? No! They've taken their careers into their own hands and are back with 'Everyone Is Doing Great', a self-produced independent pilot that can stand toe to toe with TV's funniest. We talk...

Fritz Böhm's film 'Wildling' is a supernatual fairy tale coming of age story that I was immediately hooked on from the opening moments. Starring Liv Tyler, Brad Dourif and Bel Powley, the film isn't necessarily a horror movie or a werewolf movie as much as it's something new entirely (with some very cool familiar elements). In this episode, Fritz and I talk about playing between the familiar and t...

Jack Kenny's TV writing and showrunning career goes back over 30 years and includes geek favorite shows like 'Warehouse 13' and 'Marvel's Jessica Jones'!

From modern day politics to Jack's recent short filmmaking to his thoughts on the future of television, this episode covers a lot of base...

Rocker and famous partier Andrew W.K. is back with "You're Not Alone", his first studio album in 12 years.

Over the course of our conversation, we talk motivation, depression, partying (of course), what it means to be successf...

Before watching Jon Schnitzer's documentary 'Haunters' I thought that haunted houses, haunted hayrids and local horror nights were just a Halloween time event! Boy was I wrong! It turns out that "haunts" not only happen year round but sometimes spring up right in our back yard! And some of them push not only the willing visitors but the haunt creators themselves to the edges of their own sanity! I...

Based on the popular Man of Action comic, the film follows a young girl's quest to kill giant behemoths that threaten her hometown. Not an easy project to take on as an indi...

Marvel and Netflix's 'Jessica Jones' Season 2 is here and that means it's time to sit down with Ian Kerner and break it all down!

'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!?!

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...

Carly Sullivan may not be a household name to some of you Geekscapists... but she should be!

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.
