Does this set up 'Iron Fist: Season 3' for adapting Matt Fraction's 'Seven Capital Cities of Heaven' tournament storyline!?! It's all here in our Geekscape Special!

08 Dec 2023 | 'A Disturbance in the Force' Producer & Co-Director Jeremy Coon! | 01:16:03 | |
The 'Star Wars Holiday Special' is one of the most notoriously bad misfires in the history of television and film. Produced for live television in the wake of the first film's massive box office and cultural success, the special soon became one of the biggest cult films of all time... but maybe not for the reasons the creators intended. Now, decades after the Special has fallen into cultural obscurity, the new documentary 'A Disturbance in the Force' revisits all of the musical numbers, random TV celebrity cameos, Lumpy, and just awful decisions. Christian Bladt sits down with the documentary's producer and co-director Jeremy Coon to get all of the hilarious details!

07 Sep 2022 | Geekscape Focus: Filmmaker Petr Jákl Talks 'Medieval'! | 00:38:52 | |
Czechoslovakian Petr Jákl has lived two different lives! First he was an Olympic level Judokan. That led to being a stuntman in films like Vin Diesel's 'XXX'. That gave him the filmmaking bug, resulting in his first two Czech films. Now he's back with 'Medieval', starring Ben Foster and Michael Caine and telling the story of legendary Czech military commander Jan Žižka during the 1400s. We talk about the cultural importance of telling Žižka's story, the challenges of making it during the pandemic and how he let other historical epics like 'Braveheart' and 'The Last Samurai' guide him through the process! Enjoy!

Luckily, we have the 'Gatlopp' filmmakers rolling onto Geekscape to talk about putting the Tim Burton-esque film together during the height of the pandemic!

'Midnighters' is a Hitchcock-style, modern thriller done on an indie budget and it definitely deserves a place on your radar!

Along the way, we discuss The Oscars, the reality of indie fundraising and how awesome 'Bomb Cyclone' looks!

Carly Sullivan may not be a household name to some of you Geekscapists... but she should be! As one of the stars of SyFy's new comic book adaptation 'Happy!', based on the hilariously deranged series by Grant Morrison and Darick Robertson, Carly is making a name for herself as a comedic force... and a big nerd that you're sure to love! We talk about her origins in Florida, working through life hurdles and self-doubt and how Happy! came at just the right time! I also sit down with my good friend Tobin Addington to start the episode to plug his brand new podcast 'The Contenders', all about women in film! It's a pretty packtastic episode so enjoy!

We also sprinkled in some pro wrestling, fantasy and horror talk if you're into that (and I'm guessing if you're here then you are)!

31 Dec 2024 | The Geekscape 'What If...?' Season 3 Special! | 00:55:56 | |
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 to search through the multiverse and answer a bunch of questions! What new characters does Season 3 introduce? Do they have origins on the comic page? Will we see these characters again? Join me and Geekscape's own Watcher, Ian Kerner, as we ask... What If...?

30 May 2018 | The Geekscape 'Solo' Special With Ian Kerner! | 01:04:14 | |
There's a lot of controversy about 'Solo: A Star Wars Story', Disney's latest entry in the rapidly expanding Star Wars cinematic universe! From the box office to the story to the actors, nobody quite seems to be in agreement about film... but everyone is talking about it! And that includes Ian Kerner and I as we sit down to discuss pretty much every aspect of the film! Does it work? Was it necessary? What did we like? What worries us going forward? What was up with that surprise cameo? Where does this leave the announced James Mangold 'Boba Fett' movie? Is the Box Office indicative of the movie's quality? Was Lando given his due? Do new characters Beckett and Qira hold up alongside the classics? Really, there is a LOT to talk about... so let's get to it! Hyperspace time, Ian!

This holiday season saw the release of Marvel's "What If?" Season 2... a continuation of their critically successful animated multiverse series!

22 Mar 2023 | Geekscape 657: Filmmaking Duo The Bragg Brothers! | 00:53:23 | |
Based on an amazing true story, 'Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game' was one of my favorite films from last year's festival circuit! In 1976, GQ writer Roger Sharpe, a self professed pinball fanatic, helped lift a 35-year ban on the game of pinball in the state of New York. Did you even know that pinball had been banned in major American cities? After seeing the film at the Santa Fe International Film Festival and falling in love with it I had to have Austin and Meredith on the show to talk about making it! Join us and I think you'll love them and the film as much as I do!

02 Apr 2018 | Geekscape 476: Safe Words With 'Haunters' Director Jon Schnitzer! | 01:17:15 | |
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 was both inspired and troubled by some of the subjects in this documentary and couldn't wait to get Jon on the show to talk about fear, horror movies, the evolution of haunts and what it really means to be an artist! Enjoy!

16 Nov 2023 | The Geekscape 'The Marvels' Special! | 00:58:45 | |
Marvel's newest cosmic, cinematic outing 'The Marvels' released this weekend, combining and continuing the adventures of 3 of their most powerful female characters: Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel and Monica Rambeau! Based on box office receipts, the pundits are out in full force, claiming the MCUs most recent release is a sign of "superhero fatigue"... but is that what's really going on here? Blast off with Ian Kerner and I as we compare the film's storylines to their comic book counterparts, discuss its place in the MCU and why you shouldn't count 'The Marvels' out quite yet!

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!?! Obviously, this must all be corrected... and it is when James arrives on the show this week to talk about his newest film 'Painted Woman'. Along the way, we talk about the difficulties of making an indie Western, James' career that led to it and growing up (and making a movie) in Oklahoma and Arkansas. We also share some further thoughts about 'The Force Awakens' and the state of Star Wars in general and I profess my love for the most loyal city in the entire Geekscape!

17 Aug 2022 | Geekscape 640: The Legacy Of Aint It Cool News! | 01:23:44 | |
For early internet movie fans there was no bigger source for movie news and rumors than Aint It Cool News. Started by Austin film fanatic Harry Knowles in the late 90s and lasting for over 20 years, the heyday of the website saw them involved with and influencing everything from Peter Jackson's 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy to the launch of the Alamo Drafthouse to the downfall of Joel Schumacher's 'Batman and Robin' and the rise of the MCU and The Dark Knight. But the website and its webmaster were not without major controversy. Was Aint It Cool News and its toxic Talkback community the beginnings of today's internet hate culture? I'm joined by 'Downlow.d: The Rise and Fall of Harry Knowles' podcast host Joe Scott to discuss these questions and more!!

14 Feb 2023 | Geekscape Special: The 30th Anniversary 'Homeward Bound' Panel! | 00:41:10 | |
A few weeks ago, Disney's 'Homeward Bound' celebrated its 30th Anniversary at The El Capitan Theater in Hollywood! This is a hugely nostalgic film for so many of us and I was honored to be asked by one of the film's stars, Benj Thall, to moderate the cast and crew panel before the screening! Benj is a fantastic friend and the film is just as entertaining today as I'm sure you remember it being! Joining Benj and I onstage were his on-screen family of Robert Hays, Veronica Lauren Sawyer and Kevin Chavalier. Director Duwayne Dunham and producer Jeffrey Chernov had some amazing stories to share about putting the film together. And of course, where would this movie even be without the film's animal trainer Joe Camp, joined on the panel by Tammy Maples. Whether or not you've never seen Homeward Bound or you've seen it a million times, I think you'll really enjoy these stories from the people who helped bring it to life!

25 Aug 2023 | The Geekscape 'Blue Beetle' Special! | 00:54:11 | |
DC's latest superhero 'Blue Beetle' has hit the big screen... but does it land with a smash or splat like a bug? Lucky for you, Geekscape is here to steer you through all the questions! Was Jaime Reyes' version of the Blue Beetle comic book story the right one for a film? What about the Ted Kord and earlier versions of the character? Did the movie do justice to the comics and with the James Gunn/Peter Safran era of the DCEU on the way, was it too little too late? Or was this movie absolutely awesome and a ton of fun and everyone needs to go see it this weekend?!? We've got thoughts on that! PLUS! Ian and I discuss more of the X-Men comics seriously cooking at Marvel right now!

And now the celebration of filmmaking, Star Wars and small town dreams is finally getting released! Patrick joins us on a fantastic Geekscape to talk about finishing (and starting) the film, working with film legends like John Hughes, Stephen Spielberg and George Lucas and so much more! The Harrison Ford casting story is one of the best stories ever told on Geekscape and that may not even be my favorite from this episode! This really is an incredible episode!

Well, the team is BACK with their brand new book 'Feral' about cats during a viral outbreak! Imagine George Romero making 'Homeward Bound' as a comic and you're on the right track! We'll talk to the team about the origins of the idea, what they learned from 'Stray Dogs', their horror inspirations and so much more!

08 Oct 2018 | The Geekscape 'Venom' Special With Ian Kerner! | 00:53:31 | |
Finally! Hollywood had its way and successfully released the stand-alone 'Venom' movie that they've been trying to make for years! But... is it really a success? What can be argued against an $80 Million opening weekend? Well... a lot. This movie isn't exactly a critical darling. From the script to the fx to the acting to the entire point of making a stand-alone Venom movie in the first place, there's a lot that doesn't work. So why did we still have fun watching it? Did it have anything to do with the movie? Well, it's time to answer your questions. Does any of it work? How is there a Venom separate from the Spider-Man story? Are the action scenes exciting? Did they nail the Venom and Eddie Brock relationship? How does the villain stack up? Does anything in this movie make sense? It's all here in this episode... so better you listen to this than watch the movie.

20 Jun 2023 | The Geekscape 'The Flash' Special! | 01:00:03 | |
Finally, after years of development, production, and controversy, the DCEU's 'The Flash' film hit theaters! But was it worth all that trouble with a corporate reset on the horizon? Or was this multiverse-spanning adventure just what we fans needed? Is it possible that it could be both of those things and more? How was Michael Keaton's return as Bruce Wayne? Or the introduction of Sasha Calle's Supergirl? Does this film really set things up cleanly for James Gunn's new DCEU? And what would we love to see carried over? There is a LOT to talk about in this film as Ian Kerner and I are joined by Christian Bladt and Garrett Briones in a true Geekscape Crisis Crossover! Let's get nuts!

01 Jul 2022 | Geekscape 637: Filmmaker Brett Levner! | 01:04:17 | |
Here's a special filmmaker focused Geekscape for you! My grad school friend Brett Levner is making her next feature film: 'Riot in Bloom'! Her last feature film 'The Track' featured Missy Yager and Sam Trammell and told the story of a suburban woman developing a mother daughter relationship with a Vegas sex worker. 'Riot in Bloom' is also a story of a woman discovering the next phase in her life, but looks like it's going to be a faster, punkier, comedic spin for Brett! We'll talk to her about the challenges of putting together an indie film outside of the New York and L.A. systems, the motivation for the film (involving murder scenes, mega churches and a Baldwin brother) and how her college students are stepping in to help get it done!

17 Jan 2025 | Geekscape 716: Helping Our Geekscape Brother Dustin Rubin! | 01:25:39 | |
On January 8th, our 'Two Dollar Late Fee' podscaster Dustin Rubin and his wife Erin evacuated their house in Alta Dena to avoid high winds and rolling power outages. They thought that they’d be safely back home the next day. But in less than 24 hours, the Eaton Fire tore through their neighborhood, taking their house, car, and belongings with them. They lost everything they own.
We here at Geekscape are grateful that Dustin, Erin, and their two dogs Gus and Elliot are safe. But it’s going to take a lot for them to rebuild their lives. Join us as The Geekscape Family gathers to support Dustin, share stories, and raise awareness for the other victims of this national tragedy.

01 Dec 2022 | Geekscape 649: The Legacy of Dave Stevens and The Rocketeer! | 01:01:25 | |
Dave Stevens is a legend in the comic book world. Beyond creating 'The Rocketeer', Stevens set a high mark for creator owned properties, both in terms of ideas and execution. Stevens always demanded perfection from his work and this demand often bled into his relationships with others. Now, a documentary called 'Dave Stevens: Drawn To Perfection' is being released, documenting the ins and outs of Stevens' short but extraordinary career and its influences on the industry. I sit down with documentarians Kelvin Mao and Robert Chatlin to talk about making the film, the things they learned about Stevens' life and work and about the legacy of The Rocketeer. This is a great conversation so enjoy!

The latest Star Wars Disney+ series 'Ahsoka' has concluded and fans are divided on whether or not it's the wonderful return of the 'Rebels' characters and continuation of the story that started in 'The Mandalorian' or if it's another sign of decreasing quality in the Star Wars Disney universe.

10 Aug 2018 | Geekscape 492: Patrick Fugit and Chris Black Of 'Outcast'! | 00:45:35 | |
I may have mentioned back during Season 1 just how great Cinemax's 'Outcast' series, based on the Images Comics series by Robert Kirkman and Paul Azaceta, is! Well, I hope you listened because Season 2 is airing right now and it is just as great! To celebrate the show's return, I sat down with series star Patrick Fugit and showrunner Chris Black and talked about the uniqueness of this supernatural possession series. What went into crafting the specific tone? Did they have trouble portraying the level of darkness and violence necessary to getting the story right? And how did they pull off some of those incredible possession effects? If you're a horror or TV fan, you'll probably find something to like in our conversation!

22 Oct 2024 | Geekscape 710: 'Sallywood' Creator Xaque Gruber! | 01:03:09 | |
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? Geekscapists might not know the name Xaque Gruber but he and I have a history that goes back longer than Geekscape: almost 20 years! We first met while working as Hollywood assistants and while the work was thankless and the pay was worse, Xaque always gave me something to look forward to each day! So of course when I got the chance to have Xaque on the show to talk about his new award-winning film 'Sallywood'. I was going to jump at the chance to catch up with him! The semi-autobiographical 'Sallywood' tells the true story of 20-something "Zack", who moves to Hollywood from Maine to pursue a Hollywood career. In a chance encounter, he meets his lifelong idol Sally Kirkland, who hires him on the spot to be her assistant. Learning that her once Oscar-nominated career is now in shambles, Zack dedicates himself to finding a way to land her back on the red carpet where she belongs! So again... how much of this story is true? Listen to find out!

Kai Dodson is a man of many musical talents! I first met Kai as a member of the Ventura, California-based pop-punk group Army of Freshman and we quickly connected as big comic book fans!

06 Jul 2022 | Geekscape 638: Decoding Stranger Things Season 4 With Kaitlin Krusoe! | 01:12:59 | |
Stranger Things Season 4.5 have wrapped up and we've got a long 2 year wait until Season 5 brings us the finale to the Stranger Things saga! To help sift through the ashes left in Vecna's wake, I'm joined by our crack Geekscape correspondent (and official member of The Hellfire Club) Kaitlin Cornell Krusoe! Kaitlin's got some theories that did and didn't pan out for the past two jumbo sized episodes and we also talk about what we can expect from Season 5! On top of that, I spent the weekend watching Chris Pratt make a list and check it off one by one in the Tom Clancy-like Amazon series 'The Terminal List', we discuss how solid 'The Umbrella Academy' Season 3 was and I demand that all of you stop what you're doing and watch India's blockbuster sensational epic 'RRR' at once! Well, after Geekscape at least!

"There is a 40-year hidden family secret that only a few people knew about. Darren’s father had Asperger’s (ASD) and it led him to collect comic books in a genius yet obsessive way that overtook the home, destroyed the family, and caused everyone great mental trauma. Now, after his father’s passing, Darren is left with a holy grail collection of over 300,000 comic books - including the prized possession of his father: Superman #1 (7.0) valued at over $3.5 million - making it one of the most valuable comic books of all time. Darren is faced with this final adventure of Selling Superman, of picking up the pieces of his childhood, rewriting a family legacy, and discovering the heroic power of choosing what we give meaning to."
This is the synopsis for 'Selling Superman', a new documentary film currently in production. Join me, filmmaker Adam Schomer and family member Darren Watts as we talk about this incredible story and the making of the film 'Selling Superman'.

Let's freaking go!!! 'Deadpool & Wolverine' is here and fans are already rejoicing that the MCU is back! But is that the truth...? Or is the third Deadpool movie too little and too late when resetting the Marvel Universe for the upcoming Captain America: Brave New World, Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts, and Avengers films?
