‘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 for some of the movie’s unique scenes. Along the way, we discuss The Oscars, the reality of indie fundraising and how awesome ‘Bomb Cyclone’ looks! This is a really big filmmaking episode so it should appeal to all of you film fans out there! Enjoy, share and all that!

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!

You know how we do these Geekscape Specials so SPOILER WARNING as Ian Kerner and I sit down to talk about Marvel’s latest. What worked (and didn’t work) in bringing these characters to the screen?

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 the podcast you now listen to so strap yourself in and get ready for almost 2 hours of truly ridiculous stories!

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. Over 2 decades later, I’m joined by my two friends and coworkers, Daryl Beard and Adnan Qureshi, as we share war stories from our time at the shop. From the dangers of Crazy Charlie to mysterious Folgers Crystals cans to hazardous spills to run ins with the cops to camping out for Episode 1 tickets to the girl at the pet store and more, this episode is packed with stories. You’ll either love them or hate them as we take you down memory lane to show you a big stop on the path that led to Geekscape.

It’s my pleasure to introduce the Geekscapists to Lauren and Katie of the K-Lo Sketch Show! I’ve been saying it for a long time Lauren and Katie are the two funniest people I know… and they’re also the most driven. Every month, they put on a brand new, 2-person improv, sketch and variety show from the ground up: the K-Lo Sketch Show! And it really is a pretty amazing show (which now regularly plays to a standing room only crowd)! On this episode, Katie, Lauren and I talk about the appeal of Macaulay Culkin, the recent eras of comedy films, Katie’s ‘Overwatch’ habits and Lauren’s past as a beauty queen and a variety of Disney princesses. We also discuss the K-Lo Sketch Show’s worst performance ever… and why they would do it all over again! It’s gonna get low, low, low, low, low on a new Geekscape so enjoy!

I can’t say enough about this episode with filmmaker Greg McClean!

It’s time to talk some real world history on Geekscape! Jay Wertz from World War II Comix is my guest this week to talk about his new World War II real history comic books and why it’s important to tell these stories in a comic book format.

Now Matt and I share the studio at the SAME TIME as we talk rock history, rock’s influence on comic books (and vice versa), Matt’s amazing career in music and the music you should be listening to right now.
