Geekscape 320: Breaking Down The Oscar Race With Witney Siebold!

by Jonathan

Last week the Oscar nominations were announced! There were surprises, snubs and favorites but what’s what? Luckily, I have friends who are smarter than me and have better taste! One such friend is Witney Siebold, former Geekscape writer and current movie critic for Crave Online… as well as co-host with William Bibbiani of the B-Movies Podcast! So after recording a sister episode of the B-Movies Podcast, we sat down to talk Oscars as well as Michael Douglas being cast as Hank Pym in ‘Ant-Man’, more Star Wars talk (as if there’s ever enough) and Geekscape’s very own ‘Doc of the Dead’ premiering at SXSW 2014!

Sacha Baron Cohen Addresses The Oscars in Character

by Saintmort

This week the big news was that the Oscars have taken away Sacha Baron Cohen’s tickets out of fear he’d pull a major stunt to promote his new film The Dictator. In an act of proving them right and also not making the film he’s promoting look nearly as funny as it probably is. Sacha Baron Cohen has posted this video on his youtube in character of The Dictator’s Admiral General Aladeen.
