Video Available on Our Site - ⁠GeekCypha.com

Description: This week on GeekCypha, we tackle a heavy hit to the voice acting world alongside major moves across film and television. We start by honoring the legacy of Scarborough’s own Eric Bauza, the modern voice behind icons like Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, following his passing at age 46. From there, we pivot to big streaming victories and box office numbers: Amazon officially greenlighting Carrie for Season 2, Peacock’s Friday the 13th prequel series Crystal Lake pulling in a massive 1.3 billion minutes watched in its first 11 days, and DC's Clayface snatching the top spot at the North American box office with a $24 million opening weekend. Finally, in our View The Right Thing segment, Brian and Tetteh drop their spoiler-free thoughts on Clayface, Janessa gives a full spoiler-filled breakdown of You Can See Everything, and Jawz and Skinny link up to deliver a definitive review of Street Fighter.

GeekCypha 478 Can SNL be Saved? | Nicolas Cage Amazon Exit + VisionQuest & Carrie Review

Video Available on Our Site - ⁠GeekCypha.com

Description: This week on GeekCypha, the crew gathers to talk entertainment news and pop culture announcements. We start off holding zero back on why Saturday Night Live's host-booking department desperately needs fresh perspectives. Druski is coming, but one host does not save a season. The conversation shifts straight to Hollywood studio ethics after Nicolas Cage makes headlines for refusing an AI likeness waiver on Spider-Noir, putting his future with Amazon on ice while teasing a potential jump to True Detective. Over on the fantasy and horror side, Paramount+ gives Avatar Kuruk: Wave of Chaos a green light, Curry Barker unveils the spooky title treatment for his upcoming movie Anything But Ghosts, and NYCC 2026 brings huge reveals with Marvel Television announcing a spy thriller series titled Zodiac. To wrap things up, Brian gives his thoughts on Marvel's brand-new VisionQuest series, links up with Tetteh for a full review of the Carrie remake, and Mike steps to the mic to figure out if Marvel's Midnight line is just a copycat response to DC's Absolute imprint.

GeekCypha 473 Gawd Forbid a Ninja Learn Words, RIP Dolly & Tim, AnimeNYC, Tekken and Geek News

Video Available on Our Site - ⁠GeekCypha.com

Description: This week, GeekCypha opens on a heavy note as we pay respects to the heartbreaking loss of Hayden Panettiere, cinema icon Michael Wright, legendary performer Tim Curry, and pop culture titan Dolly Parton, looking back at the indelible marks they left on film, television, and music. Turning to superhero cinema, we sort through the chaos surrounding the DCU’s rumored Batman movie pause and lay out James Gunn’s official response to set the record straight on where the Dark Knight stands in the new slate. Over in convention news, Brian recaps his weekend at Anime NYC, including the full story behind his unexpected run-in with internet favorite Goth Egg. The television space gets chaotic as news hits that Kit Harington is stepping in to replace Nicholas Hoult in HBO’s Harry Potter series, sparking an immediate debate over whether longtime fans will actually show up for the reboot. To cap things off, a potential Bel-Air spinoff Hilary is in the works at Peacock—starring Coco Jones and backed by Tracy Oliver and Westbrook—ignites a hilarious argument over Coco Jones' official standing as an undeniable top-tier baddie.

GeekCypha 472 No More Charles Xavier? MCU X-Men Cast Unveiled & HBO’s Lanterns Breakdown

Video Available on Our Site - ⁠GeekCypha.com

Description: This week, GeekCypha opens with Tetteh putting the crew on the spot with a question every comic fan has wrestled with: Which comic book character did you despise at first, only to turn into a fan later on? The conversation moves quickly into the week's heaviest geek news, starting with Murderbot Season 2 officially rolling into production alongside new cast additions. Things get chaotic during the D23 2026 recap when Marvel Studios unveils its official X-Men ensemble—and Brian immediately sets the room off by declaring he has zero desire to see another Charles Xavier on the big screen. That hot take leads straight into a debate over Inde Navarrette landing Rogue, as the squad argues whether turning down Heat 2 and a cool $2.5 million check for a horror film was a brilliant sacrifice or a missed bag. Over in the DC universe, HBO's Lanterns officially claims the crown as the highest-rated DCU project on Rotten Tomatoes, setting up the main event of the show: an honest, no-filters breakdown and premiere reaction to the Lanterns debut to see if the new Green Lantern series actually lives up to all the high-flying hype.
