Miranda and Clayton scramble their brains listening to audiobook of There is no Antimemetics Division by QNTM, none the less they coble together enough memory to review this interesting piece of Sci Fi/Horror from the SCP Foundation Universe.

An antimemetic entity is something that stops the formation of memories and records around it, making it impossible to retain information without high levels of training and a cocktail of drugs. If in the same universe, The Silence from Doctor Who would be an antimemetic entity.

Tamzyn, Miranda and Clayton have a chat about the novels of The Martian and Project Hail Mary author Andy Weir. His novels are so grounded in real science that is hard to give them the title science fiction.

Miranda, Tamzyn and Clayton set their geek film to maximum as they talk about the adaptation of Andy Weir’s novel Project Hail Mary. Without a doubt at the top of the team’s list of most anticipated films and, spoilers, they were not disappointed.

The film is in cinemas now.

In this episode of Geeks Out, Tamzyn and Clayton take a look at the new 2026 film Killer Whale and ask the question: why are we still fascinated by movies where nature fights back?

From Jaws to Orca to modern eco-thrillers, animal-revenge films have always tapped into our fear of the natural world — and our guilt about how we treat it.

Killer Whale updates the idea for a modern audience, bringing bigger visuals, modern ocean cinematography, and a more contemporary take on the relationship between humans and marine life.

But does the film deliver the tension and storytelling these movies need? And how does it compare to the strange emotional power of the 1977 cult classic Orca?

We talk about:
• The modern trend of eco-horror and nature-revenge stories
• How whales have shifted from “monsters” to misunderstood intelligence
• The science vs spectacle of killer whale behaviour
• Whether modern creature films still capture the magic of classics

Plus we ask the big question: are these films about fear… or about guilt?

In this episode of Geeks Out, Clayton and Tamzyn dive into the cult classic Orca (1977) — the film that tried to ride the wave of the shark-movie boom after Jaws but ended up becoming something stranger and darker.

Starring Richard Harris and Charlotte Rampling, the film flips the usual monster-movie script. After a fisherman kills a pregnant orca, the surviving whale begins a calculated campaign of revenge against the humans responsible.

Is Orca really a creature feature… or is it actually a tragedy about human arrogance and the intelligence of one of the ocean’s most complex animals?

We unpack the film’s bizarre science, emotional whale drama, and surprisingly moral storyline — including the infamous baby-whale scene that shocked audiences in the 1970s.

It’s part monster movie, part ecological warning, and part “how did this get made?” cinema history.

Expect discussion on:
• Why Orca was marketed as the next Jaws
• The surprisingly sympathetic killer whale
• 1970s filmmaking choices and tone
• Why the film has become a cult favourite

A weird, emotional, and unexpectedly thoughtful entry in the “animals take revenge on humans” genre.

Leather, longing and love that doesn’t fit the mould.

This week on Geeks Out, Tamzyn goes solo (with a little buzz by the fabulous ADZ) to review Pillion, the new romantic drama starring Alexander Skarsgård and Harry Melling, directed by Harry Lighton and adapted from the novel Box Hill.

Premiering at Cannes to strong critical response, Pillion explores vulnerability, power and identity within a queer biker subculture — not as spectacle, but as deeply human connection.

Is it slow? Yes.
Is it intimate? Absolutely.
Is it for everyone? Probably not.

But if you’re open to expanding your mind and heart, this is a film worth sitting with.

In her Barbie heart song, Billie Eilish asks ‘What was I made for?’, and in this ep Clayton and Miranda talk about who queer media is made for?

With the popularity of Heated Rivalry, a public debate has opened up about who the intended audience of the show is, going as far as to exclude gay men and other queer people from the conversation because they are not the intended audience.

Cishet straight women have found male and male love and sex appealing in literature and even have become the authors of its existence.

While it is great that some positive queer media has made headlines, there is still a conversation to be had.
