Geeks OUT

Tamzyn, Clayton and Miranda dive into Dust Bunny, a visually stunning and quietly unsettling film starring Mads Mikkelsen.

It’s poetic. It’s eerie. It’s unexpectedly tender.
And yes — we talk about the chicken with the lightbulb.

• That breathtaking cinematography
• Mads Mikkelsen doing what he does best — intensity with restraint
• The child performance that anchors the film
• First-time director nerves or confident vision?
• The symbolism layered through seemingly simple moments
• Why it feels like a modern fairy tale for adults
• Audience reactions — divided but intrigued
• That ending and what it really means

A slow burn that rewards patience… if you’re willing to lean in.

🎧 Is this arthouse brilliance or beautifully shot ambiguity?

This week Tamzyn, Miranda and Clayton dive into Wonder Man, the latest entry into the ever-expanding Marvel TV universe.

Tamzyn wasn’t sold after the first two episodes. It felt slow. A little directionless. Not quite sure what it wanted to be. But then… it found its footing.

• The surprisingly endearing lead and co-lead dynamic
• Why the early episodes feel unfocused
• The origin story payoff — was it worth the wait?
• The Doorman episode — fun detour or flow killer?
• Marvel fatigue vs Marvel reinvention
• Bingeing it in two blocks vs watching week to week
• That ending — satisfying or just setting up Season 2?
• And of course… what superpower would Tamzyn actually want?

It’s not top-tier Marvel. It’s not a disaster either. It’s somewhere in that interesting middle ground — and maybe that’s okay.

🎧 Is Wonder Man quietly building something… or just another “meh” in the MCU machine?

This week on Geeks Out, Tamzyn and Clayton unpack Send Help — the horror film critics seemed to love… but did it actually land?

Tamzyn really wanted to love this one. Instead, she left feeling conflicted, uncomfortable, and not entirely sure who she was supposed to be rooting for.

Is that clever storytelling… or a tonal misfire?

• Why critics praised its boldness and tension
• The power dynamics between boss and employee
• When feminist horror feels… murky
• That uneasy “who do I like?” problem
• The tonal tightrope between satire and psychological thriller
• Did it subvert expectations — or just confuse them?
• Why it left Tamzyn cold while others raved

Sometimes a film works on paper but not in your gut. This one sparked debate.

🎧 Listen now and tell us — did you love it, or are we missing something?

Back in December, we sat down with the cast and director of Bev & Myrt to unpack what this gloriously queer stage show was all about. (click here after for that)

Then we went to see it live as part of the Midsumma Festival season.

There’s something powerful about hearing artists speak about their intentions — the comedy, the vulnerability, the chaos — and then watching it unfold on stage in front of a real audience.

Did it land the way they described?
Did knowing the backstory change the experience?
And how does queer theatre hit differently when it’s live, intimate, and very Melbourne?

• Revisiting our December interview with the creatives behind Bev & Myrt
• The live theatre energy — unpredictable, electric, communal
• Performances that feel bigger (and braver) on stage
• Queer storytelling at Midsumma and why it matters
• What surprised us most once we saw it for ourselves
• Did it live up to the promise?

It’s funny. It’s heartfelt. It’s a little chaotic in the best possible way.

And it’s exactly why we love covering local queer theatre on Geeks Out.

🎭 From studio mic to stage lights — this one’s a full-circle moment.

Tamzyn and Clayton talk about the Australian Film Imagine, which made it’s debut at the Melbourne International Film Festival. The film is having a limited screening on Monday, the 26th of January. You can check the website later for future screenings.

About the Film

Australian writers, directors and systems change-makers Jack Manning Bancroft and Tyson Yunkaporta’s pioneering new animated feature film Imagine heads into cinemas nationwide for very special event screenings on January 26, to get Australia to imagine a different reality to start the year with. Instead of ‘Australia / Survival Day’ being a day of division, can we imagine a way to bring folks together and meet in the middle?

A film like no other, Imagine is a ground-breaking, co-created animated film blending Indigenous knowledge with innovative storytelling and technology. Following 15-year-old Kim and their alien canine companion Jeff, the story explores identity, freedom and a world on the brink of collapse.

Created during the pandemic through a live Google Doc, Imagine began in a true sense of collaboration on IMAGI-NATION {TV}, with over 150 young people, 18 partner schools and more than 200 guests from across 17 countries contributing to the script via the live audience.
