Geekscape

Los Angeles Comic Con has gone through lots of changes since its beginning way back in the day as Stan Lee's Comikaze! And we should know! We were there! On this short episode of Geekscape, we talk to the current president of LA Comic Chris DeMoulin to talk about some of the changes and improvements in store for guests this year! I'm pretty sure I won't be doing a main stage proposal again this year (or any year) but that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of surprises in store! And you don't have to live in Los Angeles to take part! Enjoy!

Czechoslovakian Petr Jákl has lived two different lives! First he was an Olympic level Judokan. That led to being a stuntman in films like Vin Diesel's 'XXX'. That gave him the filmmaking bug, resulting in his first two Czech films. Now he's back with 'Medieval', starring Ben Foster and Michael Caine and telling the story of legendary Czech military commander Jan Žižka during the 1400s. We talk about the cultural importance of telling Žižka's story, the challenges of making it during the pandemic and how he let other historical epics like 'Braveheart' and 'The Last Samurai' guide him through the process! Enjoy!

Playwright and Filmmaker Neil LaBute loves getting into the uncomfortable workings of his subjects. Ever since his very first film 'In The Company Of Men' made audiences squirm, LaBute has made a career of putting a magnifying glass on the male id. Now he returns with his latest film, the horror story 'House of Darkness' starring Justin Long and Kate Bosworth. On this episode of Geekscape, I talk to Neil about his writing process, his love of creating challenging characters, collaborative approach and more! Enjoy!

For early internet movie fans there was no bigger source for movie news and rumors than Aint It Cool News. Started by Austin film fanatic Harry Knowles in the late 90s and lasting for over 20 years, the heyday of the website saw them involved with and influencing everything from Peter Jackson's 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy to the launch of the Alamo Drafthouse to the downfall of Joel Schumacher's 'Batman and Robin' and the rise of the MCU and The Dark Knight. But the website and its webmaster were not without major controversy. Was Aint It Cool News and its toxic Talkback community the beginnings of today's internet hate culture? I'm joined by 'Downlow.d: The Rise and Fall of Harry Knowles' podcast host Joe Scott to discuss these questions and more!!
