Geekscape

Ultimate Fakebook's Bill McShane has been a friend for a long time... so why hasn't he been on Geekscape already to talk about his awesome band? Well, maybe because that band hasn't put out a new album in 16 years! But that all changed last month with the release of Ultimate Fakebook's 'The Preserving Machine'! Bill arrives on the show to talk about the influences that went into the album, how it's the closing of a chapter in the Ultimate Fakebook story and why they would never have turned down shows with The Descendents! Along the way we talk a little emo history, I put my next haircut in the hands of the viewers and discuss how destructive we were as kids! Enjoy!

We don't talk much sports on Geekscape, but ESPN's multipart Michael Jordan documentary 'The Last Dance' is a major event. And with the Coronavirus Pandemic shutting down sports, who knows when I'll get a chance to geek out on the NBA again. Luckily, Zach Harper is a basketball writer for The Athletic and a personality on SiriusXM's NBA channel and is here on Geekscape to talk about the NBA shutdown, how esports is continuing to take over in the wake of the pandemic and when we might see basketball again! Along the way, we discuss the best basketball documentaries, the best basketball videogames (is it NBA Jam?) and what NBA players are total geeks themselves! Former Geekscape guest Erin Darling Torralva also drops in to talk about her new online comedy course and how she and Zach are navigating the quarantine together! Enjoy!

With the Corona Virus keeping us quarantined in our homes and Summer just around the corner, there's no doubt that major geek events like the San Diego Comic Con are going to cancel or postpone until later in the year! That leaves the door open for 2020 becoming the year of the Virtual Comic Convention! Already, several virtual online comic book conventions have started to spring up to give fans their fix... but how do they hope to compare to the real thing? What do they mean to celebrities, exhibitors, fans and indie creators? Luckily, FilmThreat's Chris Gore guests on a new Geekscape to share his insight on the future of virtual cons! How did last weekend's virtual WonderCon go? Can SDCC move to later in the year? Can comic book shops, indie exhibitors and publishers survive until then? And how does this change the landscape for film, TV, comics and videogames going forward? It's all in this episode so enjoy!

Quarantine continues in the face of the Corona Virus Pandemic... but that's not enough to stop Ian Kerner! In this episode, Ian checks in to talk about the state of the comics industry, if COVID 19 will be the end of local comic book shops as we know them and if Marvel and DC Comics can weather the storm. We also discuss the sliding Marvel slate and what this means for blockbuster films getting greenlit in the future! When will Hollywood get back to normal... if ever? Along the way, we espouse the wonders of 'Onward', let you know if 'Bloodshot' is worth a shot and I go to bat for Ben Affleck in 'The Way Back'! And the question is raised after Ian gives us some concerning information... was Ian infected with the Corona Virus?

Welcome to the apocalypse! How are you holding up? Doing okay? We're still alive at least! So why not try and make things a little more normal by listening to a brand new Geekscape episode? My guest this week is Ralph D'Amato, the producer of 'Pretending I'm A Superman'... the upcoming documentary about the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series! Ralph was also a producer on the games as well so we talk about his work in video games, how he got involved in the film and the specific challenges of each. Along the way, we discuss the cultural (and musical) changes over the past two decades, what it took to make a AAA title back in the day and the ins and outs of building a classic game soundtrack! I also take a moment to talk about my recent experiences in the CoronaVirus world and more! Enjoy and take care of each other! Please!

'The VelociPastor filmmaker Brendan Steere returns to Geekscape for a full episode of filmmaking talk! We talk about making the film on such a tiny budget, the challenges of hiring the right people and how making The VelociPastor compares to making Predator (which you should never see for the first time on a plane)! Along the way we talk about Brendan's film school thesis, getting away with making a feature film for almost nothing and whether or not he'd like to make more VelociPastor films! I take the opportunity to pitch Brendan on a VelopiPastor spin off film and we start plotting the insane idea together! Plus! I tell you guys about a time I got bullied in middle school for being a geek! Enjoy!

Paula Rhodes might not be a household name to some Geekscapists but you've probably heard her voice in games like GTA V, Red Dead Redemption 2 and the Resident Evil series! Beyond that she's been in fan favorite projects like 'The New Adventures of Pete and Wendy' and 'Elf Quest: A Fan Imagining'! Well now she's on Geekscape talking about her new project 'Delicate State', a modern day civil war thriller that she made while she was pregnant! Paula talks about the difficulties of writing an improv heavy production, shooting on a shoe string budget around real world events, possibly stealing locations while pregnant and tons more! Along the way, I rave about the 'Sonic The Hedgehog' movie and talk about why comparing it to 'Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey' is dumb, dumb, dumb. Enjoy!
