Longtime Geekscape friend Chris Mancini of the Comedy Film Nerds returns to Geekscape to talk about his new graphic novel project 'Rise of the Kung Fu Dragon Master' and how you can be involved! Along the way, we espouse our love for artist Fernando Pinto, break down Disney+, The Mandalorian and all of its offerings and talk about writing! Chris is actively navigating the shifting landscape of creator owned, original content and it's always interesting to talk to him about the best ways to write a book proposal, approaches on outlining your scripts and distribution methods. He's so busy, in fact, that the weekly Comedy Film Nerds podcast and Comedy Film Nerds as you know it is coming to a close with a big live event on December 12th that we'll be a part of! The world is changing, Geekscapists, but we can always rely on friends like Chris for an insightful and entertaining episode! Enjoy!

Former NFL player Chris Kluwe claims to be as much a geek as he is a jock... and he for sure proves it on this episode! I visited Chris to talk about his upcoming book dystopian future set sci-fi book 'Otaku' and on the way we got carried away by talking politics, futurism, evolving culture and tech shifts, cyclical history and a lot more! I tell you that 'Terminator: Dark Fate' is worth watching in theaters and Chris hilariously explains to me how 4Chan evolved (or devolved) into 8Chan! We also talk 'Otaku', writing sci-fi, some of Chris' biggest influences and wrapping your head around getting things done.

It's Halloween time, folks! And that means even scaredy cats like me need to get in on the fun! I do just that in big fashion with filmmakers Jason and Heather DeVan, creators of 'Along Came The Devil', last year's surprise indie horror hit! The duo return with 'Along Came The Devil 2' and we talk about turning a sequel around in less than a year, designing effective horror sequences, making effects and action heavy films on a budget and a tight schedule and their married couple working dynamic! On top of that, we talk a lot about the filmmaking process, shaping your own career and pivoting when you've got a huge hit! And of course there's a lot of horror talk! I loved meeting Jason and Heather and talking shop with them so I'm pretty sure you'll get a lot out of this episode (including a few laughs)! Enjoy!
