'X-Men: Dark Phoenix' is the final chapter in the Fox X-Men story that began way back in 2000 with the first 'X-Men' film. But after so many ups and downs over the last two decades, is it the send off that the merry band of mutants deserve? Or are things truly darkest before the dawn? Luckily, Ian and I are here to navigate you through the questions. What were the high points in this final chapter? What were the lows? And what parts felt like reshoots and course corrections? We look back over the history of the Fox X-Men movies and look ahead to their inclusion in the Disney MCU. Also, what about the Fantastic Four? When can we expect to see the X-Men return to the big screen? And how? It's all here in the Geekscape Dark Phoenix Special! Enjoy!

Writer Diallo Jackson finally guests on the show and we talk his new comic book 'Angela and the Dark'! We also talk through classic story hang ups like Raiders of the Lost Ark, Star Wars: Return of the Jedi and Avengers: Endgame! How do you tell a story that convinces the audience to just "go along for the ride" instead of picking it apart? And does this past weekend's 'Godzilla: King of Monsters' do the job? There's a lot of writing and comic book talk in this episode so strap yourselves in, Geekscapists!

Pick up Angela and the Dark!

Aww... they grow up so fast! Former Geekscape writer and current big boy over at Inverse Eric Fancisco returns to the podcast for a good old fashioned pop culture conversation! We disagree on what we loved and hated about the new 'Hellboy' film! Where does the John Wick franchise go after 'John Wick 3's hyper violence? And did 'Detective Pikachu' solve the mystery of the missing quality videogame movies? Along the way we play serious catch up, talk about the dark side of geek media and Eric walks us through some of the highlights of this past weekend's DnD Live from Wizards of the Coast! Enjoy!

In a flash of lightning, Shazam has arrived! Starring Zachary Levi, Shazam is DC's latest entry in their big screen universe... and arguably it's least well known character so far! Luckily, Ian Kerner joins me on a special Geekscape episode to discuss the film, the character's backstory, how the film deviates from the comic (or improves on it) and what we might see in a sequel! Who is Mr. Mind? Will The Rock ever show up as Black Adam? Does this help fix the rough start to DC's big screen universe? There's a lot here so just say the word and enjoy!

Douglas Tait has been acting professionally for over 15 years in some of your biggest films, from Star Trek to Thor to Freddy vs Jason! So why are you just now discovering him? Well, besides Geekscape being awesome and Neil Marshall's new cinematic take on the beloved 'Hellboy' character hitting the screens this weekend, it's because he does such an awesome part in becoming the characters he portrays. We pick through it in this episode, from starting out as a park performer at Universal to acting for J.J. Abrams and John Favreau. And why does Hellboy creator Mike Mignola think this new Hellboy film is the most faithful? You'll just have to listen to find out! Enjoy!

Filmmaker Marie Jamora isn't just one of my best friends and favorite filmmakers... We reconnected because she listened to my podcast! After going to film school together, Marie returned to her home town of Manila and directed music videos for a lot of the indie rock bands she called friends. This led to her first feature film 'What Isn't There' and once moving to the States, Marie started picking up various gigs like editing Jon Schnepp's documentary 'Superman Lives: What Happened?' Marie and I remember Jon, talk about her indie work and her upcoming short 'A Song For Myself'... that you can help make happen! Along the way, we discuss Filipino indie music and DJing, smuggling Hollywood films into the Phillipines and Idris Elba's DJ comedy series 'Turn Up Charlie' on Netflix... plus a lot more!
