Zombies! It seems like just yesterday they were at the top of the roost as pop culture's favorite horror monster! Now, the popularity of zombies seems in decline! And that's just what we were thinking as Geekscape gathers a panel of experts at Los Angeles Comic Con to talk about our favorite decaying pursuers! Is there anything new you can do with the monster? What are some of the significant moments in zombie history? What does the next phase in the zombie's evolution look like? And lots, lots more! We really get into it so I hope you enjoy and shamble along for the ride!

'The Monster Squad' is a definitive 80s Cult Movie. It went almost completely ignored upon its release and only decades later has it amassed the audience it always deserved. And what took so long? With a plot that is basically The Little Rascals versus the classic Universal Monsters, everyone who sees the movie falls in love with it! Well, on this LA Comic Con panel, we've got two of the original Squad members, Andre Gower and Ryan Lambert, talking about their experiences making the original film. In addition, filmmaker Henry McComas joins us to talk about 'Wolfman's Got Nards', the Monster Squad retrospective culture documentary that he and Andre are ready to unleash upon the world!

Or the upcoming Disney streaming app? And as we get into this SPOILER FILLED episode, what were the highlights of the season? What do we still have questions about? Where do we go moving forward? Really, we just want to keep talking about how awesome Bullseye's origin was and can't wait to see more of him! But obviously, we do that in a ton of detail! It's all here so enjoy!

Longtime Geekscape friend Yuri Lowenthal has been keeping a secret... that he's Spider-Man! But now, the entire world knows because Spider-Man on PS4, in which Yuri plays Peter Parker and Spider-Man, is one of the hottest, system selling games of the year! In this episode, Yuri talks about the long process of auditioning for the roll, having to keep such a giant secret and performing as one of the most iconic characters of all time! What was the process of performing some of the action packed mocap sequences? Did he get to adlib any of the lines? What were some of his favorite parts of the whole experience and would he be up for a sequel? Also, we talk about Yuri's live, user interactive sci-fi series for Project Alpha, 'Orbital Redux', and what an insane and brilliant idea it is for a web series!

Mega Ran and MC Lars are Nerdcore rappers at the top of their game. And they took some time off from their Rushmore of Nerdcore tour to sit with me and talk about some history. It's like 3 old friends catching up as we talk about their separate histories and what got them into music and about the beginnings of the Nerdcore scene in general. Their most recent collaboration 'The Dewey Decibal System' is discussed as well as a bit of religion and politics... the things we're supposed to not talk about on the internet. But we don't care and we get real personal as we catch up on this special Nerdcore edition of Geekscape! Also, checkout Mega Ran's podcast 'Mat Mania'... brand new to the Geekscape Network!

Finally! Hollywood had its way and successfully released the stand-alone 'Venom' movie that they've been trying to make for years! But... is it really a success? What can be argued against an $80 Million opening weekend? Well... a lot. This movie isn't exactly a critical darling. From the script to the fx to the acting to the entire point of making a stand-alone Venom movie in the first place, there's a lot that doesn't work. So why did we still have fun watching it? Did it have anything to do with the movie? Well, it's time to answer your questions. Does any of it work? How is there a Venom separate from the Spider-Man story? Are the action scenes exciting? Did they nail the Venom and Eddie Brock relationship? How does the villain stack up? Does anything in this movie make sense? It's all here in this episode... so better you listen to this than watch the movie.

Here's a special mini episode of Geekscape focusing on the idea of strategic quitting! And I wouldn't have brought it to you if I didn't think it wasn't important to hear. We've all found ourselves bogged down in life, especially if we're geek collectors of things like DVDs, comic books, videogames, etc. Maybe we find ourselves in an unfulfilling job or relationship? But what are these things actually adding to our lives? More importantly, what are they taking away? I sit down with Dr. Lynn Marie Morski at an outdoor San Diego restaurant and talk to about the idea of 'Quitting By Design', a concept that is now also a book written by Dr. Morski. Spend too much on the Steam Summer Sale on games you'll never play? Yeah. This episode is for you!
