'The Concessionaires Must Die!' is an independent film years in the making! Just how many? Well, you'll have to listen to the podcast for answers like that! Directed by longtime Geekscape friend America Young and starring previous Geekscape guests David Blue and Stan Lee, the film is best described as "Empire Records in a movie theater"! But it's not as simple as that. A lot of love, sweat and tears went into putting this film together. To get the full story, I sat down with America, David, actress producer Zakareth Ruben and actor Cosby Siringi to talk about putting the film together, the highlights of shooting for two weeks in exotic Fresno, some of the hurdles in finishing the film and much, much more! Enjoy!

I've gotta admit that I was pretty nervous sitting down withs Dean Devlin, writer and producer of tentpole films like 'Independence Day', 'Stargate' and 'Godzilla' and producer of TNT hits like 'Leverage' and 'The Librarians'. But I think things smoothed out pretty quickly as we started talking about Dean's new directorial effort 'Bad Samaritan', starring Robert Sheehan and David Tennant. The film is out this week and Dean is quick to talk about the film being a completely independent production and about his long history with (and without) the Hollywood studios. Among some of the highlights are his opinion of modern film criticism, whether or not last year's 'Geostorm' was a mistake and his relationship with filmmaker Roland Emmerich. Also, what are the things that attracted him most to putting 'Bad Samaritan' together the way he wanted! There's a lot to digest here, Geekscapists, so enjoy!

You know an episode is going to be great when we bring up 'Beastmaster' in the first 5 minutes! And multi-hyphenate Dan Fogler, who you may know from the 'Fantastic Beasts' Harry Potter films, definitely doesn't disappoint. We talk about his new graphic novel 'Brooklyn Gladiator' and the long writing and creative process that started in theater, wound through filmmaking and ended up as a beautiful 100 page book! And how does this book tie into Dan's earlier graphic novel anthology 'Moon Lake' and the ideas he's got spinning in his head for more stories? Dan discusses his fascination with conspiracy stories and then takes the time to answer your fan submitted questions! And obviously, we geek out and talk about a lot, lot more! Enjoy!

James Lafferty and Stephen Colletti are probably best know as actors from the hit WB/CW show 'One Tree Hill'... but that was years ago. Does that mean that James and Stephen are taking post TV stardom sitting down? No! They've taken their careers into their own hands and are back with 'Everyone Is Doing Great', a self-produced independent pilot that can stand toe to toe with TV's funniest. We talk about indie filmmaking, the origins of the idea, the reality of being working actors, their most painful auditions and much, much more! I had a blast having the boys on the show and hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did!

Fritz Böhm's film 'Wildling' is a supernatual fairy tale coming of age story that I was immediately hooked on from the opening moments. Starring Liv Tyler, Brad Dourif and Bel Powley, the film isn't necessarily a horror movie or a werewolf movie as much as it's something new entirely (with some very cool familiar elements). In this episode, Fritz and I talk about playing between the familiar and the fresh and the origins of the film's story. We also talk about the challenges of bringing the film to life over several years and filming the rural story in one of the most populated places on the planet! As much as I enjoyed the film, I enjoyed Fritz and I's conversation even more and hope you do as well! Support indie film!

Jack Kenny's TV writing and showrunning career goes back over 30 years and includes geek favorite shows like 'Warehouse 13' and 'Marvel's Jessica Jones'! I recently visited Jack's home office to wind back the clock and talk to him about his career in television. From modern day politics to Jack's recent short filmmaking to his thoughts on the future of television, this episode covers a lot of bases, both professional and personal. Jack's been a good friend and mentor for a few years now and I definitely want to give him a big thanks for being so candid with me! I think it's a great, candid view into TV writing and more!

Before watching Jon Schnitzer's documentary 'Haunters' I thought that haunted houses, haunted hayrids and local horror nights were just a Halloween time event! Boy was I wrong! It turns out that "haunts" not only happen year round but sometimes spring up right in our back yard! And some of them push not only the willing visitors but the haunt creators themselves to the edges of their own sanity! I was both inspired and troubled by some of the subjects in this documentary and couldn't wait to get Jon on the show to talk about fear, horror movies, the evolution of haunts and what it really means to be an artist! Enjoy!
