A fan of his Rock and Roll meets Filmmaking style, I've been wanting to have Joe Lynch on the show for a long time! Now he finally arrives with his new film 'Mayhem' starring Steven Yeun of The Walking Dead. We talk a lot of filmmaking in this episode, from the controversial history of Joe's LARPing love letter 'Knights of Badassdom' to how 'Mayhem' is the perfect film for Joe. How did the script come to him? What did he discover in the process of making the film? And what very recent Geekscape guest's film is 'Mayhem' often compared to? If you're a film fan you're going to love this episode. If you're not... you're still going to love this episode so listen up!

I can't say enough about this episode with filmmaker Greg McClean! Known traditionally as the horror director behind the 'Wolf Creek' films and last year's 'The Belko Experiment', Greg arrives on the show to talk about his new film 'Jungle' starring Daniel Radcliffe. The movie is a pretty harrowing action survival drama based on real life events and we talk about how his background in horror lent itself to telling such a visceral story. We also lay praise on his giant crocodile masterpiece 'Rogue' and it's predecessor 'Alligator' and discuss what the most necessary elements are for a Rogue sequel! Along the way we answer some of your questions, talk about directing James Gunn's script for The Belko Experiment and much, much more! Enjoy!

It's time to talk some real world history on Geekscape! Jay Wertz from World War II Comix is my guest this week to talk about his new World War II real history comic books and why it's important to tell these stories in a comic book format. Along the way, we talk about the status of the comic book industry, a ton of history in regards to Japan and the Pacific Theater of World War 2 and why the U.S. is less of a comics friendly society than others. This really was a great episode and I easily could have talked to Jay for another few hours! Enjoy your history class, Geekscapists!

I'm just going to say it off the top: Jake Busey is really, really awesome. We welcome Jake onto Geekscape to talk about his new action comedy horror rock film 'Dead Ant' and talk a lot about classics like 'The Frighteners' and 'Starship Troopers' along the way. We also discuss growing up in a music family with his father Gary and his friends and Jake's only early career as a musician and how growing up changed all that. Jake gives us some hints about his role in the new Predator film and gives a touching remembrance to both Bill Paxton and Tom Petty. Really, I found Jake to be a very smart, kinda and well spoken guy and loved having him on the show! Enjoy!

As a teenager I would watch Matt Pinfield on MTV's '120 Minutes' every week as he introduced me to new rock, metal and alternative bands. It was one of the highlights of the week and opened me up to so much of the music I listen to today! Now, fast forward to today and Matt shares a studio with me at Westwood One, where I record Geekscape every week! Now Matt and I share the studio at the SAME TIME as we talk rock history, rock's influence on comic books (and vice versa), Matt's amazing career in music and the music you should be listening to right now. Beyond have an encyclopedic knowledge of music, Matt is also one of the nicest people I've ever had on the show with some amazing stories to boot! Enjoy!
