After a mini hiatus we are back with my friend and fellow filmmaker Marie Jamora! Not only do I catch you up on the 1,001 things Geekscape has been working on recently, but we talk a lot of news! Marie tells us about studying under the late Philip Seymour Hoffman at Columbia as we say goodbye. The two of us tell you why ‘The LEGO Movie’ is the feel good movie of the 2014s and why Paul Bettany is going to make an awesome Vision. Plus, Marie tells us why her film ‘Ang Nawawala’ has yet to be released… and pirated!

Last week the Oscar nominations were announced! There were surprises, snubs and favorites but what’s what? Luckily, I have friends who are smarter than me and have better taste! One such friend is Witney Siebold, former Geekscape writer and current movie critic for Crave Online… as well as co-host with William Bibbiani of the B-Movies Podcast! So after recording a sister episode of the B-Movies Podcast, we sat down to talk Oscars as well as Michael Douglas being cast as Hank Pym in ‘Ant-Man’, more Star Wars talk (as if there’s ever enough) and Geekscape’s very own ‘Doc of the Dead’ premiering at SXSW 2014!

On the final day of 2013, Jon Schnepp joins me to talk about our favorite movies of 2013… and some of our not so favorite! Will ’12 Years a Slave’ be a shoe in at the Oscars or ‘American Hustle’? Will people forget movies like ‘Gravity’ or ‘Prisoners’? What about ‘Her’ and ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’? As great as ‘Pacific Rim’ was… is it as much geek fun as ‘Man of Steel’ and ‘Thor 2’? Really, this is a super long episode because there’s just so much to talk about! As great as movies were in 2013, we help you navigate your thoughts, our thoughts and everybody’s thoughts!

Jon Hotchkiss is a TV show creator with extensive credits for shows like 'Penn and Teller's Bullshit!' and 'Politically Incorrect'. Last week I discovered Jon Hotchikiss' 'This VS That' website through a friend and read a story about his TV show 'This VS That', a science test show that has never aired in the US and that Jon distributes independently through his website. The blog post talked about how his show was "taken" by Discovery Channel and Mythbusters. Wow. I know there are a lot of Mythbusters fans on Geekscape so I thought I'd sit down with Jon and get his side of the story… and here it is!

Every time Ian Kerner guests on a new Geekscape episode, it's like a major event… just like the release of 'The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug'! Ian and I sit down, break down Peter Jackson's second film in The Hobbit trilogy and how it just feels good to be back among old (and new friends) in Middle Earth! Spoilers abound, obviously, as we get right to the thick of it, just like journeying into the wilds of Mirkwood! Also, we get Ian's take on Sony's announcement of 'Venom' and 'Sinister Six' films and we also talk about the Wachowski's 'Jupiter Ascending' and Tom Cruise in 'Edge of Tomorrow'!

Mel Caylo is a longtime friend of Geekscape so it's surprising that this is his first appearance! Don't worry, because the popular comic book everyman has a lot to say! From his work at Boom! Studios to his previous gig at Archaia (now a part of Boom!), Mel knows the indie comics industry backwards and forwards. He takes this opportunity to give you the latest on what Boom! is putting out and what to pick up for the Holidays! Plus! We talk some news, like Paul Walker's tragic death, the casting of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman in 'Man of Steel 2', 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' trailer and Bryan Singer and Fox announcing 'X-Men: Apocalypse' for 2016! Oh! And we also get to the bottom as to whether or not Mel tortures his interns! This is one not to miss!

Not all good things can last and while the live shows at Toadhop have been a blast, the studio is closing up and it's time to go another way. Geekscape will always keep trucking, as you know, but this is the last Toadhop episode for the time being. Matt Raub and Ben Dunn join Kenny and I on a classic Geekscape episode in which we review 'Hunger Games: Catching Fire' and 'The Dallas Buyers Club', talk about how you shouldn't be missing 'Arrow' and that The Governor has completely reinvigorated 'The Walking Dead'! Also, Ben talks about his love for 'Zelda: A Link Between Worlds', I enthusiastically support 'Super Mario 3D World' and Matt chooses the XBox One over the PS4… and tells us why!

Jeff Grace makes his return to the show to talk about his brand new film 'Folk Hero And Funny Guy' that he's currently raising funds for, starring 'Girls' actor Alex Karpovsky! Plus, he's got a one hour Hulu comedy special coming out in January that he can only tell us a little bit about (what's the fun in that!?!)! Also, Jeff talks about releasing his movie 'It's a Disaster' on the same weekend as the Boston Bombing. How did that effect things? PLUS! 'Fangasm's Andrew Duval guest co-hosts and I drop some big news about the future of Geekscape!

Actress and host Marisha Ray makes her much deserved Geekscape debut! She talks about her projects 'Super Power Beat Down' and 'Batgirl: Spoiled'! And of course, because drama should follow any good actress, this could be the end of 'Batgirl: Spoiled' since Warner Bros just sent them a cease and desist! What are they going to do now!?! Also, how wearing a spirit hood absolutely makes you less of a man and Marisha and I review 'Thor 2: The Dark World'!
