Finally! Musician (and wonderful human being) Joel Reader is back on the Geekscape schedule! I first met Joel in 1998 as a member of the iconic Bay Area rock band The Mr. T Experience (aka my favorite band). Since then, Joel has gone on to form bands like The Plus Ones and the Boston area Power Pop group The Fatal Flaw! The whole time, Joel has remained an active part of punk groups Pansy Division and legendary band The Avengers! And now Joel arrives on Geekscape to talk about the reissue of The Ones' first release as well as new music from The Fatal Flaw! Rock and roll!

Disney+'s 'Star Wars: Skeleton Crew' just wrapped its first season... and will there be more? We ask that question and many more as Ian Kerner and I visit that galaxy far, far away with the Goonies in Space style series 'Star Wars: Skeleton Crew'! Were these brand new characters, droids, aliens, and planets as good as we'd all hoped? Does this series reawaken that old Star Wars magic? Is the mysterious Jod Na Nawood really a Jedi? And have we seen his character in the Star Wars universe before? We'll be discussing LOTS of Spoilers so don't blast off to hyperspace until you've seen all these episodes! Enjoy!

Ian Kerner and I discuss James Gunn's first (official) entry to his new DCEU with the animated 'Creature Commandos'! Just who are the Creature Commandos? Is it like the Suicide Squad? And what hints do these episodes give for future seasons or for next summer's 'Superman' film? We'll be discussing the source material and what came before! But also... SPOILERS! So be careful! Strange Creatures lurk beyond this podcast blurb!

On January 8th, our 'Two Dollar Late Fee' podscaster Dustin Rubin and his wife Erin evacuated their house in Alta Dena to avoid high winds and rolling power outages. They thought that they’d be safely back home the next day. But in less than 24 hours, the Eaton Fire tore through their neighborhood, taking their house, car, and belongings with them. They lost everything they own.

We here at Geekscape are grateful that Dustin, Erin, and their two dogs Gus and Elliot are safe. But it’s going to take a lot for them to rebuild their lives. Join us as The Geekscape Family gathers to support Dustin, share stories, and raise awareness for the other victims of this national tragedy.

Marvel's animated series 'What If...?' was released on Disney+. And it's a shame, because the first two seasons are some of the best storytelling the MCU has to offer, with multi-versal interpretations of some of our favorite Marvel characters! And sometimes these animated alternates find their way to the wider MCU, like the fan favorite Captain Carter! Now that Season 3 has concluded, it's time to search through the multiverse and answer a bunch of questions! What new characters does Season 3 introduce? Do they have origins on the comic page? Will we see these characters again? Join me and Geekscape's own Watcher, Ian Kerner, as we ask... What If...?

Kevin Smith's 'Chasing Amy' is one of my favorite films. I was just discussing its themes of friendship, love and disappointment yesterday. But it may mean even more to filmmaker Sav Rodgers. As a 12 year old queer kid from Kansas, 'Chasing Amy' forced a coming of age Sav to come to terms with his identity. In 'Chasing Chasing Amy' Rodgers examines the film and its making as a cornerstone of LGBTQ+ cinema but also finds himself at a complicated crossroads. Join us on a brand new Geekscape as we discuss both Sav and Kevin Smith's films!

Yes, this is a movie about an invisible velociraptor terrorizing a small town. And yes, Actor/Co-Writer Mike Capes, Co-Writer Johnny Wickham and Director Mike Hermosa are on Geekscape to talk about it. Who even financed a crazy movie idea like this? How did it get made? Did people think they were nuts or was there a little bit more method to their madness? Join us as we talk some filmmaking nuts and bolts, VFX and pre-pro vs miracles in post and reshoots, a potential sequel, and writing a movie designed to just get crazier and crazier. Enjoy!

And now he's back with his goretastic remake of the 1987 melting homeless people cult film 'Street Trash'! He's ALSO on Geekscape, where we talk about remaking a niche horror classic, the challenges of so many practical gore effects, camera and actor blocking on a tight schedule, and tons more! Enjoy!
