Geektown Radio - TV News, Interviews & UK TV Air Dates

We are back with a packed episode 423 of the Geektown Radio podcast, and Matt from Entertainment Talk joins Dave to chat TV, film, and video game news & reviews!

Once again, Matt has brought with him a review of something we don't usually cover on Geektown... Reality TV! This time he has been watching the BBC Three series 'I Kissed A Girl', so gives us his impressions of that. He also discusses catching up with 'X-Men '97', 'Invincible', and (of course) 'Welcome To Wrexham'. Meanwhile, Dave brings two video game reviews - the open-world RPG 'Kingdom Come: Deliverance' and the new factory builder 'Foundry'. He also reviews the new Apple TV+ series 'Dark Matter', and they both discuss the return of 'Doctor Who', now funded by "Disney Dollars."

Moving on to the news updates, as we head into "Upfronts" week in the USA, we round up all the renewals and cancellations from the major US networks, along with what shows are still left in the balance. We also talk about a new comicbook adaptation picked up by Syfy, a potential 2nd Season for ‘Shogun’, Netflix's wonderfully bonker ‘Exploding Kittens‘, and the final season of ‘Snowpiercer‘ looking like it might actually pull into the station earlier than expected!

We have a packed episode 422 of the Geektown Radio podcast, as our "film reviewer" Gray joins Dave to chat TV, film, and video game news & reviews!

Gray is back, and retaining his title as "worlds worse film reviewer", as he, of course, has not watched a single movie... However, he does come armed with a selection of TV reviews, including Romesh Ranganathan's 'Avoidance', Diane Morgan's 'Mandy', BBC's 'Race Across the World', and Netflix's 'Baby Reindeer'. He also discusses 'Interior Design Masters', 'X-Men '97', 'Beyond Paradise', and ITV's 'Red Eye'. Meanwhile, Dave has been on a Disney+ binge, with reviews of 'Welcome to Wrexham' Season 3, 'Star Wars: Tales Of The Empire', and 'Shardlake'. They also discuss the surprisingly heartbreaking 'Clarkson’s Farm' Season 3, and the utterly bonkers WTF moment in the sixth episode of Apple TV+ crime thriller 'Sugar' starring Colin Farrell (no spoilers!)

Moving on to the news, we're hurtling towards the final days of the 2024 "TV Bloodbath", so we run through what US TV shows are still left undecided, along with a number of UK cancellations and renewals. We also talk through what is going on with the potential sale of US media giant Paramount Global, CBS's ‘Fire Country’ getting a spin-off, a new live-action ‘Scooby-Doo’, and lots more!

We return with episode 421 of the Geektown Radio podcast, and Matt from Entertainment Talk joins Dave to chat TV, film, and video game news & reviews!

This week we discuss something we don't often cover here at Geektown - soaps! Specifically, some huge changes coming to one soap in particular, 'Hollyoaks'. Matt has been a longtime watcher of the soap, and they recently announced some major cost-cutting at Channel 4, which will see schedule changes and a big reduction in the cast. We discuss its impact, and why soaps are actual quite important to the UK TV landscape. Meanwhile, I have a string of reviews, including the new video game 'Manor Lords' which hit early access this week, a preview of 'Clarkson's Farm' Season 3, and reviews of Netflix's 'Dead Boy Detectives' and ITVX drama 'Red Eye'.

Moving on to the news updates, we've got all the latest recent renewals, cancellations, and pickups, including a shocking cancellation from CBS... We also discuss returning to the world of ‘Orphan Black‘, how the casting director of a new Paramount+ series loves 'EastEnders', and Alibi bringing in a new drama in both English and Welsh!

We are back with a packed episode 420 of the Geektown Radio podcast, as Dave is joined by Darryl from Hollywood North News to chat TV, film, and video game news & reviews!

It's another birthday week for the podcast as Darryl turns one year older, but that hasn't slowed him down on his TV and film reviews. This week he brings us a wide selection including horror-comedy 'Bodies, Bodies, Bodies', Jason Statham action film 'The Beekeeper', and the Zack Snyder sequel 'Rebel Moon: The Scargiver'. He also has TV reviews, with Netflix's Norwegian drama 'Midsummer Night', and 'X-Men '97'. Meanwhile, Dave has a review of the utterly bonkers 'La Brea' which returned to Paramount+ for a third and final season, along with a video game review of 'Planet Crafter', which dropped its 1.0 release last week.

Moving on to the news updates, we've got all the latest recent renewals, cancellations, and pickups, including an updated pre-game rundown as we head towards the May "TV Bloodbath". This also includes the new dramas and comedies that the various US networks have ordered to series to replace some of the cancellations. Additionally, we have news of a new Apple TV show from the people behind the brilliant 'Slow Horses'! Listen below!

We are back with a celebratory episode 419 of the Geektown Radio podcast, as Dave is joined by Matt from Entertainment Talk to chat TV, film, and video game news & reviews... and tattoos!

It's a celebratory show this week as Matt turns 30, and has chosen to show off his love for 'Toy Story' with a new tattoo! He has also chosen some interesting, rather retro, activities for his big day too! Outside of his birthday, he's been catching up with 'Halo' Season 2... albeit in a somewhat unique way... and also headed to the cinema to watch some Pixar movie re-releases. Meanwhile, Dave brings us a review of the new 'Fallout' series on Prime Video, based on the popular video game, along with diving back into 'No Man's Sky' after a two-year break. He's also, finally, got round to watching 'Oppenheimer', so gives his thoughts on that too, and tells us why it's too short...

Moving on to the news updates, we've got all the latest recent renewals, cancellations, and pickups, including Paramount+ cancelling a 'Star Trek' series, whilst CBS and the BBC come up with some surprise renewals! We also do something of a pre-game rundown as we hurtle towards the May "TV Bloodbath". Additionally, we have news of UKTV reviving a classic police drama, Mark Gatiss gets to play detective, and Ncuti's Doctor gets a new companion! Listen below!

After a little Easter break, we return for episode 418 of the Geektown Radio podcast, and Dave is joined by our "film reviewer" Gray to chat TV and film news & reviews!

Gray returns to the podcast, and upholds his title for worst film reviewer as he hasn't reviewed any films (although, to be fair, he has been away on holiday...) However, he does come with a number of TV show reviews including 'True Detective', 'Mr & Mrs Smith', and 'Murder At The End Of The World'. And just to counter those heavy dramas, he also reviews 'Is It Cake', 'Taskmaster' and a whole string of 'Drag Race'-related content! In addition to all that, he gives his thoughts on 'X-Men '97', as something of a huge fan of the original series. Meanwhile, Dave reviews 'Tracker' which appeared recently on Disney+ UK, along with new Apple series 'Sugar' starring Colin Farrell, Steven Knight's 'This Town', which you can find on iPlayer, and the return of 'Star Trek: Discovery' for one final mission. We also both discuss the rather interesting PR strategy of Joe Lycett, who returns this week with his show 'Late Night Lycett', and how a number of the sillier news stories you have been seeing recently may not have been true...

Moving on to the news updates, we've got all the latest recent renewals, cancellations, and pickups, including NBC shutting down the 'Quantum Leap' accelerator, 'Big Boys' finishing Uni, and 'Gladiators' fighting their way to a second season. We also have news on Disney+'s big “Star Wars Day” release, a bunch of Disney content coming to UKTV, a possible new iteration of ‘The Grand Tour’, and news on MGM+ launching in the UK. Listen below!

As it was Easter, Dave gave the co-hosts the week off, but we do have a brilliant Geektown Behind The Scenes Podcast, especially for those of you who are fans of 'Star Trek: Discovery', as we interview the Discovery captain herself, Sonequa Martin-Green, and prolific composer Jeff Russo, who not only scores Discovery, but a million other amazing shows!

'Star Trek: Discovery' returns on Thursday, 4th April 2024 for its 5th and final season, as Sonequa Martin-Green takes the helm one last time in an epic adventure. In the interview, Sonequa discusses her feelings about the series coming to a close, the journey of her character, Michael, and whether we may see more of her in a Starfleet uniform at some point in the future...

In the second interview, Dave catches up with composer Jeff Russo, the man who not only scores 'Star Trek: Discovery', but is also something of an overseer for the music across the current Star Trek franchise.

In addition to 'Discovery', Jeff has a second show dropping on Thursday, 4th April 2024, which is Netflix’s much anticipated ‘Ripley’, a new adaptation of ‘The Talented Mr. Ripley’ starring Andrew Scott, which re-teams Jeff with the brilliant director Steven Zaillian, who he previously worked with on incredible mini-series ‘The Night Of’.

Jeff is a prolific composer and has worked on such a ridiculous number of shows it is hard to keep track. In the interview, we not only talk about his work on 'Star Trek: Discovery' and 'Ripley', but also FX’s ’Fargo’, which recently concluded its 5th Season, Apple TV+’s ‘For All Mankind’, Netflix's ‘The Umbrella Academy’ which returns for its final season in August, and CBS dramedy ‘So Help Me Todd’.

We are back with episode 417 of the Geektown Radio podcast, and Matt from Entertainment Talk joins Dave as they chat TV, games, and film news & reviews!

This week, Matt makes a second attempt to watch 'Dune' on Netflix... How does he do? Listen to find out! He also chats season six of 'Young Sheldon', and updates us on his progress through the video game 'Lies Of P'. Meanwhile, Dave has been working his way through the new epic Netflix sci-fi drama '3 Body Problem' so brings us a review of that, and how it added to his irritation about the end of 'Game Of Thrones'... He also reviews the video game 'Mind Over Magic' which is out in Early Access on Steam, discusses the finales of both 'Halo' Season 2 and 'Twisted Metal', and his time spent this week at MegaCon Birmingham. They also both give their thoughts on the 'X-Men' animated series, both the original show and the new 'X-Men '97'.

Moving on to the news updates, we've got all the latest recent renewals, cancellations, and pickups, including a very odd cancellation by Sky, how Neil Patrick Harris cannot catch a break, and NBC handing out a stack of renewals (except one...) We also talk about the BBC picking up a bunch of US imports, Paramount+ getting a ridiculous voice cast for an animated series, and a potential follow-up to the medical drama'New Amsterdam'!

We are back with another Geektown Behind The Scenes Podcast, and this week Dave is chatting with the sound team behind Apple TV+’s epic WW II drama ‘Masters Of The Air’- Supervising Sound Editor, Jack Whittaker, and Re-Recording Mixers Duncan McRae and Michael Minkler.

‘Masters Of The Air’ stars Austin Butler and Callum Turner, and follows the incredible true story of the 100th Bomb Group, a B-17 Flying Fortress heavy bomber unit in the US Eighth Air Force, based in England during World War II. It is the third series from the creative team behind both ‘Band Of Brothers’ and ‘The Pacific’.

In the epic drama, Jack’s expertise as a Supervising Sound Editor ensures that every auditory detail, from the roar of engines to the subtle nuances of dialogue, contributes to the immersive storytelling experience. He collaborates with Re-Recording Mixers Michael & Duncan, whose mastery lies in blending and enhancing different audio elements, the sound team meticulously crafts a sonic landscape that transports viewers into the heart of World War II aviation.

Their work goes beyond mere technicality – it becomes a narrative force. The rumble of engines becomes a heartbeat, the soaring planes echo the bravery of young pilots, and the silence between explosions creates tension that underscores the gravity of their missions. Through their artistry, the sound team adds layers of emotion, suspense, and authenticity, enriching the narrative and ensuring that the audience feels the intensity of the story on a visceral level.

Jack Whittaker's previous work includes films such as Marvel’s ‘Shang-Chi’, Ryan Reynolds ‘Free Guy’, and the Oscar-winning short ‘War Is Over!’. Duncan McRae also worked on ‘War Is Over!’, along with the films ‘One Night in Miami’, ‘Hamilton’, and ‘John Wick: Chapter 3’. Michael Minkler's extensive CV includes ‘The Pacific’, ‘Elvis’ (also starring Austin Butler), Tom Hanks film ‘Greyhound’, plus ‘Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood’, ‘Mamma Mia!’,‘Dreamgirls’, and even goes back to ’Star Wars: A New Hope’.

If you've yet to catch ‘Masters Of The Air’ the entire series is available now on Apple TV+ worldwide.

We return with episode 416 of the Geektown Radio podcast, and Dave is joined by Darryl from Hollywood North News, as they chat TV and film news and reviews!

Darryl always brings with him some interesting and eclectic choices when it comes to TV and film reviews and this week's options are beautifully odd. He begins with the genius that is the film 'Robocroc' which you can find on Prime Video in the UK. He also reviews various Netflix films including vampire movie 'V For Vengeance', Millie Bobby Brown film 'Damsel', and 'Code 8 Part II' starring Steven and Robbie Amell. If that wasn't enough, they also discuss Disney+ series 'Death and Other Details'. Meanwhile, Dave has been working through various previews of shows, including Anthony Mackie's series 'Twisted Metal', which lands this week on Paramount+, 'The Cleaning Lady', which started last week on Sky Witness, and the long and torturous wait for the return of 'Invincible' being over on Prime Video.

Moving into the news updates, we've got all the latest recent renewals, cancellations, and pickups, including an air date for the return of 'Doctor Who', losing one part of the 'Power' franchise, but gaining another, and a premiere for ‘Star Wars: The Acolyte‘! We also run through the ridiculous cast of Harlan Coben’s ‘Missing You’ on Netflix, and see David Tennant turn his hand to game show hosting! Listen below!

In episode 415 of the Geektown Radio podcast, Dave is joined by our film reviewer Gray, as we chat everything Oscars, along with our week in TV and some other movies!

The big thing this week was, of course, The Oscars, so Gray and Day discuss the show itself, along with the winners and losers from the awards, and some of the entertaining things which happened. Gray also brings us a film review of the latest Matthew Vaughn movie'Argylle', and a review of Disney/Marvel series 'Echo' (yes, I know he's very late to the party on that!) They also discuss the new Rob Beckett panel show 'Smart TV' on Sky. Meanwhile, Dave reviews the fun crime/mystery series 'Death and Other Details' which is on Disney+, and they both give their thoughts on the superpowered comedy 'Extraordinary', which returned this week for Season 2, also on Disney+.

Moving into the news updates, we've got all the latest recent renewals, cancellations, and pickups, including a UK premiere date for ‘Orphan Black: Echoes‘, two shows renewed but ending, and the cancellation of an entire streaming service in the UK... sort of... In the news we have the BBC bringing a new version of Ian Rankin’s ‘Rebus’ novels to screen, Harlan Coben’s latest Netflix drama finding its lead, and the possible return of 'Baywatch'!

We are back with episode 414 of the Geektown Radio podcast! This week Matt From Entertainment Talk joins Dave to chat through the latest news in TV shows and films.

This week, Matt has been more focused on gaming than TV, as his "games to play" pile has gotten a little high! Not helping matters is a seventh playthrough of his beloved 'Last Of Us 2', but with the new season of the TV show back in the news (which we also talk about), he discusses his thoughts on what bits might make the transition from the game to the show. He also brings with him a review of 'Final Fantasy VII Remake', and chats about 'Young Sheldon'. Meanwhile, Dave has been catching up on new shows. Following the chat last week with Darryl, he reviews the live-action 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' on Netflix, and the new Disney+ series 'Shogun' which landed last week. He also reviews the wonderfully silly 'Completely Made-Up Adventures Of Dick Turpin' on Apple TV+!

Geektown Radio will be back next week, but before we return for the main show, we have some more interviews for you! This week, I'm chatting with the lovely composer, Jake Monaco.

Jake Monaco is an American film and TV composer, who has worked on a huge array of projects, from some of the biggest film scores of the past decade, to children’s TV shows, and everything in between. We’ve previously spoken to Jake about his work on Netflix’s ‘Dinotrux’, Amazon’s ‘The Stinky & Dirty Show’, along with working as a producer and composer of additional music for Christophe Beck, where he worked on things such as ‘Frozen’, ‘The Hangover’ trilogy, and ‘The Muppets’.

His latest project is a bit of a departure from his previous work, as he scores National Geographic’s ‘Incredible Animal Journeys’, narrated by Hawkeye himself, Jeremy Renner, which you can find on Disney+ in the UK. This fascinating nature series follows the travels of a huge array of animals, from the humpback to the dung beetle, and many other species. We discuss Jake’s approach to the soundscape of the series, and creating the music most fitting for each creature’s journey.

Since we last spoke to Jake he’s also worked on several other projects for Disney, including ‘Cars on the Road’, ‘Forky Asks a Question’, and ‘Lamp Life’, so we touch on those, and many of his other projects too.

As I'm still away at the moment, we're starting the year with some new episodes of the Geektown Behind The Scenes podcast before the main Geektown Radio show returns later this month. This week, I'm chatting with Emmy-winning and ADG award-nominated production designer, Adam Rowe.

Adam Rowe is an Art Director and Production Designer for TV and stage, who has worked across a huge eclectic mix of projects including the new 'Quantum Leap', 'Mr. Mayor', CBS series 'Good Sam', and our beloved ‘The Good Place’. One of his other more recent projects was the Netflix series ‘Glamorous’, from 'Star Trek: Discovery' and 'Quantico' producer Jordan Nardino.

‘Glamorous’ introduces us to makeup-obsessed and gender non-conforming queer Marco (played by Miss Benny) as he’s given the opportunity of a lifetime to work under makeup mogul, Madolyn Addison (played by Kim Cattrall), and the makeup empire she’s created. While navigating his new job, Marco also finds challenges in his new life and what it means to be queer.

In the interview, we discuss Adam's fascinating work creating this glamorous world, including the unique office space, Marco's room, and various other interesting environments. We also talk about how they cleverly reused some of the sets for the upcoming reboot of the classic legal series 'Matlock' starring Academy & Emmy Award Winner Kathy Bates.

Other projects Adam has worked on include ‘House’, ‘Criminal Minds’, ‘Dexter’, ‘Parks and Recreation’, ‘American Crime Story: Versace’, and the long-running crime dramedy ‘Rizzoli & Isles’. He also worked on the Fox live adaptation of the stage show ‘Rent’ which saw him win the Emmy this year for Outstanding Production Design For A Variety Special.

Matt has been catching up with 'Harley Quinn' as we discuss how DC's adult animated series has grown and evolved over its seasons, and whether it is the best DC TV show on air.

Gray, of course, has not got any films to review this week, but in fairness, he does have some big personal news which has been distracting him! He does, however, have a LOT of TV shows to review, one of which even involves football! This week he discusses the return of 'Solar Opposites', completing both 'Ghosts' UK and USA versions, and watching Netflix's 'Beckham' docuseries (in his defence, it does also involve a Spice Girl...)

We are back with a new episode of the Geektown Behind The Scenes podcast. This week, I'm chatting with Jamie Barty, VFX Supervisor at FuseFX, about his work on various projects, including Prime Video's wonderfully weird 'I'm A Virgo'.

British-born, but based in Fuse’s Canada office, Jamie has worked on a huge array of shows for the company, including ‘The Orville’, ‘Fort Salem’, ‘La Brea’, ’Snowpiercer’ and ‘Upload’, some of which we delve into during the interview. However, we begin by chatting about his more recent project, ‘I’m A Virgo’, which is available now on Prime Video.

From director Boots Riley, ‘I’m A Virgo’ is a fantastical coming-of-age story of a 13-foot-tall man, Cootie, who is hidden in Oakland, CA, but escapes to experience the world. On his journey, he forms friendships, finds love, encounters awkward situations, and so much more. The series stars Jharrel Jerome as Cootie, Brett Gray, Mike Epps and more.

FuseFX collaborated closely with Boots to create the alternative reality of Cootie. The team implemented many in-camera and VFX tricks to give Cootie his impressive 13-ft tall stature, including miniatures, puppets, full digi-double characters, CG props, shrinking of other characters, and camera/compositing trickery. The team strived to achieve a realistic blend of practical in-camera effects with CG and digital compositing.

We are back with a new episode of the Geektown Behind The Scenes podcast. This time, I'm chatting with writer, artist, and animator Caroline Foley.

Caroline has worked on an array of varied projects, from adult animation such as Bojack Horseman and Rick & Morty to the much-loved YouTube series Toca Life Stories and Blippi Wonders.

On Bojack Horseman, Caroline helped figure out how Bojack would move around throughout the series. On Rick and Morty, she was one of the only full-time stateside animators for seasons 1-3, and was responsible for animating new scenes when the script had changes in the post-production phase, or when animation needed an important retake from the partner studio. Notably, this includes Rick’s suicide attempt from season 2 episode 3, a scene that took almost 2 weeks to complete.

As story editor for Toca Life Stories, she was responsible for hiring the writing team for all 40 episodes and developing the main characters. One episode, in particular, has garnered over 11 million views to date. Caroline also noted and revised over 40 episodes of Blippi Wonders and wrote over a dozen.

Caroline has also developed and produced pilots for Apple, Amazon and Cartoon Network, integrating her unique style and showcasing her capabilities with 2D pipelines, stop-motion animation and more. outside of the television and film space, she also creates comics and is the owner of her own company, Tiny Lion, where she produces independent projects.

After a somewhat exausting, but awesome weekend at MCM Comic-Con in London, I'm joined by the lovely Bex from TristaBytes (along with most of her voice...), to discuss things we saw at the event, along with the latest UK TV, TV news and UK TV air dates.

As Bex wouldn't be Bex if she wasn't injured in some way before coming on the show, she is just getting over a bout of tonsillitis, so has been binge watching her way through a number of older tv series. This includes chatting about the rather abrupt ending to 'Star Trek: Voyager', and discussing how season one of 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer' stands up today.

We are back with a new episode of the Geektown Behind The Scenes podcast. For this episode, we've teamed up with Matt from Entertainment Talk, and my 'World Of The Last Of Us' podcast co-host, as we're chatting with John Paino, the production designer on HBO’s fantastic adaptation of the Naughty Dog video game 'The Last of Us'.

The Last of Us’ takes place 20 years after modern civilization’s destruction. Joel (Pedro Pascal – ‘The Mandalorian’), a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie (Bella Ramsey – ‘Game Of Thrones’), a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal and heartbreaking journey as they both must traverse the U.S. and depend on each other for survival.

John Paino is a highly experienced production designer, having previously worked on tv shows such as 'The Leftovers', 'Sharp Objects', 'Big Little Lies', 'The Morning Show', and 'The Shrink Nextdoor', along with films such as 'Dallas Buyers Club' and 'Margin Call'. However, 'The Last Of Us' presented him with a whole new set of extraordinary challenges.

From houses and restaurants to malls and infrastructure, John was tasked with recreating dozens of post-apocalyptic sets completely from scratch. By relying on physical structures instead of visual effects, John managed to fully immerse actors and viewers into the world of the fan-favourite game.

I think it's fair to say, John's work has paid off. The reaction to the series has been both a critical and rating success on both sides of the Atlantic. In the UK, it was the biggest audience ever for a first-series US drama finale on Sky. In the US, the audience has grown week-on-week, with the finale up a staggering 74% on the premiere episode. This series also has been praised by critics and fans across the board.

'The Last Of Us' Season 1 can be found via Sky On Demand and the NOW streaming service in the UK, and on HBO Max in the USA. If you want to keep track of this or any other show, you can add them viaour Never Miss system, and you’ll be notified when they get a UK premiere date.

Robert chats about picking up the post-apocalyptic base-building game 'Surviving The Aftermath', along with 'Days Gone'. He also discusses the tv shows 'Gold Rush' and 'Curse Of Oak Island'. Meanwhile, I picked up'Hogwarts Legacy', and 'Gotham Knights', so review both of those. I also review the new Kiefer Sutherland drama 'Rabbit Hole' which is on Paramount+, and chat about changes coming to 'Stranded: Alien Dawn', and 'Satisfactory'.

We are back with new episode of the Geektown Behind The Scenes podcast. This week I’m chatting with Art Codron, the VFX supervisor for FuseFX on the third season of Netflix’s 'Outer Banks'.

Art Codron is a three-time Emmy Award winner, who has worked on shows such as ‘Ozark’, ‘Prison Break’, and ’The Morning Show’, along with his other current show, ‘The Rookie’. Whilst these days he tends to lean more into shows with more “invisible effects”, he began his VFX career working on the ’Star Trek’ franchise, beginning on ‘The Next Generation’ and ‘Deep Space Nine’, then becoming a VFX supervisor on ‘Voyager’ and ‘Enterprise’.

‘Outer Banks’ is a wonderfully fun action-adventure series which follows teen John B (Chase Stokes), who enlists his three best friends to hunt for a legendary treasure linked to his father's disappearance. The series also stars Madelyn Cline (Sarah Cameron), Madison Bailey (Kiara), Jonathan Daviss (Pope), Rudy Pankow (JJ), Austin North (Topper), Drew Starkey (Rafe), Carlacia Grant (Cleo) and Charles Esten (Ward Cameron) with Cullen Moss (Shoupe), Julia Antonelli (Wheezie Cameron), Caroline Arapoglou (Rose Cameron), E. Roger Mitchell (Heyward), Charles Halford (Big John), Elizabeth Mitchell (Limbrey), and Andy McQueen (Carlos Singh).

The most recent third season saw the gang chase the gold to the Caribbean and South American, which created some interesting challenges for the VFX team. These included a plane crash into the ocean and a shot of a whale, which involved complex water simulations and physics. They also had to create the gold-laden caves of El Dorado, enhancing the shots with composition and CG, along with painting out all manner of production equipment.

After an extended break, we are back with more episodes of the Geektown Radio podcast right up until Christmas, and Matt from Entertainment Talk returns to the co-host chair to chat through and review the last few weeks on UK TV, film, and gaming, alongside the usual TV news and UK TV air dates.

As we have been "off air" for a few weeks we have lots to catch up on. Matt begins with a review of Apple TV+ series 'The Mosquito Coast' which returned for Season 2, and also discusses the new trailer for 'The Last Of Us' tv show, which he is extremely excited about. Meanwhile, I bring some spoiler-free thoughts on a couple of shows I caught whilst I was away - 'Our Flag Means Death', which has just been picked up by the BBC for the UK, and 'Titans' Season 4, which we're expecting in the new year on Netflix UK.

In the news, we also run through some of the stories we missed whilst we were off. That includes all the renewals, cancellations and pick-ups such as ‘Staged’ Season 3, 'Neighbours', and the new 'Spider-man' adjacent series coming to Prime Video. We also chat about ITVX and there new Arthurian Legend series ‘The Winter King’, and Netflix's new "pick an episode to start" heist drama 'Kaleidoscope'.

As the main Geektown Radio podcast is still on a little break whilst I'm away, we have new episode of the Geektown Behind The Scenes podcast, and this time I'm chatting with the wonderful Claire Lim, aka "WeeClaire".

Claire is a presenter, Twitch streamer, podcast host, and all-around lovely human being. If you’ve ever been to an MCM Comic-Con you will know Claire as one of the Main Stage panel hosts, but you may also know her from her work on BBC The Social, Colin Murray’s show on BBC Radio 5 Live, the NME, her REAL IMAGINED FUTURES podcast, or a myriad of other interviews around the internet and tv.

An accomplished interviewer, Claire has chatted with some of the biggest names in Hollywood including Jeff Goldblum, Jamie Lee Curtis, Linda Hamilton, Michael Sheen, Simon Pegg, and many many more! Outside of interviewing, she fronted the BBC documentary 'Screen Grab', appeared on '007: Licence To Drive' on Sky, and co-hosted 'The Great PC Build-Off' for Intel. She also hosts panels at hosted panels at Scotland Comic Con and FanX Salt Lake in America, and is a Twitch Partner, regularly streaming to her community of fans.

In the interview, we discuss Claire’s approach to interviewing, and some of her favourite guests. She recently hosted the Main Stage at MCM Birmingham (which I, of course, missed as I am away right now!) so I wanted to get her thoughts on how things went, and she also gives some behind-the-scenes info about the panels! We also discuss how she got started, what she’s doing next, and, also a random discussion about the ‘Walking Dead’ finale (spoiler free!)

As the main Geektown Radio podcast is on a little break whilst I'm away, we bring you a new episode of the Geektown Behind The Scenes podcast, in which I chat to Hollywood editor & producer, Zack Arnold, editor on the brilliant 'Cobra Kai', and founder of Optimize Yourself.

Zack is an editor on Netflix’s smash hit series, 'Cobra Kai'... However, he is also the Founder of 'Optimize Yourself', a brilliant podcast series and coaching programme to help creative professionals get through their working lives without having to sacrifice their health, relationships, or sanity in the process.

Zack's story is an interesting one. He was a massive fan of the 'Karate Kid' films, and actively pursued the editing job on 'Cobra Kai' after watching the first season. In the interview, he discusses how his love and encyclopaedic knowledge of the movies have helped him in editing the hit Netflix drama.

Outside of 'Cobra Kai', Zack's other notable credits include 'Empire', 'Burn Notice', and 'Glee'. We also chat about the documentary film, 'GO FAR: The Christopher Rush Story', which he directed. You can see the entire movie for free here.

We return with a new episode of the Geektown Radio podcast, and this week we have a special show dedicated to MCM Comic-Con, which was held in London over the weekend.

As I'm currently buried under a mountain of editing, the episode this week features a number of clips from panels and interviews at MCM Comic-Con. We have Michael Sheen dishing the dirt (sort of...) on David Tennant, as he chats about his 'Good Omens' co-star. We have Mason Alexander Park & Tom Sturridge, aka Desire and Dream from Netflix's 'The Sandman' talking about their characters. We also have a longer interview with the creators and star of 'We Are Not Alone', a brand new original film coming to UKTV's Dave channel later this month.

'We Are Not Alone' stars Declan Baxter as hapless Clitheroe resident Stewart, selected by Gu'uns Trater (Vicki Pepperdine), Gordan (Mike Wozniak) and Greggs (Joe Thomas) as their official human liaison. Stewart must help the Gu'uns win favour with humankind, secretly aid Grieves (Amanda Abbington) and the human resistance, and somehow manage his enduring crush on Elodie (Georgia May Foote).

The film comes from Laurence Rickard & Ben Willbond, two of the people behind hit comedy 'Ghosts', along with the wonderful 'Yonderland' and 'Horrible Histories'. In the interview, we chat with Laurence, Ben and Declan about their new project.

In addition to all that, we also bring you the latest television renewals and cancellations, including the news about 'The Witcher' Season 4. We also have highlights from the next 7 days on UK TV.

After a brief unexpected hiatus last week, we are back with a new episode of the Geektown Radio podcast, and Matt from Entertainment Talk returns to the co-host chair to chat through and review the last seven days on UK TV, film, and gaming, alongside the usual TV news and UK TV air dates.

As we've been off for a week, there is lots to talk about in tv, film and gaming! Matt begins by reviewing the Netflix series 'Cyberpunk: Edgerunners', and the new DCEU film 'Black Adam'... One of which he likes a lot more than the other! He also discusses the 'Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2' campaign mode, and the latest season of 'Harley Quinn'. Meanwhile, I chat through new Prime Video drama 'The Peripheral', and discuss Jodie Whittaker's final outing in 'Doctor Who'. We also both chat through the wonderfully bonkers conclusion to 'She-Hulk'.

On this week's Geektown Radio podcast, Robert from Entertainment Talk returns to the co-host chair to chat through and review the last seven days on UK TV, film, and gaming, alongside the usual TV news and UK TV air dates.

As Robert is here, things inevitably turn to gaming, so we discuss 'Grounded', a unique base-building and survival game which was recently released out of early access and into 1.0. We also chat about 'Stranded: Alien Dawn', another based-building survival game which has just begun its journey as it enters early access on Wednesday, 12th October 2022, and I had the chance to play a preview version. On the tv side, Robert reviews new Marvel "special presentation" 'Werewolf by Night', which landed last week on Disney+, and I talk about the brilliant stand-up special 'Hasan Minhaj: The King's Jester', which landed on Netflix last week.

Over in the TV news, we chat through all the renewals, cancellations (or rather, lack of this week!) and pick-ups. We talk about 'The Handmaid’s Tale' getting co-ownership in the UK, a new history series from Tony Robinson, and the return of 'Doctor Who'.

This week's Geektown Radio podcast sees Darryl from Hollywood North News return to the co-host chair to chat through and review the last seven days on UK TV, film, and gaming, alongside the usual TV news and UK TV air dates.

Darryl kicks off his reviews this week chatting about 'Inside Man', the new BBC drama from Steven Moffat, packed with an impressive cast, but does it live up to the sum of its parts? He also reviews 'Delete' parts one and two, which is a Canadian tv movie recently released on Prime Video UK, full of familiar faces, about a rogue AI. He also reviews something called a "book" (a thing made of paper, bound together)... In this case, 'He Who Fights With Monsters', a LitRPG novel series from author Shirtaloon. Meanwhile, I have been delving into the game Matt mentioned last week, 'Disney Dreamlight Valley', so give my thoughts on that. We also dissect 'She-Hulk' - What we think now we're six episodes in. What is working, what isn't, and what we'd like to see in the future.

Over in the TV news, we chat through all the renewals, cancellations and pick-ups. We discuss changes at The CW in the USA, why the UK doesn't seem to be getting new shows from AMC, and 'The Daily Show' getting a new host. We also have a pile of MCU news from 'Deadpool 3' and 'Thunderbolts', plus casting for Apple TV+ series 'Time Bandits'.

After a bit of return to normality in the tv world, the Geektown Radio podcast is back with our Matt from Entertainment Talk to chat through and review the last seven days on UK TV, film, and gaming, alongside the usual TV news and UK TV air dates.

The review side of things has a bit of a gaming lean to it this week, as Matt dives into 'Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2' beta, so gives his thoughts on that. He has also been playing around in a building game for the first time, as he sets foot in 'Disney Dreamlight Valley', a brand new life-sim/adventure game filled with your favourite Disney characters. He also talks about Season 3 if the stupidly named 'High School Musical: The Musical: The Series' on Disney+ and Apple+ TV series 'Central Park'. Meanwhile, I chat through heading back to my childhood with the wonderful 'Return To Monkey Island', and building factories on a remote planet as 'Satisfactory' releases Update 6. We also both give our thoughts on the big release from last week, 'Star Wars: Andor'.

Over in the TV news, we chat through all the renewals, cancellations and pick-ups. We discuss James Earl Jones' retirement, although his voice will live on in digital form. We discuss the return of 'Doctor Who', and who she might regenerate into, as rumours persist it may not be who we think. We also run through all the announcements from Netflix's "Tudum" fan event, 'Scanners' getting new life on HBO, and what 'Breaking Bad's Vince Gilligan is doing next! It's a packed show!

After a very strange week of tv, the Geektown Radio podcast returns with our film reviewer Gray to chat through and review the last seven days on UK TV, film, and gaming, alongside the usual TV news and UK TV air dates.

Gray might be our film reviewer, but this month has not reviewed any films (to be fair, he has been sick, so we'll let him off this once!) However, during his recovery, he has been catching up on shows which he hadn't finished, so talks about 'Grace', 'CSI: Vegas', 'The Orville', and 'Abbott Elementary', along with a longer discussion about the new US version of 'Queer As Folk'. Meanwhile, I picked up the new drama from 'The Vampire Diaries' creator Julie Plec, 'Vampire Academy', and give my thoughts on how the two compare.

Over in the TV news, we chat through all the renewals, cancellations and pick-ups. We discuss the BBC getting more 'Ghosts', but these have an American accent, the removal and arrival of ‘Constantine’ on film and tv, and the Emmy Awards. We also talk about some of the shows we didn't cover last week announced at D23, and Prime Video ordering a 'Blade Runner' series!

With Bex back on the show, talk, of course, turns to gaming, as she has recently returned from the massively huge Gamescom event in Germany... so huge in fact, she got lost, a lot (although, this is Bex we're talking about, so that shouldn't be so surprising!) We also review 'Thor: Love & Thunder' which recently landed on Disney+. That leads to a broader discussion about the state of the MCU overall.

Over in the TV news, we chat through all the renewals, cancellations and pick-ups. We discuss 'Superman & Lois' getting a new Jonathan Kent (and explain what happened to the old one). We chat about 'Titans' adding Lex Luthor, various surprise additions to Disney+, and the return of the 'Teletubbies'... The bulk of the mai

With Robert on the show, things inevitably turn to gaming, so we chat about 'Farthest Frontier', a new city builder which was recently released into Early Access on Steam. We also discuss some of the shows he's been watching as he gives his thoughts on 'She-Hulk', along with chatting about 'Welcome To Wrexham' (and how strange the UK football league set up is to an American!) Meanwhile, I review my latest gaming pick-up, 'Hard West 2', which is an 'X-Com'-esque romp through the wild west with a supernatural twist. I also review the big show of the week, 'Lord Of The Rings: Rings Of Power', which dropped its first two episodes on Prime Video.

Over in the TV news, we chat through all the renewals, cancellations and pick-ups. We talk about 'The Bear' finally getting released in the UK, 'WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story' (and Daniel Radcliffe's interesting acting roles!), a possible new MCU series, casting for the 'Orphan Black' spin-off, and a possible prequel to 'The Crown'.

It turns out Matt and I have both been watching most of the same shows this week, but before we get to those he catches use up with some Twitch and YouTube recommendations. First, our very own TristaBytes as Matt works his way through some of her "Tomb Failer" streams in Twitch. He also highlights PlayStation Access' "Metal Gear Stupid" videos on YouTube, as two idiots play 'Metal Gear Solid' for the first time, watched by their experienced, and somewhat exasperated mate! As we move to talking about TV, we review our return to Westeros in 'House Of The Dragon' on Sky, the return of 'SEE' on Apple TV+, and discuss football docuseries 'Welcome To Wrexham' on Disney+. I also review 'Top Gun: Maverick', and BBC drama 'The Capture', which returned for season two.

On this episode of the Geektown Radio podcast, I'm joined by Matt from Entertainment Talk in the co-host chair to chat through and review the last seven days on UK TV, film, and gaming, alongside the usual TV news and UK TV air dates.

Matt has been finishing of the third season of the brilliant 'Atlanta' on Disney+, so gives his thoughts about the season overall.

In this episode of the Geektown Behind The Scenes podcast, I'm chatting Steffan Falesitch, Supervising Sound Editor on the critically acclaimed and multi-award-winning FX series 'What We Do in the Shadows'.

From the minds of Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, 'What We Do in the Shadows' is a mockumentary comedy horror which takes a look into the daily (or rather, nightly) lives of four vampires, who've lived together for over 100 years, on Staten Island.

Steffan, along with the rest of the sound team, has been nominated for the Outstanding Sound Editing in a Comedy or Drama Emmy this year for the season three episode "The Escape". The show also has nominations for "Outstanding Comedy", "Outstanding Writing", "Costumes", "Sound Mixing", and "Stunts" this year too.

Alongside WWDITS, Steffan has worked on a host of shows from 'The Shrink Next Door' and 'Our Flag Means Death' to 'The Affair' and 'The L Word: Generation Q'. However, the series we are mainly talking to him about today is 'What We Do in the Shadows'.

On a side-note, 'What We Do in the Shadows' has previously aired on the BBC in the UK, however, now that their deal with FX has ended, it is possible the 4th season may move straight to Disney+. At the moment we just don't know. The fourth season is currently airing on FX in the USA.

If you want to keep track of this or any other shows, you can add them viaour Never Miss system, and you’ll be notified when they get a UK premiere date.

He follows that by delving through the weirdness of the latest 'Riverdale' season (so you don't have to), talks Brad Pitt in the movie 'Bullet Train', reviews 'Emily The Criminal' starring Aubrey Plaza and Theo Rossi, along with Roland Emmerich's latest disaster film 'Moonfall'.

I know many of you might be expecting a normal Geektown Radio episode this week, but unfortunately, we had to skip it due to timing issues. We usually record on Mondays, and I was in London interviewing the cast of Halo (watch out for that interview coming soon!)

However, to tide you over until next week, we have an interview with Stunt Coordinator Matt LeFevour, who has worked on a huge array of tv shows and movies, both performing and coordinating stunt work. He was stunt coordinator on the Apple TV+ series 'Shining Girls', Showtime series 'The Chi', along with working on Chicago Fire, Med and PD.

On the film side, Matt stunt coordinated Aaron Sorkin’s six-time Oscar-nominated feature 'The Trial of the Chicago 7' which earned him a SAG Award nomination for Outstanding Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble. He has also worked on various comic book projects including almost all of the Batman films from 'Batman Begins' through to 'The Batman', where he served as assistant stunt coordinator.

In addition to all that, he is Chris Hemsworth's stunt double for many of his movies, including the 'Thor' films and other appearances in the MCU. He is currently working on 'Power Book IV: Force', and was stunt coordinator on 'Mike', the upcoming Hulu drama based on the life of heavyweight champion Mike Tyson.

Over in the USA, they announced a number of new shows, along with dropping a bunch of trailers and premiere dates. We give you a round-up of all the major news stories from a galaxy far, far, away...

The Geektown Radio podcast returns this week as Matt from Entertainment Talk joins me to chat through and review the last seven days on UK TV, film, and gaming, alongside the usual TV news and UK TV air dates.

Matt has been catching up with 'Heartstopper', the breakout Netflix LGBTQ+ hit series, so gives us his thoughts now he has completed the first season.

We then both discuss Steven Moffat’s adaptation of ‘The Time Traveler’s Wife‘, which began last week on Sky. Meanwhile, I review the new Amazon series 'Night Sky' starring Sissy Spacek and J.K. Simmons, and the 'Chip n' Dale: Rescue Rangers' film which is on Disney+.

In an extended episode of the Geektown Radio podcast this week, Matt from Entertainment Talk joins me to chat through the last seven days on UK TV, film, and gaming, alongside the usual TV news and UK TV air dates, PLUS we also go through a post "TV Bloodbath" analysis.

Unable to kick his Apple TV+ addiction, Matt begins with a review of their new shows 'Shining Girls', a thriller starring Elisabeth Moss, and 'The Essex Serpent', a period gothic romance starring Claire Danes and Tom Hiddleston. Meanwhile, I chat through new Netflix show 'The Lincoln Lawyer' from David E. Kelly, and we both discuss the comedy 'How I Met Your Father', which landed last week on Disney+ UK.

Over in the TV news, things are a little different this week. Last Thursday was what we refer to as the annual "TV Bloodbath" day, when the five big US networks cancel and renew all the shows on their services. This year it was extremely bloody, but most of it came from one very surprising source! We run through all the shows which failed to make it, and those shows which will be returning on The CW, NBC, CBS, ABC and FOX.

We talk a little about Ncuti Gatwa and get to know a bit more about him. We also talk about NBC's new time-travel based reboot and a possible new DC show on HBO Max.
