Geektown Radio - Tv News, Interviews & Uk Tv Air Dates

Hello, and welcome to a new Geektown Behind The Scenes podcast. This week I’m chatting with Ramsey Avery, the Production Designer behind Disney & Hulu’s sci-fi horror film ’No One Will Save You’. Written and directed by Brian Duffield, ‘No One Will Save You’ follows Brynn (Kaitlyn Dever), an exiled anxiety-ridden homebody, who must battle an alien that found its way into her home. What makes the movie particularly unique is that it features only 5 words of dialogue in the entire movie. This made Ramsey’s job an interesting challenge as he needed to help showcase all of the unspoken storytelling through his production design. It meant that his sets and designs had to be intricately planned and executed to make up for lack of words and to use the world around the main character to explain everything from who Brynn is and her backstory to the reasoning behind her choices and her relationships with other people in town with whom she only has a single non-verbal interaction.It’s a fantastic little film, and if

First up he joins last week's guest co-host in his praise for 'Furiosa', before moving onto a reviews of the Netflix animated series 'Scott Pilgrim Takes Off'. Also, given Rik is such a massive Trek fan, we hear his thoughts on 'Star Trek: Discovery', which leads into a larger discussion about 'Star Trek' in general. He also reviews one of the many retro handh

Following a little break last week due to MCM Comic-Con, we are back with a bumper, jam-packed episode 425 of the Geektown Radio podcast, and Dave is joined by film critic, multi-award-winning director, and podcaster, Matthew Stogdon, to chat TV, film, and video game news & reviews!Matthew has been a film critic since 2004, writing for various sites and magazines, along with his own site, TheRedRightHand.co.uk. He's also been a multi-award-winning filmmaker since 2009 via his company, Cheesemint Productions, and a podcaster since 2017 with his show, Sequelisers. He describes himself as "a big old nerd who has a strong love for pop culture but an unmatchable passion for film."Despite his very busy schedule, Matthew has not only managed to fit in some time for our show, but also review some film, tv and games for us!

Welcome to a new Geektown Behind The Scenes podcast.

That is, until her past finally catches up with her and she’s faced with the reality that she was created in a lab, and those who had a hand in making her want her dead…There's a stellar cast that includes Keeley Hawes (The Bodyguard, The Durrells, Line of Duty), Avan Jogia (Zombieland), James Hiroyuki Liao (Barry), Rya Kihlstedt (Superman & Lois) and Amanda Fix (High School).Prior to developing Anna worked as writer and producer on Netflix’s brilliant drama ‘Pieces of Her’, along with their YA drama ‘The Society’, AMC’s ‘Fear the Walking Dead’, and many

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'.

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 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'.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!
