Matt returns to the show, and one of his first loves, 'Hollyoaks'. We discussed a few months ago how the soap was about to go through some massive changes which included firing half the cast and a big shake-up in format and storylines. Now that has all happened, Matt updates us with his thoughts on how it has been going for the 30-year-old series. Meanwhile, Dave has stories from the MCM Comic-Con and EGX Gaming Festival and his thoughts on this combined version of the events. He also reviews the new Ryan Murphy drama 'Doctor Odyssey', which dropped onto Disney+ UK recently, 'Star Trek: Lower Decks' which returned for its final season, Netflix series 'The Diplomat', and the finales of both 'Agatha All Along' and 'Only Murders In The Building'.
Over on the news updates, we bring you all of last week's cancellations and renewals, including Amazon cancelling James May's travel plans, and Apple cancelling a new show. We also have the entire Marvel release schedule for the next 12 months on Disney+ and cinema, the obscure place you can watch âLaw & Order Toronto: Criminal Intentâ in the UK, the return of âJack Ryanâ, a possible location for a new '9-1-1', news of Amazonâs Live-Action âGod Of Warâ series showrunner, and Sir Michael Parkinson returning from the dead (kinda...)!

It's a new week and time for episode 438 of the Geektown Radio podcast and Robert from Entertainment Talk joins Dave as co-host to chat TV, film and games news & reviews!
It was a holiday this week in the USA, which means Robert returns to the show and has his usual eclectic mix of TV and games to chat about. He is currently on something of a cooking show binge and highlights one particular series, 'Crime Scene Kitchen', hosted by Joel McHale. We also discuss the mass of sports on US TV at the moment, particularly the state of the WMBA following the departure of star player Caitlin Clark. On the gaming front, he chats about the 'Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster'. Meanwhile, Dave has been catching a slew of season finales, including Apple's 'Bad Monkey' and 'Slow Horses', Season 2 of Prime Video's 'Rings Of Power', along with Season 1 of 'Ludwig'. He also reviews new shows 'Disclaimer' on Apple TV, Sky's 'Sweetpea', and the return of 'Outer Banks' to Netflix.
Onto the news updates, and we bring you all of last week's cancellations and renewals, including more series "cancelled by Netflix" (trademark pending) and why that is becoming such a problem for them in the eyes of consumers. On the flipside, they also renewed a couple of big hitters as well. We also get some updates on some WB projects such as the return of 'Ted Lasso', and another 'Big Bang Theory' spin-off, plus a reboot of âScrubsâ, a follow-up (rather than a remake) to 'The Office', and casting for HBO's 'Lanterns'!

Welcome back to a new Geektown Behind The Scenes podcast. This week Iâm chatting with Sharlene Royer, the Assistant Stunt Coordinator for utterly brilliant âShogunâ, which recently won a record-breaking 18 Emmys - including a very well-deserved one for Outstanding Stunt Performance!
Based on James Clavellâs novel, FXâs 'ShĆgun' is set in Japan in the year 1600 at the dawn of a century-defining civil war. Lord Yoshii Toranaga is fighting for his life as his enemies on the Council of Regents unite against him, when a mysterious European ship is found marooned in a nearby fishing village...
It is an outstanding drama, available on Hulu in the USA, and on Disney+ in the UK and other territories. It's well worth watching and catching up if you haven't seen it yet, as it appears it will be returning for two more seasons following its record-breaking Emmy win.
Born and raised in Quebec to a Haitian mother and French Canadian father, Sharlene was a dancer from the ages of 7 to 18, before moving into modelling and acting. However, following a meeting with legendary Stunt Coordinator, Alan Oliney, she was encouraged to try stunt work, and found her calling. She soon became a very sought-after stunt performer being requested to double stars such as Halle Berry, Rosario Dawson, Vanessa Williams and many more.
On 'ShĆgun', Sharlene discusses her work on the epic drama as Assistant Stunt Coordinator, working alongside her boss (and life-partner) Lauro David Chartrand-Del Valle, developing the hugely complex Emmy-winning âcannonâ scene, melding VFX, physical effects and stunts for the âearthquakeâ, plus location scouting, stunt coordinating in the pandemic and lots more.
If that wasnât enough, Sharlene was also Assistant Stunt Coordinator on season one of the hit CBS drama âTrackerâ, for which she became the first Black, Female Stunt Coordinator to win a Leo Award from The Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Foundation of British Columbia. She talks about working with lead actor Justin Hartley (and his photographic memory), and also working with Justin alongside guest star Jenson Ackles... who sound like they were as much fun together as you'd expect!
Still want more? She also worked on the wonderfully fun DC superhero drama âLegends of Tomorrowâ, performing the stunt work for Hawkgirl, so we touch on that in the interview too! Sharlene's other projects include things such as 'The Man In The High Castle', 'Never Let Go', 'X-Men: Days of Future Past', 'Siren', 'See', 'The 100', 'The Rookie', and lots more!

We're back with episode 437 of the Geektown Radio podcast and Matt from Entertainment Talk joins Dave as co-host to chat TV, film and games news & reviews!
This week, Matt discusses finishing the first season of 'Yellowjackets' which he has been catching up with on Paramount+, and we also chat about the trailer for 'The Last Of Us' Season 2 which was recently released. Meanwhile, Dave brings reviews of 'The Ark' Season 2 which has now begun airing on Sku Sci-fi, 'The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon' Season 2 (aka 'The Book Of Carol'), which began airing on Sky Max, and 'CSI: Vegas' which returned for its final season on Alibi. They also discuss 'Deadpool & Wolverine' which Dave has finally seen now it is out on home release, and ponder where the "merc with a mouth" may show up next...
Onto the news updates, and we bring you all of last week's cancellations and renewals, including another show cancelled by Netflix (they really should have that trademarked), Apple renewing Colin Farrell's bonkers PI series, and a last ride with 'Billy The Kid'. We also have a stack of premiere dates for upcoming shows, a new gig for a beloved 'Criminal Minds' cast member, a âReacherâ spin-off, and a (possibly ill-advised...) attempt to make a UK version of a beloved classic US sitcom!

Welcome to a new Geektown Behind The Scenes podcast. This week Iâm chatting with Laurent Spillemaecker, VFX Supervisor for VFX company FOLKS about their work on the fourth and final season of the Netflix hit show âThe Umbrella Academyâ.
The final season sees our dysfunctional family of heroes, consisting of Luther (Tom Hopper), Allison (Emmy Raver-Lampman), Klaus (Robert Sheehan), Diego (David Castañeda), Viktor (Elliot Page) and Number Five (Aidan Gallagher), trying to avert yet another apocalypse. Warning, there are SPOILERS below, and in the interview itself, so if you havenât seen the final season yet, go and watch!..
Still here?
Okay, so if you remember the end of Season 3, the gang were left in a new reality, but also powerless. Whilst they do find a way to get their powers back, they also discover, they are the problem⊠After various, very "Umbrella Academy" type things happen, Ben, and his new girlfriend Jen, end up merging into a giant blob monster which threatens to destroy the Earth⊠And thatâs where Laurent and his team at FOLKS come in...
FOLKS have been involved with 'The Umbrella Academy' since season one, but for the final season, the team received its most significant mandate yet. They were responsible for conceptual pre-production work to establish the creatures' identities, post-viz, final elaboration of complex shots, and creation of character and environment assets, animation, simulation, and compositing.
Along with creating the monstrous version of Ben and Jen, they also enhanced the environment for a Christmas-themed sequence, adding crowd characters, vendors, snow, and more. Plus they picked up some other shots, such as Fiveâs âblinkingâ, some of the laser eyes FX, and other superpowers and background work.
Outside of âThe Umbrella Academyâ Laurent has previously worked on a huge range of projects including Sin City, 300, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, Blade Runner 2049, Thor: Ragnarok, Star Wars: The Last Jedi and lots more.

We return with episode 435 of the Geektown Radio podcast our "film reviewer" Gray joins Dave as co-host to chat TV, film and gaming news & reviews!
Gray, once again, lives up to his reputation as "worst film reviewer" by not reviewing any films (although, I'll let him off this one as it's the start of term for his other job as a teacher!) However, he does bring a string of TV show reviews including the second season of BBC's 'Sherwood' and the fourth season of ITV's 'Grace'. He also chats about 'Celebrity Race Across the World', 'Taskmaster', and the Apple TV shows 'Bad Monkey', 'Time Bandits' and 'Slow Horses'.

We are back with episode 434 of the Geektown Radio podcast and Matt from Entertainment Talk joins Dave as co-host to chat TV, film and games news & reviews!
It's been a few weeks since Matt has been on the show, but we begin with a discussion about some massive changes in a (nearly) 30-year-old British institution... 'Hollyoaks'... (and yes, it is that old!) While Dave hasn't watched for years, Matt brings some news of the utter craziness going on with that soap, including a huge time-jump and the axing of over 20 characters. Outside of UK soaps drama, he also reviews the Paramount+ series 'Yellowjackets', and Netflix animated series 'The Dragon Prince'. Meanwhile, Dave has been spending hours (...and hours) building factories in the utterly brilliant 'Satisfactory', which released into 1.0 this week.

We return with episode 432 of the Geektown Radio podcast and Robert from Entertainment Talk joins Dave as guest co-host to chat TV, film and games news & reviews!
As Robert co-hosts Gaming Talk over on Entertainment Talk, chat this week is a little more gaming heavy, but given there has been a big game release with 'Star Wars Outlaws', that's no bad thing! Dave has been playing through it so gives us a review, whilst they also discuss the state of AAA game releases at the moment, and how Outlaws managed to launch with (comparatively...) few issues. Robert also chats about zombie game '7 Days To Die', and a game which is possibly the complete opposite of that! Meanwhile, Dave has been catching up on some recent TV with the return this week of both 'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' for Season 2 and 'Only Murders In The Building' for Season 4.

Welcome to a new Geektown Behind The Scenes podcast. This week Iâm chatting with Jina An & Shirley Song, the composers behind Netflix's brilliant adult animated series âExploding Kittensâ.
If you havenât yet caught âExploding Kittensâ, the series is inspired by the beloved card game from Matthew Inman of The Oatmeal webcomic, Elan Lee, and Shane Small. After a meeting in heaven, there is a general consensus that Earth sucks, so God (voiced by the wonderful Tom Ellis from âLuciferâ) gets fired and sent to Earth to reconnect with humanity. The catch? Heâs trapped in the body of a chubby house cat. As part of Godcatâs rehabilitation, he moves in with a dysfunctional family and tries to solve their problems, but ends up spending a lot of time chasing laser pointers. And to top it off, Godcatâs next-door neighbour, who is also a cat, turns out to be none other than his nemesis, the Antichrist. It is brilliant, hilariously funny, and Season 1 is all on Netflix right now!
Jina and Shirley have been composing together pretty much since college, and were tasked with creating a soundtrack that captures the show's explosive energy. This also involved them touching on a huge array of musical genres like 8-bit nostalgia, energetic Cajun flair, heavy metal rock, and both choral and orchestral scores to bring the madcap adventures and quirky characters to life.
Outside of âExploding Kittensâ, the duo are also known for working on the beloved Netflix series âXO, Kittyâ, and have a number of other projects coming up which we talk about in the interview.

He's been working his way through 'Solar Opposites' and has just reached the infamous "voice change", so we discuss that. He's also catching up on the beloved 'Archer', as he's a few seasons behind. Meanwhile, Dave has been looking at some newer series, and reviews Apple show 'Bad Monkey', and 'The Walking Dead: Dead City' which just landed on Sky in the UK. He also discusses the 3rd and final season of 'Vikings Valhalla', and reviews the film 'Inside Out 2', which just came out on home release.
Moving over to the news updates, we bring you all the last week's cancellations and renewals, including Netflix actually renewing something before the first season has even aired, and Disney cancelling a Star Wars series. We also discuss a possible return of 'Scrubs', Mike Schur and Ted Danson reuniting for a new Netflix comedy, James Spader returning to the MCU, and lots more! Listen below!

Welcome to a new Geektown Behind The Scenes podcast. This week Iâm chatting with Krista Perry, the Stunt Coordinator for Season 3 of âReservation Dogsâ.
âReservation Dogsâ, which is available on Disney+ in the UK and on FX on Hulu in the USA, follows four Indigenous teenagers in rural Oklahoma who steal, rob, and save in order to get to the exotic, mysterious, and faraway land of California.
Krista Perry is a native Californian, who grew up travelling the country at the age of eight for competitive swimming. Finishing out her career as an All American Swimmer in the state of California. There's nothing in the water she has not mastered or attempted. However, she had a rather interesting route into film, which we cover in the interview.
The stunt work on the series involved working with the actors so they can confidently execute their stunts, coordinating challenging horse stunts while maintaining set safety, and even locating and casting a horse-riding conquistador!
Outside of âReservation Dogsâ, Krista has worked on shows and films such as âKillers of the Flower Moonâ, âDark Windsâ, âRoswell, New Mexicoâ, âBlue Bloodsâ, âThe Right Stuffâ, âFancy Danceâ, and âA Creature Was Stirringâ.

Hello, and welcome to a new Geektown Behind The Scenes podcast. This week Iâm chatting with Ramsey Avery, the Production Designer behind Disney & Huluâs sci-fi horror film âNo One Will Save Youâ.
Written and directed by Brian Duffield, âNo One Will Save Youâ 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 Ramseyâs 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.
Itâs a fantastic little film, and if youâre in the UK you can watch it right now on Disney+, or in the USA you can find it on Hulu.
In the interview, we not only discuss Ramseyâs work on âNo One Will Save Youâ, but also his impressive back catalogue of projects including âThe Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Powerâ, âMinority Reportâ, âStar Trek Into Darknessâ, and âTeam America: World Policeâ. Heâs also worked on âGuardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2â, âSpider-Man: Homecomingâ and the upcoming âCaptain America: Brave New Worldâ. Plus, he has designed various theme park attractions, including the Avengers Campus at Disneyâs California Adventure.

We are back with another bumper episode 426 of the Geektown Radio podcast, and Dave is joined by host, comedian, podcaster and streamer, Rik Carranza, to chat TV, film, and video game news & reviews!
Rik is a stage host, stand-up comedian, podcaster, streamer, and all-around geek. He is also known for his hilarious stage shows 'Star Trek vs Star Wars' and 'Marvel vs DC' where guests fight for the honour of their favourite franchise, both of which are playing at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2024.
Rik brings us some interesting TV and film reviews, along with some retro game reviews, and (something we don't have on the show very often) a gadget review! 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 handheld gaming consoles, the Anbernic RG556. Meanwhile, I review "Rogue", the latest 'Doctor Who' episode, and the brilliant recently released game Galacticare, which is basically Two Point Hospital in space! We, of course, both discuss last week's big release, 'Star Wars: The Acolyte'.
Moving on to the news updates, we update you with all the latest cancellations and renewals, which saw The CW chop down another series, whilst we have âPeaky Blindersâ officially returning. In the news we discuss UKTV's (frankly, horrible) rebrand, Jensen Ackles landing a new show on Prime, Charlie Hunnam becoming a 'Criminal', and lots more! It is another packed show! Listen below!
