Spider-Man is back on the big screen (and to the tune of a billion dollars)! Join me on a brand new Geekscape Special with Marvel Movie Talk host Christian Bladt as we break down everything we thought about 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day'. We'll discuss all of those, connections to the MCU, the comic book origins of some of the film's plots and characters, if this is the best of Tom Holland's Spider-Man movies, answer your live questions, and of course look forward to 'Avengers: Doomsday' (not to mention Disney+'s 'VisionQuest' this fall). When will we see Spidey next...

San Diego Comic Con is over! And it was a hard-fought battle! But we made it through with some help from our friends... and now you get to listen to all of it on a brand new SDCC 2026 Wrap Up episode! Longtime Geekscapist Ralph Apel drops by to give you his impression of DC's 'Lanterns'! Mega64's Derrick Acosta updates us on his new film 'Pinhole' as the Geekscape claw machine threatens to derail everything we've worked so hard for! Barb Klein takes us to the surprise Green Day appearance! Matt Kelly catches up with our very own Grammy-nominated...

San Diego Comic Con is upon us! Again! And just like Doctor Doom in the new 'Avengers: Doomsday' trailer, it will show NO MERCY! Every year, SDCC proves to be amazing, entertaining, and exhausting as we catch up with old friends, make new ones, share the Geekscape gospel, and try to celebrate our shared love of pop culture! But what panels, signings, pop-ups, and events are we looking forward to the most? Well, everything going on at Geekscape Booth #1632, obviously! But beyond that? I'm joined by Zak Shaffer of '2 Dollar Late Fee' and Geekscape regular Christina "The Wise...

DC and WB's 'Supergirl' has landed in theaters... and did Milly Alcock's version of the character arrive with a supersonic smack to audiences? Or was her punch softened by kryptonite poisoning? Did Jason Momoa's Lobo show up to give the story a boost? How much did the new film borrow from the beloved 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow' story from the comic book shelves? There is a LOT to talk about with this one, so luckily Ian Kerner joins me to push and pull on everything going on!

Geekscape returns to Eternia for a brand new jam-packed episode! Amazon's big-budget adaptation of the popular 80s action figure and cartoon 'Masters of the Universe' is in theaters, and you KNOW we've got to discuss all things He-Man! Luckily, we've got a group of expert geeks from the film's target audience to talk things over with me: Christian Bladt from the Geekscape Network, He-Man animated and comics writer Tim Sheridan, Geek Professor (and actual Professor) Thomas Parham, and a superhero himself in Cooper Barnes! Beyond He-Man, we'll probably touch on things like Spider-Man Noir, and everything else happening in...

This year's Comic Con Revolution was a BLAST! The Geekscape team were there in force (Speed Force?), and working around the clock to bring you the best panels from the convention! And now we're putting them on your podcast feed! First up: our cast reunion panel for CW's 'The Flash!

Geekscapists! Let's talk COMICS! Our good friends David Booher and Winston Gambro arrive on the podcast this week to talk about their current indie comic 'Malloch the Damned'! Along the way, David talks about some of the other books he writes (like Ghostbusters, Dungeons & Dragons, Canto, and more!), and Winston discusses working on a million projects at once (including Geekscape's own books)!

Geekscapists! We're back from Comic Con Revolution and ready to get back to regular Geekscape episodes... as we start on the road to San Diego Comic Con!

Geekscapists! The Disney+ Marvel Streets are rampant with crime and corruption... and only a beloved pair of infatigable heroes can save them! I'm obviously talking about myself and Ian Kerner, as we chop up and discuss both 'Daredevil: Born Again' Season 2 AND the 'Punisher: One Last Kill' special presentation in ONE action-packed, non-stop discussion that promises to blow the lid off of both Marvel offerings! What are the comic book inspirations for each? When in the Marvel timeline do they take place? Are there Favorite easter eggs that we caught? Did the Watcher really show up outside of Fogwell's...

Summer Movie Season is upon us with the release of this past weekend's 'Mortal Kombat II'! Does the addition of Johnny Cage, Katana, and more fighters improve on the 2021 film? Or is it more of the same? Our friend Ron Swallow joins me to smash, kick, and punch through what we thought! Also! This weekend, Geekscape is taking over Comic Con Revolution in Ontario, California, interviewing big names like the cast of 'Arrow', 'The Flash', 'Battlestar Galactica', Chris Claremont, Dan Jurgens, and more!

Along the way, we go on tangents like "how many times did John see Snyder's Justice League in theaters?" and more!

Video Gaming's most popular plumbers have returned to the big screen! Indeed, last weekend's Super Mario sequel, Mario Galaxy, opened to huge box office numbers.

Along the way, we'll talk 'Project Hail Mary', Josh being brainwashed by 'A Great Awakening', Tiny Chef at WonderCon, and look forward to what looks to be an insane Summer of pop culture conventions coming down the pipe!<...

Geekscapists! We can happily report that WonderCon 2026 was awesome! That's right! SoCal's early entry to the beginning of Con Season is always a fun backyard party to the Los Angeles film and comic industry, and this year is no different!

Musician Steve Coulter of the rock band Ridel High returns to Geekscape (maybe you know him as music writer S.W. Lauden)! If you're unfamiliar with Ridel High, they are one of the L.A. rock bands that landed a major label deal in the wake of Weezer's successful debut... and you may be unfamiliar with them because not all of those bands "made it". But I loved their one album in college and have had Steve on the show before to talk about that era in rock music. Now he returns with fellow bandmate Kevin Ridel to talk...

With little press and fanfare, Marvel's 'Wonder Man' landed on Disney+... resulting in almost unanimous praise from both fans and critics! Yahya Abdul-Mateen II stars as down-and-out actor Simon Williams, who develops a friendship with beleaguered actor Trevor Slattery, still struggling with a damaged career and reputation from playing the international terrorist 'The Mandarin'. Do both of their fortunes turn around when a new remake of the 70s superhero film 'Wonder Man' gets announced? And how do any of these events mirror the Wonder Man stories from the Marvel comics? Will the MCU Wonder Man ever join an Avengers...

Pasadena Comic Con is BACK and better than ever! After a tumultuous year spent dealing with the catastrophic Eaton Fires, Pasadena Comic Con returns to its regular calendar slot... and we return to Pasadena Comic Con!

Alejandro Montoya Marin's 'The Unexpecteds' is the kind of fast, fun, and hilarious indie gem that I love to spotlight on Geekscape! I went to the Los Angeles premiere of the film, not knowing what to expect, and immediately fell in love with the high-energy underdog story about a team of scammed and down-and-out cast-offs putting together a heist to get their money back! Starring Matt Walsh and executive produced by Kevin Smith, the film is now available on digital and is going to be an indie cult favorite. Join Geekscape as I talk with 'The Unexpecteds' filmmaker Alejandro...

Fan favorite writer Timothy Zahn is a Star Wars legend! As the author of the original Thrawn trilogy in the early 90s (and numerous subsequent Star Wars novels), Zahn helped keep the Star Wars flame lit during the franchise's post-Return of the Jedi slumber.

Flying in to save the day and deliver to us a brand new DC cinematic universe, it's 'Superman', the much-anticipated James Gunn reboot of the Man of Steel! And the film had a lot of lifting to do, with high expectations of the new cast, a brighter beginning to an upcoming and interconnected film and TV slate, and the hit and miss inconsistency of the Snyderverse fresh in our hearts.

Marvel's latest Disney+ series 'Ironheart' zoomed onto TV screens without much fanfare. But did that reflect a low level of confidence in the 6-episode series or an overcrowded media landscape? After spinning off from 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' and Marvel's Iron Man books, does the character have what it takes to stand on her own? Ian Kerner joins me to discuss all six episodes (so SPOILERS!), what they introduce to the MCU, where we'll see Riri Williams and her supporting cast again, and more! Also, we pay tribute to the late great Marvel EIC Jim Shooter.
