Geekscape

The RKSS Film Collective, directors François Simard, Anouk Whissell and Yoann-Karl Whissell, first came on the scene a few years ago with their Mad Max meets comic books and VHS nosalgia celebration 'Turbo Kid'. Now, RKSS is back with the equaly nostalgic yet entirely different 'Summer Of '84', a serial killer next door suspence thriller that mixes 'The Goonies' with 'Rear Window'. RKSS sat down with me at San Diego Comic Con to talk about making 'Turbo Kid', playing with nostalgia and filmmaking. We also sprinkled in some pro wrestling, fantasy and horror talk if you're into that (and I'm guessing if you're here then you are)! Follow, Share and Donate to our Geekscape Seed & Spark Campaign!

This is it! The San Diego Comic Con 2018 Spectacular! But it comes with a heavy heart as we remember one of our own: our beloved Jon Schnepp, frequent Geekscape guest and dear friend. We start things off on a somber note with Jon's good friend Maddox, who shared a booth with Jon as our neighbor at SDCC's past. We reflect on Jon's influence on us and share a few Jon memories. Following up are Geekscape booth signees Don Nguyen and Andy Nordvall, discussing their Ink-tober inspired book 'Siren's Song'! We catch up with Dweeb Darling Heidi Cox to discuss the return of 'Stalking LeVar' and how you can help! The Heart of Geekscape himself Derek Kraneveldt shares some of his SDCC experiences with us and we make friends with Keith and Jen from the animated Twitch show 'Critically Awkward'! On top of all this, we meet pinball and rock and roll artist Dirty Donny and discuss the culture and history of pinball machines! All said, it's a very packed episode for a very packed week... and it's all dedicated to our late fr

There's a lot of controversy about 'Solo: A Star Wars Story', Disney's latest entry in the rapidly expanding Star Wars cinematic universe! From the box office to the story to the actors, nobody quite seems to be in agreement about film... but everyone is talking about it! And that includes Ian Kerner and I as we sit down to discuss pretty much every aspect of the film! Does it work? Was it necessary? What did we like? What worries us going forward? What was up with that surprise cameo? Where does this leave the announced James Mangold 'Boba Fett' movie? Is the Box Office indicative of the movie's quality? Was Lando given his due?

'Henry Danger' star Cooper Barnes is a longtime Geekscapist and one of the only superheros that we can also call our friend (most are our enemies)! Before he suits up for a fifth season as Captain Man, Cooper drops by Geekscape to talk about whether or not this will be the show's final season, how Nickelodeon broke it to him that Captain Man's name won't be in the title of the Henry Danger cartoon spin off and talk to us about Gremlins. Actually, about 80% of this episode is Cooper and I talking about Gremlins and working through the plotline of our proposed 'Gremlins 3' movie. And of course we talk some 'Infinity War' and a couple of other things. But yeah, it's almost entirely Gremlins. Have fun. Subscribe to Geekscape on iTunes! Follow Jonathan on Twitter and Instagram!

I've gotta admit that I was pretty nervous sitting down withs Dean Devlin, writer and producer of tentpole films like 'Independence Day', 'Stargate' and 'Godzilla' and producer of TNT hits like 'Leverage' and 'The Librarians'. But I think things smoothed out pretty quickly as we started talking about Dean's new directorial effort 'Bad Samaritan', starring Robert Sheehan and David Tennant. The film is out this week and Dean is quick to talk about the film being a completely independent production and about his long history with (and without) the Hollywood studios. Among some of the highlights are his opinion of modern film criticism, whether or not last year's 'Geostorm' was a mistake and his relationship with filmmaker Roland Emmerich. Also, what are the things that attracted him most to putting 'Bad Samaritan' together the way he wanted! There's a lot to digest here, Geekscapists, so enjoy! Subscribe to Geekscape on iTunes!

And how does this book tie into Dan's earlier graphic novel anthology 'Moon Lake' and the ideas he's got spinning in his head for more stories? Dan discusses his fascination with conspiracy stories and then takes the time to answer your fan submitted questions! And obviously, we geek out and talk about a lot, lot more! Enjoy!

James Lafferty and Stephen Colletti are probably best know as actors from the hit WB/CW show 'One Tree Hill'... but that was years ago.
