I'm just going to say it off the top: Jake Busey is really, really awesome. We welcome Jake onto Geekscape to talk about his new action comedy horror rock film 'Dead Ant' and talk a lot about classics like 'The Frighteners' and 'Starship Troopers' along the way. We also discuss growing up in a music family with his father Gary and his friends and Jake's only early career as a musician and how growing up changed all that. Jake gives us some hints about his role in the new Predator film and gives a touching remembrance to both Bill Paxton and Tom Petty. Really, I found Jake to be a very smart, kinda and well spoken guy and loved having him on the show! Enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
