    FilmGeeks EP024 - Wonder Man Wins Us Over & Send Help Turns Sinister

    In this episode of Film Geeks, we dive into two surprise standouts that caught us completely off guard. First, we break down Marvel’s Wonder Man, starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Ben Kingsley—why it works, why it feels refreshingly human, and how it delivers some of Marvel’s most relatable character development in years. From anxiety and ambition to friendship and purpose, this series hits deeper than expected. Then we get into Send Help, a Sam Raimi–directed survival thriller that starts light and spirals fast. What looks like a rom-com stranded-on-an-island setup quickly turns into psychological horror, manipulation, and power flips that left us stunned. We also wrap with a fun debate on classic coming-of-age comedies, reflect on iconic performances, and talk about what makes stories truly rewatchable.

    FilmGeeks EP023 – Primate, The Rip & His & Hers: Netflix’s Wildest January Yet

    From chimps gone wild to corrupt Miami cops, this week’s episode dives deep into Primate, and two of Netflix’s most talked-about January releases: The Rip and His & Hers. We’re breaking down the absurdity of Primate, unpacking the “Netflix good” mediocrity of The Rip, and going all-in on the jaw-dropping, twist-filled brilliance of His & Hers—a limited series that had us guessing until the final scene (and yes, our we got humbled). Plus: thoughts on originality in 2026, underrated performances, and the truth about what's really "rewatchable" on Netflix. Follow us @FilmGeeks83_Podcast.

    FilmGeeks Ep. 21 – Aliens, Eddie, and Unhinged Plot Twists: The Best of 2025 So Far

    Film Geeks is back with a jam-packed episode reviewing four of the wildest, weirdest, and most surprising watches of 2025. We kick things off with a dissection of Wicked Part 2, why it missed the mark, and how breaking the story into two films impacted the experience. Then we jump into a double take on The Running Man—comparing the 1987 Arnold classic to the 2025 adaptation and the original Stephen King novel. Spoiler: they’re almost completely different stories. Next, we get emotional and nostalgic over the Eddie Murphy documentary, reflecting on his legendary impact on stand-up, film, and culture—and whether he still has one last stand-up set left in him. Finally, we lose our minds over Bugonia—a sci-fi thriller that plays like Donnie Darko meets Get Out—with a twist ending that had us staring at the screen in shock. Alien lore, unreliable narration, and Emma Stone’s best performance since Poor Things. Plus: hot takes on true crime series All Her Fault, stand-up GOAT debates, and our excitement for Stranger Things final episodes.

    FilmGeeks EP20 – Sinners, Symbolism & Storytelling: Kory Todd Breaks It All Down

    In this Final Friendsgiving Friday guest spotlight, we welcome Kory Todd—veteran, film lover, and student of cinema—to take us deep into the layers of Sinners, one of the most compelling films of 2025. Kory unpacks the historical symbolism behind the vampire metaphor, shares research from his ethnic studies class, and shows how Ryan Coogler fused horror, spirituality, and Black American history into a film that gets better with every rewatch. We cover everything from convict leasing to biblical allusions, improv scenes that became iconic, and how Sinners might just be this generation’s Get Out. Whether you’re here for the Coogler praise, Chris Nolan comparisons, or Michael B. Jordan’s dual performance—this episode brings the heat.

    FilmGeeks EP19 – Gen V, Blood Powers & The Real Supervillains (Hint: They're Not Who You Think)

    In this Friendsgiving Friday spotlight, comic book expert and DC-Marvel-Gen V guru Thomas (aka Mr. MacLeod) joins the Film Geeks crew for a deep dive into Gen V Season 2 and the evolving world of The Boys universe. We explore how power is inherited, manipulated, and sometimes misused—especially when blood becomes a weapon. From Marie’s true strength to Homelander’s crumbling facade, this episode asks the real question: who’s the villain when everyone’s a hero in their own mind? We also tap into the underrated brilliance of DC’s animated films, how comic lore compares to live action, and why Batman might still be the GOAT—even in a world full of Homelander clones. If you're into superhero theory, comic canon debates, or just love a good power-swap storyline—this one's for you.

We dive into the importance of original storytelling in horror, celebrate cult classics like Tropic Thunder, and reveal which movies made us rethink the entire genre. If you love true crime, classic comedy, or just want to hear passionate film fans debate originality vs repetition—this episode is for you.
