Geektown Radio - TV News, Interviews & UK TV Air Dates Geektown

Following a little break last week due to MCM Comic-Con, we are back with a bumper, jam-packed episode 425 of the Geektown Radio podcast, and Dave is joined by film critic, multi-award-winning director, and podcaster, Matthew Stogdon, to chat TV, film, and video game news & reviews!
Matthew has been a film critic since 2004, writing for various sites and magazines, along with his own site, TheRedRightHand.co.uk. He's also been a multi-award-winning filmmaker since 2009 via his company, Cheesemint Productions, and a podcaster since 2017 with his show, Sequelisers. He describes himself as "a big old nerd who has a strong love for pop culture but an unmatchable passion for film."
Despite his very busy schedule, Matthew has not only managed to fit in some time for our show, but also review some film, tv and games for us! He gives his thoughts on the movies 'Furiosa', 'The Garfield Movie', and 'Dune: Part 2', along with TV shows 'Bodkin' (Netflix), anime 'Brave Bang Bravern' (Crunchyroll), and Apple TV's 'Masters Of The Air'. On the gaming side he reviews 'Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater', 'Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth', and 'Tekken 8', but also has... thoughts... on the pricing for 'Assassin's Creed Shadows'... Meanwhile, Dave has been catching up on 'The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live', which has finally been released in the UK by Sky, and the latest episodes of 'Doctor Who'. He also has been searching Steam's wallet-draining "Open World Survival Crafting Sale", picking up 'Survival: Fountain Of Youth', 'Robin Hood: Sherwood Builders', 'Nightingale', and 'Enshrouded', along with playing through 'Galacticare', and 'Star Trek: Resurgence'.
Moving on to the news updates, we have all the latest cancellations and renewals, which bad news for Melissa Benoist and Jared Padalecki, but good news for fans of ‘Hacks’. We also discuss Holly Hunter joining Starfleet, casting for the new 'Dexter' prequel, Nicholas Galitzine hitting the gym for a ‘Masters of the Universe’ film, and Guy Ritchie heading back to 'Sherlock Holmes' (albeit a younger version!) We did say it was a packed show! Listen below!

This week we have an exciting episode 424 of the Geektown Radio podcast, as Dave is joined by a brand new guest co-host, the wonderfully entertaining Twitch Streamer CLONEKORP, to chat TV, film, and video game news & reviews!
This is the first time CloneKorp has been on the show, so we not only discuss his work with Twitch, messing about in VR, and creating classic game shows on YouTube, but he also brings along a few interesting reviews! He discusses how he got into running a guild on 'Destiny 2', his love of the 'Starship Troopers' franchise, and a rather obscure Ben Stiller/Jack Black movie called 'Envy'. Meanwhile, Dave has reviews of 'Orphan Black: Echoes' (out now on ITVX in the UK), Steven Moffat making 'Doctor Who' go "Boom", the finale of Apple series 'Sugar' with Colin Farrell, along with some quick game reviews of 'Medieval Dynasty', 'Foundry', 'Kingdom Come: Deliverance' and 'Dyson Sphere Program'.
Moving on to the news updates, we have all the latest cancellations and renewals, which includes The CW rejecting 'FBoys', the (possible) end of 'The Outlaws', the return of Netflix's ‘3 Body Problem’, and ‘The Boys' are back in town. We also have news from Disney+ that it was ‘Agatha All Along‘, Phoebe Waller-Bridge coming to 'Tomb Raider', Nicolas Cage getting into a spidey suit, and 'Red Dwarf' returning to screen!

Welcome to a new Geektown Behind The Scenes podcast. This week I’m chatting with Anna Fishko, creator and showrunner of ‘Orphan Black: Echoes’, the highly anticipated follow-up to the brilliant sci-fi ‘Orphan Black’, which has just landed in the UK on ITVX.
The series stars Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones, Breaking Bad) as Lucy, who woke up two years ago in a strange room with no memory of who she is or where she came from and she’s been running ever since. That is, until her past finally catches up with her and she’s faced with the reality that she was created in a lab, and those who had a hand in making her want her dead…
There's a stellar cast that includes Keeley Hawes (The Bodyguard, The Durrells, Line of Duty), Avan Jogia (Zombieland), James Hiroyuki Liao (Barry), Rya Kihlstedt (Superman & Lois) and Amanda Fix (High School).
Prior to developing Anna worked as writer and producer on Netflix’s brilliant drama ‘Pieces of Her’, along with their YA drama ‘The Society’, AMC’s ‘Fear the Walking Dead’, and many other series. This was her first time stepping into the role of creator and showrunner.
All five season of the original ‘Orphan Black’, and the 10-episode first season of ‘Orphan Black: Echoes’ are available right now on ITVX in the UK, and ‘Orphan Black: Echoes’ also comes to AMC+ in the USA on June 23.

We are back with a packed episode 423 of the Geektown Radio podcast, and Matt from Entertainment Talk joins Dave to chat TV, film, and video game news & reviews!
Once again, Matt has brought with him a review of something we don't usually cover on Geektown... Reality TV! This time he has been watching the BBC Three series 'I Kissed A Girl', so gives us his impressions of that. He also discusses catching up with 'X-Men '97', 'Invincible', and (of course) 'Welcome To Wrexham'. Meanwhile, Dave brings two video game reviews - the open-world RPG 'Kingdom Come: Deliverance' and the new factory builder 'Foundry'. He also reviews the new Apple TV+ series 'Dark Matter', and they both discuss the return of 'Doctor Who', now funded by "Disney Dollars."
Moving on to the news updates, as we head into "Upfronts" week in the USA, we round up all the renewals and cancellations from the major US networks, along with what shows are still left in the balance. We also talk about a new comicbook adaptation picked up by Syfy, a potential 2nd Season for ‘Shogun’, Netflix's wonderfully bonker ‘Exploding Kittens‘, and the final season of ‘Snowpiercer‘ looking like it might actually pull into the station earlier than expected! Listen below!

We have a packed episode 422 of the Geektown Radio podcast, as our "film reviewer" Gray joins Dave to chat TV, film, and video game news & reviews!
Gray is back, and retaining his title as "worlds worse film reviewer", as he, of course, has not watched a single movie... However, he does come armed with a selection of TV reviews, including Romesh Ranganathan's 'Avoidance', Diane Morgan's 'Mandy', BBC's 'Race Across the World', and Netflix's 'Baby Reindeer'. He also discusses 'Interior Design Masters', 'X-Men '97', 'Beyond Paradise', and ITV's 'Red Eye'. Meanwhile, Dave has been on a Disney+ binge, with reviews of 'Welcome to Wrexham' Season 3, 'Star Wars: Tales Of The Empire', and 'Shardlake'. They also discuss the surprisingly heartbreaking 'Clarkson’s Farm' Season 3, and the utterly bonkers WTF moment in the sixth episode of Apple TV+ crime thriller 'Sugar' starring Colin Farrell (no spoilers!)
Moving on to the news, we're hurtling towards the final days of the 2024 "TV Bloodbath", so we run through what US TV shows are still left undecided, along with a number of UK cancellations and renewals. We also talk through what is going on with the potential sale of US media giant Paramount Global, CBS's ‘Fire Country’ getting a spin-off, a new live-action ‘Scooby-Doo’, and lots more! Listen below!

We return with episode 421 of the Geektown Radio podcast, and Matt from Entertainment Talk joins Dave to chat TV, film, and video game news & reviews!
This week we discuss something we don't often cover here at Geektown - soaps! Specifically, some huge changes coming to one soap in particular, 'Hollyoaks'. Matt has been a longtime watcher of the soap, and they recently announced some major cost-cutting at Channel 4, which will see schedule changes and a big reduction in the cast. We discuss its impact, and why soaps are actual quite important to the UK TV landscape. Meanwhile, I have a string of reviews, including the new video game 'Manor Lords' which hit early access this week, a preview of 'Clarkson's Farm' Season 3, and reviews of Netflix's 'Dead Boy Detectives' and ITVX drama 'Red Eye'.
Moving on to the news updates, we've got all the latest recent renewals, cancellations, and pickups, including a shocking cancellation from CBS... We also discuss returning to the world of ‘Orphan Black‘, how the casting director of a new Paramount+ series loves 'EastEnders', and Alibi bringing in a new drama in both English and Welsh!
