Geektown Radio Episode 414: FFVII Remake, Shogun, Dick Turpin, Last Airbender, TV News & UK Air Dates!

We are back with episode 414 of the Geektown Radio podcast! This week Matt From Entertainment Talk joins Dave to chat through the latest news in TV shows and films. This week, Matt has been more focused on gaming than TV, as his "games to play" pile has gotten a little high! Not helping matters is a seventh playthrough of his beloved 'Last Of Us 2', but with the new season of the TV show back in the news (which we also talk about), he discusses his thoughts on what bits might make the transition from the game to the show. He also brings with him a review of 'Final Fantasy VII Remake', and chats about 'Young Sheldon'. Meanwhile, Dave has been catching up on new shows. Following the chat last week with Darryl, he reviews the live-action 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' on Netflix, and the new Disney+ series 'Shogun' which landed last week. He also reviews the wonderfully silly 'Completely Made-Up Adventures Of Dick Turpin' on Apple TV+! Moving into the news updates, we've got all the latest recent renewals, cancellations, and pickups, including the return of 'Accused' to Paramount+ UK, the end of 'Alex Rider' on Freevee, and 'Miss Scarlet and The Duke' getting a name change. We also discuss Sky Witness picking up 'The Cleaning Lady', Netflix getting into the medical procedural business, and Apple tackling another huge sci-fi novel!

Geektown Radio: The Year TV Reorganised Itself (2025 Review)

This week, Geektown Radio does something a little different. Instead of our usual round-table discussion, Dave goes solo for a special end-of-year episode, looking back at what kind of year 2025 actually was for television, streaming, and the industry as a whole. This isn’t a “best of” list or a countdown. It’s a reflection on a year where shows moved platforms, franchises returned in strange new forms, cancellations came faster and colder than ever, and streaming finally stopped pretending the money was infinite. Along the way, we talk about: ITVX quietly becoming one of the most useful platforms of the yearThe annual US TV Bloodbath, and why it felt different in 2025How Netflix, Apple TV, Prime Video, and Hulu play by very different rulesWhy franchises don’t end anymore, they just come back wearing a hatWhat video game adaptations finally seem to be getting rightThe shows that proved TV can still be genuinely brilliant And why 2025 was the year the industry stopped expanding and started reorganising itselfWe also wrap up with a look ahead to 2026, a thank you to everyone who listens, reads, and supports Geektown, and a short message for anyone finding this time of year a little heavy. Plus, we tee up our Geekstorians Christmas special — The Hunt for the Star Wars Holiday Special, dropping this week. Geektown Radio will be taking a short break in January, but we’ll be back in February 2026. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/geektown. Hosted on Acast.

Geekstorians Episode 3: VHS vs The Gatekeepers

In the 1980s, a strange new box arrived in our living rooms — the VHS player. It was noisy, chunky, and occasionally tried to eat your favourite film… but it changed everything. In this episode, Dave rewinds through the story of how home video broke the monopoly of the movie studios, terrified censors, and accidentally created the first generation of fan-filmmakers. From Mary Whitehouse’s “Video Nasties” crusade to Kevin Smith maxing out his credit cards to make Clerks, this is the tale of how VHS gave ordinary people the power to choose what they watched — and in doing so, redefined geek culture itself. Listen for: • The forgotten role of a door-to-door video rental van • The panic that birthed Britain’s “Video Nasty” blacklist • How a New Jersey shop clerk became a cult-film icon • Why imperfection made VHS feel alive 🎙️ Written & Presented by Dave Elliott 🔗 More at Geektown.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

Geekstorians Episode 2: When Comics Grew Up

In Episode 2 of Geekstorians, Dave from Geektown explores how comic books made the leap from pulp entertainment to serious storytelling. The episode traces the long road from the restrictions of the Comics Code and the rise of underground comix to the British invasion of the 1980s and the landmark releases that changed everything. Along the way, it looks at the forces that shaped the medium, from political satire and counterculture to literary ambition and creative risk. The story leads up to the arrival of books like Watchmen, The Dark Knight Returns and Maus, and the legacy that followed in film, television and modern graphic fiction. A thoughtful, accessible deep dive into the moment comics truly grew up, told with the usual mix of research, atmosphere and Geektown warmth. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/geektown.
