Filmmaker Kyle Kuchta first arrived on my radar as a co-host of Geekscape's own Horror Movie Night Podcast! But I quickly learned that Kyle wasn't just informed and opinionated about films... He was really good at making them! His most recent project, the horror short 'The Woodsman', was an award winning festival favorite. Now Kyle returns with his next project 'The Wound Within'. We talk about the inspiration, what led to his love of filmmaking and the current state of the film fest and convention circuit! We also discuss contingencies for taking out Matt Kelly if we ever had to!

Based on an amazing true story, 'Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game' was one of my favorite films from last year's festival circuit! In 1976, GQ writer Roger Sharpe, a self professed pinball fanatic, helped lift a 35-year ban on the game of pinball in the state of New York. Did you even know that pinball had been banned in major American cities? After seeing the film at the Santa Fe International Film Festival and falling in love with it I had to have Austin and Meredith on the show to talk about making it! Join us and I think you'll love them and the film as much as I do!

'Shazam! Fury of the Gods' has flown into theaters... but did it arrive with the fury of a lightning bolt or fizzle as one of the last remnants of the established DCEU? Well, we've got answers! Ian Kerner joins me to talk about the soaring highs and potential lows of Zach Levi's latest appearance as Billy Batson, the boy who can summon the powers of the gods! Does this really mark the end of the Shazam films? How does the sequel compare to the fun original? Is 'The Flash' really going to mark the end of these characters or did this film surprise us with some clues to the future? I'm pretty excited to talk to Ian about this one specifically so you're not going to want to miss it!

If you haven't heard of 'Stray Dogs', one of the best comic books of 2021 and 2022, then you haven't been paying attention! And you definitely haven't been listening to Geekscape... because I'm a huge fan of the book! Imagine a story like Homeward Bound mixed with Silence of the Lambs and told in a classic Disney animated style! It's fantastic! And now we have 'Stray Dogs' creator Tony Fleecs on the show to talk about collaborating with Trish Forstner and Geekscape friend Tone Rodriguez on the series as well as his incredible new book 'Local Man' that just hit shelves! I don't want to be telling you about it again next year so come learn all about it now on a new Geekscape!

He talks about how the story was originally not Science Fiction, the insanely quick rush into production, a fascinating technique for writing the dialogue, the stellar cast and crew, and how his involvement with the franchise fell apart during the sequel mini-series. Kenny also discusses what he's up to now and what he hopes is next for V.

The MCU starts Phase 5 off with 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania'! Scott Lang, Hope Van Dyne and the Pyms return to battle their biggest foe yet: Kang the Conquerer! So I join Geekscape's own multi-versal warlord Ian Kerner to talk about the film and compare it to the comics! What parts felt straight from the books and what parts were added to make things work on the big screen? Who is Kang and why is he really bad news for the rest of the Marvel universe? What might need to be phased out of this phase going forward? And where do these characters go from here? There's lots to talk about!
