    War Machine, Peaky Blinders Film, SNL UK & Spider-Man: Brand New Day | Geektown Radio Episode 490

    Dave is joined by Darryl for Geektown Radio Episode 490, and this week’s show is led by reviews of War Machine, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, and the launch of Saturday Night Live UK, alongside a big chat about the new Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer. On the review side, Darryl covers 96 Minutes, War Machine, Furies and Cross Season 2, while Dave dives into Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, Saturday Night Live UK and Invincible Season 4. So there’s everything from military action and crime thrillers to sketch comedy, superheroes and Tommy Shelby stomping back into view. The news section is packed too, with discussion around Spider-Man: Brand New Day and what the trailer reveals about Tom Holland’s next outing as Peter Parker, including Punisher, Scorpion, Bruce Banner, and a more isolated, comic-book-style version of Spidey than we’ve seen before. There’s also an update on the Firefly animated series, which is set between the original show and Serenity, meaning it lands in the very specific and very welcome “Wash is still alive” period of the timeline. Plus there’s chat about HBO Max launching in the UK, Netflix’s live-action Assassin’s Creed series being set in Ancient Rome, Sky’s newly acquired slate, and the latest renewals, cancellations and endings. They also look ahead to the next week on TV, including Bait, Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, The Pitt, For All Mankind Season 5, Beyond Paradise Season 4, Harley Quinn Season 5 and more. Listen now for TV reviews, film chat, superhero news, streaming updates and the usual Geektown mix of enthusiasm, side tangents and entertainment industry chaos.

    BAFTAs 2026, Eric Dane Tribute, Talamasca, Cross Season 2 & Line of Duty Series 7 | Geektown Radio 486

    Dave is joined this week by Darryl from Hollywood North News for a packed episode covering the February BAFTAs, a tribute to the late Eric Dane, fresh show impressions, a report from the London Anime & Gaming Con, and a full run of UK and US TV news. Darryl brings early thoughts on Talamasca: The Secret Order, the new Netflix entry in the Anne Rice universe, and whether it works if you haven't seen the other shows. He's also been into Cross Season 2 on Prime Video and reports back on whether it lives up to the first. There are impressions from The Night Agent Season 3, and some thoughts on Ryan Murphy's The Beauty that may save you some time. Dave breaks down the February BAFTAs in full, including the biggest upset of the night in Best Leading Actor, why Marty Supreme's 0-from-11 night made history for the wrong reasons, and the moment involving Tourette's campaigner John Davidson that dominated post-show coverage — and why the BBC's handling of it was the real story. There's also a heartfelt tribute to Eric Dane, who passed away on 19th February 2026 at the age of 54 following his battle with ALS. Netflix has released his episode of Famous Last Words, and it's well worth your time. On the TV news front: UK cancellations, renewals including Can You Keep a Secret? and The Floor, an ABC renewal status update, Peter Krause eyeing a new NBC pilot, first-look photos for S.W.A.T. Exiles, Robert Carlyle joining Line of Duty Series 7, and the first original cast member confirmed for the Fox Baywatch reboot.

    Geekstorians Episode 10: The Secret Language of Geekdom - How Fans Built Modern Geek Culture

    Language doesn’t just describe culture. Sometimes, it creates it. In the Season One finale of Geekstorians, Dave explores the hidden history of geek language — how fans invented their own slang, references, in-jokes, and shorthand, and how that language quietly shaped modern geek culture and the internet itself. From handwritten letters in the back pages of early science-fiction magazines, to fanzines, conventions, badges, and costumes… from Monty Python quotes and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, to arcade slang, tabletop role-playing games, online gaming, text-message shorthand, memes, and chat rooms. This episode traces how fandom learned to communicate long before social media existed. Along the way, we explore how shared language helped fandom survive moral panics, cancelled shows, shifting technology, and changing formats, not through manifestos or rules, but through jokes, references, and community shorthand. Geek culture didn’t just grow around stories. It grew around conversations. This episode marks the end of Season One of Geekstorians. All ten episodes, plus the Christmas special, are now available. If you’ve enjoyed the series, please consider rating, reviewing, or subscribing. It really helps the show find new listeners.

    Geekstorians Episode 9: The Plastic Empire

    Toys were never just toys. In this episode of Geekstorians, Dave traces the rise of the Plastic Empire — the moment when action figures, model kits, bricks, and collectibles stopped being side products and started becoming entire universes. From the Star Wars Early Bird box that accidentally rewrote the rules of merchandising, to the 1980s cartoon-toy industrial complex, moral panics, and the birth of gender-segmented aisles, this is the story of how plastic shaped imagination, identity, and fandom itself. Along the way, we explore LEGO’s uneasy relationship with licensed worlds, Gunpla’s transformation of fandom into craftsmanship, Warhammer’s hobbyist ecosystems, the rise of collector culture and shrine shelves, the collapse of toy superstores like Toys “R” Us, and how blind bags, loot-box logic, and digital skins quietly gamified collecting. Finally, we look at the strangest evolution yet — a future where fans no longer wait for companies to make their toys at all, but design and print their own. Because the Plastic Empire didn’t disappear. It decentralised. If you enjoyed this episode, make sure you’re subscribed or following Geekstorians wherever you listen, so you don’t miss future deep dives into the hidden history of geek culture.
