Three Geeky Dads

Tonight, we bring your the next episode in our Futuristic February series where we take a look at Terry Gilliam's 1984 film, Brazil. The film tells the story of Sam Lowry, an overworked technocrat in a futuristic society that is needlessly convoluted and inefficient. Sam dreams of a life where he can fly away from technology and overpowering bureaucracy, and spend eternity with the woman of his dreams. While trying to rectify the wrongful arrest of one Harry Buttle, Sam meets the woman from his dreams. However, the bureaucracy has labeled him as responsible for a rash of terrorist bombings, and Sam and Jill's lives are put in danger.

Zack Snyder is back with his latest movie made exclusively for NETFLIX. The story goes that, back in the day, ol' Zack wanted to play in Lucasfilm's sandbox but they said "No!" so, Zack picked up his action figures (characters with names like Bloodaxe and Nemesis), went home and said "I'm gonna make my own Star Wars but with hookers and blackjack!"

Ok, that's only sort of true but, nonetheless, we have Rebel Moon part one: A Child Of Fire, loosely based on Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai.  What did we all think? Tune in and find out! 

What a year this week has been!
We're now a full week into 2024...yes, a new year is, once again upon us and that means it's time for looking back at the year that was...the good, the bad and everything in-between!
We're dedicating our first episode of the new year to talk about what we liked and what we didn't like about what 2023 gave us the form of movies, streaming TV, comics, music and more!

We have a new holiday special! It's our own version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer! Written by our own Marc Macrina (Marc also performs the role of Donner and Jack-Nicholson-in-the box) and starring Derek R as Rudolph and Christopher Walken, Brien R as Santa and Yukon Cornelius, Tito R as Fireball and Corey Feldman (NOT starring Chris R, despite all of the references to the movie THE ROOM...go figure!) and, friend of the show, Dean "R" Calusdian as King Moonracer!

This week, as Christmas fast approaches, we bring you a new ESCAPE POD episode. Marc & Dean invite Brien to tag along as they take a look at some of their favorite Christmas horror movies!

Halloween and traditions go together like tricks and treats...what do we mean by that? Well, we Geeky Dads have a halloween tradition where we like to watch the movies of the Halloween franchise while commenting on them. So, join us in the screening room...listen along or, better yet, watch along with us as, this year, we take on Michael Myers again with Halloween IV: The Return Of Michael Myers!

To wrap up our month long look at Hammer films and "slashers", we thought it would be fun to look at a film that showcases what could be America's first slasher...the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow in Tim Burton's 1999 film, Sleepy Hollow, which in itself, is his love-letter to the Hammer films of old which Burton loved!

On this week's episode we reminisce about our recent trip to New York for NYCC 23 before we get into the meat of the episode...a look at the new Amazon Original Blumhouse production, Totally Killer...about the infamous "Sweet Sixteen Killer" returning 35 years after his first murder spree to claim another victim, but 17-year-old Jamie travels back in time to 1987, determined to stop the killer before he can even start.

Our HAMMER Halloween series continues as friend of the show and frequent guest, Dean Calusdian joins us to talk about Dracula: Prince of Darkness! The 1966 HAMMER Dracula sequel finds four British tourists who, despite the warnings of others, do not steer clear of Castle Dracula and soon find themselves the victims of the recently resurrected count!
