Fictionary by Ben O’Brien
On this week's After Show (ep94) we talked about the new play called 'Fictionary' by our friend Ben O'Brien. Considering that the After Show goes online the same day that the play opens I felt we had better post up the details now. We want the play to do well because two of our friends and guests, Ben O'Brien and Celine Roberts, are both involved in the show.

Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Hosted by: David McVay, Josh Philpott & Shane Gregory
Welcome to the Geek Actually After Show. This un-stuctured and un-planned podcast is what what you get after we finish recording the two main shows Tech Actually and Film Actually. We basically just leave the mics on and record whatever we feel like talking about. This show gives us a chance to talk about anything that didn’t fit into the format of the main shows.
This week we discuss the New York Post’s film critic Armond White, take a look at a couple of trailers that we ran out of time for in Film Actually and discuss the Greater Union cinema’s lack of choc top ice creams.
Some Links of things we discussed:
Straight from Comic-Con San Diego, here are The Avengers and Joss Whedon as (now officially) the director. The stars of ‘The Avengers’ are Robert Downey Jr. (Tony Stark/Iron Man), Scarlett Johansson (Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow), Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Chris Evans (Steve Rogers/Captain America), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Mark Ruffalo (now officially Bruce Banner/The Hulk), Jeremy Renner (Clint Barton/Hawkeye), Clark Gregg (Agent Phil Coulson) and not mentioned in this video but listed on IMDB is Don Cheadle (James Rhodes/War Machine) and as a villain Tom Hiddleston (Loki).
I am so looking forward to this film for four reasons:

Trailer: Let Me In (trailer #2)
Okay, we showed the first trailer to this remake of ‘Let the Right One In’ on the show a few weeks ago and we were not very impressed. However, the second trailer for ‘Let Me In’ at least shows a little more originality and is looking a little more like it can stand on it’s own two feet.
I am still wary of this remake because I loved the original film so much. If you haven’t seen ‘Let the Right One In’ yet, I do recommend watching that film before you watch this remake. Even if the remake is somehow brilliant, it will taint your opinions on the original and that really is unfair to the original Swedish film.

Pirate Trailer – The Walking Dead
I don’t know how long this will last until someone yanks it down, but here is a pirated trailer from Comic-Con of the the new AMC series ‘The Walking Dead’. I am currently reading the comic series (I am up to issue 40 of the 75 issues currently published) and it is brilliant. I am so glad that Frank Darabont’s new series looks very faithful to the comic series. This I can’t wait to see. Let me know what you think in the comments below.
NB: Click the thumbnail for a great piece of poster art created for the new series by Drew Struzan, arguably one of the best movie poster artists to have ever worked in Hollywood.

Fictionary by Ben O’Brien
On this week’s After Show (ep94) we talked about the new play called ‘Fictionary’ by our friend Ben O’Brien. Considering that the After Show goes online the same day that the play opens I felt we had better post up the details now. We want the play to do well because two of our friends and guests, Ben O’Brien and Celine Roberts, are both involved in the show.
Here are the details:
Liam and Jason are two ordinary people. They live in a moderate sized apartment. They’re both unemployed. They’re both also entirely fictional. However, what would happen if they discovered the truth about their own non-existence? Would they be set free and become able to live their own lives, or would the very fabric of reality dissolve around them? Written by Ben O’Brien, “Fictionary” is a comedy about how easy it is for two characters to trade in their fictional lives for real ones.
Starring Evin Donohoe, Emmanuel Spiropoulos, Melissa Vogt and Michael Yore
Written and Directed By Ben O’Brien
Produced by Brent Davidson
