http://geekactually.com More Random Thoughts from the Geeks at GeekActually.com Wed, 01 Sep 2010 08:36:59 +0000 en-au hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=The Geek Actually After Show (formerly The Geek Actually Podcast) What happens when we have finished recording Film Actually and Tech Actually? This is what happens, The Geek Actually After Show! We leave the mics on and chat about anything that comes to our little geek minds. Sometimes we review another film, demonstrate a new bit of tech or just discuss the issues of the day. No rules usually means there is fun to be had, the show is unstructured, unplanned and often very amusing. Come and have some fun wednesday. Just a warning though, because we speak candidly about our topics (and love to laugh), this podcast has to carry an "explicit tag" for bad language. *UPDATE* On July 17th we split the tech and film shows up and they are released on different days and on different feeds. You will find the two new shows by searching for Tech Actually or Film Actually here on iTunes. This feed only hosts the past episodes of The Geek Actually Podcast (prior to ep 93) and all the new episodes of The Geek Actually After Show. You can watch the the Geek Actually Shows being recorded live every Saturday at geekactually.com/live. For more information about the new shows got to geekactually.com.

This week Calum challenges Josh's review of David Cronenberg's 'Videodrome'. This opens us up to a deep analysis of 'Videodrome' and the work of director David Cronenberg. I don't think we convinced Calum but it was a great discussion. We also discuss the science of shockwaves in Star Trek and Star Wars plus Facebook sues Teachbook.

This week we discuss the new trailer for 'I'm Still Here' the weird new documentary about Joaquin Phoenix's hip hop career. We talk about new images from 'The Walking Dead' TV series and casting for the new film version of 'Y The Last Man'. Because we missed last week, we have a bonus review of the film 'Salt' as well. Some Links of things we discussed: New Walking Dead Photos have surfaced http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/08/18/more-photos-from-amcs-the-walking-dead/ Joaquin Phoenix’s ‘documentary’ I’m Still Here is finally here. Watch the trailer and the Letterman clip. http://geekactually.com/2010/08/18/trailer-im-still-here-the-infamous-joaquin-phoenix-documentary/ Feature Film Review ‘Salt’ directed by Phillip Noyce and written by Kurt Wimmer. It stars Angelina Jolie, Liev Schreiber, Chiwetel Ejiofor (pronounced chew-it-tell edge-oh-for), Daniel Olbrychski and August Diehl. As a CIA officer, Evelyn Salt swore an oath to duty, honor and country. Her loyalty will be tested when a defector accuses her of being a Russian spy. Salt goes on the run, using all her skills and years of experience as a covert operative to elude capture. Salt's efforts to prove her innocence only serve to cast doubt on her motives, as the hunt to uncover the truth behind her identity continues and the question remains: "Who is Salt?" - source Sony Our Verdict: Surprisingly good, Angelina Jolie delivers a powerful multilayered performance. The film is a throw back to great 90's action thrillers like 'Hunt for Red October' or 'Enemy of the State'.

Josh is currently catching up with old Cronenberg films and this just opens us up for discussion about a very interesting filmmaker. We then review our second film of the week, 'The Runaways'. This is a really good music biopic about Joan Jett and the all girl group of the 70's The Runaways. Well worth having a look at. Watch the trailer here. We finish the show with Neil Patrick Harris' Old Spice ad, which is a killer ad. Watch the ad here.

On top of that we take an overview of tech and film news including: Telstra joining the NBN, Google starting a music service, 'The Green Hornet' trailer, another 'Rock'em Sock'em Robots' movie and 'Avatar' porn in 3D! All this and a review of Pixar's latest film 'Toy Story 3' adds up to an hour and a half on informative fun. Your show links follow: Typically we record the show live at 12pm Saturdays (AEST UTC +10) at geekactually.com/live Tech News Julia Gillard is the new Prime Minister - How is this relevant to us geeks? She will be changing up the ministers for her new cabinet, there is a possibility that Stephen Conroy would be replaced as communications minister and that would be big news. The new PM is also agnostic which hopefully means that god and religion will be taken out of the rhetoric.

This week David, Josh and Shane are off to the pop culture expo known as Supanova (thanks to Lionel for the media passes). This week we keep the news to a minimum because it was E3 and we have a lot of information about what was on show. We then review the film 'Get Him to the Greek'.

Robert Rodriguez offered the director's chair for the 'Deadpool' movie http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/06/14/robert-rodriguez-offered-directors-chair-for-deadpool/ Feature Review ‘Get Him To The Greek’ written and directed by Nicholas Stoller based on characters created by Jason Segel. The film stars Jonah Hill, Russell Brand, Rose Byrne, Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs, Elisabeth Moss and Colm Meaney. This is sort of a pseudo sequel to Forgetting Sarah Marshall, a say pseudo sequel because really it is only about one of the characters from the first film which is Russell Brand’s whacked out rocker Aldus Snow. This film has Aldus, a drugged out burn out, being collected by the hapless record company intern Aaron played by Jonah Hill who has to deliver Aldus to a comeback concert at the Greek theatre in three days. The rest of the film is just a drug and alcohol fueled road movie. Watch the trailer here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckQEFV4mwIo Our Verdict: A very funny film that on occasion misses the mark but overall succeeds. Russell Brand is hysterical and Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs is a stand out, we didn't know he had this in him. Like all Apatow productions it gets the balance between humour and heart just right. Highly recommended.

The film was written by Joe Carnahan, Brian Bloom and Skip Woods and is based on characters created by Frank Lupo and Stephen J. Cannell. The film stars Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Sharlto Copley, Jessica Biel, Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson, Brian Bloom and Patrick Wilson. A remake of the classic Stephen J. Cannell action series about a group of elite soldiers who are framed for a crime they didn’t commit and now fight as freedom fighters while trying to clear their names. The movie version ups the ante and has them involved in a CIA sting operation that involves treasury plates that would allow the bad guys to print their own money. However the film does just become the ‘They are framed and escape to catch the bad dudes and clear their names’ trope and it is pretty much what you expect from there. Trailer http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/fox/theateam/ Our Verdict: Really not as bad as we expected. It is by no means an excellent piece of cinema but if you are willing to disengage your brain and go along for the ride, it is kind of fun. It is a lot funnier than expected with Sharlto Copley stealing the film whenever he is on screen. This episode carries an explicit tag due to infrequent coarse language.

The film was written by Wesley Strick and Eric Heisserer based on characters created by Wes Craven. The film stars Jackie Earle Haley, Kyle Gallner, Rooney Mara, Katie Cassidy, Thomas Dekker, Kellan Lutz and Clancy Brown. A Platinum Dunes remake of the classic 1984 Wes Craven film of the same name. The kids on Elm Street start having severe nightmares about a maniac with blades on his fingers and a burned up face. One by one they start being killed by this demonic dream figure and when you die in his world, you die in the real world. It is up to Nancy and Kyle to find out who the mysterious killer is and why he wants them all dead before it is too late and they become the next victims. Our Verdict: Avoid at all costs. The Platinum Dunes guys just didn't get the material and have lost any sense of what Wes Craven set out to create. This episode carries an explicit tag due to infrequent coarse language.

David McVay is joined by Josh Philpott, Ben O'Brien and Shane Gregory Welcome to the Geek Actually Podcast After Show, the show were we 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 show. If this is your first experience with the Geek Actually Podcast, stop! This is not an actual show, it is the random ramblings of a bunch of geeks. Go listen to the main show first then come back to us. The Geek Actually Podcast and After Show are recorded live on Ustream. The After Show this week is pretty centred on the iPad as it was released this week in Australia and we all covet it. All, that is, except Ben. Listen as we try and convince Ben that he needs one. We also go over another couple of comic book movie news pieces that we just couldn't fit into the main show. We finish up the show with a new fan film, 'Hi, I’m a Marvel… and I’m a DC: The Musical', which you can watch here. I love the musical number and felt that it was relevant to go out on this considering how much comic book movie news there was this week. A reminder, this is not a proper episode of the Geek Actually podcast, this is a pretty unstructured conversation that took place after the recording of the proper show. Join us in the chat room during the recording sessions on Saturday afternoons and get your voice heard. If the after shows are popular we will continue recording them. Let us know if you enjoy (or not) the after show in the comments below or in the forum. As always this episode carries an explicit tag due to some bad language.
