New Geek Actually Cover ArtHosts: David McVay, Josh Philpott and Dave Kozicki (with Nicholas McVay)

The Geek Actually Podcast is recorded live on Ustream with chat interaction.

This week David, Josh and Dave dig in deep and pull apart Peter Jackson’s latest opus, “The Lovely Bones”. A shout out to our friends at The Reel Junkies Podcast at weekendronin.com and The Movie Fan House Podcast at moviefanhouse.com.

News: NBC’s Leno Experiment a costly failure, Raimi and Maguire leave ‘Spider-Man 4’, ‘Clash of the Titans’ to feature music by Massive Attack and Jackie Earle Haley in talks to play Sinestro in ‘Green Lantern’. We also look at the new trailers for ‘The A-Team’, ‘Inception’ and ‘Kick-Ass’.

This Week in Television: We take a look at Matt Smith as the new Doctor in ‘Doctor Who’ and review the return of ‘Chuck’, was it worth saving? We think so.

This Week’s Feature Review: Peter Jackson unleashes his long awaited drama ‘The Lovely Bones’. For a change of pace, Josh defends the film as Dave Kozicki and David McVay ravage it. Final verdict, wait for DVD.

After the end music stick around for Nicholas ‘The Little Geek’ McVay’s review of ‘The Fantastic Mr. Fox’. He also fills us in on his latest animation efforts.

This episode carries an explicit tag due to infrequent coarse language.
