Hosts: David McVay, Josh Philpott and Dave Kozicki
The Geek Actually Podcast is recorded live on Ustream with chat interaction.
This week David, Josh and Dave venture into Greek mythology and review ‘Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief’. A shout out to our friends at The Reel Junkies Podcast at weekendronin.com and The Movie Fan House Podcast at moviefanhouse.com.
This Week in Television: Dave K. finally gets to run down the changes in the new season of ‘Scrubs’, Neil Gaiman might or might not be writing an episode of ‘Doctor Who’ and we review the new cable show ‘Spartacus: Blood and Sand’. Definitely a pass on this one. It is a ‘300’/’Gladiator’ rip off done on a mediocre TV budget. It fails on almost every level (except the gratuitous nudity).
Film News: New trailer for ‘The Losers’ looks like fun, The ‘Daredevil’ reboot looks like it might be going ahead, ‘The Thing’ prequel has a director and starts casting, the ‘MacGruber’ trailer has a mixed reaction, The ‘Escape from New York’ remake gets fast tracked by New Line Cinema and Christopher Nolan is overseeing a ‘Superman’ reboot.
This Week’s Feature Review: This week we review Chris Columbus’ new family film ‘Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief’. Mixed review on this one with Dave K. enjoying the film, David M. seeing some redeeming things but over all not liking it and Josh not liking it. 10 year olds might get something out of it, but it is no Harry Potter.
This episode carries an explicit tag due to infrequent coarse language.
