The Little Geek Show Episode 4 – The Last Airbender (The Lost Episode)

Okay here is The Little Geek Show Episode 4 – The Last Airbender… from September! Yes, this was recorded awhile ago and kind of got lost. But now it is found and posted for your viewing pleasure.

You will note that in the episode I mention that we would use music from The Last Airbender for the closing credits but in fact we just used the Geek Actually theme, that is because YouTube is blocking us whenever we use clips or music. The last episode, Diary of a Wimpy Kid had to be removed and re-uploaded with the new theme and it is still under dispute because of the clips we used. I have entered into a dispute resolution and it will be approved (fair use and all) but it is a pain in the ass.

Anyway, here is The Little Geek Show Episode 4 – The Last Airbender (The Lost Episode) – enjoy.

Film Actually Ep019 (111) – I Am Your Father and Don’t Call Me Shirley

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Hosts: David McVay & Josh Philpott

Welcome to the Film Actually podcast, your weekly dose of movie geek. Film Actually is the official movie podcast of geekactually.com.

This week David McVay and Josh Philpott brave another M. Night Shyamalan production, ‘Devil’. We also have Robert Downey Jr.’s new Mr Peanut ad, Michael Bay’s new Victoria’s Secret ad and a brand new Lists of Five – Five Films in Confined Locations. So sit back, grab a nice cup of something and enjoy.

*Update 13/11/2011 – Film Actually was a split off from the main Geek Actually show and originally maintained numbering continuity with that show. That logic no longer works as the shows have become two unique entities, so we have gone back and re-numbered the Film Actually shows to reflect their true episode number. This show is now officially episode 19 but when you listen to the show you will hear it referred to as episode 111, this is why. Sorry about any confusion or inconvenience.

Film Actually is recorded live every Saturday. Go to geekactually.com/live for the schedule and to watch it

Geek Flicks: Friday the 13th (1980)

I want to take you back for a moment. Past the violent blood filled kill-fests we call “gorno”, back past the era of the endless horror sequels, to a time where shoulder pads and frizzy hair are just about to become cool, disco was dead and the film ‘Can’t Stop The Music’ was the thing that killed it.

The year is 1980, and the slasher flick was just finding it’s feet. The 70’s are over and horror was about to have an unprecedented boom. ‘Halloween’ had hit cinemas only two years previous and laid down the rules and style template to work off. Herein lies the birth of modern horror.

For newcomers to horror, or children of the current generation, it is important to remember that things have changed a lot since these times. In this time period the genre was more focused on the art of scaring the audience rather than visually abusing them, to scare you without ever over indulging is the sign of a true ability and Friday the 13th was one such film.

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Hosted by: David McVay & Josh Philpott

Welcome to the Geek Actually After Show. This week on the un-stuctured, no rules, geeky after show podcast that we call Geek Actually we have huge Hot Wheels tracks for art, bedroom marble tracks, microwave oven fun, an obsessive gamer and an epic Thanksgiving meal you won’t soon forget. That is what what you get when you get a few geeks together after we finish recording the two main shows, Tech Actually and Film Actually. We run through DeltaKnight’s geekiest links of the week. Basically we leave the microphones on and record whatever we feel like talking about. This show gives us a chance to talk about those things that didn’t fit into the format of the main shows. It’s all in good geeky fun – Think of it as your ‘Week in Geek’.

The Geek Actually After Show is recorded live on Saturdays around 2.30 to 3pm (AEST UTC+10) depending on how long the main shows go. Go to geekactually.com/live to watch it live.
