Geektown Radio - Tv News, Interviews & Uk Tv Air Dates

  We're running a day late this week due to some prior commitments, but we're back with a show packed full of geeky goodness for you. This week's co-host is Matt Nemeth from The All In One podcast (and who needs a much better photo on the banner!) ;) WARNING - We do talk about the current series of Walking Dead (11.20mins - 18.30mins), so if you're running behind this season, there are spoilers. Listen for the background music. If it's playing, we're still talking Walking Dead, so skip past it. :) In this weeks show: We take a look at the tv & films we’ve watched over the last week, and a catch up with Matt about all the latest gaming stuff. A round up of the tv news from the last week. The latest tv cancellation and renewal info. As usual, all the latest tv air date updates, and a look forward to tv in the next 7 days.

We're 40 episodes in, and once again we have a packed show for you! This week, we interview Abel Korzeniowski, the man behind the sumptuous score for Sky Atlantic's Penny Dreadful, along with lots of tv news and gaming chat with Chris. Golden Globe Nominated composer Abel Korzeniowski recently received two Emmy nominations for his work on Sky Atlantic’s hit show "Penny Dreadful," starring Josh Hartnett, Eva Green and Timothy Dalton.  Abel burst into international prominence with his lush and stirring music in Tom Ford’s "A Single Man" starring Colin Firth and Julianne Moore. The Golden Globe-nominated score caught the attention of music legend Madonna, who invited Abel to write music for her feature film "W.E.," for which he received his second Golden Globe nomination. A collaboration which continued onto her next 2 albums on which he orchestrated a number of tracks. In this weeks show: We take a look at the tv & films we’ve watched over the last week, and a catch up with Chris.

We're back with our 39th episode, and this week, along with all the usual news and air date info, we have an interview with UNTIL DAWN composer Jason Graves, who talks about the challenges of composing music for a very unique game. Until Dawn is an interactive drama survival horror adventure game, which (for our older listener) is somewhat akin to the old 'choose your own adventure' books. When eight friends are trapped on a remote mountain retreat and things quickly turn sinister, they start to suspect they aren’t alone. Gripped by fear and with tensions in the group running high, you’ll be forced to make snap decisions that could mean life, or death, for everyone involved. Every choice you make in your terrifying search for answers – even the seemingly trivial ones – will carve out your own unique story. The game stars Hayden Panettiere (Heroes, Nashville), Rami Malek (Mr Robot), Brett Dalton (AoS), Peter Stormare (Arrow older Count Vertigo, Berlin in the Black List). Jason Graves is...

It's our 38th episode and we're back with Chris, and an interview with Christopher Brookmyre, author of numerous award winning novels (Quite Ugly One Morning, Boiling a Frog, All Fun And Games until Someone Loses an Eye), and writer of the video game and novel Bedlam. Ross (aka Bedlam) is an overworked and underpaid scientist developing medical technology for corporate giant Neurosphere. In the book, one rainy Monday morning Ross volunteers as a test candidate for the new brain scanning tech – anything to get out of the office for a few hours. But when he gets out of the scanner he discovers he’s not only escaped the office, but possibly escaped real life for good! Ross finds himself trapped in Starfire – the violent sci-fi game he spent his teenage years playing – with no explanation, no backup and, most terrifyingly, no way out! For the game they are taking a slightly different perspective... a female perspective… Players will take on the role of Heather, a colleague of Ross, who is a... Support this show h

She's is now starring as Maria Adams, alongside Andrew French, Edmund Kingsley, Jack Gordon and Joe Dixon, in Anthony Woodley’s exciting science fiction movie The Carrier. In The Carrier, England has been overrun by a pandemic with no apparent cure. As the infection continues to spread, safety – for a lucky few – looms in the form of a damaged 747, to seek solace abroad. It’s only once the plane is airborne, that the survivors discover the infection has made it onto the flight with them. As the survivors begin to take sides and try to impress their desires on one another, it becomes clear they’re in as much danger from each other, as they are from the infection.

We're back this week with a full show AND an interview with Napoleon Dynamite & How I Met Your Mother composer John Swihart! The Berkelee-trained Swihart fuses ‘70s funk with electronica for the movie, providing a musical backdrop that expertly plays alongside the comedy, yet simultaneously allowing the jokes to breathe when necessary. Produced by Lorne Michaels, comedy Staten Island Summer unites SNL alums Cecily Strong, Bobby Moynihan, Fred Armisen, Will Forte, and Kate McKinnon for a hilarious coming of age comedy about two lifeguards on a mission to throw the biggest party of the summer. Swihart has provided memorable scores for a number of coming-of-age, youth-driven projects, ranging from classic cult comedy Napoleon Dynamite, to Fox’s Red Band Society, and the Michael Cera film Youth in Revolt. Swihart scored the CBS’s landmark comedy How I Met Your Mother. In this weeks show: We take a look at the tv show news we’ve watched over the last week, and some gaming chat as...

As people have been away and tied up with work this week, it's the perfect opportunity to air an interview I did recently with the author Richard Morgan. Richard is a sci-fi and fantasy writer, who's probably best know for his Philip K. Dick Award winning sci-fi novel Altered Carbon, which went on to spawn the Takeshi Kovacs trilogy. He's 2nd trilogy 'A Land Fit for Heroes' moved him into fantasy, and is currently being turned into an interactive gamebook by Liber Primus Games. If you don't know Richard from his excellent novels, he also wrote the Syndicate reboot for EA in 2012, Crysis 2 for Crytek in 2011, and was largely responsible for rebooting Marvel's Black Widow with his two six issue miniseries he wrote for the character.

Once again, we're still away on holiday this week, but as I know we have a lot of Walking Dead fans out there, I thought it might be interesting to put up the audio from The Walking Dead panel we recorded back in March. We've played a few clips out on the show, but this is the whole panel with Laurie Holden (Andrea), Christian Serratos (Rosita Espinosa), and Tyler James Williams (Noah). You can see the actual video below too, but I know a lot of people will be listening to this on the way to work, and it's kinda hard to watch YouTube and drive at the same time. ;) Normal service will be resumed next week. :) https://youtu.be/PfkbkYgqKV8 Geektown Radio : Special - The Walking Dead (Panel from Birmingham Comic Con March 2015) If you want to take a listen to the latest episode, just click the link below, and if you like it, you can click here to subscribe to Geektown Radio on iTunes or click here for the RSS feed.

Raw, grinding, propulsive, punctuated by incredible layers of sound and energy, they are classics in the horror genre.
