Geektown Radio Episode 426: The Acolyte, Galacticare, Star Trek Discovery, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, Reviews, Plus TV News & UK Air Dates!
Description
We are back with another bumper episode 426 of the Geektown Radio podcast, and Dave is joined by host, comedian, podcaster and streamer, Rik Carranza, to chat TV, film, and video game news & reviews!
Rik is a stage host, stand-up comedian, podcaster, streamer, and all-around geek. He is also known for his hilarious stage shows 'Star Trek vs Star Wars' and 'Marvel vs DC' where guests fight for the honour of their favourite franchise, both of which are playing at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2024.
Rik brings us some interesting TV and film reviews, along with some retro game reviews, and (something we don't have on the show very often) a gadget review! First up he joins last week's guest co-host in his praise for 'Furiosa', before moving onto a reviews of the Netflix animated series 'Scott Pilgrim Takes Off'. Also, given Rik is such a massive Trek fan, we hear his thoughts on 'Star Trek: Discovery', which leads into a larger discussion about 'Star Trek' in general. He also reviews one of the many retro handheld gaming consoles, the Anbernic RG556. Meanwhile, I review "Rogue", the latest 'Doctor Who' episode, and the brilliant recently released game Galacticare, which is basically Two Point Hospital in space! We, of course, both discuss last week's big release, 'Star Wars: The Acolyte'.
Moving on to the news updates, we update you with all the latest cancellations and renewals, which saw The CW chop down another series, whilst we have ‘Peaky Blinders’ officially returning. In the news we discuss UKTV's (frankly, horrible) rebrand, Jensen Ackles landing a new show on Prime, Charlie Hunnam becoming a 'Criminal', and lots more! It is another packed show! Listen below!
