Join us again for Cult TV as we look back at the late 60s American supernatural soap opera Dark Shadows. Steven emerges from the shadows to talk about Dark Shadows with KingDom and MKH

We look at a programme that, despite having no budget and being filmed as 'live', introduced werewolves and vampires to daytime TV and endeared itself to a generation of unwitting Americans.

MKH has hot Asian men on the brain, but what is he really talking about here??....of course he wants to know whether Asian men in cinema and film are part of a new wave or just a passing phase.

Bar Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Donnie Yen, the on-screen representation of east-Asian men since the beginning of cinema has been limited in western film and television productions until the last decade.

Are we on the verge of a renaissance? Particularly now that east Asian men are being cast in less stereotypical roles with more stories positioning them as leading characters rather than background or supporting cast members.

Martin Scorsese explains why many women didn't go into the speaking parts of his films, so MKH speaks on "going in" on Scorsese's seemingly politically incorrect approach to storytelling. To some, Scorsese is a living legend and genius director!!!

For others, he is simply a man out of time, who is right? With his recent criticisms of the "fairground attraction" films that are from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, MKH takes time to wonder what type of representation (or simulation) a Scorsese film stands for based on his uber-masculine template.

Could these latest comments be the off-shoots of a fantastic marketing campaign or deep-rooted true feelings? The director of Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas and Wolf Of Wall Street is brought to book alongside good-fellow presenters Jay and King Dom.

Trevor introduces the sci-fi thriller that divides two worlds within the boundaries to the GeekSweat team, Countepart stars screen &T TV legend J.K. Simmons who takes on not one, but two roles in a complex, neo-noir thriller that is redefining the terms of a doppelganger story.

KingDom and MKH take note of what works and perhaps what doesn't in this near-future world, Kafkaesque vision that explores the possibility of parallel wells not just separated by choices, but separated by government, institution and ultimately bureaucracy.

Review Sweat comes to you as a complementary take on what's worth watching on your available online streaming service, that you may have heard about or may have not.

Gary Lewis is a walk and talk expert on Alfred Hitchcock and his time in Leytonstone (east London). As part of the "Alfred Hitchcock Society of Leytonstone", Gary aims to preserve the history and origins of the world's greatest film Director.

KingDom and Coady are full of questions and suspense as Gary reveals early incidents and accidents that shaped and influenced the famed Master of Suspense and his films. A great opportunity to understand what we can see and know that is connected to Sir Alfred Hitchcock.

GeekSweat's Hot Topic is a fact-finding mission for the gang and it was also recorded live at The Stone Space Gallery (dressed up as the Leytonstone Picture Palace) as part of the Barbican's "Leytonstone Loves Film" event (c/o: Waltham Forest's London Borough of Culture).

GeekSweat teases new trailers and takes ratings on Stephen King sequel DOCTOR SLEEP, a real-life rivalry in FORD V FERRARI and seasonal British romantic comedy in LAST CHRISTMAS.

TJ takes the reins, in the absence Jay; while KingDom and MKH are critiquing the up and coming cinema hits (or misses) for you to think about: watching, waiting until it comes online or simply just giving it a miss.

So have a listen in on how things match up for Christian Bale & Matt Damon, Emilia Clarke & Henry Golding and Rebecca Ferguson & Ewan McGregor.

Coady inherits the Review Sweat mantle to discuss Succession a satirical, black comedy produced by Jesse Armstrong for HBO. The series observes the Roy family, dysfunctional owners of a global media empire led by a patriarch who is declining in health and considering an heir.

Brian Cox is the most recognizable actor ably supported by Hiam Abbass, Alan Ruck and Sarah Snook. In 2018, the compelling ensemble cast garnered attention and awards of the Golden Globes (Kieran Culkin) and Critics Choice Awards (Matthew McFadyen).

This topical insight into how the rich and privileged live in the upper echelons of society in America appears to have a rich tapestry of characters that you will love to hate and want to see more of.

Steven takes GeekSweat back to school with a seminar on Community; the Dan Harmon project that launched a thousand faces, not least Donald Glover, Ken Jeong and Alison Brie.

What was so special about this series; where did it pass, where did it fail and how much revision took place in creating the formula for 6 core characters and an ever-expanding supporting cast.

King Dom and TJ enrol to the round-up of one of the most ground-breaking, yet formulaic shows in recent TV history and what it meant to creators and comedy tropes.

Jay looks at the issue of representation in big-budget productions by putting WARRIOR (Amazon Prime / Cinemax) in the spotlight and discussing it's origins (as a concept by Bruce Lee) and historical accuracies (delving into the Chinese Exclusion Act).

This episode explores the authenticity of the story to recreate the era on the small screen for a wider audience; particularly in redefining a south-east Asian cast and the range of storytelling that is possible.

50 years in the making, we reveal key instigators who made this happen!! Jay reveals some very interesting insights into the development of this critically acclaimed show to the GeekSweat team in this Hot Topic segment with Steven, TJ and King Dom in tow.

King Dom takes the helm on trailer talk as we go deeper into Downton, juggle with a joker, see double Will Smith and then double-tap out for safety in a zombie comedy.

Jay and TJ join forces to give feedback on what is worth watching at the cinema, what can wait until streaming and what should be given a miss at the cinema.

From a successful English TV series to one of the most recognized villains in comic book history, to the book adaptation and finally the most refreshing zombie movie.

Trevor goes back, forth and back again about why DARK is the premier series on time travel to date. The German science-fiction drama is becoming critically acclaimed, yet it may be a little less known in the wave of U.S. sci-fi.

What are the 'stranger things' setting this apart from the 'fringe' as the 'counterpart' to a 'westworld' of sci-fi, as 'the expanse' of its audience rises to a 'legion' from just 'the man in the high castle'.

King Dom and Steven look for clues, and a German translator, as we unfold a time-bending mystery emanating from the sleepy town of Winden and its ominous history-echoing nuclear power plant.

HOT TOPIC

In a special episode of Geeksweat, we look back at the work of Stephen Sondheim who sadly passed away in November 2021 and discuss perhaps one of his most seminal musicals Sweeney Todd.

In tribute to the memory of Stephen Sondheim, King Dom cuts through Geeksweat to revisit the musical feature film Sweeney Todd (2007) based on a classic theatre production, ably assisted by Jay.

On this episode of Hot Topic we're joined by fellow podcaster Tod Hostetler of Spies Like Us Podcast who grew up on the Len Cariou/Angela Lansbury production and is a lifelong Sondheim fan.

The Ninth Doctor has gone already, but don’t worry he’s left the TARDIS in the more than capable hands of bright young thing David Tennant.

So what does the youthful, energetic, friendly, childlike have to offer this long-running series? What kind of traits would also prompt Steven Moffat to call the Tenth Doctor a "good boyfriend" Doctor??

Steven takes the lead as Thanos's advocate (so to speak) for the GeekSweat take on Avengers: Endgame and the not only the end of an era, but the culmination of MCU.

KingDom, MKH and TJ jest, protest and test the boundaries of what Marvel got right (and perhaps were a little "tight" with) in the execution of the final story - in a ten year run of storytelling (if we start from Iron Man).

So with arrows in our quiver we take aim at all elements and singularities surrounding the final instalment of the three-phase series of Marvel Studios films for its legends.
