Geekscape – Details, episodes & analysis

Co-writing geek duo Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit have authored films from some of our favorite geek properties! From Pokémon in 'Detective Pikachu' to everyone's favorite ninjas in 'TMNT: Mutant Mayhem' and more, the pair have cut a path of dream pop culture gigs. And this weekend they top it all with the biggest geek franchise of all time: Star Wars! Both Dan and Benji sit down with me to talk about their approach to Star Wars and their dream Star Wars checklist, working with icons like Mark Hamill and Robin Williams, and how writing Star Wars is like dumping LEGO out on the floor and just following your imagination! Along the way, we answer some Geekscape audience questions, talk TMNT and Pokémon, and eulogize the great James Earl Jones and phenomenal comic talent John Cassaday. Enjoy!

This conversation couldn't come at a better time. Geekscape regulars know that I'm making the jump to fatherhood at what feels like Warp Speed. I'm excited, scared, exploding with love, and completely freaking out! So who better to speak with than Adam Nimoy, the son of Spock actor Leonard Nimoy, about being a dad, his complicated relationship with his own famous father, and his new book detailing all of it: 'The Most Human'? The book itself is a beautiful telling of Adam's journey through parenting, addiction, divorce, and his very human struggles and successes.

'Angus' and 'Spaced Invaders' filmmaker Patrick Read Johnson started filming his autobiographical film '5-25-77' way back in 2004! And now the celebration of filmmaking, Star Wars and small town dreams is finally getting released! Patrick joins us on a fantastic Geekscape to talk about finishing (and starting) the film, working with film legends like John Hughes, Stephen Spielberg and George Lucas and so much more! The Harrison Ford casting story is one of the best stories ever told on Geekscape and that may not even be my favorite from this episode! This really is an incredible episode!
