DC and WB's 'Supergirl' has landed in theaters... and did Milly Alcock's version of the character arrive with a supersonic smack to audiences? Or was her punch softened by kryptonite poisoning? Did Jason Momoa's Lobo show up to give the story a boost? How much did the new film borrow from the beloved 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow' story from the comic book shelves? There is a LOT to talk about with this one, so luckily Ian Kerner joins me to push and pull on everything going on!

Geekscapists! The Disney+ Marvel Streets are rampant with crime and corruption... and only a beloved pair of infatigable heroes can save them! I'm obviously talking about myself and Ian Kerner, as we chop up and discuss both 'Daredevil: Born Again' Season 2 AND the 'Punisher: One Last Kill' special presentation in ONE action-packed, non-stop discussion that promises to blow the lid off of both Marvel offerings! What are the comic book inspirations for each? When in the Marvel timeline do they take place? Are there Favorite easter eggs that we caught? Did the Watcher really show up outside of Fogwell's gym?

Musician Steve Coulter of the rock band Ridel High returns to Geekscape (maybe you know him as music writer S.W. Lauden)! If you're unfamiliar with Ridel High, they are one of the L.A. rock bands that landed a major label deal in the wake of Weezer's successful debut... and you may be unfamiliar with them because not all of those bands "made it". But I loved their one album in college and have had Steve on the show before to talk about that era in rock music. Now he returns with fellow bandmate Kevin Ridel to talk about their upcoming EP of unreleased Ridel High demos and B-Sides! It's a hilarious conversation that spans music industry ups and downs, video games, YouTube streaming, and so much more! And the always awesome Eric Ernst joins me as my music history literate cohost! Enjoy!

With little press and fanfare, Marvel's 'Wonder Man' landed on Disney+... resulting in almost unanimous praise from both fans and critics! Yahya Abdul-Mateen II stars as down-and-out actor Simon Williams, who develops a friendship with beleaguered actor Trevor Slattery, still struggling with a damaged career and reputation from playing the international terrorist 'The Mandarin'. Do both of their fortunes turn around when a new remake of the 70s superhero film 'Wonder Man' gets announced? And how do any of these events mirror the Wonder Man stories from the Marvel comics? Will the MCU Wonder Man ever join an Avengers team? Or develop a romance with Wanda Maximoff? Will we even see this Wonder Man again? We still have tons of questions! Join us as we work through them!
