We return with episode 421 of the Geektown Radio podcast, and Matt from Entertainment Talk joins Dave to chat TV, film, and video game news & reviews!

This week we discuss something we don't often cover here at Geektown - soaps! Specifically, some huge changes coming to one soap in particular, 'Hollyoaks'. Matt has been a longtime watcher of the soap, and they recently announced some major cost-cutting at Channel 4, which will see schedule changes and a big reduction in the cast. We discuss its impact, and why soaps are actual quite important to the UK TV landscape. Meanwhile, I have a string of reviews, including the new video game 'Manor Lords' which hit early access this week, a preview of 'Clarkson's Farm' Season 3, and reviews of Netflix's 'Dead Boy Detectives' and ITVX drama 'Red Eye'.

Moving on to the news updates, we've got all the latest recent renewals, cancellations, and pickups, including a shocking cancellation from CBS... We also discuss returning to the world of ‘Orphan Black‘, how the casting director of a new Paramount+ series loves 'EastEnders', and Alibi bringing in a new drama in both English and Welsh!

We are back with a packed episode 420 of the Geektown Radio podcast, as Dave is joined by Darryl from Hollywood North News to chat TV, film, and video game news & reviews!

It's another birthday week for the podcast as Darryl turns one year older, but that hasn't slowed him down on his TV and film reviews. This week he brings us a wide selection including horror-comedy 'Bodies, Bodies, Bodies', Jason Statham action film 'The Beekeeper', and the Zack Snyder sequel 'Rebel Moon: The Scargiver'. He also has TV reviews, with Netflix's Norwegian drama 'Midsummer Night', and 'X-Men '97'. Meanwhile, Dave has a review of the utterly bonkers 'La Brea' which returned to Paramount+ for a third and final season, along with a video game review of 'Planet Crafter', which dropped its 1.0 release last week.

Moving on to the news updates, we've got all the latest recent renewals, cancellations, and pickups, including an updated pre-game rundown as we head towards the May "TV Bloodbath". This also includes the new dramas and comedies that the various US networks have ordered to series to replace some of the cancellations. Additionally, we have news of a new Apple TV show from the people behind the brilliant 'Slow Horses'! Listen below!

We are back with a celebratory episode 419 of the Geektown Radio podcast, as Dave is joined by Matt from Entertainment Talk to chat TV, film, and video game news & reviews... and tattoos!

It's a celebratory show this week as Matt turns 30, and has chosen to show off his love for 'Toy Story' with a new tattoo! He has also chosen some interesting, rather retro, activities for his big day too! Outside of his birthday, he's been catching up with 'Halo' Season 2... albeit in a somewhat unique way... and also headed to the cinema to watch some Pixar movie re-releases. Meanwhile, Dave brings us a review of the new 'Fallout' series on Prime Video, based on the popular video game, along with diving back into 'No Man's Sky' after a two-year break. He's also, finally, got round to watching 'Oppenheimer', so gives his thoughts on that too, and tells us why it's too short...

Moving on to the news updates, we've got all the latest recent renewals, cancellations, and pickups, including Paramount+ cancelling a 'Star Trek' series, whilst CBS and the BBC come up with some surprise renewals! We also do something of a pre-game rundown as we hurtle towards the May "TV Bloodbath". Additionally, we have news of UKTV reviving a classic police drama, Mark Gatiss gets to play detective, and Ncuti's Doctor gets a new companion! Listen below!
