VisionQuest, Doctor Who Bids, Stargate & Marvel's Zodiac | Geektown Radio 505
Welcome to Episode 505 of Geektown Radio! It's a bumper edition this week as Dave is joined by Matt from Entertainment Talk for a packed show featuring reviews of Marvel's 'VisionQuest', the new 'Resident Evil' movie, gaming adventures, and some major developments in the worlds of Doctor Who, Stargate, Marvel and streaming. We kick things off with our usual look at what we've been watching and playing. Matt has three reviews this week, starting with the supernatural horror 'Other Mommy', which unfortunately doesn't live up to its intriguing premise. Things improve considerably with 'Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy', a prequel that blends action, stealth and puzzle-solving into an adventure that really won him over. He also reviews Zach Cregger's new 'Resident Evil' movie, explaining why its original story manages to capture the spirit of the games. Meanwhile, Dave has watched all eight episodes of Marvel's 'VisionQuest', and delivers a glowing, spoiler-free review of the Disney+ series. With Paul Bettany returning as Vision and James Spader back as Ultron, could this be one of Marvel's best television outings yet? Dave also discusses his interview with showrunner Terry Matalas, Danny Dyer's surprisingly brilliant stint hosting 'Saturday Night Live UK', an AI-generated 'Doctor Who' episode, and finally completing 'Marvel's Midnight Suns' after around 90 hours of gameplay, just in time for 'Planet Zoo 2'! In the TV and film news, we have renewals for 'The Hunting Wives', 'Anna Pigeon', 'Not Going Out' and 'Karen Pirie', alongside the end of 'A Thousand Blows'. There are also updates on 'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy', 'This City Is Ours', 'The Assassin', 'All's Fair' and more. Then we get into some of the week's biggest stories: Paramount and Warner Bros. have officially merged under the Skydance umbrella. We discuss what this means for their enormous collection of franchises, the future of HBO Max and Paramount+, and whether putting so much entertainment under one roof is actually a good idea.Marvel's 'Zodiac' has been announced as a new Disney+ spy thriller, but its mysterious logo might be hiding clues about S.H.I.E.L.D., the Great Wheel and some familiar MCU faces. Plus, 'Marvel Zombies' is returning with three new Halloween specials.The future of 'Doctor Who' is taking shape as production companies reportedly submit their bids to take over the iconic sci-fi series. Jed Mercurio, World Productions and STV Studios are among the names in the conversation, but who should get the keys to the TARDIS?'Stargate' could be getting another chance at Amazon, with 'WandaVision' creator Jac Schaeffer reportedly developing a new series. But after the studio scrapped Martin Gero's already-ordered continuation, can this new version win over the fans?Finally, we run through the highlights heading to UK television, including 'VisionQuest', 'The Diplomat', 'Grey's Anatomy', 'Tulsa King', 'Dark Winds' and the 'Friday the 13th' prequel 'Crystal Lake'.
