It's the annual Countdown to Comic-Con episode! After missing last year's episode for only the second time, David Glanzer returns to kick off the Countdown this year and talk about his history with Comic-Con, some of his favorite memories and David also addresses the complaints about WonderCon and other conventions not feeling the same this year. After that, Henry welcomes this year's guests: Matthew Wiatt, director of the SABER documentary Jeffrey Snow, Founder & Lead Writer of Snowstorm Comics Amy Linsamouth, writer & SDCC panelist Funky Garcia, moderator, Unmasking Cultura panel Besure to listen to the Countdown to Comic-Con, Part 2 for interviews with Tony Kim & Hero Within, Amin Amat & a special Comic-Con 101 with Tony Kim for all you first-time attendees!
On the second part to this year's Countdown to Comic-Con, Henry starts with a conversation with Tony Kim. Tony talks about celebrating Hero Within's 10th Anniversary & shares some great news regarding the future of the company. Then, artist Amin Amat returns to the show but not to talk about his graphic novel series this time, instead, he previews a panel he'll be speaking on during Comic-Con. Finally, because Henry met so many first-time attendees at Free Comic Book Day & other events, Tony Kim comes back for a "Comic-Con 101" segment to help those first-timers navigate through San Diego Comic-Con. *** This year, you can also watch the Countdown to Comic-Con episode!

Henry welcomes writers Michael Scwartz & Rachael Schaefer to talk about their upcoming graphic novel, Til Death. It's the story about a restless ghost from the 1960s enlisting a grieving man to carry her bones across the country in a final attempt to reunite with her husband. But even the afterlife has rules, and breaking them could incur a fate worse than death. It's also a Kickstarter campaign with some pretty awesome rewards for backers...especially if you're a fan of the supernatural or ghost stories. Plus Shanclen's Nerdy Navajo News and a new pick for the Book Club.
The Geek Speak Show returns from a short break and picks up right where they left off....with this month's Issues of the Day. Henry San Miguel, Emily Mata and the Nerdy Navajo, Shanclen, talk about whether streaming really has killed the movie-going experience. This topic was prompted by a quote from Steven Spielberg where he describes going to a movie theater as a magical experience. Is it still? The second topic is...interesting. The Odyssey has announced that it will NOT hold any screenings for social media influencers. Is that a good or bad move by Universal and Christopher Nolan? Which leads to the final topic: Why has there been so much negativity about conventions this year? Complaints about empty aisles, no big panels, the usual brands not having a presence at the cons....yet, the conventions' social media acounts tell a diferent story. What's the truth? Plus Henry makes an announcement regarding The Geek Speak Expo.
On this month's Issues of the Day, Henry & Emily are joined by Linds from Lind's Soapbox on Instagram. Henry asks a simple question: Do we really need a trailer for a movie like Avengers: Doomsday? That leads to another related issue: Have we gotten to a point where there is just too much released for movies? In the second segment, Emily wonders whether the upcoming Supergirl movie should cover the events from the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic or should it just be an origin story? Henry brings up the elephant in the room: Will it matter because we still have people that won't see it just because it's SuperGIRL? The Geek Speak Show is taking a short Summer Vacation. The crew will return in Avengers: DoomsDa...no, on Wednesday, July 15th.
Henry is joined by Rebecca Sun, a journalist & cultural critic and former Senior Editor of Equality & Inclusion at The Hollywood Reporter. They talk about the recent layoffs across the entertainment industry, but especially what that means for college graduates & current students. As a lecturer at Cal State Fullerton, how does Rebecca prepare students & grads to enter a climate with no openings in their chosen career studies? Emily Mata, as a soon-to-be-college grad, also adds her thoughts on this topic and then she and Henry talk about Obsession and Backrooms and whether they're the "new direction of filmmaking" as many seem to think.
After the team took a break last week, they return this week with a jam-packed episode! First, Henry introduces the newest members of The Geek Speak Show, one in front of the mic, the other behind the scenes. Then, he's joined by the Nerdy Navajo Shanclen to chat with Darren Watts about collecting comics. If you've watched the Selling Superman documentary on Amazon, you know Darren's story and what started The Fantast Collection. As you can imagine, Shanclen has many questions about collecting for Darren. Then, they're joined by John Ward, the writer of the Scareville horror book series and also A Blackened Heart, A Blackened Soul. John talks about writing horror for kids and how his series differs from another horror book series for kids. Shanclen gets into a discusion on John's real-life paranormal experiences that inspired the books.
Henry, Emily & Shanclen take the week off to relax after Memorial Day weekend and, for Henry, several natuaral & not-so-natural disaters in Southern California. Henry replays two interviews from the show's past: First, from Season 7, an interview with a Lightsaber Fencing Summer Camp in San Francisco. Then, from the show's first season in 2010, Jeph Loeb's first of many appearances on the show. The gang will be back with an all-new episode next week. And with all-new team members, too.....
