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.....
The episode begins with Henry's reaction to The Punisher: One Last Kill and why it suffers because of an issue with the MCU overall. Then, he welcomes Kevin Croxton to the show. Kevin is a composer and music teacher at Oliver Springs Elementary in Arkansas. The Oliver Springs Music Club, under Kevin's direction, made a Ghostbusters fan film called Ghostbusters: Half-Life. Kevin talks about it, including a scene that will be even more emotional after you hear why it's in the film. Geek Off The Street's Trent Tucker joins Henry & Emily Mata to give their reactions to The Punisher: One Last Kill.
Henry, Emily & Shanclen talk about "original stories" and what that looks like in 2026. That leads to them playing a game that Henry calls "Pitch, Please!". Basically, a pitch meeting where Emily & Shanclen pitch original stories...however, if at any point the story pitch sounds like anything that we've already seen, they'll get the buzzer and pitch meeting over. Did they come up with an original story idea? Listen & find out! Then, Henry talks to Jeffrey R. Dean, the writer & artist of Project: HOLO and the T.E.R.R.A. series.
As the team relaxes after Free Comic Book Day, they decide to record the Issues of the Day for this month. Like last month, Henry, Emily and Shanclen each bring their own topic: Shanclen has an isue with con funk. Is it something that needs to be eliminated or just part of the con experience? Emily asks whether there is too much nostalgia, with films like Masters of the Universe and Mortal Kombat 2 on the way. Finally, Henry brings up the elephant that has been on all of your social media: Are you all not enjoying conventions the way you used to? If so, why?
This week, Henry welcomes Chris Brady, the managing owner of 4 Color Fantasies in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. That's where the show will be on Free Comic Book Day this year, and Chris talks about what he was doing before he decided to open the shop, why he opened it, what makes 4 Color Fantasies unique and he also reflects on the almost 20 years of the shop serving the Inland Empire. After Shanclen's Nerdy Navajo news report, Emily Mata joins Henry to reveal what the Skullcado Comics team will have at 4 Color Fantasies on FCBD and, finally, they reveal all the info on The Geek Speak Expo. All speakers are revealed, plus they let you know when & where tickets will go on sale.
Writer Tim Zajac joins Henry on this week's episode. Tim is the creator of Poe Noir, a comic book series inspired & adapting the stories of Edgar Allan Poe. Tim talks about how he went from writing for stage, film & television to writing his own comic book series, Poe Noir: The Dupine Files & where he'll be for Free Comic Book Day this year. After Shanclen updates us on what's hapening in Geek Culture, Emily Mata joins Henry and they talk about whether a film the size of Avengers: Doomsday needs a trailer 8 months before its release & what types of films actually do need a trailer or something...which leads to an interesting discovery about Emily and movie trailers...
On this month's Issues of the Day, we try something different: First of all, there are no guests, just Henry San Miguel, Emily Mata & Shanclen. That's not the new thing. This time, each of the hosts comes up with their own topic and leads their respective segments. Then, Henry reveals where The Geek Speak Show will be spending this year's Free Comic Book Day.
