We are back with a regular episode of the Geektown Radio podcast, and I'm joined by Matt from Entertainment Talk, to dive into the latest in TV shows, films, and video games.
Matt has been going through a bit of a film binge and has been catching up with some recent(ish) releases, as we head toward the end of the year. That includes reviews of Barbie, Blue Beetle, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, and the Jennifer Lawrence movie No Hard Feelings. Meanwhile, I have been catching up on some newer TV, such as the ITVX Cary Grant bio-drama, Archie, and the Paramount+ series Special Ops: Lioness. We also, of course, discuss the triumphant return of Doctor Who to our screens over the weekend.
Moving to the latest news updates, we've got all the news on all the recent renewals, cancellations, and pickups in both UK and US TV this week. We also chat about Sky picking up Kaley Cuoco’s Based on a True Story, and Seth MacFarlane’s Ted series, along with a return to Wolf Hall, and lots more!
