On this week's episode of the Geektown Radio podcast, Gray returns to the podcast for a chat through our week in tv & gaming, along with all the weekly tv news, renewals and cancellations.
Reviewing the last 7 days in tv and gaming, Gray has been watching Anna Kendrick romantic comedy 'Love Life', which is currently streaming on iPlayer in the UK, along with catching up on Season 2 of Ryan Murphy's Netflix show 'The Politician'. Meanwhile, I have been watching the Hugh Laurie drama 'Roadkill' on BBC One, and also preview the new Nick Frost/Simon Pegg paranormal comedy 'Truth Seekers' which premieres later this week on Amazon Prime.
In the TV news, we have all the usual renewals, cancellations and pickups, along with this week's tv news and how the coronavirus is affecting production. We also chat about the spectacular downfall of streaming service Quibi after less than 7 months, and investigate what happened. We also run through some of the upcoming shows on Sky for December 2020 and throughout 2021, along with news of a possible ‘Smokey and the Bandit’ tv series, a 'Willow' series coming to Disney+, and Tim Burton possibly making an 'Addams Family' tv show.
