Our coverage of this year's #grimmfest starts with @knowhereandy.bsky.social chatting to the director and writer of Wormtown. This interview proves that rewrites aren't always a negative. Maybe in Hollywood, but in the indie cinema world?

ICYMI, my latest "Outside the Blue Box" article is up on the @thegeekshow.bsky.social Patreon - this month, I tackled DISCIPLE OF DEATH, a deep cut of Brit strangeness featuring Louise Jameson, Rusty Goffe, and the thoroughly fascinating man that was Mike Raven.

NEW REVIEW @thegeekshow.bsky.social 👔🧪🌃

Read here for my thoughts on TIE MAN, a home-made Canadian superhero oddity (just shown at Fantastic Fest) that is, beyond anything else, admirably singular.

The Geek Show @thegeekshow.bsky.social · 18d

Our first piece of #fantasticfest coverage this year is a odd one. Tie Man is a comedic fantasy noir with an unusual vigilante, think #Darkman but with more Ties.

A remake of the oddest kind, the never-predictable Steven Kostanski hits the 1980s sleaze-tastic fantasy movie Deathstalker, and brings it back in a way only he can.

Here in North Yorkshire, it's about time the legacy of James Cook was looked at with big boy pants on, and new Fantastic Fest movie Marama does just that.

One director people could never accuse of being predictable is the eccentric French auteur, Quentin Dupieux. A tradition he keeps up with The Piano Accident.
