It's that time of the year...New York Toy Fair 2019 time.  The time we get to see all these new cool toys but cannot buy them just yet.  This year we are going Retro in more ways than one.  From Hasbro producing a Retro line of Kenner Star Wars figures, to new additions from Reaction, like They Live and Planet of the Apes.  Plus. look out, The Warriors are coming.  Then we dive into our poster of the month with the 1983, Brian DePalma-Al Pacino classic, Scarface.  We'll look at the design of the poster plus we also examine the movie tie-in novel by Paul Monette.

Episode 248 - Hollywood Street Cred - Harrison Ford

Today on GeekFest Rants, Carlos and James take a look at a certain point in the film career of Harrison Ford.   Not the mega hits like Star Wars and Indiana Jones but instead the films that gave him the Hollywood street cred so that he would be considered to be a "serious" actor and allow him to do so many other films throughout his career.  Find out which of these non genre films are worth watching and which are our favorites.

Episode 211 - Miami Vice - 30th Anniversary

Today we remember a time where a television show inspired men to wear white Italian linen suits over pastel T-shirts while wearing imported shoes with no socks.  To sport a five o'clock shadow 24/7 and to drive expensive sports cars.....well....maybe getting the cars was a little more difficult.  We are of course talking about Miami Vice, the 1984 cop show that upped the ante on the modern cop show.  For years we had different versions of gritty cops but now we had the cool cops.  From music, to fashion, to action, Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas became television stars and Miami Vice became the latest evolution of the American cop show.  Join us today as Carlos and James take a ride to Miami Vice.
