If you love trippy sci-fi shows, this is your lucky day.  Today on GeekFest Rants join Carlos as he reviews two fantastic new sci-fi show that just concluded on streaming services.  One is Devs, from the mind of Ex Machina's Alex Garland.  This one is about determinism vs. free will and it stars Nick Offerman, from Parks and Recreation, and Sonoya Mizuno, form Ex Machina and Annihilation.  The other is Raised By Wolves, produced by Ridley Scott.  Here Scott returns to the themes of the ravages of war caused by believers and non-believers, with a dose of androids and Alien aesthetics.

Episode 417 - Star Wars Celebration 2020 COVID CON

Convention time is here.  Unfortunately it seem most cons are being cancelled due to COVID-19.  So what can be done about it?  Join Carlos and Kyle at GeekFest Rants as they theorize on what Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2020 will or would have been about, depending on it's undetermined fate.  We'll also throw around some ideas as to how, even a cancellation could be turned into an alternative way of still providing fans with an in-home Celebration experience.  I hope the Star Wars/Disney convention bigwigs somehow hear these ideas.

Episode 407 - McFarlane Action Figures

Innovations in action figure design don't occur very often.  But when it happens, collectors and competitors take notice.  Join Carlos and Steve on GeekFest Rants as they step back into their action figure collecting days to reminisce about McFarlane action figures.  These are the more grown up collectable figures that changed the marketplace through the 90's and Spawned - pun intended - a number of imitators.  The quality and diverse nature of properties under the McFarlane line have earned this company a spot in action figure collecting history.
