FilmGeeks EP030 – Backrooms, Scary Movie 6 & the Wildest Watchlist Yet

In this episode of Film Geeks, we’re catching up on a packed watchlist. We start with Scary Movie 6 and discuss why the comedy didn’t land the way we hoped. From there, we review Office Romance, Strung, and Masters of the Universe, including the nostalgia, performances, and whether these films are worth revisiting. Then we dive into Netflix’s I Will Find You, a twist-filled Harlan Coben thriller, before breaking down A24’s Backrooms, one of the most original and thought-provoking films we’ve seen this year. Finally, Shawn gives a full recap of a chaotic polygamist series that somehow gets messier with every episode. Spoilers included.  Follow Film Geeks 83 across all platforms.

FilmGeeks Ep029 – God Is, Obsession & the Wildest Reviews We’ve Done Yet

In this episode of Film Geeks, we celebrate a major moment for the show — Sterling K. Brown officially follows Film Geeks — and then we jump straight into a packed lineup of reviews. We break down God Is, an original film with heavy themes, intense performances, and one of the most unsettling villain turns we’ve seen in a while. We also review Ready or Not 2 and explain why the sequel improves on the original, then dive into Mortal Kombat 2 and its biggest strengths (and weaknesses). On the TV side, we discuss M.I.A. on Peacock — a series that starts as a “normal” family story and quickly becomes a cartel-driven revenge plot. Finally, we close with Obsession, a Blumhouse thriller that feels more like A24, and explain why it’s currently at the top of our movie rankings for the year so far. Spoilers are included.

FilmGeeks EP28 Michael: The Biopic That Changed Everything

In this special episode of Film Geeks, we break down Michael, the highly anticipated Michael Jackson biopic directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jafar Jackson and Colman Domingo. This is not a remake of The Jacksons: An American Dream. This film focuses on Michael’s humanity — his childhood, his isolation, his ambition, and the moments that shaped him into the most iconic performer in music history. We discuss the performances, the emotional weight of the storytelling, the recreation of legendary moments like Thriller and Bad, and why this may already be one of the best films of the year. If you grew up on Michael Jackson or simply want to understand the man behind the icon, this episode is for you.

FilmGeeks EP027 – A24 Chaos, Mario Galaxy & Why Shrinking Hit So Hard

In this episode of Film Geeks, we unpack one of A24’s most uncomfortable relationship dramas and debate whether the confession at the center of the story was forgivable—or unforgivable. We also review Mario Galaxy and discuss whether it lived up to the nostalgia of the first film, then dive into Paradise Season 2 theories and The Pitt’s emotionally heavy second season. Finally, we give flowers to Shrinking, one of the most powerful and human shows on television right now. From grief and forgiveness to scars and growth, this episode covers it all.

FillmGeeks EP 26 – The Twist That Rewrote the Entire Story

From misunderstood characters to a reveal that forces a full rewatch, we debate whether the twist elevated the narrative—or exposed its flaws. Along the way, we break down performances, storytelling choices, and what makes a great surprise ending actually work. If you love layered characters, spoiler-heavy analysis, and passionate film debates, this one’s for you.
