  • Snark, humor, horror & sci-fi 🎬🎹👍🎉

    Summer continues to be entertaining & informative as well as arrange fascinating people to interview. Many geeky topics are discussed but if for example, you’ve ever wondered how an indie & or horror convention was set up or how films get made on a budget this is a podcast for you. Conventions (& sci fi charities) of all kinds are reviewed, discussed & geeked over. Spock đŸ––đŸ», Freddie & Ivanova I’m sure would approve!
