Hello and Welcome to a Brand New Podcast featuring Rob and Andy called They'll Love Me When I'm Dead - a reference to the nature of franchise films, the subject matter of this new pod.

I won't go too deep into the reeds about how this podcast works, as it's discussed in the podcast but in essence there will be 6 free episodes and 6 paid for episodes a year. This first one is a freebie for both the Patreon feed and the uncut podcast feed. Whichever one you are seeing this on, please subscribe to the other.

THE GEEK SHOW'S PATREON IS HERE

In this first episode we discuss the Blade movies, how pivotal they are to us and individuals and to Marvel as a company, plus there frankly bonkers internal mythology. Just how many times does Whistler need to be killed for it to stick? And we finish by talking about how underutilised the character of Blade is.

Plenty more is coming soon from They'll Love Me When I'm Dead, so, thank you for checking out this first episode.

Welcome back to Uncut—a little later than planned, but we’re thrilled to finally launch Uncut Presents, a brand‑new series where we invite a filmmaker to explore three films that shaped them: one that influenced them, one they love, and one of their own.

Our debut guest is Dan Martin, the FX wizard behind Possessor, Color Out of Space, Infinity Pool, In the Earth, and countless other genre favorites. Dan sits down with us to break down three wildly different films:

Bad Taste (Peter Jackson, 1987) – the low‑budget splatter classic that inspired a generation of DIY filmmakers.

Parents (Bob Balaban, 1989) – a darkly comic, underappreciated gem that Dan loves.

F (Johannes Roberts, 2010) – a taut British horror from Dan’s own filmography.

This episode is the full, uncut conversation—available now in audio on Spotify. Prefer to watch? Head over to The Geek Show on YouTube, where the video version has been split into three standalone episodes, one per film, so you can dive deep into each movie at your own pace.

Coming next: another first—They’ll Love Me When I’m Dead, a new franchise‑based podcast. There’s too much to squeeze into one description, so stay tuned. Follow the Geek Show on Instagram, BlueSky, Twitter and Facebook to keep up to date with all the happenings on Uncut and Beyond.

It's that time of the year for Uncut, we review the past 12 months, or at least a good half of it.

We will be having a little break for now, just as I address and get the ball rolling on the interview portion of the podcast going forward, and get pre-production rolling on my second short film. It's called MARA, and hopefully it is coming to a film festival near you in 2026.

Until next time, thanks for listening. The video version will drop soon on YouTube, but given how much more is required to edit that, it'll be with you as soon as we can manage.
