This week on the podcast we take a look at Lee Cronin's THE MUMMY. When the young daughter of a journalist disappears into the Egyptian desert without a trace and is returned eight years later, the heart-broken family is shocked when what should be a joyful reunion, soon turns into a living nightmare as she starts to transform into something truly horrifying. Tune in and find out what we all thought!

This week we are taking a look at the Amazon Prime superhero/crime series, SPIDER NOIR. Nicholas Cage stars as Ben Reilly, a grizzled, down-on-his-luck private investigator in 1930s New York, who, when a new threat arises, is forced to reconsider his decision of putting away his mask as the city's one and only superhero.

Hey listeners...did you know we also put out shows that don't follow our regular format? We certainly do and we call it 3GD's Escape Pod! We have a new on for you...Geek Dads Marc and Brien got together recently with Chris and Tristan Ham from the Get Your Shine-box podcast for some more geeky discussion, hilarity and hi-jinx! Tune in for "THE TRIBBLE ALLIANCE" where we talk all about what our geeky hopes and expectations were for the first half of this year.

This week we will be taking a look at the 2026 sci-fi adventure film PROJECT HAIL MARY. It was produced and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (the team behind Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs, The LEGO Movie and Sony's Miles Morales Spider-verse franchise) and based on the novel by Andy Weir (author of The Martian). In the film, science teacher Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) wakes up on a spaceship with no memory of who he is or how he got there. As his memories slowly return, he discovers that he must figure out the puzzle behind a mysterious substance that's causing the sun to die out -- but he may not have to do it alone…for a lone alien is also on the same mission as his star is also dimming from the same mysterious substance and not the two of them have to team up to save both their worlds. Tune in and find out what we thought.

The month of May concludes with our final Derek pick...Goldeneye. The 1995 James Bond film where Pierce Brosnan steps into the role of 007 and brings the franchise into the 90's. Tune in and find out what we all thought!

The month of May continues with picks by our own Derek and this week he's chosen the 1991 neo-noir romantic thriller, DEAD AGAIN. Directed by and starring Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson with Andy Garcia, Derek Jacobi, Wayne Knight and Robin Williams, it tells the story of a woman who has lost her memory (Thompson), and a private eye (Brannagh) who is enlisted to track down her identity, but he soon finds that he might have a past life connection to her that endangers both of their lives.

This month, Derek picks the films we talk about and this week, he chose one of his faves...Drop Dead Gorgeous. This mockumentary from 1999 stars Kirsten Dunst, Kirsty Alley, Ellen Barkin, Allison Janey and Denise Richards and focuses on a small-town beauty pageant that turns deadly as it becomes clear that someone will go to any lengths to win. What did we think? Tune in and find out!

This week, we conclude our month long April Fool's episodes (thank god) with a look at a diverse group of super-powered individuals, brought together by a super-secret quasi-government organization and must learn to work together as a team to take down a super villain bent on world domination! Yes, it sounds a lot like Marvel's Avengers, doesn't it? But, what are we really going to be talking about? Listen in and find out!

This week, we're taking a look at a film where man struggles to survive in a post-apocalyptic world where, after many many hundreds of years, man lives like his primitive ancestors. However, he is no longer the dominant species on this savage planet, for, in this film, man is hunted and enslaved by another, stronger, oppressive species. Yes, we will be talking about PLANTE OF THE APES...or are we? Don't forget, dear brave listener, that around here, April is "April Fool's Month" and we may not be telling the truth...

This week, we're taking a look at Almost Famous, the semi-autobiographical story from Cameron Crowe of an up and coming 1970's rock band struggling with the harsh realities of fame... or are we??? April, for us, is April Fool's Month where we say we're looking at one film but, we actually look at something completely different! Listen in and find out what we're really talking about.
