Undertone, The Drama, The Murder Line & The Testaments Geektown Radio Episode 494

Dave is joined by Matt for Geektown Radio Episode 494, and this week’s show is led by chat about horror film Undertone, relationship drama The Drama, Canadian crime series The Murder Line, and a return to Gilead in The Testaments. Matt kicks things off with three film reviews. First up is Undertone, an audio-led horror built around a creepy podcast mystery, which nails a lot of its atmosphere and sound design before losing its footing a bit in the final stretch. Then there is The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which Matt found colourful but paper thin, before finishing strongly with The Drama, starring Robert Pattinson and Zendaya, which he thought was one of the best films he has seen this year. On the TV side, Matt also checks in with Daredevil: Born Again, which now feels far more confident and focused than it did at the start, plus more blood-soaked superhero chaos from Invincible as the Viltrumite story keeps escalating. On Dave’s side, he dives into the final season of Hacks, takes a look at ITVX crime drama The Murder Line starring Stephen Amell and Minnie Driver, and starts The Testaments, the follow-up to The Handmaid’s Tale, which shifts the focus to a younger generation still living under Gilead’s shadow. There is also a gaming detour into Starfield, which Dave has returned to following its major Free Lanes update, plus a quick mention of this week’s Geekstorians episode on Doctor Who and the Wilderness Years. In the news section, they cover cancellations for Law & Order: Organized Crime and The Copenhagen Test, plus renewals for Young Sherlock, Law & Order: SVU, The ’Burbs, The Madison, Maigret and Father Brown. There is also UK air date news for St. Denis Medical and Clarkson’s Farm, and a look at new BBC sci-fi drama Sutherland starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Stuart Martin and Iain De Caestecker. They also dig into the latest Skydance, Paramount and CBS upfront announcements, including vampire comedy Eternally Yours, legal drama Cupertino, mystery procedural Einstein, and Flint, a cop drama starring Matt LeBlanc as a detective trying to get himself fired. Plus, they round up what is coming to TV next week, including Criminal Record Season 2, Saint Pierre, Stranger Things: Tales From ’85, Half Man, The Cage and Secret Service. Listen now for film reviews, TV news, sci-fi updates, gaming chat and the usual Geektown mix of enthusiasm, side tangents and geeky nonsense. Support this show . Hosted on Acast.
