The Geek Freaks crew is back from the Mother’s Day break and they are diving straight into the biggest stories in geek culture. This episode covers a mix of fandom tension, exciting trailers, comic rebrands, and delays that shook the gaming world.
Are Star Wars Fans Becoming the Problem?
The episode kicks off with a look at the growing frustration within the Star Wars fanbase. Frank, Thomas, and Jonathan explore whether the community has become too critical, especially when it comes to new shows like The Acolyte and Skeleton Crew. They discuss how nostalgia, media literacy, and online outrage are making it harder for new stories to be accepted.
“It might not be for you, but it could be someone’s favorite Star Wars. That matters.” – Frank
Peacemaker Season 2 Is Here and It Might Be Jumping Universes
James Gunn’s Peacemaker returns with a new trailer and it hints at multiverse storylines. The crew breaks down what this could mean for the character’s place in the rebooted DC Universe. With cameos from the Justice League and possible alternate versions of Peacemaker, the show might help connect the old DC world with the new one.
Clayface Movie Loses Horror Edge
Mike Flanagan’s take on Clayface was originally expected to be a horror-driven thriller, but now a new writer is taking over. The team reacts to the change and worries that Clayface might lose the unique tone that made it stand out. Fans were excited for a darker villain movie. Now the project feels less certain.
“The reason this script stood out was because it felt different. I hope they do not lose that.” – Frank
GTA 6 Delayed to 2026
GTA 6 has been officially delayed until 2026. Frank explains why this delay is actually a good thing. Rockstar needs to get this launch right. The stakes are huge for the entire gaming industry. GTA 5 has dominated for over a decade, and expectations for the next entry are massive.
