The First Omen, Geek Girl, Eric and Oz Comic Con – Reviews
First up, Sam guides us through a sea of cosplay costumes at this year’s ultimate geek festival, OZ Comic Con, with some delightful tales about their favourite presenters at the Q&A sessions. The most important question is will Sam be able to match the energy of John Barrowman?
Clayton and Tamzyn discuss the origins of “The First Omens” story. With a strong homage to the original movie and the use of music to great horror effect, it’s a thumbs up for this horror re-take. However, Clayton was not too impressed with the Latin pronunciations.
Tamzin, Sam, and Clayton joyfully skip down the Geeky Lane into a review of “Geek Girl.” The team agrees that for authentic representation of autism, this one hits the spot. The discussion point about inner monologues represented by voice-overs is not to be missed.
Finally, the big Geek question: To Cumberbatch or not to Cumberbatch? that is the question the geek team debates. How do you deal with an unlikable protagonist? The new drama series “Eric” splits the team. Do I have to like the actor to enjoy the show? Do I have to like the character to engage in the story? All this and more in a fascinating team discussion.
Lots to listen to this week. Enjoy!
