Not film documentaries, documentaries about films. There is a difference; these are not your typical behind the scenes, how a movie is made kind of docs.
These are about how some movies never got made like The Death of Superman Lives, Doomed, and Jodorowsky's Dune. Or movies about how people interpret Kubrick's The Shining like Room 237.
Plus many, many more. Join Carlos today on GeekFest Rants as he explores all these excellent documentaries(about films).

Things are not going to go the way you think... Today on GeekFest Rants, this line from Star Wars: The Last Jedi, will apply both to the kind of show we are uploading and to one of Carlos' favorite podcasts, Rebel Force Radio.
On this episode we are doing an unexpected continuation to our previous Toxic Fandom episode. This time we'll cover how Toxic Fandom and politics seeps into everyday personal relationships.
How we are often disappointed by the media personalities we admire. And even, how something as unifying as a top rated Star Wars podcast can divide the fan community due to their political and diversity/inclusively views.

There are good films, bad films, and Cult films. Well, two out of three ain't bad. Today on GeekFest Rants Carlos will look at the Michael Mann WWII horror film, The Keep. Even the greatest of film makers have a skeleton in their closet and this one might be it for Michael Mann. Even with a superb cast like Scott Glenn, Gabriel Byrne, Jürgen Prochnow, and Ian McKellen, this one misses the mark. But is there something good about it that we might want to take a second look at?
Then we'll look at Star Trek toy ships. From brands like Micro Machines, Furuta, Hallmark, Hot Wheels, and Eaglemoss. So many choices, so little money.

It was the dawn of the third age of mankind, ten years after the Earth/Minbari war. The Babylon Project was a dream given form. Its goal: to prevent another war by creating a place where humans and aliens could work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call, home away from home for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanderers. Humans and aliens wrapped in two million, five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal, all alone in the night.
It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last best hope for peace. This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2258. The name of the place is Babylon 5.
Join Carlos at GeekFest Rants as he finally takes on one his favorite science fiction series, Babylon 5.

When was the last time you heard the story of Star Wars? Now a days, not so much. But a long time ago, before the home video revolution, records were our way of reliving the Star Wars saga.
