When most people hear the phrase “con man,” their first thought is of a suave, well-dressed, slick-talking man who deceives people into giving him money. This is not the case, however, for Nathan Fillion (Malcolm Reynolds, Firefly) and Alan Tudyk’s (Hoban “Wash” Washburne, Firefly) new series Con Man, which is about two actors (actors playing actors, hmm…), named…
I would say I watch a healthy amount of television. What I mean by healthy is a ton. I watch Emmy winning comedies, witty cop dramas and everything in between. I’m even currently re-watching all of “Game of Thrones” preparing to recap the new season for this very website. So tell me, why am I…
Robots, Aliens, and Mullets, Oh My! I recall my jaw dropping the moment the trailer for District 9 (2009) hit about its midway point and revealed that a race of aliens were going to be the main plot point of a film that I, moments prior, thought was going to be about some boring contemporary social issue….
Ryan Phillippe is starring in ABC’s newest hit television crime series, Secrets and Lies, and he’s making quite the comeback.

Every week, the folks at iTunes find a movie they like and make it available to rent for the low, low price of $0.99. I’m here to tell you whether that film is worth your hard earned dollar. Quite often a movie’s individual parts are greater than it’s whole. Such is the case with this…
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, the hilarious brainchild of Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, had 20-somethings taking to their couches instead of the clubs and parents sending their kids to bed early after it’s release last Friday. The show centers around the astonishingly resilient Kimmy Schmidt (Ellie Kemper, The Office), who is rescued after being kept in…
Ah, The X-Files, a TV show starring the goody David Duchovny and every geek’s first crush, Gillian Anderson. A beloved TV show about supernatural adventures, aliens, Bigfoot, vampires, and killer bees. From some ridiculous storylines about the Bermuda Triangle and Mulder chasing after his missing sister, as well as boasting one of the most recognizable…

Another month has come and gone. February had its fair share of good and bad movies, but March movies look quite promising. Even if they didn’t, here in the northeastern United States our main hobby at the moment is shoveling snow. So I’ll take seeing a mediocre movie over that option any day of the…
After months of mystery, adventure, and intriguing videos; the truth has finally come out. What happened with Bill? What did a kung-fu student and international spy have to do with it? All of us here at Geek Insider spent a lot of time chasing this mystery all the way to China and back. We knew there…
The very best film music can thrive without the film…even if the film cannot thrive without it. Don’t believe me? Try watching Blade Runner without those lush synthesizers from Vangelis, then we can talk. The music from many of the greatest horror and sci-fi films is more available than ever these days on Spotify, who…
Horror movies have always been hit or miss, scary film lovers always have to sift through a lot of crap to get to the gold….which is a pretty gross analogy but I’m going to stick by it. Also, like any other movie type, horror movies tend to go through phases like the gore porn phase…
