Geektown Radio 149: The Oscars, Writer/Director Patrick Meaney, UK TV News & UK TV Air Dates!

It's a brand new Geektown Radio, and this week, along with the usual tv new and UK TV premiere info, we're all about the movies! Not only do we break down this year's Oscars, but we also have an interview with film director & writer Patrick Meaney.

Patrick is an award-winning filmmaker who has explored the art of storytelling documentary films like 'Grant Morrison: Talking With Gods', 'Neil Gaiman: Dream Dangerously' and 'The Image Revolution'. His films have appeared on Netflix, Starz, Hulu and Amazon Prime, and have played at festivals around the world. He also co-created the comic book series 'Last Born' for Black Mask Studios.

'House of Demons' is his first narrative feature as a director, and follows Gwen, Matthew, Katrina, and Spencer. They were best friends for years, until a terrible tragedy tore them apart, and left all of them in a state of arrested development. Ten years later, they're reunited for a destination wedding to stay together in a rented house. What they don't know is in the late 60s, the house was home to a Manson Family-like cult, run by Frazer, a charismatic former scientist pushing the boundaries of human consciousness.

His experiments echo through time and manifest everyone's darkest fears and memories before them as time blurs and Frazer's cult and the present day collide. Over the course of one long night, everyone must confront their darkness or be destroyed by it.

The film stars Amber Benson ('Buffy the Vampire Slayer'), Kaytlin Borgen ('Hawaii Five-0'), Morgan Peter Brown ('Castle', 'Parks and Recreation'), Dove Meir ('DIG'), Chloe Dykstra ('Heroes of Cosplay'), Tiffany Smith ('DC All Access'), Taliesin Jaffe ('Critical Role'), Whitney Moore ('Birdemic'), and Jeff Torres ('Pitch').
