 Lady Robot as Femme Fatale

A discussion on the lady robot as femme fatale asked the question: is the femme fatale a strong female character or a sexist stereotype. Later someone asked "Why can't it be both at the same time?" That's what we explore in Kevin Geeks Out.

Kevin Geeks Out About LADY ROBOTS

The August KEVIN GEEKS OUT show is all about Lady Robots: a virtual parade of female robots from the last 100 years of science fiction, featuring Frisky Fembots of the 1960s, Cyber-clones of the ‘20s, Killer Androids of the ‘80s and much more.

This show spotlights ass-kicking killbots and seductive replicants, plus electric grandmothers and feminist revolutionaries. Kevin and guests explore the question: what does a wholly manufactured woman want, and what will she do to get it?

with Co-Host Tom Blunt and special guests: 

Cici James (owner of Singularity & Co. sci-fi bookstore) 

Moon Ribas (co-founder, The Cyborg Foundation)

Seth Porges (technology writer/editor) 

Jenn Northington (co-founder, Bookrageous)

The Kevin Geeks Out Show is teaming up with the coolest movie theater in America: The Alamo Drafthouse. 

The first show will be Saturday October 19th at the Yonkers Cinema. (Click HERE for tickets.) When you get tickets you'll choose a specific seat. The event starts at 7:30 but you can arrive at 7:00 and order some food or drinks, which are served during the show. 

KEVIN GEEKS OUT is a live video-variety show that obsesses over some of the greatest topics in pop culture. The event brings together rare videos, guest experts and trivia prizes. Since 2008, Kevin has geeked out with 26 different shows including Bigfoot, Robots, Alien Encounters, Professional Wrestling, Dummy Deaths and Visions of the Future. 

The October 19th show is ALL ABOUT EVIL and features film clips and special presentations about evil clowns, evil computers, evil rocks bands and more. 


Host/comedian Kevin Maher welcomes special guests: 
Clown Matt Wilson
Comedian Rusty Ward
Filmmaker Matthew Glasson
Cult Blogger Tenebrous Kate
Variety Show host Tom Blunt


This world-famous Alamo Drafthouse is the perfect home for the Kevin Geeks Out series. "I've had some excellent times seeing special events at the Drafthouse," Kevin Maher said during a recent press conference that really did happen and isn't something he just made up here. "I attended Phantasmania -- where they showed all four Phantasm movies over the course of three midnight shows, with cast and crew present. And I was there for Bruce Campbellpalooza. The Alamo Drafthouse was an influence on the Kevin Geeks Out show, so it's perfect that we team up now that they're in New York."

Photoshopped Penguin Signs

December is lovely in Carroll Gardens Brooklyn, partly because so many of my neighbors decorate their front yards. 

Every day I'd walk by this inflatable penguin and think of something else for the sign to say (i.e. "Global Warming is REAL!")

I decided to ask the Facebook community to help photoshop this image.

Kevin Geeks Out About Dream Sequences (sort of)

How often do you get to produce a show with one of your favorite people/ inspiring peers?

Next Friday I'm getting to do just that, with the always wonderful Tom Blunt.  He's has been hosting MEET THE LADY an excellent video variety show.  (named after Tom's photo blog about women he would like to meet.) 

This month he invited me to co-host and co-curate the show.

MEET THE LADY is like my "Kevin Geeks Out" series, a video variety show arranged around a theme, with guest speakers/performers, rare film clips, trivia and prizes.

The March 25th show is all about that wonderful trope: THE  DREAM SEQUENCE.  Our 2-hour extravaganza will include dozens of clips, plus:

About KEVIN MAHER

Kevin Maher is an Emmy-nominated comedy writer, whose work has been seen on HBO, AMC, CNN, Comedy Central, VH1, TV One, FEARNet, and Nickelodeon.  His short films have been shown everywhere from MOMA to Troma, with screenings outside of Sundance and Cannes.


WATCH KEVIN'S REEL

Working with Kanbar Entertainment, Kevin co-authored seven treatments for animated feature films, developed two animated television series and co-wrote a sequel/Holiday special to the hit animated movie Hoodwinked!

Kevin created three original web-series including AMC's The Sci Fi Department (short-listed for a Webby) and Comedy Central/Atom's Old People News.

On stage Kevin created the multi-media shows Video Vaudeville and Kevin Geeks Out, a monthly confabulation of vintage film clips, guest experts, interactive games and curiosities.  Over the course of the run, Kevin "geeked out" about Bigfoot, Robots, KISS, Video Games,  Dummy Deaths, Alien Encounters and Batman. (For that show he wrote 100 haiku about Batman.) The show was a favorite of critics, from The New York Times to Scientific American.

Before that, he performed solo comedies including the off-Broadway show "Lone Drifter."  Before that, he was one-third of the sketch comedy trio TV Head.

Journalists have compared Kevin to Ernie Kovacs and Jonathan Winters, but his highest praise came from Tiger Beat who called him "funny!"
