Actress and host Marisha Ray makes her much deserved Geekscape debut! She talks about her projects 'Super Power Beat Down' and 'Batgirl: Spoiled'!

Also, how wearing a spirit hood absolutely makes you less of a man and Marisha and I review 'Thor 2: The Dark World'! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

From The Walking Dead to Left 4 Dead and World War Z to Rob Zombie,Zombies are everywhere these days (well, at least in pop culture).

Everyone loves Godzilla, Power Rangers, Ultra-Man, Rodan, Kamen Rider and Giant Robots! And recently, Hollywood has gotten in on the act with Kaiju and Giant Robot films like Pacific Rim and next summer’s Godzilla film.

DeSanto (Cyborg 009), Tommy Yune (Robotech), George Krstic (Star Wars: The Clone Wars) and Gregory Snegoff (Robotech) for an in-depth discussion on the past, present, future and Americanization of Kaiju and Japanese Men in Suit properties.

The next game in the Batman Arkham series hits next week with 'Batman: Arkham Origins'! But this time there are some changes!
