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?

Cici James (owner of Singularity & Co. sci-fi bookstore)
Moon Ribas (co-founder, The Cyborg Foundation)
Seth Porges (technology writer/editor)

Time for the next installment of KEVIN GEEKS OUT. This month’s show is all about SUPER VILLAINS.
A story is only as good as its villain, so comedian Kevin Maher takes an obsessive look at some of the best and worst super villains. This two-hour multi-media show includes a virtual parade of power-mad perverts, bald villains, cartoon criminals, Satanic weirdoes, wrestling heels and more.
Kevin is joined by co-host Tenebrous Kate (creator of My Dream Date with a Villain) and a diabolical line-up of special guests, including
• Illustrator Becky Munich (“Monster Activity Book”)
• Writer Nick Nadel (truTV, IFC.com),
• Doctor Maureen Mararese
• Filmmaker Paul Murphy (Red Obsession)
• Professor Geoff Klock (“The Future of Comics, The Future of Men”)
All this, plus trivia prizes, lame super-villains and even some V.I.L.F.s

New York Times coverage of KEVIN GEEKS OUT
“Feast your eyes on this” my 7-year-old told me and revealed his latest masterpiece: a Lego playset based on Edgar Allen Poe’s THE RAVEN.
My kid first got into Poe via YouTube’s Epic Rap Battles of History (there’s a video where Stephen King faces off with Poe.)
The series begins Thursday June 25th with KEVIN GEEKS OUT about ANIMAL ATTACKS, keeping with the KGO tradition there will be dozens of film clips presented by special guests. (Order tickets in advance HERE, the show will sell-out.)
KGO shows continue once a month, with a different theme each month.
You can save the summer dates:
Thursday July 30th @ 9:30
Thursday August 27th @ 9:30
Thursday September 17th @ 9:30

KEVIN GEEKS OUT ABOUT ANIMAL ATTACKS
A two-hour video variety show of rare footage and pop culture commentary. 
Kids learn various bits of pop-culture, including references to the R-rated world of grown-up movies. On the playground my 7-year-old learned about THE SHINING. (Which he immediately recognized from a TREEHOUSE OF HORROR parody.) Anyway, my boy has an idea for sequel (I guess his friend didn’t tell him about DOCTOR SLEEP.)
Stephen Root’s performance as Milton Wadkins — is it Ernie Kovacs Percy Dovetonsils (which, may have been a parody of author Truman Capote?)
