Kevin Geeks Out joins The Alamo Drafthouse

by Kevin on

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.”

Celebrate Shark Week with Kevin Maher and Matt Glasson

by Kevin on



Just in time for Shark Week — Kevin & Matt Geek Out About Shark Movies returns to Brooklyn.  We’re bringing the show to Videology

Click HERE for details and tickets. 

KEVIN & MATT GEEK OUT ABOUT SHARK MOVIES

Thursday August 8th @ 8:00pm

at VIDEOLOGY 
308 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn NY 






Kevin and Matt Geek Out about SHARK MOVIES! is an obsessive look at dozens of classic (and some not-so-classic) movies from JAWS toSHARKNADO and almost everything in between. The hosts revisit the all-but-forgotten pre-JAWS films (dating back to the 1930’s). They sink their teeth into JAWSPLOITATION knock-offs, the sanctioned sequels, cable-TV documentaries and more contemporary CGI killer shark movies. Kevin and Matt also dissect the films that tried to be the next big blockbuster by substituting a Great White with a giant alligator, a man-eating octopus or a killer grizzly bear. Plus they showcase jaw-dropping clips from films that feature gratuitous shark scenes in non-Shark movies. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Shark geek-out without looking back at the hit TV show that literally jumped the shark.
