In this episode of Film Geeks, we dive into two surprise standouts that caught us completely off guard.

First, we break down Marvel’s Wonder Man, starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Ben Kingsley—why it works, why it feels refreshingly human, and how it delivers some of Marvel’s most relatable character development in years. From anxiety and ambition to friendship and purpose, this series hits deeper than expected.

Then we get into Send Help, a Sam Raimi–directed survival thriller that starts light and spirals fast. What looks like a rom-com stranded-on-an-island setup quickly turns into psychological horror, manipulation, and power flips that left us stunned.

We also wrap with a fun debate on classic coming-of-age comedies, reflect on iconic performances, and talk about what makes stories truly rewatchable.
