Kevin Geeks Out About...Dummy Deaths!  
Kevin Geeks Out About...Dummy Deaths!Part of the series Kevin Geeks Out.

Kevin Geeks Out is the comedy-variety show hosted by writer-comedian Kevin Maher – a monthly confabulation of vintage film clips and videos, new finds, guest experts, games and curiosities. To geek out with Kevin you don’t need to be a geek, you just need to love cool stuff. Since 2008, Kevin has geeked out with 16 different installments of his video variety night to fill those gaps in your education about Bigfoot! – Robots! – Video Games! – Frankenstein! – Batman! – KISS! – Hulk! – and in last month’s show, Vincent Price!

This month, Kevin Geeks Out about Dummy Deaths! Those quick instances where a stuntman is replaced with a disposable doppelganger; the moment when the baton of existence is passed from human actor to inert fascimile.

Kevin is joined by The Flying Maciste Brothers (the founders of Destructibleman.com, a website devoted to dummy deaths on film)—Howard S. Berger and Kevin Marr. The trio of geek-scholars examine Prosthetic Demise in everything from low-budget b-movies to Hollywood Blockbusters, including silent films, classic westerns, Kung-Fu cinema, 1970’s crime dramas, Italian Horror, futuristic science-fiction—even industrial training films. Plus special guests:

•       Actor Matt Mitler shows his scenes from 1985’s The Mutilator.

•       Director Matthew Glasson shares the secrets about using blood-filled rubber heads in his film The Family Tie.

•       Blogger Rumsey Taylor shares the best 80s VHS dummy deaths.

•       And Quiz-master Noah Tarnow challenges the crowd with dummy-based trivia.

All this, plus dozens of clips with plummeting, burning, exploding dummies dying for your entertainment.
