WARNING: This interview contains major spoilers for the final season and series finale of ‘The Boys’.

On this episode of Geektown Talks To, Dave Elliott chats with Emmy-nominated sound effects editor and sound designer Russell Topal about bringing the gloriously violent world of ‘The Boys’ to life.

Russell joined the Prime Video series for Season 4 before returning for its fifth and final season, earning an Emmy nomination for his work on the series finale, ‘Blood and Bone’. He discusses the challenge of inheriting the show’s established sonic identity, developing the sounds of its superpowers, and ensuring that a room full of battling Supes doesn’t become one exhausting wall of noise.

We also discover why Eric Kripke’s notes usually involve making things wetter and more disgusting, how some very ordinary materials became some extremely unusual body parts, and which new characters gave Russell the greatest creative challenge.

Away from ‘The Boys’, Russell talks about working on the global phenomenon ‘KPop Demon Hunters’, creating the more grounded world of the ‘Yellowstone’ franchise, and offers a tantalising clue about his next project.

This week on Geektown Talks To…, Dave Elliott sits down with Graham Yost, showrunner of Apple TV’s acclaimed sci-fi drama ‘Silo’.

With Season 3 approaching its finale, some of the huge questions hanging over the series are finally beginning to get answers. Graham talks about the challenge of making those answers as satisfying as the mysteries which came before them, and why Hugh Howey’s original novels gave him confidence that the story could deliver on its promises.

We also discuss the challenges of adapting the second novel, keeping Rebecca Ferguson’s Juliette at the centre of the television series, and why memory became such an important part of Season 3.

Graham also takes us behind the writing process for Season 3’s two timelines, explains how the team decided where to jump between them, and reveals just how far ahead they were able to plan the show’s four-season story.

And, without spoiling anything, there are still some very big answers coming. Graham teases a “huge reveal” in the opening episode of Season 4 and gives us an indication of when we might finally see the concluding season.

Plus, for those listening via the Geektown Radio feed, Dave has an update on when the main show will finally return after its post-Episode 500 break.

Geektown Radio returns 15th September 2026.

Geek culture got what it wanted.

The stories once dismissed as disposable became global entertainment. The budgets arrived. The conventions became marketing stages. The films, shows and worlds fans fought to protect became permanent.

But permanence is a strange kind of victory.

Beginning in the cinema after ‘Avengers: Endgame’, Dave looks back across Geekstorians Season 3 and asks what it means to live inside a culture where beloved stories are no longer allowed to disappear, but may no longer be allowed to finish either.

This is not a funeral for modern geek culture, or an argument that everything was better when the room was smaller. It is about the complicated space between stories and franchises, love and infrastructure, meaningful endings and endless continuation.

Because the love was real. It still is. And while the machine can use that love, it can never fully manufacture it.

‘Nothing Ever Ends’ is the Season 3 finale of Geekstorians, hosted by Dave Elliott from Geektown.
