A new trailer for the upcoming documentary Brooklyn Castle has been released.

The movie follows the chess team at a school in Brooklyn, though unlike most chess teams—consisting of kids typecast as “nerds” or “outcasts”—this particular team is the school’s star “jocks,” having won more national championships than any other school. But the movie is not just about chess; it’s also about the struggles of these below-the-poverty-line kids, as well as the damage being caused by budgetary cuts to their extracurricular activities.

You can check out the trailer for Brooklyn Castle, which hits select theaters on October 19th, by heading below now.

The nineteenth episode of The Geeks Of Doom Round Up is here, and this week, Andy takes a look at an awesome and amusing trailer for the upcoming film Seven Psychopaths, directed by Martin McDonagh and starring Colin Farrell amongst an all-star cast. Later, Greg tips the hat to fellow Geeks Of Doom contributor, Stoogeypedia, for his recent Top Vinyl Rock Records Of The ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s feature, and we play from his list, "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" by the kings of metal themselves, Black Sabbath.

Later in the show, we take a look at The 10 Best Films of 2012 So Far, from an article by Famous Monster. We also recommend the new feature here at Geeks Of Doom called If BAADASSSSS! Controlled The Universe, and in the first edition, he examines (in an alternative universe), an unfinished version of The Expendables from 1976!
