Tom and Morgan are two mates who love talking nonsense about pop culture, while also enjoying a beer. We've taken our drunken ramblings from the pub to the studio to teach each other about all kinds of films, TV shows, video games and more. From '80s cartoons to '90s kids shows, action film franchises to cult games, we'll chat about anything remotely geek-related, often with plenty of confusion, bickering and fond nostalgia.

Bananaman
"When Eric eats a banana..."
For this episode, Tom teaches Morgan all about a very British superhero, Eric Wimp aka Bananaman!
From his Nutty magazine beginnings to its potential movie spinoff, we delve into the history of the loveable, if rather inept at times, Bananaman.

We discuss:
Who's better? Superman or Bananaman?Who the heck was Peter Pest?Where does Superman hide his cape?Who knew crows liked bananas?Was Bill Oddie a naturist or a naturalist?

Generation X
In a time before the MCU, before X-Men, before even Blade, it was the mid-90s. Comic book adaptations were ropey at best.
One such example at trying to put superheroes on screen was this forgotten TV movie: Generation X.
Based on the Marvel comic of the same name, this X-Men spinoff didn't quite set the world alight. In this episode, Morgan explains why.
We discuss:
More dodgy accents Don Cheadle would be proud ofWhere did the budget go?The brilliance of Sweet Valley High's theme tuneThe strange use of 'Muffin Man' as an insultWhy Stretch Armstrong is a better superhero than Skin

Hi
Hi
Learning things against my better wishes!
Terrific podcast, stuck on a 6 month tour and it’s been my absolute saviour. I never thought I’d walk away from a podcast knowing the phone number to live and kicking… but here we are.
Top drawer geeking
Stumbled across this a month or so ago looking for the (still absolutely banging) theme tune to to Ulysses 31. Several trips back to my youth later, I’m a huge fan. Highlight for me was finally finding out what happened in the last episode of Quantum Leap, as back in 1993 I’d set the timer on the VCR only to find out that a football match had delayed the start, and so it chopped off the last 5 minutes. Thanks lads.
