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.

Commando
It's time to let off some steam, and enjoy some 'macho b******t', as we tackle 1985's action romp, Commando!
It's one of Morgan's favourite films, and Tom's only seen it once (years ago, because Morgan made him). But how does it hold up nearly 40 years later?
We discuss the making of the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic, as well as its impressive cast, bonkers plot and talks of a sequel.
We also drunkenly chat about:
The one-off villain that was Bennett and all his fabulous-nessWhy it's the perfect pre-wedding filmHow it stole a line from James BondDid Bill Duke call Arnie 'pig ass' or 'big ass'?Tina Turner's excellent 'Thunderdome' anthem

Goodnight Sweetheart
A romantic sci-fi time travel sitcom, you say?
For this episode, we travel back to 1993 and the British comedy series Goodnight Sweetheart, centred around Gary Sparrow, a TV repairman who finds himself able to travel between 1990s and 1940s London via a magical alleyway.
From Gary's questionable morals to Nicholas Lyndhurst's surprisingly great singing voice, we tackle one of British comedy's strangest premises, yet an underrated show that deserves a second look.
We also discuss:
The show's complicated time travel rules - is it more Lost or Terminator?Birds of a Feather's strangely sullen introIs bigamy OK if it's in two different eras? Gary would say soWas Gary's wife in the '90s all that bad?How it might have been in the same cinematic universe as another British sitcom classicDid Gary solve one of the greatest serial killer mysteries of all time?Why Ballykissangel made us both very angryCould it return?

Customer Reviews
Review by Stew Maceye
What other podcast could take you from Terrahawks in the first episode, to The Lake House in the latest one? With more episodes than the God Of Gamblers and The Scorpion King franchises combined. They cover subjects from Predator to Point & Click Adventues, Buck Rogers to Bucky O'Hare and Pogs to Pwoirot. Tom & Morgan are up there for me with my favourite actors - Chris Barrie, Josh Holloway and especially - Arnold Vosloo. It might be Presumptuaous, but the biggest compliment I could give them, is to say their podcast really bites into your history. Way to go duuudes. Alriiight!
Instant listen
Extremely amusing podcast - if you enjoy TCGTE then you’ll enjoy this. Genuinely funny whilst also full of branching geek wisdom! Instant listen for me. Keep it going!
I came … and I stayed
Before Christmas I was looking for podcasts on The Box of Delights and found these two. I very much enjoy listening to them talking about the different media and also the rabbit holes they go down. Subscribed.
