In this episode, we hear from Glyn Davies, shoulder rubber of the stars.

We talk about his love of films, where it all started and why they mean so much to him. It has led to various other hobbies, including collecting memorabilia, autographs and other collectables over the years. 
He shares with us how he's phased in and out of different hobbies and collections as life has had its natural peaks and troughs.

Glyn also shared with us how he's met so many stars and has in fact built friendships with some of his idols and stars of the silver screen. As someone who has volunteered at multiple cons and been to many events, it's no surprise Glyn has spotted many celebrities, but as we learn, it goes much further than you would expect!

Something a little different today. I'm proud to bring you an episode from the new show 'A Dummies Guide to Geekdom' which will bring you quick refresher lessons on everything from geek culture.
To celebrate the release of the New film, 'Black Adam' Spider-Dan joins us to prepare everyone and answer the question 'who is Black Adam?'

First appearing in 1945 as a creation of Otto Binder and C.C. Beck for Fawcett comics, today's character took a slightly strange route to be the star of a DC movie. Dan gives us an insight into his creation, background and the changes he's had along the way. We also get the crystal ball out as Dan looks at what we may be looking to expect from a movie franchise.
Whether you're going to watch the film or just want to know what people are talking about, this is the episode for you.
