Geek Syndicate

We apologise for the general apathy and lethargy displayed during episode 7. This was due to circumstances (alcohol) beyond our control. Anyway in this episode we discuss the delights of some of the games on the Xbox 360 namely Dead Rising (a teddy bear as an offensive weapon surely not), Gears of War and Rainbow Six Las Vegas. The upcoming Preacher TV series is discussed as well the new Starship Troopers movie. Dave rants about the Sony mp3 player and Barry finally blows his top over Smallville. Several new Tv soundtracks are also mentioned. In the middle of all of this we do our most difficult review so far�the last ever (barring the epilogue) issue of Planetary and out thoughts on the series as a whole (minor spoilers). Oops.. nearly forget and the competition winner is announced.

In episode 6 we respond to some listener comments regarding the new Robin Hood tv show (SPOILER ALERT).

We discuss what we think of heroes so far and reveal some casting news for the show. We also cover the upcoming Buffy season eight comic. There are also our thoughts on the new Rocky movie, the worldstorm comics and the Minx range of comics being aimed at the teenage girl market.

The final nail is hammered into Garth Ennis' Boys. A listener is surprised with an impromptu phone call...so remember next time it could be you! Also for the first time we actually discuss some gaming namely Superman Returns and Marvel Ultimate Alliance (Dr Strange rules!!) on the Xbox 360.

Finally the name's Syndicate...Geek Syndicate. At last we review Casino Royale (MILD SPOILER ALERT).

So we are 10 podcasts in and by now you must be wondering what happens after an episode ends. Well wait no more in this special episode the skype recording software was left running without Dave's knowledge and we decided to put out the results.

Learn what the Worldstorm is as well as our concerns about the Boys. We also cover Star Wars Legacy, The Exterminators, DMZ and the Walking Dead. We also decided just whose side were on with Marvel's Civil War.

By the end of this episode you will also learn just what the Geek Syndicate fears the most, even more than lions or nutters who think they are werewolves.

Apologies to listeners who don't read comics as this special is nearly all about comics. Give it a listen anyway you may like what you hear...enjoy.

In this episode we celebrate our 10th podcast. Now we know this is our 5th episode but with our special episodes this makes ten. We also wanted something to celebrate so there! Anyway after the fanfare or lack of dies down we get back to our mission of talking crap.

We reveal our plans to save the Halo movie, a new sword and sorcery animated film with a seriously epic voice cast. The potential train wreck that could be Babylon 5 The Lost Tales is covered. If it's sex, politics and intrigue with a sci fi slant you after we look at the upcoming Battlestar Galactica spin off Capica.

For our special feature we drag Shane Chebsey, one of the organisers of next month's Birmingham comic show kicking and screaming off the street to discuss such loft topics as Booze, the thin line between geeks and psychos, why Ultimate Avengers is so crap oh and some stuff about his work with small press and some exclusive insight and information on next month's comic show.

Yes and once again we bitch about Smallville and Torchwood.

Years passed and rumours began to rumble through the outland kingdoms about a pair of fearless adventurers. Warriors, who roamed trackless deserts, mighty mountains and shining seas. These rumours grew into legends about these men who were at once; buccaneers, slaves, rouges and now Geeks for hire.

This is the tale of the time the Geek Syndicate crossed swords with the keeper of the vaults of Telos. Their quest was to find classic sword and sorcery movies lost in the mists of time and space. To discard the unworthy (dungeons and dragons) and bring back the treasured few (Lord of the rings, Conan, Excalibur) for the whole kingdom to enjoy, no matter the risk.

Come with me now and listen to a Podcast of high adventure!

In this episode we argue over...sorry I mean we discuss and debate in an intelligent manner the merits of a talking yoda mug vs a talking usb tardis.

We have a few listener shout outs before celebrating the demise of the Fantastic Four cartoon. We give a brief nod to fallen heroes in this case Jack Palance and composer Basis Poledouris
