Geek Syndicate

Pete and Steve are back once again! This time to review The Wrecking Crew from 2026 starring Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista. We discuss the unusual origin story of the film, the cast, the odd villain and this film's place in action movie history and how the genre has changed and adapted over the years.

Merry February y'all, and welcome to another fine installment of Stace & Barry In The Morning!

This month, Barry is on a mission to wreck fools with The Wrecking Crew, Stace gets Lost In New Jersey, and the pair share their thoughts on Wonder Man. All this, plus more Bear McCreary goodness, the return of Percy Jackson, Absolute Wonder Woman, a bunch of TMNT news, and He-Man!

Pop the kettle on and enjoy as part of a balanced geeky breakfast.

It's 2026 and Monts (finding the time between getting hit in the face with multiple custard pies in panto) and Nuge bring in the new year with more geek fun than you can shake a lightsaber at.
