Geek Syndicate

HAPPY FLIPPIN' NEW YEAR! (Is it too late in January to say that now? Answers on a photo of a postcard, please...)

Welcome to the first Stace & Barry of 2020, and as ever it's chock full of morning geeky goodness. Grab a coffee and listen in as Stace swipes Barry's Moment of Geekdom like one of those people that can whip a tablecloth out from under a load of crockery, Barry enjoys some side scrolling duel gun action, and they both toot John Williams' horn.

And here at the turn of the tide we come back to you.

Right now we've got the Lord of the Rings nod out of the way we can crack on. Monts and Nuge pull off a Christmas miracle by managing to squeeze in an episode before the end of the year.

The lads throw out their normal formatting to just have a catch up on everything they've watched and read over the last few months.

Nuge suggests a radical solution to spoilers (and no it has nothing to do with time travel).

Week that was

Seis Manos

Rolled a One

Dungeon Fun

The Question: The deaths of vic sage

Kingdom

The Boys

Russian Doll

Into the Badlands

The Mandolrian (Don't worry no spoilers)

Doom Patrol

Swamp Thing

The Expanse

Pennysworth

And more!

To celebrate the last episode of the decade Steve and Scott discuss some of their favourite movies, TV shows and comics from the last ten years. Here's to the next ten years of podcasting!

They're back baby! Join Stace & Barry as they get mildly festive but not quite festive enough to be a Christmas episode. Or perhaps further research needs to be done?... Anyhoo, get ready for some serious love for fantasy TV, animation, and some top notch TV themes, as well as a brief bit of singing! Also, will Stace and Barry ever pronounce a name right on first try?! Who knows.

Barry and Scott went (separately) to experience Secret Cinema does Casino Royale back in August. In this show they discuss in detail their experiences of the event and the phenomenon that is Secret Cinema.

Welcome to the Stace and Barry kinda but not really Halloween special.

In the red corner Stace goes off to see Ninja Sex Party and checks out the Watchmen TV series.

In the blue corner Barry goes back to school with the Stormhaven Techs: Tales from the Prep Room comic.

The dynamic duo also unveil a new segment 'Behind the Book Corner with Stace'. The only small problem is Stace has no idea what the segment is about before she tackles 'Authority' the second book in the Southern Reach Trilogy.

So put down that egg and bacon sarnie and listen in!

This is Bags of Action. The podcast devoted to action movies, both old and new, but all of them are awesome! In this episode Steve and Pete talk about the third instalment in the John Wick franchise starring Keanu Reeves, Lawrence Fishburne, Ian McShane and big cast of familiar faces. How will this film live up to the previous two films? There's already news of a franchise spin off TV show about the Continental hotels and news of a 4th film, so this isn't the end.
