After almost a year of the North East accents, squabbles and over-the-top jingles, the festivities end with North East Geek Feast episode 8…

STARTER - Daniel and Lily introduce the last episode of North East Geek Feast and thank everyone that helped out with the podcast over the last year.

Dessert - The ‘Ultimate Crisis of Comics’ with Martin Eden. With all the comics in the universe being wiped out of existence, Spandex and O Men creator, Martin, is given the opportunity to save 4 single comic book issues to treasure forever - and one issue he would make sure gets destroyed.

February 02, 2011 Scrolls Book Group: The Prestige
With a flash of light and a cloud of smoke the Scrolls Book Group reappears on stage to entertain and amaze you. (Or at the very least distract you from the smelly tramp in the corner, the squalling kid in the back and that really creepy looking guy on the seat opposite - No, don't look!)Ably assisted by Kehaar from Dissecting Worlds and guest contributer Gazbox in their skin-tight golden bikinis, we take a focussed look at Chistopher Priest's most celebrated work,The Prestige. You may have watched Christopher Nolan's film adaptation and think you've seen this trick before but trust us, there's a whole lot more going on in the wings.There are spoilers throughout - we couldn't really avoid them - but have we really revealed the authors secrets... or has he left us bamboozled and looking in the wrong direction?Read the book, listen in to our thoughts, then let us know what you think.

January 24, 2011 Scrolls Chapter 11: Bad Ol' Baddies

In which the most abominable, darkest, nastiest, blackest, vilest, most repellant, disgusting and disgraceful podcasters return to chat about baddies. Duh!

Technically we take a shifty at what makes for a good villain and how they've changed through the years, then we run amok trying to pin down all the different types and sub-types.

In reality of course, we ramble off topic, fudge our lines and make things about as difficult for an editor as you can hope to imagine. It was all them, yer honour. Honest...

Out of pure spite I've left a c-bomb in so you can all hear what a filthy brute Mattie is in real life. For shame!

I could list out all the books and occasional films mentioned so you know what you're getting into, but where would be the fun in that? Discover what weird and random directions our twisted talk takes us by downloading this episode and injecting us... into your brains!

You can send your outraged tweets to us @Scrollscast or @Dion_Scrolls

Alternatively you can send your splenetic e-mails to us at [email protected]

or... simply assault us physically at the SFX Weekender on the first weekend of February.

If your rage is aimed solely at me (Dion) I can also be punched at the Cardiff International Comics Expo on 26th Feb.

This week the bi-polar pair of good and EVIL tackle a big beast in the form of Middle Earth and it's greatest war. In the course of their discussions they'll discuss the Fellowship as a commando strike force, logistics, Romans, how many Orcs is a lot and where are the Rangers hiding in history. This leads to rants on Longbow fetishish, pondering Saruman as a power gaming wargamer, what do the Harad get out of all this and of course Romans. On the way they discuss The First Law Trilogy and Legend as alternative views of fantasy warfare and a bit of Swords and Scorcery too. Of and there is also a discussion of kinds of Magic. Please talk about it on the forums, talk to us about it on twitter (@DissectingWrlds, @Clarkythecruel for Kehaar and @theGrampus for Matt or email [email protected] We also welcome suggestions for new series and epsiode topics are next series being on gender and sexuality. If anyone knows any Tolkien or fantasy fan groups please let them know about the epsiode. That'd be lovely.
