Geek Syndicate

Amy and Stacey welcome you to Episode 4, A New Hope, no no sorry Episode 1 the Phantom Podcast... erm hang on I'll start again. Welcome to Episode 1 of our brand new podcast If You Like This. If you need comic suggestions we're your girls. This episode we suggest comics to enjoy with the theme of Politics, Law and Order. Please suggest more topics to us at @ifyoulikethis on Twitter or email us at [email protected]

Finally the Dissecting Worlds pair get back on the beat and bring together the conclusions from series 2 on Law & Order and Crime & Punishment in this bumper episode. In so doing they look at the subject in Vampire fiction. They consider the seperation of the Judicary in genre fiction. Ask why does Jonah.J.Jameson hate spiderman? They also ponder the relationship between Babylon 5 security and the Chief Constable of South Wales. Sigmund Freud and TV's Sherlock help with enquiries, and Starfleet Security's job spec is considered. On the way they also consider the shady godlen dagger wielding almost respectable genre cousin of Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Horror - Crime Fiction & telly - CSI ends up walking into a door taking the jury system with it and Morse may fall down some stairs. Harry Potter, Capes and Tights and Dredd also guest star, With some parochial Marvel movie news. Ed McBain & She Hulk are mentioned in dispatches. Kehhar gets confused bettween honor/guilt culture (refering to honour and face which are the same thing - the dolt!) & gets told off by his wife. It's just like an early epsiode of the Sweeney really but without the smoking. They might even mention The Wire in an epsiode with more conclusions than the Return of the King movie. Email:[email protected] or twit Grampus @theGrampus or Kehaar @Clarkythecruel for feedback. Further opinionated nonsense available at Matt's Tolkien Gestures column on the geek syndicate site and roleplaying/wargaming rubbish from Kehaar at http://clarkythecruel.wordpress.com/ The excellent Harker mentioned is available from here: http://www.arielpress.com/about.html
