Two Geeks Two Beers

For this episode, we’re diving into the world of the one and only Judge Dredd, where one man stands between order and chaos – and he’s got a killer jawline!

Morgan is taking Tom through a mini history lesson of the famous franchise, from its comic book beginnings to its big screen adaptations starring Sylvester Stallone and Karl Urban.

We discuss everything from Stallone's amazing delivery as Dredd, a surprising British tabloid newspaper's connection to the series, its inspiration from a crude reggae star and much more.

And a big shoutout to our latest Patreon supporters: Bill Gudde and Tom Rye!

We're most definitely not in Kansas anymore...

For this episode, Tom is terrifying and confusing Morgan in equal measure, as he looks back at the 1985 unofficial sequel, Return to Oz.

From the nightmare fuel that was the Wheelies, to the bonkers behind-the-scenes goings on to even get this film made, we discuss at length how the project came about, all its cast and characters, and what people think of it today.

Looky-looky, we’ve got Hooky!

For this episode, Morgan takes Tom back to 1991 and the history of the classic Peter Pan movie Hook, starring the late great Robin Williams.

In the episode, we drunkenly discuss:

• Our genuine surprise at the movie's bad reviews
• How Michael Jackson could have been Peter Pan
• Was Rufio cool or lame?
• The underrated brilliance of Bob Hoskins
• Why Thudbutt was the greatest cinema character of all time
• The incredible food scene

We go full '90s nostalgia in this latest Two Geeks episode, as we look back at the Mighty Max toys!

We also discuss:

• Was Max's dad somewhat irresponsible?
• Max's origins in Polly Pocket
• Morgan's 'enormous head'
• Why Tom threw away all his toys
• The harrowing TV finale episode

And yes, Tom hasn't seen it.

We discuss:

• The bizarre chart history of Crazy Frog (There's a link, trust us)

"When Eric eats a banana..."

For this episode, Tom teaches Morgan all about a very British superhero, Eric Wimp aka Bananaman!

From his Nutty magazine beginnings to its potential movie spinoff, we delve into the history of the loveable, if rather inept at times, Bananaman.

Surprised that TV the episodes were only 5 minutes long, we also rewatch and react to the first episode.

We discuss:

• Who's better? Superman or Bananaman?
• Who the heck was Peter Pest?
• Where does Superman hide his cape?
• Who knew crows liked bananas?
• Was Bill Oddie a naturist or a naturalist?

We don't need another beer-o...

For this episode, Morgan teaches Tom all about the history of the Mad Max film franchise, starting with 1979's Mad Max starring Mel Gibson, and continuing to 2024's latest instalment.

From surprising music influences to dodgy American dubs, this franchise has had it all over the past few decades.

We also discuss:

• Mel Gibson's surprising age in What Women Want
• The 'other' Brian May
• Why didn't Eminem act again?
• Mad Max's bizarre timeline

Just one more thing...

For this episode, Tom teaches Morgan about possibly the world's greatest TV detective: Columbo, played by the brilliant Peter Falk.

We look back at the history of the iconic American TV cop show, its epic origins and surprising facts.

We also discuss:

• The incredible lineup of guest stars from Dick Van Dyke to Johnny Cash
• How do YOU say 'Murder, She Wrote'?
• Can Morgan do a good Peter Falk impression?
• Why Columbo didn't get a proper ending
• What is his first name?

In a time before the MCU, before X-Men, before even Blade, it was the mid-90s. Comic book adaptations were ropey at best.

One such example at trying to put superheroes on screen was this forgotten TV movie: Generation X.

Based on the Marvel comic of the same name, this X-Men spinoff didn't quite set the world alight. In this episode, Morgan explains why.

We discuss:

• More dodgy accents Don Cheadle would be proud of
• Where did the budget go?
• The brilliance of Sweet Valley High's theme tune
• The strange use of 'Muffin Man' as an insult
• Why Stretch Armstrong is a better superhero than Skin
