We are still joined by resident non geek Amaechi as we discuss He man, Jericho, pretend bionic fights, the Book of Eli, The Pirates of the Caribbean demo for the Xbox 360 and why movie to game tie ins are so crap. Dave's lack of invisible fighting skills is called into question as Amaechi reveals his secret past as an invisible cage fighter. In our main feature we chat about what fictional places we'd like to visit and those we wouldn't want to be caught dead in. The chat goes all over the place...enjoy. Apologies for some of the sound distortion on this episode we had the recording levels too high I reckon...oops.

We conclude our coverage of the 2007 Bristol Con (Dry those tears, we still have the Birmingham Con in October). We hand out some awards to some of the comedy legends we met at the Con. Later on in the evening Dave takes us on a whistle stop tour around the bar chatting with a bevy of women who attended the con who many different reasons. This drunken idea of Dave's actually turned out a lot more interesting, thought provoking and funny than you would think. Enjoy...

It's the Bristol Comic Convention versus the Geek Syndicate and friends. Will Bristol or the world ever be the same again? Over the next two nail biting episodes we'll find out! Enjoy!

Welcome to Episode 32(cue trumpets and fanfare). First off apologies that this episode is over 2 hours. We has such a laugh recording this episode that time kinda went out of the window.

Our main feature covers some of our favourite sidekicks (yes even kid sidekicks) from movies, tv, comics and books. Enjoy!

This is it, we've fought off the sony ninjas long enough to bring you our exclusive spoiler free and spoilerful (hmm is spoilerful even a word?!!) review of Spiderman 3.

We discuss more news from Indy 4, DC's World War III, Deja Vu, Sunshine and Dave reveals his obsession for a certain well known actress.

Our main feature is an interview with Mike Allwood one of the organisers of Bristol's comic con taking place next month. Mike gives us an exclusive rundown of the show's schedule Enjoy...

Due to an attack of the Sony Ninjas Department our review of Spiderman 3 (which would've come out today) from the special press screening we attended on Wednesday has been embargoed. To tide you over until we can release the review (hopefully the week the movie is released) we have put together this short special episode dedicated to the spidey 3 press screening experience. We also throw out a bit of geek news too as a bit of a bonus. Enjoy... Ps As there was some sound issues with their promo we're once again playing the Geek Savants promo at the end of the episode. Sorry guys hopefully we'll play it at the right speed this time!

At last, after a whole host of recording/editing problems, episode 28 is ready for consumption. We are joined by listener of the month Sam as we tackle such thorny issues Indy 4, Flash Gordon and news surrounding a potential Green Arrow movie. We also bask in the glory of planet Hulk before we bid a sad farewell to the epiphany that is Life on Mars. All of the dry slaps for this episode have been reserved for the Sci-Fi Channel and its scheduling fiasco with the Dresden File episodes. Enjoy...

This week Dominos Pizza gets a dry slap (don't ask) before we even get started. We then discuss the launch of the fabled ps3 and the start of the console wars. We dive into some more Indy 4 casting news, Smallville, some news on the distant cousins of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the return of the infamous game to movie director Uwe Boll.
