Welcome back everyone to the world of Geekdom as seen through the crazy eyes of David Montieth and Barry Nugent. Apologies for having to miss a week due to techinal issues but we're now back on track to bring you all the news, reviews and interviews we can lay our grubby hands on.

Enjoy!

Everything comes back to 2000AD episode 18 where the guys look at progs 1666-68 (because they are the newest ones) , the The Megazine #293 (because they are shallow and get mentioned in it) and The Dead : Kingdom of Flies (because Rich loves the Bisley). As usual spoilers and non kiddie friendly language throughout.

Welcome to another episode of Geek Syndicate. Apologies for the laterness of the episode which down to computer troubles. News: Spidey Reboot, Star Wars gets seedier than Mos Eisley, The Spectre gears up for his animated debut and Brightest Day talk.Week that was: The Dead, Being Human, Doghouse and the A-team trailer.Main: We take a look at some of european comics we've picked up recently from Cinebooks.

Welcome to the pilot episode of Scrolls, the podcast for literary geekdom.The team first explores some of the influences that got us interested in fantasy, sci-fi and horror back in the day. We then roll an eye over the books weâve been reading most recently, before beginning the first of our (soon to be legendary) discussions about the vast flood of literary adaptations out there. Finally we share some of the books we feel compelled to come back to again and again.Amongst it all we wander between swearing monkeys, dead wasps and the joyously camp fifth ghostbuster. We ponder deep mysteries such as the genre placement of Muppet Treasure Island and just how easy it would be to get a can of coke in Mordor. We also discover which member of the cast cheated at Fighting Fantasy,which one rates The Very Hungry Caterpillar as a formative piece of genre fiction and who thinks thereâs just something special about a pangolin.

With the 'Two Geeks With No Name' podcast you get two opinionated gets dissecting and disputing the social science in and behind a popular piece of science fiction (and who knows maybe one day fantasy.)We're looking to get an even spread of disucssion material from TV, film, Books and were possible comics, games, radio and other media.We're splitting it into thematically linked series of about 6 episodes- so for our first we'll be looking at Empires - by which we mean the states which dominate a particular SF universe.For our first and pilot episode we chose the Klingon Empire simply becausebecuase there is so much material out there and wend our merry way through the analogies, relations and power of the Klingons with side tracks into the economics of Star Trek, Star Fleet diplomacy and Kirk branded cologneFor our second we're thinking of doing Dune (but only the first 3 books!)We would love input from the audience on future ideas for both episodes (is there a particular SF Empire you would like to see dissected?) and themes for series (Law & order, rebel movements, Religion in SF are some of muted topics for future series.)We're also open to name suggestions and possible logo rebranding.Any ideas email: twogeekswithnonamepodcast@yahoo.co.uk
