The Geek Show ·

This week we decided to take a look at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo – better known as E3. There were a lot of new game announcements, so we decided to take a look at some of the titles that caught our eye from each of the main conferences. www.thegeekshow.co.uk

The Geek Show ·

2015/04/21

On this week’s episode we take a look at martial arts and fighting (since we all like a good virtual punch-up). Join us to find out why Rob 2 got really excited by The Raid, what counts as a martial arts movie, and what makes a good videogame beat-em-up. www.thegeekshow.co.uk

S4E18 - Sequels, Spinoffs And Franchises

The Geek Show ·

2015/04/21

This episode was inspired by the fact that we all loved The Avengers movie, and aside from squeeing over it a little, we thought the best thing to do was to take a look at the sequels and spin-offs that are rife in popular media. With that in mind, we ask why modern movies tend to be trilogies, try to work out why game sequels always seem to have a multi-player feature, wonder if all good things should come to an end, and more besides. www.thegeekshow.co.uk

S04E17 - I No Understand

The Geek Show ·

2015/04/21

On this episode we decided to follow in the footsteps of so many great visionaries by going off at a tangent into the realms of absurdity. Join us as we discuss ridiculous TV shows, weird and/or eccentric movies, wacky animations, and the lack of continuous, coherent, and consistent storylines in Western comics. www.thegeekshow.co.uk

Here, chronicled for your listening pleasure, is our coverage of Kitacon 4 featuring an audience, guests and food-based challenges. www.thegeekshow.co.uk

S04E15 - Is Everything Better With Zombies

The Geek Show ·

2015/04/21

Following on from our Easter episode on extra lives, we thought it would be interesting to take a look at a genre that, while not as “sexy” as vampires (unless there’s something very wrong with you), is currently all the rage in games, TV, and even a few movies. Join us as we try to find out if everything is really better with zombies. www.thegeekshow.co.uk

S04E14 - Extra Lives

The Geek Show ·

2015/04/21

After many questions about where chocolate eggs and rabbits fit into the original idea of Easter, we thought the best way to celebrate the festival was to talk about extra lives – which is basically the gaming equivalent of resurrection. In this episode we wonder why superheroes/villains simply won't stay dead, try to work out if Jedi Masters actually die, and ask if the whole idea of extra lives in games is dead. www.thegeekshow.co.uk

S04E11 - The Matriarchs (w/Josie Long Interview)

The Geek Show ·

2015/04/21

With Mother’s Day and International Women’s Day falling in the same month, we thought it would be nice to give some attention to the women who we respect for their contributions to popular culture.

S04E08 - Sagas

The Geek Show ·

2015/04/21

Dark was the evening and high were our hearts as we set off on our quest to discover the secrets behind tales of epic proportions. We packed our Kevlar underpants and our prism goggles, some snacks, and The Magic Geek ball as we prepared to wander the internet wilderness in search of the wisdom of the sages. Unfortunately we took an arrow to the knee so we had to return to the studio. www.thegeekshow.co.uk

The Geek Show ·

2015/04/21

S04E06 - Animex 2012 Special

The Geek Show ·

2015/04/21

As ever, we continue to evolve, and Animex 2012 saw our very first live recording of The Geek Show. The only problem is that we had more than we could feasibly fit into a two-hour show, so we were forced to get the scissors and make a few cuts to keep to time. That being said, this download version saw us interview some amazing people live on the show. www.thegeekshow.co.uk

S04E05 - Mine's bigger than yours

The Geek Show ·

2015/04/21

Ooooh er Missus. On this episode of the Geek Show we take a look at weapons (but not guns because they’re a bit too easy), and ask why there’s such a big difference in weaponry between Eastern and Western cinema, and why there’s a lack of superheroes with weapons. We also try to work out why we can’t hit people with chairs in games, and wonder if bigger really is better (or does it depend on the situation). Innuendo Overload. www.thegeekshow.co.uk
