Two Geeks Two Beers

Tom Eames and Morgan Jeffery

Tom and Morgan are two mates who love talking nonsense about pop culture, while also enjoying a beer. We"ve taken our drunken ramblings from the pub to the studio to teach each other about all kinds of films, TV shows, video games and more. From "80s cartoons to "90s kids shows, action film franchises to cult games, we"ll chat about anything remotely geek-related, often with plenty of confusion, bickering and fond nostalgia.
