Two Geeks Two Beers

We have some big (and hopefully rather sad) news to bring you... for now at least, this will be the final Two Geeks Two Beers episode after 10 years of the podcast.

We explain fully our reasons for ending the series, but fear not! It's more of a hiatus than a series finale, and we already have a new podcast in the pipeline.

For this special episode, we each pick our best, worst and most bonkers cult TV finales.

Thanks SO much to every...

In this special Christmas episode of Two Geeks for 2024, Tom and Morgan surprise each other with their ideal fantasy Christmas Day TV schedule, if they were in charge of such a thing.

So expect everything from classic festive movies, sitcom favourites, totally made-up shows and much more.

Do you agree with us? Which one if your favourite? What would be on your schedule? Get in touch @twogeekscast on socials or on podcast@twogeekstwob...

"I'm Batman!"

For this episode, Morgan teaches Tom all about Tim Burton's excellent 1989 revival of Batman, starring Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson.

The film gave a new lease of life to Bruce Wayne, ushering in a new era of superhero movies that arguably led to Spider-Man, X-Men, the MCU and beyond.

In the episode, we discuss the ridiculous number of actors and directors linked to the project, Batman's unnatural and awkward Batsuit...

"Round and round the garden... like a teddy bear?!"

It's the annual Two Geeks Halloween special, and this year we look back at the downright terrifying 1992 one-off BBC mockumentary: Ghostwatch.

Starring Michael Parkinson, Sarah Greene and Craig Charles, the special spooked the entire UK when it aired, with many believing it was a real broadcast from a haunted house. While many loved it, it was met with criticism from many, and had r...

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 newsp...

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 incredib...

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

From the various (and tiny) versions of the Mighty Max playsets to its surprisingly dark cartoon TV series, we remember a much simpler time for kids in the early '90s.

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 epis...

It's time to start... running!

This episode, we’re hurtling – in our metaphorical rocket-sleds – back to 1987 for a retrospective of dystopian action flick The Running Man, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

And yes, Tom hasn't seen it.

We discuss:

• The bizarre chart history of Crazy Frog (There's a link, trust us)
• The brilliance of soundtrack kings John Parr and Kenny Loggins
• How Tom didn't realise Arnie said 'I'll be back' in multiple...

"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 h...

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...

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 ...

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 bud...

You can't have a franchise without a threequel. Yes, following our previous two Freaky Franchises episodes, it's time for a festive edition!

For this year's Two Geeks Christmas special, we're looking back at four festive film series that have gone on far longer than we realised. Whether it's just one sequel too many or a ridiculous number of remakes and adaptations, it's time to delve into the bonkers world of Christmas movie franch...

You're either in or you're out...

For this episode, we travel to Las Vegas 2001 and the heist of the century, as we discuss the excellent movie Ocean's Eleven. Starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts and Matt Damon among many others, this was one of the biggest films of the 2000s, and still holds up today.

We also discuss:

• The not-so-great sequels, including Julia Roberts as Tess as Julia Roberts
• Don Cheadle's awful Briti...

The Two Geeks are here to "bring something back" from the archives, as we look back at the Quatermass franchise.

Morgan teaches Tom all about the classic British sci-fi series, including its various versions, adaptations, sequels and casts.

We also discuss:

• How Tom thought a 'quatermass' was a scientific thing rather than a bloke's name
• Can nuns watch TV?
• The annoyance of not recording telly back in the '50s
• The ballad of Brian Donle...

Have you ever, ever felt like this?

Yes, we're heading back to the '90s once more as we remember the legendary Australian children's TV show, Round the Twist!

As well as the iconic theme tune, we discuss the show's many cast changes, its quirky (and questionable) supernatural storylines and much more.

We also talk about:

• Why was there never a single of the theme tune?
• Feeling sorry for poor Bronson
• Is Pete a sexual deviant?
• Why were t...
