The Geek Show

With only two weeks left until Christmas Day people have started their frenzied last-minute hunts for presents, but is what you get really what you want? Join us as we find out why a DVD or Blu-Ray gift can make or break you, what console would make the best Christmas present, and why boxed sets of TV shows may not be worth the money. www.thegeekshow.co.uk

This week we decided to explore the more enjoyable side of Christmas entertainment, and since we got most of our complaining done in the previous episode everyone’s a bit more jolly and optimistic. www.thegeekshow.co.uk

With Christmas looming on the horizon we’ve decided to kick off our month of seasonal shows with a look at the side of the holiday that we all know and complain about. Join us as we try to find out where all the perfume adverts go for the rest of the year, why Christmas movies are generally comedies or rom-coms, and generally get annoyed at the entirety of Christmas media. www.thegeekshow.co.uk

Thought Bubble (or T-Dubbs as Matt Dyson loves to call it), a convention that’s been on our list since Dr Geof Banyard recommended it over a year ago. Trusting the Teaforce, we sent Harry along to Royal Armouries Museum (BEST. FREE. MUSEUM. EVER.) to check it out, where he was quickly bamboozled by a number of awesome attendees shilling their paper-based wares. Tune in for our 2012 special. www.thegeekshow.co.uk

On this episode we explore the world of Augmented Reality and try to work out how it would work with entertainment media. Join us as we ask if AR commercials would convince you to watch a movie or buy a product, would people play an AR game in the real world, and wonder if we will ever get Holodecks. www.thegeekshow.co.uk

On this episode we investigate the film-based neural technology that are most likely to appear in real life, try to work out if a physical augmentation can produce a psychic ability, and ask if receiving TV shows directly into the brain is a good idea. www.thegeekshow.co.uk

On this weeks edition of the show Harry returned with a bounty of goodies, stories and interviews from his great MCM adventure. Listen in for loads of cool interviews and more. www.thegeekshow.co.uk

This time on the show join us as we discuss the ripe science fiction grounds when man meets machine. The very same tradition that has inspired Ghost in the Shell and the sorta/maybe/not-really classic that is Lawnmower man. www.thegeekshow.co.uk

This week on the show as well as the usual healthy quota of bad jokes, we talk about unexpected developments. Join us as we discuss our favourite twists and whether parody gets a free ride to experiment. www.thegeekshow.co.uk

On this edition of the show we ask whether spy’s are on the rise of whether its a Bond only affair, and also why don't comics and animation dare to tread into the tuxedo’d hallowed ground. www.thegeekshow.co.uk

Aside from our usual ramblings and bickering this wonderfully chippy episode also includes an interview with Greig “Theremin Hero” Stewart – our Geek Representative on this year’s Britain’s Got Talent! In the Studio we have a LIVE set from x Critical Strike x. We also cover the SuperByte Festival in Manchester and Chipfest in Liverpool, and both events were bursting at the seams with talented artists. www.thegeekshow.co.uk

On this episode Phil returns from his amazing adventures in the Netherlands where he had a whole lot of fun at Abunai 2012. Before we get into that though, what is Abunai Con? Well, it’s the Netherland’s largest residential anime, manga and Japanese culture convention, and this year they were marking a special milestone. www.thegeekshow.co.uk

On this swashbuckling episode we take a stab at swords, swordplay, swordsmen, and things of a bladed nature. Join the four geeketeers as we look at the demise of fencing in Western cinema, ask if modern games are able to handle complex sword mechanics, and in our new Collectibles & Toys section we wonder why people are fascinated by replica swords taken from famous movie and videogames. www.thegeekshow.co.uk

Everyone returns this week so we get Harry to recount his adventures at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, talk to Phil and Becca about AmeCon, and take the opportunity to have a good old natter. www.thegeekshow.co.uk
