The Geek Show

It's time for another edition of the reliable flagship! This week we're discussing the official death of the Windows phone, the promotion of Facebook's new Spaces application, the safety of self-driving cars and more. We also take a look at what's been happening on the network over the past week before we round things off with sci-fi franchises that we would love to see remade, rebooted or just continued - with obvious stopovers at Star Wars, Star Trek, The X-Files and the current technofantasy flavour of the month - Blade Runner 2049.

We were off for a while, launching our Youtube, travelling about and doing things we utterly regret. You know? Normal Summer stuff. After a couple of months off we return with a new form. We've changed a lot over the years, but this is (probably) our final form - we promise. This is Boss Mode Geek Show, and if we were in an RPG we'd look like a giant god monster that the antagonist would inevitably have to sell his soul to.

It’s the end of Series 14 so we decided to talk about endings ... in a sense. Join us as we meander through Doctor Who, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, comic-book endings (and the lack thereof - especially when killing off characters), video game endings and more.

We return to the sacred halls of journalism to discover more strange wonders from science and technology news. This week our jumble of oddities includes a man stuck in an ATM, the scientific usage of "derpy", a crackdown on Winnie the Pooh, Baboon-based power outages, Komodo Dragon blood, Tardigrades, US Space Marines, giant balloon robots, KFC merchandise, a disturbing story about contact lenses and other strange tidings from the real world.

It's time for another round of arguments as we really get some things off our chest! That's right, it's time for Defend Your Choice, and this time we looking at things that people seem to adore (for whatever reason), but that we think are in no way deserving of their status. Prepare for controversy as we run roughshod over 1980's nostalgia, titans of fantasy literature, the favourite sons of ubiquitous video game franchises, legendary comic-book characters, serious silliness in movies, beloved RPGs from both East and West, a supposedly intelligent modern science fiction film, a;;-time anime favourites, and ... a fan favourite Stephen King film. This is definitely one episode that gets the blood boiling! #Podcast #TheGeekShow #Controversy #Marvel #DC #VideoGames #Movies #Gaming #Anime #DragonBall #RPG #Fallout #ScottPilgrim #Batman #Cult #FanFavourites

After returning from our travels we found a heap of weird technology and science news waiting for us. Kicking things off this week is NATO, who have called a particular global malware attack a declarations of war. After that we allow the strangeness to wash over us with NASA wanting to have a go at Armageddon (without Aerosmith and Bruce Willis), the NHS being outed as the world’s largest purchaser of fax machines (and baseball bats to destroy this rebellious and outdated technology), the Pirates of the Caribbean ride change the auction part of the attraction to something a bit more ... modern? Less Horrible? Both? Then things get really weird with Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop selling the most pretentious stickers ever (and being called out by NASA about what spacesuits are made of), Gene Simmons trying to trademark Spiderman’s hand gestures, 24-carat gold bed sheets in Milan, Kaiju’s advertising washing machines, fashion festivals for crabs, Dead Or Alive Smell-O-Vision and the scent of a sumo wrestler. We're not sure how to process most of this stuff either. We just let the jokes run wild and free ... #TheGeekShow #Podcast #Weird #Improvisation #Comedy #Technology #Science #News #StrangerThanFiction #NASA #Spiderman #Kaiju #China #Japan

It's that time of the year again. People are converging on a famous stadium in Newcastle wearing the costumes of their heroes. There's a tense atmosphere in the air as everyone waits for the action to start, but this is no game of football because it's Sunnycon time! Join the guys along with Tucky - the Ambassador of Sunnycon (no he doesn't have any Ferrero Rocher), who's also a member of our very own KeyFrame Podcast. We discuss the evolution of the convention, the plans for the future and the buoyant sense of community that has seen this Japanese Anime, Manga and Culture festival become a firm fixture of the North East event calendar. Here's to Sunnycon 2018!

Apologies for the delay with this episode - it's been hectic at Casa de Geek Show. This week we return to our usual exploration of the weirder fringes of science and technology news including malware causing power cuts in the Ukraine, space bread, "direct reality" (whatever the hell that is), Wifi on Everest, crimes against Star Wars collections, cheese-powered Super Soldiers, prehistoric poo, high scores on Ms. Pacman and self confidence for robots. It's a diverse week if ever there was one. #Science #News #Technology #Podcast #Anime #Comics #DC #Marvel #Cartoons #Movies #Weird #TheGeekShow #Comedy #Improvisation #StrangerThanFiction

This week we go free-form for a discussion about smartphones. Beginning with the origins of the species, find out what we use our smartphones for as we discover how powerful they've become. We also surmise about the future of smartphones and the role that mobile gaming has to play in it all. If that sounds a bit more serious than usual, worry not because we have jokes - lots of them. #Nintendo #Smartphones #PC #Samsung #iPhone #Apple #VideoGames #Gaming #SocialMedia #Podcasts #Review #Technology #TheGeekShow #Discussion #Android #iOS #MobilePhones

We have adorable robots and nonsense aplenty this week, so join us as we parade our way through the stranger side of science and technology news (while also discovering why Pepé Le Pew is the worst). With Samsung's security, pacemaker hacking, teaching AIs in Paris, North Korean technology announcements, Toyota driving school, Singapore's giant vending machine, robotic mediators, fidget spinners, monkey mafia and the titular RoboPriest, it's quite the busy week. #TheGeekShow #Podcast #News #Science #Nature #Weird #Surreal #Comedy #Discussion #Robots #Toyota #Samsung #Cars #WorldCup #Technology #Wildlife

It's that time of the month again so get ready for another round of Defend your Choice. This time the theme is fictional sports and games that we wish existed in reality (i.e. really real instead of the fake real that is real-world quidditch). This week we were broadcasting from what felt like the sweltering centre of an active volcano (it's a miracle we managed to record so well), where the temperature caused us to misfire regularly (it was so hot!). Thankfully we didn't spend long the the bleak and murdery choices before we decided to head for our comfort zone - the absolutley, barkingly mad! #Podcast #TheGeekShow #Sports #Games #VideoGames #Animation #Movies #DefendYourChoice #Blitzball #FinalFantasyX #RedDwarf #BetterThanLife #BattleRoyale #IgoSoccer #Nichijou #MyOrdinaryLife #Anime #RobotGolf #DeathRace #Jumanji #Calvinball #CalvinAndHobbes #Avatar #TheLegendOfKorra #ProBending #RocketLeague #StarTrek #AnboJitsu #HitchHiker'sGuideToTheGalaxy #BrockianUltraCricket

Another week, another odd episode title that defies all sense of reason or logic. It's a theme that's continued throughout the show as we discuss electoral Snapchat, pirates, London trains, prison drones, KitKat's, xenomorphs, Russia (twice), and social realism for clowns. It's a mad, mad, mad world and we just love it. PLEASE NOTE: One of the hosts suffered from technical difficulties during recording. #Science #News #Weird #Technology #Satire #Surreal #Podcast #Improvisation #TheGeekShow #Podcasts

Underground, overground, rambling free. The ramblers of The Geek Show, common are we. This week the gang have a long and meandering chat about ... stuff. From gunge and celebrity albums to terrible comic book villains and Steven Seagal - with lots of other stuff in between. Yeah, we don't get it either. #Podcast #TheGeekShow #News #Science #Technology #Discussion #Weird #Gunge #1990s #KidsTV #StevenSeagal #Improvisation #Conversation

We return to the treasure trove of science and technology news, and as always there are some great goodies. This week we discover Uber's flying cars, NASA's space chainmail, scientific proof that humans are the best at throwing, the slight madness of James Cracknell, strange things on Tinder, fruit juice in Russia, Australian exposé shockers, robot dogs, the weird world of LEGO and Artificially Intelligent anime phone girlfriends. Naturally those suggestive gems lead us off into some truly surreal and silly directions, but that's an everyday thing here at The Geek Show. #News #Technology #Science #Movies #Anime #VideoGames #Surreal #Comedy #Improvisation #Japan #Australia #Russia #TheGeekShow

We take a break from the weird world of science and technology news for a good old bout of Defend Your Choice. This time the two Rob's and Andrew hit the comics and manga to find superheroes that they'd love to see on the big screen. Some of the choices are brilliant, some are subversive, and some make you question why you've ever bothered to pick up a comic book. It's The Geek Show, so it just wouldn't be right without us messing around with those complicated feelings, would it? #TheGeekShow #Comics #Anime #Manga #Starman #Ordinary #XMen #OnePunchMan #DC #MoonKnight #Marvel #UshioAndTora #TheSpectre #BoosterGold #TheSavageDragon
