This week we’re broadcasting from our secret underground lair which is only partially complete (we still need to install the pool for the sharks with lasers, the disco ball and the giant Mousetrap set, and we need to stock the gift shop. Oh, and apologies for the sound – it’s a work in progress). Join us for a session of news, reviews, and plenty of tangents. outro by disasterpiece www.thegeekshow.co.uk

On this week’s episode we take a walk with a few resurrected creatures, and somewhere along the way we made a remarkable discovery – the opposite of undead isn’t alive or dead, but a state called unalive. Listen in as we dive headfirst into this minefield. outro by disasterpiece www.thegeekshow.co.uk

Over the next three shows we're taking a look at the influence of comic-books on popular media, and to kick things off we are beginning with the obvious choice. Join us as we step into the multimedia world of Marvel. outro by disasterpiece www.thegeekshow.co.uk

This week we are revisiting our guilty pleasures so join us as we discuss the movies, games, graphic literature and animated stories that we like and enjoy – but in some cases really shouldn’t. outro by disasterpiece www.thegeekshow.co.uk

This week we decided to investigate the repetitive nature of popular media, so join us as we find out more about entertainment franchises that don't really change over time, the installments that don't really exist (seriously – they’re just a figment of your imagination), and endlessly rebooted superheroes. outro by disasterpiece thegeekshow.co.uk

Join us as we delve into the quasi-educational nature of popular media to find out what we can actually learn from movies, videogames, anime, comics and more. outro by disasterpiece www.thegeekshow.co.uk

We were wandering through a supermarket one day and we noticed a DVD that looked like Kung Fu Panda (including the cover design), and had a story like Kung Fu Panda – but it wasn't Kung Fu Panda. The movie in question featured a rabbit in the lead role, and it’s not the first film to try and capitalise on the success of Dreamworks hit franchise, but it got us thinking about all of the movies, games and more that were barely concealed copies of more popular titles. outro by disasterpiece thegeekshow.co.uk

This week we decided to take a look at the role medical doctors play in popular media, so join us as we find out why they're one of the most versatile characters in movies, how the profession is represented in videogames, and why manga has such a different perspective on them.
