    Jun 24 2024

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

    May 27 2024

    It's time to start... running!

    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 films

  • Bananaman
    Apr 29 2024

    "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 heck was Peter Pest?
    • Where does Superman hide his cape?
    • Who knew crows liked bananas?
    • Was Bill Oddie a naturist or a naturalist?

  • Generation X
    Jan 29 2024

    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 budget go?
    • The brilliance of Sweet Valley High's theme tune
    • The strange use of 'Muffin Man' as an insult
    • Why Stretch Armstrong is a better superhero than Skin
