Our yearly round up of our favourite geeks of the last year. Next week: Top Teas 2023!

This week we answer your questions! Thank you to everyone who wrote in!!

Season Finale! This week we talk about the much beloved, cancelled-too-soon Firefly! We still have 3 post season episodes coming your way before the end of 2023, so stay tuned!

This week we put the SCI  in SCI-FI as we explore the Chinese science fiction novel, The Three Body Problem by Cixin Liu. So much to unpack in this book, but accessible and wondrous all at the same time...so says Marika, but will Kelly agree? Listen and find out! Also, don't forget to send us your questions for our upcoming AMA to podcast@geeksteep.com!

This week, Marika completely failed the assignment and watched the wrong series of Castlevania, so we are covering both the first series "Castlevania" and "Castlevania: Nocturne" ! Our love our vampires continues to grow stronger thanks to this fantastic series. Also, don't forget to send in your questions to podcast@geeksteep.com for our upcoming AMA!

This week we continue our exploration of the works of Brian K Vaughan with the deliciously surprising Paper Girls! Also, don't forget to submit your questions for our upcoming AMA episode!

Pinkies up people, this week we unpack the truly curious geek known as Downton Abbey. And our world will never be the same...actually it stays pretty much the same, but this series likes grand, dramatic things said about the absolute mundane. Cheers!!

The man without fear is the subject of our geek this week, and it has us seeing red. Well not really, but red comes up a lot.

Grab your mugs and have your therapist on speed dial, this movie makes you feel everything, everywhere, all at once. And nothing will be the same after you see it. 

One of the most beloved anime of all time is on the docket on today's episode, and did it fair? 

Saga is simply amazing, difficult, beautiful, and a must read, and this week we discuss why some things that are difficult to discuss should still be discussed anyway. 

Whimsy is the name of the game this week! We delight in discussing dessert teas by Almost Tea, why childhood trauma isn't always that bad and learning more about the fantastical world that is Studio Ghibli!

Kelly's Tea Trip to Vancouver, Westholme tea garden visit, Spider-Man Into the Spiderverse... we had the best conversation in this episode! Oh yeah, and then we watched the utterly whelming Fantastic Four. 

This week we unpack one of the most influential sci fi movies of all time. What's more than that to say? it's your choice to join us, so... red pill or blue?

This week we check in with the DC Universe to see if they can finally get something right!

Our first foray into Canadian folk music! Andy Shauf's The Neon Skyline is an amazing listen, and we dive deep into the narrative of a long night out on the town with old friends, exes, acquaintances and new discoveries. 

Sports anime! Yeah!! I mean, we tried, and there is quite a lot to unpack. This non fantasy, teenage driven sports tale is widely popular in Japan...will it be popular with the Geek Steepers?

Today we explore our favourite Disney animated songs, pairing each with a tea. We laugh, we cry, we get mad and go back to being happy all over again. 

Podcasting. The Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the podcast Geek Steep.  It's ongoing mission to explore strange new fandoms. To seek out new teas and new tea beverages. To boldly go where no podcast has gone before,

It's finally happened, we watched Twilight! Will our love for vampires in general makes us appreciate this GIANT fandom? Spoiler alert: Yeah no. But we had a great time exploring the world of Bella and Edward

This week we talk T2, Avatar and why world building is soooooo important. 

Season 3 here we go! We start off with 80's nostalgia at its finest with Transformers Generation 1! This classic cartoon from the 80's was the first real miss for us when it came to pairing with a tea, but it did not stop the fun of exploring this most fascinating fandom.

Our round up of the best teas of 2022! Happy New Year and see you shortly for season 3!

What were our top picks for fandoms of 2022? Nothing we've ever covered before! Join us as we talk about the fandoms that keep us going this year.
