Two Geeks Two Beers

Back to the 1980s as Morgan takes his ‘companion’ Tom to the 31st century for the one-series brilliance of Ulysses 31. Find out about rubbish No-No, ‘floaty-stone comas’ and its incredible epic theme song.

It’s the most geekiest time of the year… if these 12 incredible Christmas TV specials are anything to go by. Tom and Morgan have selected 12 fascinating (and sometimes dreadful) festive episodes or one-off movies based around the geekiest shows around – featuring: The X-Files, Power Rangers, Sliders, Biker Mice from Mars, Terrahawks, He-Man & She-Ra, X-Men, Doctor Who, Dinosaurs...

Back to the world of kids TV this time, as Tom teaches Morgan all about two 1990s cartoons about kick-ass anthropomorphic gunslingers: Bucky O’Hare and the Biker Mice from Mars. Only in the 90s. We wonder how we’ve never heard of Avenger Penguins, realise that StarFox is just a ripoff of Bucky and reminisce about fancying Gadget from Rescue Rangers.

Rather appropriately, our 13th episode sees Morgan teach Tom all about two of the most iconic horror films of all time: Halloween and Friday the 13th. Don’t get too spooked as we complain about crap sequel titles and the utterly dreadful “abomination” Halloween: Resurrection.

Morgan continues his nerdy journey with Tom through TV shows that tried to emulate the success of Doctor Who after its return in 2005 – including shows on the BBC and ITV. We hunt dinosaurs in Primeval, get confused by Richard Armitage in Robin Hood, witness a bromance in Merlin, get baffled at Mark Addy in Atlantis and shudder at Philip Glenister’s accent in Demons. Make sure to check out our pre...

Morgan takes Tom through five forgotten TV shows that tried to emulate  Doctor Who  between Sylvester McCoy’s finale in 1989 to Christopher Ecclestone’s debut in 2005. We discuss and dissect: Crime Traveller, Strange, Sea of Souls, Dark Season and Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased) – remember them? Make sure to  check out part 2 , where we look at shows that filled in for Doctor Who f...

Morgan takes Tom back to the 1990s for a romantic take on the Superman legend, starring Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher as Lois and Clark. We found out that Morgan likes Michael Landes quite a lot, we wonder why Castle and Bones are still on air and celebrate the best Lex Luthor of all time in John Shea.

Tom teaches Morgan all about 80s and 90s children’s game show Knightmare, starring the brilliant Hugo Myatt as Treguard. We discuss whether it’s best to be a dungeoneer or his mates, ponder whether it would work today and how macabre the deaths could be.

Morgan takes Tom down to the village in the latest episode of Two Geeks, as we find out all about Patrick McGoohan’s iconic 1960s thriller The Prisoner. Tom gets increasingly frustrated with its bonkers ambiguity, while we both discuss how scary a bouncy ball can be and whether Person of Interest could be part of its universe. Be seeing you!

Way to go duuuude. Alriiiight! Our next episode takes us to the desert town of Perfection as we battle Graboids in the Tremors franchise. We look at the difference between Shriekers and Ass Blasters, moan about CGI and get fascinated by the Maneater film series among other discussions.

Our latest episode sees Whovian Morgan teach Tom all about  Doctor Who , and where to start watching if you’re a noob. We take in everything from Hartnell to Capaldi, and Daleks to Weeping Angels. We also pay our respect to Geek TV and film icon Sir Christopher Lee, who recently passed away soon before recording. It goes without saying that Morgan is a massive  Doctor Who ...

In Episode 5 we look at a variety of random and odd movie franchises, with some that are still going to this day. We both get utterly baffled and fascinated by the cinematic universes of  The Scorpion King, The Land Before Time, Anaconda/Lake Placid, God of Gamblers  and  Zombi . Strap yourselves in, it’s going to get confusing… Morgan takes us through the history of the  Scorp...

Episode 4 sees Morgan teach Tom all about 1980s cartoon  Defenders of the Earth ! We discuss everything from Flash Gordon’s dark storylines, failed Billy Zane movies and the potential  DOTE  cinematic universe. Known for its downright incredible intro theme tune (with lyrics credited to  Stan Lee ),  Defenders of the Earth  ran for just one season from 1986, but one w...

Episode 3 is all about the forgotten YTV/CITV gem  ReBoot , the first fully-CGI TV series. We ask whether ReBoot could be… rebooted, and discuss Dot Matrixes and comparisons to  Sliders  and  Wreck It Ralph . ReBoot was a Canadian series that originally ran from 1994 to 2001. Tom was a massive fan growing up when it reached the UK on CITV in the mid-to-late 1990s, but it w...

Our second episode sees Morgan teach Tom all about 1980s cartoon series Thundercats! Discover all about how Jagar is like Alec Guinness, Mumm-ra is definitely not Skeletor and Brad Pitt makes the perfect Lion-o. Based on characters created by Ted ‘Tobin’ Wolf,  Thundercats  launched in 1985, with animation provided by the Japanese studio Pacific Animation Corporation. As Morgan explains...

In our first episode, Tom teaches Morgan about  Gerry Anderson ‘s 1980s sci-fi puppet series  Terrahawks . Discussions include Tiger Ninestein being a dick, Captain Scarlet being a rubbish agent, Fireball XL5’s awesome theme tune and other random tangents. Created by Gerry Anderson and Christopher Burr,  Terrahawks  was Anderson’s first in over a decade to use puppets , an...
