Tom and Morgan are two mates who love talking nonsense about pop culture, while also enjoying a beer. We've taken our drunken ramblings from the pub to the studio to teach each other about all kinds of films, TV shows, video games and more. From '80s cartoons to '90s kids shows, action film franchises to cult games, we'll chat about anything remotely geek-related, often with plenty of confusion, bickering and fond nostalgia. Follow us @twogeekscast on socials.

"When Eric eats a banana..." For this episode, Tom teaches Morgan all about a very British superhero, Eric Wimp aka Bananaman!

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 explain…

You're either in or you're out... For this episode, we travel to Las Vegas 2001 and the heist of the century, as we discuss the excellent movie Ocean's Eleven.

'We're all a little looney...' For this episode, Tom returns to his childhood and looks back at one of his favourite shows, and one that totally passed Morgan by, the Tiny Toons!

It's time to let off some steam, and enjoy some 'macho bullshit', as we tackle 1985's action romp, Commando! It's one of Morgan's favourite films, and Tom's only seen it once (years ago, because Morgan made him). But how does it hold up nearly 40 years later? We discuss the making of the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic, as well as its impressive cast…

A romantic sci-fi time travel sitcom, you say? For this episode, we travel back to 1993 and the British comedy series Goodnight Sweetheart, centred around Gary Sparrow, a TV repairman who finds himself able to travel between 1990s and 1940s London via a magical alleyway. From Gary's questionable morals to Nicholas Lyndhurst's surprisingly great sin…

Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, Heart... Beer! For this episode, Morgan teaches Tom all about the history of the classic '90s cartoon series, environmental heroes and pop culture icons, Captain Planet and the Planeteers.

Grab your Golden Joystick and give it a waggle, it's time to travel back to the 1990s and remember the underrated Channel 4 TV show, Gamesmaster.

It's the 2022 Two Geeks Christmas special! And as promised, it's a sort-of-Christmas-romcom episode. Here, Tom looks back at the 2001 romance film Serendipity starring John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale, while Morgan delves into 1998's You've Got Mail with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Sure, it doesn't sound like geek fodder that belongs on the podcast, and…

Hey, you guys! It's time to look back and celebrate one of the greatest adventure films of all time, 1985's The Goonies. Tom can't quite believe that Morgan only watched this once a few years ago, and so it's up to him to teach him all about the legendary film starring Sean Astin, Josh Brolin and many others. From One Eyed WIlly's rich stuff to a m…

All for one, and all for love! This episode sees Morgan take Tom back to 1993 and the strangely-forgotten action romp The Three Musketeers, starring Kiefer Sutherland, Charlie Sheen, Oliver Platt, Chris O'Donnell and Tim Curry.

"And slowly, but surely, they drew their plans against us..." For this episode, Tom teaches Morgan all about a true one-off: the sci-fi prog rock concept musical album adaptation of HG Wells' War of the Worlds, by Jeff Wayne.

What seems to be your boggle? We’ve been away for a little while but now we’re back – like a BLAST FROM THE PAST – with an episode dedicated to 1993 action epic Demolition Man, starring Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes and Sandra Bullock.

Out of the way, peck! For this episode, Tom is taking Morgan back to another of his ’80s fantasy favourites as a kid: Ron Howard and George Lucas’s Willow, starring a very young Warwick Davis, the super-cool Val Kilmer and the incredible Jean Marsh.

Who are we? You sure you want to know? This podcast is not for the faint of heart! In this episode, Morgan takes Tom back to 2002 for arguably the start of the world’s love of big budget superhero movies: Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man starring Tobey Maguire. We discuss the film’s two-decade long journey to get to the big screen, the various casting decisi…

Save the cheerleader, save the world… or at least until season 5.

30 years on, Morgan teaches Tom all about the Street Fighter franchise, particularly one of his favourite games growing up, the groundbreaking Street Fighter II.

“A peach. I could eat a peach for hours.” This time, Tom is heading back to 1997 to teach Morgan all about the ridiculous-yet-brilliant John Woo action film, Face/Off. And as Johnny Depp discovered, it’s not an ice hockey movie. We delve into the madness of the John Travolta and Nicolas Cage vehicle, and how it was originally meant to be set in the…
  continue reading
 
This time, Morgan is tackling Transformers – a vast media franchise that encompasses toys, comics, live-action movies. But he wanted to look into just his Transformers, the Generation 1 animated series from 1984. However, it soon proved that even when just taking one element of the Transformers universe, it wasn’t exactly a quick history lesson. In…
  continue reading
 
For this episode, Tom teaches Morgan about the surprisingly-brilliant ’90s sitcom Dinosaurs, which probably shouldn’t have worked on paper. Dinosaurs was one in a string of odd sci-fi/fantasy-based sitcoms that did the business back in the ’80s and ’90s, alongside the likes of Harry and the Hendersons and 3rd Rock from the Sun. Co-created by the la…

This is Two Geeks, Two Beers and we’re talking to whoever’s listening out there… we’re a couple of reasonable guys, who’ve just experienced some very unreasonable things. For this episode, Morgan is teaching Tom all about… Big Trouble in Little China! We were both fans of this film growing up, and Morgan realised while researching the episode that …

In this episode, Tom takes Morgan through a history of the world’s strangest and worst video game consoles.

As well as a few honourable mentions, we discuss at length three ‘classic…

For this episode, we’ll be digging up something of a forgotten treasure from years gone by and uncovering the secrets of… Aquila! Aquila was a much-loved 1990s CBBC sci-fi series that only ran for two seasons, but it left a longlasting impression on us all these years later. In case you don’t know the show (which is quite likely if you weren’t aged…

Remember Pogs? The mere mention of them will either be met with utter confusion or pure nostalgic joy. Pogs were arguably the biggest fad of all time, but if you were a kid in the period of 1993-1997, then you most likely had your own collection of these things (unless of course, you’re Morgan living in Cornwall, apparently). In this episode, Tom t…

This time, Morgan teaches Tom all about one of his favourite films as a kid: 1991’s The Rocketeer! We look back at the underrated Disney adventure movie starring Billy Campbell, Jennifer Connelly, and hamming it up to the nines, Timothy Dalton.

The boys relive all 5 (yes, 5…) Ho…

For our 80th episode (wow), we’re going back to 1999 and looking back at a criminally underrated and forgotten sci-fi drama, Now and Again. Yes, that sounds like a soapy teen romcom like Once and Again, but it was actually a great thriller/romantic drama/spy drama/comedy that only ran for one season, but still has a cult following 20 years later. S…

The year was 1979, and NBC launched the last screen adaptation to date of a popular comic strip hero – after 2 seasons and 37 episodes, Captain William ‘Buck’ Rogers was blown out of the network’s schedules into an orbit which left the show on ice, but now we return to Buck Rogers… 41 YEARS LATER!! This episode sees Morgan teaching Tom all about Bu…
