For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place? SHOW NOTES: Kara Weller: The Impossible Dilemma of a Polar Guide Marilyn Raphael: A twenty-first century structural change in Antarctica’s sea ice system Karl Watson: First Time in Antarctica Jeb Brooks : 7 Days in Antarctica (Journey to the South Pole) Metallica - Freeze 'Em All: Live in Antarctica Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices…

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.

1:16:21

We have some big (and hopefully rather sad) news to bring you... for now at least, this will be the final Two Geeks Two Beers episode after 10 years of the podcast. We explain fully our reasons for ending the series, but fear not! It's more of a hiatus than a series finale, and we already have a new podcast in the pipeline. For this special episode, we each pick our best, worst and most bonkers cult TV finales. Thanks SO much to every single one of you who have listened to the podcast at any point over the past decade. We've really enjoyed the journey, and it was only ever worth it for you guys. Stay tuned for what's coming next on this podcast feed and our socials! For now... thank you, and cheers.…

13 weeks ago55:57

55:57

For this episode, we finally tackle a subject we have been too intimidated to try for years: the WWE. Now that Tom is a noob fan of wrestling, he attempts to teach Morgan all about the Golden Era of the WWE (or the WWF as it was then): the 1980s. We discuss everything from that era including Hulkamania, Andre the Giant, Randy Savage, the Ultimate Warrior and more.…

Batman 1989 58:37

58:37

"I'm Batman!" For this episode, Morgan teaches Tom all about Tim Burton's excellent 1989 revival of Batman, starring Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson. The film gave a new lease of life to Bruce Wayne, ushering in a new era of superhero movies that arguably led to Spider-Man, X-Men, the MCU and beyond. In the episode, we discuss the ridiculous number of actors and directors linked to the project, Batman's unnatural and awkward Batsuit, and much more.…

Ghostwatch 1:08:00

1:08:00

"Round and round the garden... like a teddy bear?!" It's the annual Two Geeks Halloween special, and this year we look back at the downright terrifying 1992 one-off BBC mockumentary: Ghostwatch. Starring Michael Parkinson, Sarah Greene and Craig Charles, the special spooked the entire UK when it aired, with many believing it was a real broadcast from a haunted house. While many loved it, it was met with criticism from many, and had real-life tragic consequences. To this day, we're still terrified by it! We discuss: Tom's 'real' ghost story that made him believe in ghosts Why Crimewatch and Casualty were scarier than they should have been Michael Parkinson's surprisingly excellent acting…

40:34

For this episode, we’re diving into the world of the one and only Judge Dredd, where one man stands between order and chaos – and he’s got a killer jawline! Morgan is taking Tom through a mini history lesson of the famous franchise, from its comic book beginnings to its big screen adaptations starring Sylvester Stallone and Karl Urban. We discuss everything from Stallone's amazing delivery as Dredd, a surprising British tabloid newspaper's connection to the series, its inspiration from a crude reggae star and much more. And a big shoutout to our latest Patreon supporters: Bill Gudde and Tom Rye!…

We're most definitely not in Kansas anymore... For this episode, Tom is terrifying and confusing Morgan in equal measure, as he looks back at the 1985 unofficial sequel, Return to Oz. From the nightmare fuel that was the Wheelies, to the bonkers behind-the-scenes goings on to even get this film made, we discuss at length how the project came about, all its cast and characters, and what people think of it today.…

43:35

We go full '90s nostalgia in this latest Two Geeks episode, as we look back at the Mighty Max toys! From the various (and tiny) versions of the Mighty Max playsets to its surprisingly dark cartoon TV series, we remember a much simpler time for kids in the early '90s. We also discuss: Was Max's dad somewhat irresponsible? Max's origins in Polly Pocket Morgan's 'enormous head' Why Tom threw away all his toys The harrowing TV finale episode Do you remember the Spruce Moose episode of The Simpsons?

It's time to start... running! This episode, we’re hurtling – in our metaphorical rocket-sleds – back to 1987 for a retrospective of dystopian action flick The Running Man, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. 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 Morgan's favourite movie one-liner of all time When Morgan met The Rock Tom Jones' excellent performance in Mars Attacks The awkward fan question at An Audience with Arnie You can get in touch at podcast@twogeekstwobeers.com , or via Facebook , Twitter or Instagram .

"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?

For this episode, Morgan teaches Tom all about the history of the Mad Max film franchise, starting with 1979's Mad Max starring Mel Gibson, and continuing to 2024's latest instalment.
