In 2006, the Geek Syndicate was born. And who came roaring out but a pair of crazy-yet-loveable geeks by the names David “Monts” Monteith and Barry “Nuge” Nugent. Producing a weekly (well most of the time) podcast celebrating and commenting all aspects of geek life GS is one of the longest running geek related podcasts in the UK. It’s critically acclaimed, irreverent, touching, intellectual, nonsensical, fairly drunken, incredibly sexy, hilarious…er…and stuff.
Finally the Dissecting Worlds pair get back on the beat and bring
together the conclusions from series 2 on Law & Order and Crime &
Punishment in this bumper episode.
In so doing they look at the subject in Vampire fiction. They
consider the seperation of the Judicary in genre fiction. Ask why
does Jonah.J.Jameson hate spiderman? They also ponder the
relationship between Babylon 5 security and the Chief Constable of
South Wales. Sigmund Freud and TV's Sherlock help with enquiries,
and Starfleet Security's job spec is considered.
On the way they also consider the shady godlen dagger wielding
almost respectable genre cousin of Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Horror -
Crime Fiction & telly - CSI ends up walking into a door
taking the jury system with it and Morse may fall down some
stairs.
Harry Potter, Capes and Tights and Dredd also guest star, With some
parochial Marvel movie news. Ed McBain & She Hulk are
mentioned in dispatches.
Kehhar gets confused bettween honor/guilt culture (refering to
honour and face which are the same thing - the dolt!) &
gets told off by his wife.
It's just like an early epsiode of the Sweeney really but without
the smoking.
They might even mention The Wire in an epsiode with more
conclusions than the Return of the King movie.
