In episode 6 we respond to some
listener comments regarding the new Robin Hood tv show (SPOILER ALERT). We discuss what we think
of heroes so far and reveal some casting news for the show. We also cover the upcoming Buffy season eight comic. There are also
our thoughts on the new Rocky movie, the worldstorm comics and the Minx range of comics being aimed at the teenage girl market. The final nail is hammered into Garth Ennis' Boys. A listener is surprised with an
impromptu phone call...so remember next time it could be you! Also for the first
time we actually discuss some gaming namely Superman Returns and Marvel Ultimate Alliance (Dr
Strange rules!!) on the Xbox
360. Finally the name's Syndicate...Geek
Syndicate. At last we review Casino Royale (MILD SPOILER ALERT). Comments[0] |
Thu, 23 November 2006 So we are 10 podcasts in and by now you must be wondering what happens after an episode ends. Well wait no more in this special episode the skype recording software was left running without Dave's knowledge and we decided to put out the results. Learn what the Worldstorm is as well as our concerns about the Boys. We also cover Star Wars Legacy, The Exterminators, DMZ and the Walking Dead. We also decided just whose side were on with Marvel's Civil War. By the end of this episode you will also learn just what the Geek Syndicate fears the most, even more than lions or nutters who think they are werewolves. Apologies to listeners who don't read comics as this special is nearly all about comics. Give it a listen anyway you may like what you hear...enjoy. Comments[0] |

In this episode we celebrate our 10th podcast. Now we know this is our 5th episode but with our special episodes this makes ten. We also wanted something to celebrate so there! Anyway after the fanfare or lack of dies down we get back to our mission of talking crap. We reveal our plans to save the Halo movie, a new sword and sorcery animated film with a seriously epic voice cast. The potential train wreck that could be Babylon 5 The Lost Tales is covered. If it's sex, politics and intrigue with a sci fi slant you after we look at the upcoming Battlestar Galactica spin off Capica. For our special feature we drag Shane Chebsey, one of the organisers of next month's Birmingham comic show kicking and screaming off the street to discuss such loft topics as Booze, the thin line between geeks and psychos, why Ultimate Avengers is so crap oh and some stuff about his work with small press and some exclusive insight and information on next month's comic show. Yes and once again we bitch about Smallville and Torchwood. Comments[0] |
Wed, 15 November 2006 Years passed and rumours began to rumble through the outland kingdoms about a pair of fearless adventurers. Warriors, who roamed trackless deserts, mighty mountains and shining seas. These rumours grew into legends about these men who were at once; buccaneers, slaves, rouges and now Geeks for hire. This is the tale of the time the Geek Syndicate crossed swords with the keeper of the vaults of Telos. Their quest was to find classic sword and sorcery movies lost in the mists of time and space. To discard the unworthy (dungeons and dragons) and bring back the treasured few (Lord of the rings, Conan, Excalibur) for the whole kingdom to enjoy, no matter the risk. Come with me now and listen to a Podcast of high adventure! Comments[1] |

In this
episode we argue over...sorry I mean we discuss and debate in an intelligent
manner the merits of a talking yoda mug vs a talking usb tardis. We have a
few listener shout outs before celebrating the demise of the Fantastic Four
cartoon. We give a brief nod to fallen heroes in this case Jack Palance and
composer Basis Poledouris There are
also reviews of Nightly News issue 1, The Helltown novel as well as a couple of
words on the upcoming Superman returns game on the Xbox 360. We also review the
title track for the new James bond film. We also reveal details of our first
ever competition! Warning: This Podcast contains explicit language, one
scene of female impersonation and even more explicit singing. Comments[0] |
Mon, 6 November 2006 To all the Geek Syndicate listeners, my name is Bucky a friend of the guys you will know if you listen to the show. I received this mp3 by encrypted email from David yesterday with intructions that should I receive no word from either of them by monday I should publish this podcast. As yet I have been unable to reach Barry or David and I fear the worst. I told them not to review the first three episodes of Torchwood that there are those that might not like what they have to say. That there would be factions outside of the law,beyond the government who would stop at nothing to stop Geek Syndicate from revealing massive spoliers for each of the three episodes. Sadly after listening to the show I was more right I could have dreamed. Listen to perhaps the Geek Syndicate's last ever podcast and make your own minds up. Comments[0] |
