Two Geeks Two Beers

Tom Eames and Morgan Jeffery

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.

Tiny Toon Adventures
'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! Yes, it's the early '90s cartoon that preceded the Animaniacs and saw a new generation of Looney Tunes characters, from the town of Acme Acres. In the episode, we discuss: How did Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd work together in the same teacher's lounge?

Commando
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, bonkers plot and talks of a sequel. We also drunkenly chat about: The one-off villain that was Bennett and all his fabulous-ness Why it's the perfect pre-wedding film How it stole a line from James Bond Did Bill Duke call Arnie 'pig ass' or 'big ass'?

Goodnight Sweetheart
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 singing voice, we tackle one of British comedy's strangest premises, yet an underrated show that deserves a second look. We also discuss: The show's complicated time travel rules - is it more Lost or Terminator? Birds of a Feather's strangely sullen intro Is bigamy OK if it's in two different eras? Gary would say so Was Gary's wife in the '90s all that bad? How it might have been in the same cinematic universe as another British sitcom classic Did Gary solve one of the greatest serial killer mysteries of all time? Why Ballykissangel made us both very angry Could it return? Clips used: Goodnight Sweetheart (BBC/Britbox) Birds of a Feather (BBC/ITV) Many Happy Returns (BBC) Please leave us a review here!

You've Got Mail and Serendipity
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 you might be right.... In the episode, we discuss: Can John Smiths be classed as a 'Christmas' beer? Don't put on Christmas jumpers you bought a few years ago. It will crush you. Do you have a 'going to bed' film of choice?

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 missing octopus, we'll take you through the excellent film. And maybe you can help us find out if we really did have a pub chat with a Red Dwarf and EastEnders actor...

Ultraviolet (1998)
Remember that vampire series on Channel 4 that starred Jack Davenport and Idris Elba before they were famous and it only ran for six episodes in 1998? No? Well, Morgan's going to refresh your memory.

Oh, and Tom forgets Morgan's birthday. We also discuss: What an era for vampires the late '90s were Why you never say the word 'vampire' Why sexy Jack Davenport can't be bothered in this show And neither can Idris Why Tom thinks it's 'Pearl Harbour with vampires' Will we ever feel old enough to sip brandy and wear double jackets?

The Three Musketeers (1993)
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. Tom thought he'd seen it, but when he watched it the night before, this was apparently not the case. But what did he think of it? We discuss: Why are they called Musketeers when they only seem to use swords? Tom's concept of something having 'no legacy' purely because he's never heard of it The brilliance of Dogtanian and Albert the Fifth Musketeer Why the film has, according to Morgan, a "highly f***able" cast Tom's weird dissing of Chris O'Donnell Why we're still annoyed about Drew from Neighbours' death What the hell have they done to Paul McGann?

Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds
"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. Morgan gets flabbergasted at the album's enduring popularity, as he hears songs like 'Eve of the War' and 'Forever Autumn' for the first time, much to Tom's dismay. We discuss: The gravitas of Richard Burton and the surprisingly decent David Essex The gall and the gumption of Jeff Wayne sticking his name on the album and spending A LOT of money - but it worked! How Tom grew up with an actual typewriter Morgan's most hated words: 'rock opera' Justin Hayward's sci-fi pedigree How Tom had a mandatory dance class at school. Just him? Morgan's impressions are back: Al Pacino, Sean Connery, Marlon Brando and more!

In a rather drunken episode, we discuss: Morgan's recent stag do and his downright diva behaviour The fun and mystique of arcades - or 'arcade centres' as Tom calls them The light gun myth - did they actually work? Wild Dog's many deaths Time Crisis' insistence of using randomly generic names for its heroes Croad Macgalain - the most underrated action star ever?

The Lake House
People power has spoken! After literally hundreds a few tweets for #DoTheLakeHouse, Morgan has finally given in and is allowing Tom to do a whole episode on one of his favourite films of all time: The Lake House. After an hour of drunkenly banging on about the 2006 romcom starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, the boys soon discover that it's far geekier than they ever thought. But will Morgan agree with Tom that it's one of the greatest movies ever made? Stranger things have happened. In the episode, we discuss: Morgan's brain melting as Tom tries to make sense of The Lake House's time-travel rules Is Morgan a sexy name? The sad decline of DVD bonus features Tom's weird annual ritual of watching a flop film from 2006 every autumn Magical dogs What can you get away with putting in the magical mailbox? We also struggle through the episode while drinking a very strong stout. Make sure to check out all previous episodes, including time-travelling escapades like Back to the Future, Bill and Ted and Doctor Who. We also of course have our Keanu Reeves special.
