I am joined by long time listener, and good friend of mine, Jan Hryckowian as we go through our favourite Grim Dark Films & TV Shows. Grim Dark is that bleak, dead dystopian future that we are always warned about, and many can forsee, but never believe will happen. Jan & I go through each one and talk about them, giving our thoughts on them and what is good about them. We go into detail about the differences in how each one varies but are all similar in the over-arching storylines. We throw in some curveballs and some little knowns as well as go for the big guns, mixing in some excellent music from our chosen films & tv shows. I hope you enjoy! ...
A first podcast from us in what seems like forever, a first since our rebrand to Big Geek Life and I am joined by Stewart from Social Echo, the place in which we have recorded this episode, and who have kindly allowed us to use their equipement.

There are a few outlandish statements in this! ...
Fresh from a Christmas and New Year break, Alex and I jump straight into the most overrated films and actors/actresses. We don't hold back! There are just some films and franchises that people rave about but are blinded by the truth. What do we *really* think about Twighlight? Was La La Land *really* Oscar worthy? Which Star Wars film does Alex think is supremely overrated? Who is the actor who has just flittered about and had 1 or 2 good roles? We reveal all, and more, in this weeks show, which has the odd swear word in it, just to let you know. 2 guys, a high horse on the moral high ground (not you Obi-Wan!) What is your overrated film? Let us know! ...
