GSN PODCAST: Grouchy Old Geeks - Episode 7

E

Welcome to Grouchy Old Geeks, a monthly podcast that discusses everything and anything in geek news, from the Statler and Waldorf of British podcasts hosts. Previously GoG was called Comic Book Outsiders, and we've been podcasting for 9 years. We decided a rebrand and refresh was in order to reflect how the show has changed over the years. This episode Steve and Scott start off with some news and reviews, with Scott predicting the future of all films in a few years time. For our main feature we talk about the Marvel Netflix series Luke Cage. If you haven't seen the show, or haven't finished watching it, then don't worry as we have a non-spoiler discussion about it before going into spoilers and giving you plenty of warning, so you might have to pause just the last bit to listen to later on. If you would like to get in touch with the show you can email us at [email protected], you can find our Facebook page at www.grouchyoldgeeks.com or you can follow us on Twitter @SteveAryan and @ScottGrandison
