Fate, Luck & Karma: Geek Culture with a Side of Strange

The team is back to navigate the weird and wonderful corners of the geek-sphere, starting with a deep dive into the teaser for Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day. Is it a spiritual successor to Close Encounters, or something much darker? We weigh up the theories on what "the truth" really looks like in 2026. Meanwhile, Dean has been tackling Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary, but he’s found himself slightly distracted by the AI’s voice. If you’ve ever wanted to explore the cosmos with a companion that sounds suspiciously like a Tesco self-checkout machine, this is the review for you. "Unexpected item in the docking area," anyone? We also take a moment to pay our respects to the legendary Robert Duvall following his recent passing at 95, reflecting on a career that spanned from To Kill a Mockingbird to The Godfather. Plus: Anniversary Fever: We look ahead at the massive cinematic milestones hitting in 2026 - can you believe Rocky is turning 50 and Top Gun is hitting 40? With the premiere of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, we find ourselves revisiting Discovery to see how the foundations of the 32nd century are holding up. All this and more, packed into our latest recording. Be sure to leave us a comment, review, or even a voice note via our WhatsApp - we'd love to hear from you! Want to get in touch? Send us a text!

The team cast a wide net across the geeky world in this episode, giving their first reactions to the Masters of the Universe 2026 trailer, wonder when we'll see Orko, and consider how good a match Idris Elba is for Man-At-Arms. Plus Dean digs into the archives to give some much needed airtime to a 1983 Masters of the Universe story on vinyl (you need to hear the intro song) and the team unpick some of the hidden and not-so-hidden Easter eggs sprinkled through the teaser - how many did you catch? Staying with Masters of the Universe, we resurrect our "Unnecessary Censorship" feature, but this time with a bit of a He-Man spin. While we're firmly back in the 80s, we also give our take on the recently relaunched and reimagined M.A.S.K. vehicles and figures, with Jay explaining why he *cancelled* his pre-orders... From there we explore some stunning fundraising work from the Alberta Ghostbusters, show some love to a one-of-one Vigo the Carpathian custom action figure, show a little less love to the latest Ghostbusters book from Magnoli, wonder what SMART bricks mean for Lego lovers - and why they're only currently paired with Star Wars Lego for now, and consider just how likely serious injury is when you're wearing a pair of Crocs Lego shoes. All this, and much more, squeezed into a little over 30 minutes. Be sure to leave us a comment, review, or even a voice note via our WhatsApp - we'd love to hear from you! Want to get in touch?

In the first of a new wider-ranging Fate, Luck & Karma, join Dean, Theo and Jay as they explore Ghostbusters news... and a whole lot more. We'll talk about why we made the decision to cover not just Ghostbusters, but also stories from the wider geeky and paranormal worlds (and don't worry, we'll of course still cover Ghostbuster news as it arises, but as we say in the intro, there's a big geeky world out there, and we want to explore it with you!). So, listen in to learn more about the eye-wateringly expensive Pokémon Lego range - which, as a little sidenote, sold out the Gift With Purchase extras while we were recording this episode - hear about how the Netflix Ghostbusters animated series is nowhere to be seen in 2026, how vampire movie Sinners flew the flag for horror at the Golden Globes, how the team behind Weapons are heading up a new Mummy movie, plus hear how we felt after the climactic finale of Stranger Things. All of this, plus our reactions to the first four teasers for Avengers: Doomsday! Let us know your thoughts by leaving us a comment wherever you find this episode, or you can drop us a line on our social media channels or through our WhatsApp. It's a New Year, it's a new season, and it's a whole new world the geeky and the strange to explore.

In this episode, we’re diving into the ultimate Ghostbusters Christmas Gift Guide - from budget-friendly stocking fillers to the eye-watering £1000+ collectibles that make your wallet scream louder than a terror dog. And if you act fast, you'll have them under the tree in time for Christmas...

In this festive, franchise-powered episode of Fate, Luck & Karma, hosts Dean, Jay and Theo from the West Midlands Ghostbusters welcome special guests Bill and Phil from Ghostbusters Northern Ireland. The crew dive into the heartwarming “Pass The Trap” Christmas campaign - a global Ghostbusters community project encouraging franchises worldwide to film themselves passing a ghost trap, spreading seasonal cheer and messages of unity across the fandom. The team also grapple with the shocking revelation that they wildly overestimated the value of a screen-used Ghostbusters trap on eBay with plenty of laughs and a healthy dose of collector-reality. Staying on the auction theme, they check out both a screen-used truck last seen being driven by Egon Spengler in Ghostbusters Afterlife, and a fan-built Ecto-1 currently up for grabs, discussing authenticity, value, and dream-garage fantasies. To round off the episode, Jay drops expert-level collecting tips, sharing the best hidden corners of the internet for tracking down essential Ghostbusters merch, rare bargains, and last-minute Christmas gifts for fans of proton packs, ghosts, and all things spooky-fun. Packed with Ghostbusters community spirit, collecting insights, and festive franchise energy, this episode is a must-listen for fans gearing up for the holidays, or just hunting for that next great piece of gear.

Fresh from Halloween 2025, join Dean, Jay, Theo and a not particularly chatty ghost for this latest episode of Fate, Luck & Karma: A Ghostbusters Fan Podcast. In just over 30 minutes, you'll hear the team talk about... How we now know that Ray Stantz was researching ghosts at least five years before the Ghostbusters movie took place in 1984. All this, plus our latest attempts to get more words of wisdom from our resident spirit radio using ghost. Who, to manage expectations, doesn't say a lot in this episode. But in their defence, it is the post-Halloween season come-down, so we can cut 'em some slack. So if you love Ghostbusters, the paranormal, movie collectables or simply enjoy hearing three geeky Brits talking about all of the above and more, listen to Fate, Luck & Karma: S02E27. And did we mention there's listeners in 80 countries now? These little Ghostbusters have gone global, so join the worldwide sensation (if you use the term loosely) that everyone is talking about (again, not factually accurate) and give Fate, Luck & Karma a listen, a review, a comment and a subscription - you'll make the team happy on both sides of the etheric plane!

Five ghost stories. One haunted radio. Zero chill. Spooky season is back - and so is the Paranormal Takeover. Dean, Jay, and Theo dive into five ghost stories sent in by listeners, but things take a strange (and hilarious / weirdly / oddly sensible) turn when they fire up the spirit radio app. Between eerie whispers, questionable coincidences, and a spectral PSA about hydration, the gang tries to decide what’s real, what’s random, and what’s just plain ridiculous. Can you hear anything that the team miss? Let us know! We've got contributions from Alba Ghostbusters, the Welsh Ghostbusters, Cleaning Up The Town author Clare Bueno, the Texas Ghostbusters and one particularly creepy childhood story from the West Midlands Ghostbusters own Jay McDonald. Expect laughter, light scares, and the kind of ghostly chaos only Fate, Luck & Karma can summon. Plus, if you've got a story that you want to share for a future Paranormal Takeover episode, reach out through any of our social channels. As always, we're ready to believe you! So settle in, dim the lights, draw the curtains and get ready for real-world spooky stories and the electronic crackle of spirit radios: perfect as we speed towards Halloween.

Strap on your proton packs, because Dean, Jay and Theo are back with another wild ride through the world of Ghostbusters! This week kicks off with Spotify once again proving it has no clue what Theo is actually saying — and honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way. From there, the guys geek out over the record-breaking cash raised at Ghostbusters Day 2025 at Hook & Ladder 8 in New York, proving once again that bustin’ really does make us feel good. Collectors, hold onto your wallets: the long-awaited HasLab Ecto-1 shipping notifications are dropping, and the hype is very, very real. Meanwhile, friend of the show Ivan delivers another one of his “unpopular opinions” that might just split the fandom right down the middle. Of course, the team can’t resist speculating about what Hasbro might unleash at the Pulse Showcase at New York Comic Con 2025 — spoilers: they’ve got wish lists longer than Slimer’s snack receipts. And because spooky season is creeping closer, the guys want YOU to send in your best paranormal tales for the upcoming Paranormal Takeover episode. Ghost stories, weird noises in the attic, possessed ZX Spectrums — nothing’s too strange for this bunch. If you’re into Ghostbusters news, Hasbro toy gossip, Ecto-1 excitement and plenty of spooky fan fun, this episode’s got more ectoplasm than Egon’s lab notes.

Join Dean, Jay and Theo for the latest episode of Fate, Luck & Karma: A Ghostbusters Fan Podcast. In this ep, the team acknowledge that the range of Ghostbusters figures they spent most of the previous episode complaining about have, in fact, been so successful, Hasbro need to do a second production run. So... there's that. Plus, we look at more unpopular Ghostbuster opinions - this time from the Wheat State Ghostbusters, Palmetto State Ghostbusters, Reel Ghostbusters, the Wrestling Ghostbuster and Sin City Ghostbusters, - celebrate the genius work of a prop builder who's made a gingerbread proton pack, and also shamelessly self promote the upcoming West Midlands Ghostbusters comic con appearances at Coventry and Worcester here in the UK.

In this post-San Diego Comic Con episode of "Fate and Karma," the West Midlands Ghostbusters dive into a spirited discussion about the Ghostbusters franchise, exploring unpopular opinions from fellow fans, franchise members and from other chapters around the world. Hosts Dean Reilly, Jay Wood and Theo Wilson debate everything from the merits of Ghostbusters vs Ghostbusters 2, if Ghostbusters Afterlife was a better movie than Ghostbusters Frozen Empire, whether cosplay props and uniforms need to be screen accurate, and the impact of the 2016 reboot. With their usual humour and passion, they tackle topics like merchandise, character arcs, and the evolution of the franchise, inviting listeners to share their own Ghostbusters hills that they'd die on. Plus they share if they love or hate the Ghostbusters Ecto Glow figures and Ecto-1 vehicle (spoiler: they hate them. Like, really hate them).

Join Dean, Jay and Theo as the team reflect on a busy few weeks. The West Midlands Ghostbusters have been in the same room as Bill Murray - thanks to his New Worlds tour coming to town - collaborated with the East Midlands Ghostbusters at the Monopoly Events Midlands Comic Con at the NEC, expanded the FLK family by picking up the Trick Or Treat Studios Wall-Breaker Slimer and decided that yes, Theo definitely should wear the Ghostbusters Crocs on his wedding day. Plus we share some great Ghostbuster merch money off deals available right now, Jay talks about taking care of your mental health, and sparks an idea that might just lead to a baton passing relay race of Ghostbusters up and down the UK...

Ghostbusters Crocs: Kicking Open the Containment Unit (In Style) Yes, you heard right—Ghostbusters-themed Crocs have entered the material plane.

These comfy kicks are already sparking buzz across Ghostbusters Reddit, TikTok, and collectors' groups alike. Hasbro Pulse Strikes Again: 1984-Style Proton Pack Another major talking point is the newly revealed Hasbro Pulse Ghostbusters Proton Pack, designed to mimic the classic 1984 look.

Join Dean, Jay and Theo as the team celebrate two whole years of podcasting - and like all the best parties, they've invited the neighbours! In this special Ghostbusters franchise spotlight episode, we look to the East - specifically, to the East Midlands Ghostbusters, to welcome the 10 year+ group to the podcast. You'll hear a little about their background, how the franchise got started and where it's progressed, hear some truly heart-warming stories of the great work they've done for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and with local charities too. In fact, if you want to support their main charity wherever you are in the world, then pop along to https://www.heartlinkchildrenscharity.co.uk/ or just search for "Heart Link Charity Leicester" to find out more. All this, plus we discuss how one member of the franchise has been a regular on British TV recently, and devote far too much airtime to talking about toast, toasters, and spreads that could be combined with toast. In fact, you'll get to the point where toast stops even sounding like a word. And yes, you'll even hear the phrase "meaty beverage".

Join Dean, Jay and Theo as they pack a whole heap of Ghostbusters news into just 30 minutes. You'll hear the guys discuss how Ernie Hudson manages to make himself even more endearing by supporting a drive for collecting puppy food (although this doesn't land quite how you'd expect with most of the team), as well as why he wants to get "down and dirty" in any Ghostbusters Frozen Empire sequel. Plus, we dive into a transdimensional cross-rip's worth of new Ghostbusters merch, from the impressive looking new Ghost Trap from Spirit Halloween, the TWO huge Stay Puft Inflatables from HalloweenCostumes.com, Pop Culture Coffee's Ghostbusters themed coffee blends - with matching mugs - and Fun.com's Ghostbusters sneaker range. All this, plus Dean trying to find an aftershave that smells like marshmallow. Why? Well, you'll just have to listen to the episode to find out.

Join Dean, Jay and Theo for this latest episode in the Fate, Luck & Karma Ghostbusters Fan Podcast series as they talk to a Busters franchise from north of the England and Scotland border: Ghostbusters Alba. You'll hear the team discuss how one creative member has become the go-to place for franchise patches here in the UK, how the team boast no less than SIX Ecto vehicles, their stunning £10k+ fundraising efforts, and much more. Plus, we explore culturally tricky topics like just how bad is Buckfast Tonic Wine, if there's an East vs West divide in the country, how if you get beaten up in Scotland at least the assailant will have a smile on his face, and if REAL Ghostbusters in Scotland wear kilts. (Spoiler: they do). So join us to hear memories of the first time Ghostbuster Alba team members saw the original movie on the big screen, and get up to speed on what's next from one of the UK's newest GB Chapters.
