Big Geek Life

I speak to the hilarious Comedian, Actor and professional Dwarf (his words, not mine!) George Coppen about his life, his acting and panto work and his foray into Comedy on the local circuits. George tells me how he got bullied by an algorithm, spent his first time in Panto in cold, dark, Middlesborough, his work with colleagues on other films such as Artemis Fowl and the hilarity they have on set, being Warwick Davis' stand in and having a Dad who was an Ewok in arguable the most well known Sci-Fi film franchise. This is a fantasic interview with a genuinely hilarious man!

After our individual interviews, Dean & Gary wanted to get together with me and just let loose! Dean and Gary go back years and we look into this and chat about how they met, what it was like going up against each other for gigs and also going voer some amazing stories they have, which have me in stitches. These guys are utterly charming and immensely hilarious!

I interview Bristol's much loved son, Comedian and TV Host Justin Lee Collins, in a live Facebook interview at Mr Bulb Tattoo's and Collectables in Bury St Edmunds. Justin and I talk about his early career, how he got into comedy and TV, as well as what he has coming up and what advice he would give to anyone wanting to get into Comedy, Radio or TV.

I have always loved TV, no more so than when I was a child and I want to take you on a nostalgic journey through some of my favourite childhood TV shows, all laced with something a little bit different. No music as such this time round, but something much, much better!

On tonight's show, I am joined by Andrew, my actual neighbour, and I offer up some excellent TV shows that you should definitely add to your binge-watching list, my reasons for these and what I like about them. some are already on peoples list, some are not. Some are hidden nicely away. I try to convert Andrew on some and think I may have won him around! Music is on point, with some excellent tracks laced inbetween some good chat.

We all have our feelings and thoughts about these so-called "franchise films", so on this show I stick my 2p worth in, going over some of the more annoying films that should have stopped at a 1 or 2 but NEVER a 3rd or even an 8th (Fast & Furious I am looking at you!) and why they should have stuck with what they had. All mixed in with some awesome music, as per usual.

In this show I talk all about those films that really should have been left alone, and those that, actually, were'nt that bad (Not all of them, I only have an hour)I also talk about Hollywoods hardon for remaking my generations favourite films and, effectively in the majority of cases, ruining them. Full stop. As always, I have a full accompliment of music to seamlessly shift between films.

With Andrew and Alex joining me, we go through my Twitter, Facebook & Instagram Poll on everyone's favourite Tom Hanks films & whether we agree with the final results, giving our own top 5 as well. We also dissect some of Tom Hanks standout films, some unfamiliar films, and also play a few quotes, whilst adding in a couple of amazing songs, with an absolute nostalgia fest at the end of the show! With so many films to go through, it is a hard slog, and even harder to pick a top 5 because of...

**_I'm gonna take you back, way back, back into time........_** ****Back to when music and films were at their peak, back to when clothing was questionnable and attitudes were more chilled. Back to the Decade of my birth. ** _ _** I give my opinions and thoughts on my favourite films of the 80's, along with some absolutely classic 80's music.

_****_**_A live, hour long onli_** ** __** ** _ne radio show now a full show Podcast? Who'd have thunk it?_** _ ****_ **** ****This is my maiden voyage into Radio (and now Podcasting) so be gentle. Actually, don't. Be savage. Be honest! I play some excellent music, review some excellent films and generally jump on my high horse!

_******A live, hour long online radio show that is now a full show Podcast? Who'd have thunk it?** ****_ I am joined by Alex from local business Colossal Escape to talk about our most unashamedly naff Guilty Pleasures for Film & TV. We dissect each one in turn, swaying off point, occasionally, before swerving right back on point. We also have some super guilty pleasures music to go with them, all of which are tied in with our favourites.

Andrew and Alex join me as we battle it out with our own "Suicide Squads". Each of us has a team of 5 characters from any movie ever made; although there are certain rules that we explain in the show, and we must argue the case for each member of our team as to why they would win in a fight, or lose, and then as we each reveal our team, argue how each team would fair against the rest. Once we have fought over our teams, we fight over a "Combined FTVShow Suicide Squad" and pick 1 person per...

I chat with Actor and local Celeb, "Christmas" Chris Clark, the man behind the amazing new Christmas single from a talented group of children, Christmas Bubble. We talk about his inspiration for the song as well as how he put it together. We also speak about his awesome No-Budget film, Shadows of a Stranger, which is currently on Amazon Prime and features a very interesting cast, including The Doctor, Colin Baker! A brilliant listen for anyone wanting to make a difference, create their own...

Alex, Andrew and I pick out our Rising Stars of the Film and TV World who are set to make a big spolash in the future, if they continue on their paths, and what sort of films we would love to seem them in to help push themselves into the limelight even more. We discuss each one on merit and look at their acting style and where we believe would be the best path for them moving forward in their career. We laugh, we cringe and we make some bold statements!

Alex and I look at the 2 most popular streaming sites in the world and discuss what is the best one. We discuss the quality and quantity of stuff available on each and which one is the more relevant as streaming and Home Cinema increases in popularity. We look at our favourite programmes on each and look at what can be done to give us the consumer more value for our money! We go all in on them, slating and praising where needed. With random facts, random information and some awesome music...

If you love, or hate, games & their film adaptations, this is the show for you! Andrew and Alex join me as we go through some of the film adaptations of some very excellent video games. Gamers most definitely did not rejoice with most, if not all, of these. We all dissect some of the most commonly known adaptations, going over plot, dialogue and casting issues, giving our opinions on them, and not holding back either! We all disagree on certain films, and we agree on some others, stating why...

This is part 1 of my love affair with Disney. Alex from Colossal Escape joins me as we discuss our favourite Disney films, talk Disneyland Paris, Disney Blues, a very strange Disney fact and play some amazing Disney music. For those who LOVE Disney, this is the show for you!

Alex and I delve into the films of Star Trek, from OS (Original Series for those not in the know) through Next Gen (Next Generation) and onto the reboots. We look at how each film has expanded on the corresponding series and how they moved the characters on, or not, and the overall feel of each film. We also discuss our favourite parts and compare how each film holds up in this day and age. We throw in some fun facts and give our very "high horse" opinions on each of the films, disecting...

After the sad news that broke just before last weeks show, Alex and I thought it only fitting to dedicate this show to the man who almost singlehandedly changed peoples views on taboo topics, as well as the cinema world, with his well crafted, humanised characters with superhero traits, Mr Stan Lee. As the world mourns the loss of such a figurehead, we talk about the life of the man, his creations and the impact they have had on many many people in the world, and what his cinematic and comic...

I am joined by Andrew, my actual next door neighbour, and MASSIVE DC fan as we discuss and dissect our favourite parts about each Studio; Film & TV, and TRY to decide which is better. We touch on those turkeys that dog both studios but also add a bit of history to some of our favourite superheroes. As always, the music is on point, but this time it is ALL about these Studios..... some speakers were damaged during the making of this show.....
