    IT'S THUNDER CUTS 2! That's right, we hit a bit of a scheduling conflict but luckily Gavin saved enough nonsense to cobble together an entire episode! Nonsense includes (but not limited to): How well the mushroom poll is going, plus. what is a mushroom poll? Gavin's Hair and how is it so damn glorious? Whatever "Make it hot" means when ordering a sandwich Can we get a sponsorship with Jammy Dodgers?

It's not what you (or Alex and Gavin) think. Mostly. Alex talks about his favourite action figures that came with their own "shogun armour". Gavin's final pick this week is toast. You'll have to listen to believe it. We also explain how time travel in Japan can quickly get pretty boring, Alex and Dave do a news update while Gavin goes to the bathroom and most of the conversation was fuelled by 4% alcohol.

Alex brings up dolls for boys and how challenging gender norms as a kid can make you a better person. Gavin talks about the greatest constructions ever conceived then tells a story that Alex promptly fills with damned lies! So just your standard story then. We also manage to talk about puppets, map makers for babies and how if you rob the wrong bank then you'll have to fight the Queen (or a champion of her choosing). Enjoy. ;)

David believes that everyone can redeem themselves, even if they do push children from windows. Alex picks two completely separate people and we barely talk about either of them. Pretty standard, by this point. We also can't keep track of all the Khans we know, whether they be a tiger or despotic overlord. We discuss who would play what in future Marvel roles and then by the end we completely lose the plot. Enjoy. ;) You can follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram under Geek Theory Podcast.

Alex gets us talking about good parenting, mostly involving cliffs and how far you can punt your kid from them. Gavin talks about how just because you're no good at accounting, doesn't mean you can't lead a motley crew of pirates through space.

He then questions if turning into a gun is really the best move a leader should take. Alex complains that his crime sprees are being hindered by his lack of gadget synergy. He then comes out with the Klobb. Do you know what that is without looking it up? Of course you don't. Alex gets sent to the burn ward shortly after making this pick. Gavin rages against the most mundane thwarter of evil there ever has been, and together we figure out Avada Kadavras most terrible secret. Then Alex makes a blatant plot to kill David and Gavin, all under the guise of Hallowe'en fun. The fun just does not stop.

(Our first episode and Battle Royale were both our favourite melee and projectile respectively) Alex takes carpenters to task over their favourite tools and prefers to fill volume with bullet. Gavin seemingly takes a very high moral stance on superweapons only to reveal his supervillain nature. David takes the colloquial use of the word "weapon" (In Scotland, it can also mean a person of dangerous idiocy) and we discover that there are a bunch of Pokemon we could totally take in a fistfight. Then there's the usual nonsense, in-jokes and self-made memes that you've come to expect from us. Enjoy. ;) You can follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram under Geek Theory Podcast.

Gavin starts by talking about the benefits of legalising crime in your city to keep it in line. If you can tax it, you can control it. Alex shows he's a genius of picking a final pick by picking all of them. David spins a tale, any size, and hates it when people go organic. We've also got Transformers and Digimon in there, and they aren't even Honourable mentions. They somehow just get shoehorned in.

Here, we've gathered some snippets of conversation from over the last year that didn't fit into the episode, tangents that became their own topic or jokes that Gavin found funny enough to subject you to again. We start by complaining about the hot weather, then proceed to Scottish up Metal Gear. We dissect the anatomy of a "good" pint of Tennents and wonder how exactly the Umbrella Corporation actually makes any money.

We also find out about the Final Spice, put monobrows on different characters to indicate their moral centres and lay down the groundwork on a 90s style sitcom with a lot of heart, and even more laughs.

    We continue our chat about anime and manga with guest host, Ryan. Gavin tries to convince the world (and himself) he's not a pervert. Alex takes a strong stance on harems and Ryan climbs a soapbox to deliver some Ghoulish news. We also manage to tangent wildly while staying on the main topic. (Yes, for the very first time ever) Alex and Ryan develop the weird potato manga they've created into something that could seriously make us some money. (I think) Enjoy. ;)

    This week we continue our (totally planned) Hero Month with our Top Male Protagonists. Gavin takes to the high seas, gets hijacked and is left a sad, broken man. Alex attempts to do anything a spider can, with moderate success. David creates more rifts with his love for pretty boys from the future. We also discuss tea and biscuits, milk techniques(?), Bizarre Adventures and toys. So yeah, needless to say, we don't stay on topic. Enjoy. ;)

    This week, Gavin rates the Bat-family from best to blurst (again?), Alex appreciates a woman who knows how to cast a spell and have a good time (pretty major spoilers for Castlevania season 2: Skip to avoid - 13:30-28:40) and Dave joins The Bride in her quest to execute William. We also describe words, create some new ones and invent a needless family tree and backstory for one of our beloved GTP characters. (No it's not Jean Bernard, sorry) Enjoy. ;) (No personal intro this week, Gavin's throat hurts. To sum up, he's finished Kingdom Heart 3, it's good. He's still playing Resident Evil 2, it's scary. He finally finished watching Assassination Classroom, he cried.)

    This Week, we are celebrating out 1st birthday! So in fine GTP tradition, we continue the trend of not staying focused, talk about food and generally insult each other. Dave really gets into character when talking about his favourite metal manipulator, Al gets emotional when he has to kill all his friends and Gavin is a corporate shill who really appreciates the dynasticism of Ubisoft's UbiArt Framework engine. Enjoy. ;)
