In GBA 303 we get better acquainted with Tyrone Lewis. He talks about documenting (and growing up within) the spoken word scene, being close to his mum, pop culture, football, editing video, taking photos and performing poems.

HAPPY 20 EPISODES, DARLINGS! We celebrate by watching and discussing one of the most popular children's fantasy movies ever made with the most ear-wormy theme song ever written...THE NEVERENDING STORY! Admit it, you're already singing the song in your head as you're reading this. Good luck trying to get rid of that in the next 48 hours. Join us as we watch the tale of sad-bastard Bastian and his magic book counterpart, Atreyu, as they battle the wilds of Fantasia in an effort to save childhood imagination and keep Dan and I from crippling boredom! They only succeed in one of these...tune in to find out which one it is!
Jeremy is joined by George Grimwood to relive The Adventures Of Baron Munchausen, the 1989 fantasy directed by Terry Gilliam, as a part of a very wide-ranging discussion covering shared boarding school experiences, The Crystal Maze, the magic of Eric Idle and Falkor the Luckdragon.
