Rob and Andrew take some time out from their other shows for another blast from patriarch of our podcast family - The Geek Show. Aside from the news that Warner Bros. and Amazon may collaborate on a TV project that nobody is ready for (or may even want for that matter), Universal announce that their multi-monster "Dark Universe" may return to the drawing board, and the UK Government's HS2 railway project will interfere with a planned development that makes us pine for Bear Grylls: Trainfighter. Oh, and Japan. It's time we sat down and have a serious talk. After all of that, the guys take inspiration from the very recent Bonfire Night (where the UK celebrates someone attempting to blow up Parliament?), and discuss other historical events that would make good TV shows - which makes us realise that we're programming gods! Now where did we put On The Box ...
