Season 3 of the smash hit FX/Hulu show “The Bear” roared to life just days ago, but Will Poulter (the actor who plays fan-favorite Luca) and 2014 F&W Best New Chef Dave Beran had been prepping for weeks. Poulter — like his co-star Jeremy Allen White — staged with Beran at his Santa Monica restaurant Pasjoli to learn how to accurately portray a professional chef onscreen. The lessons went so well, Beran says he’d hire Poulter as a cook — even despite a messy mishap with a pastry bag. The two dished all about getting kitchen culture right on and offscreen, what it takes to be at the top of your craft, and the pure magic of a great restaurant service.

We have some big (and hopefully rather sad) news to bring you... for now at least, this will be the final Two Geeks Two Beers episode after 10 years of the podcast. We explain fully our reasons for ending the series, but fear not! It's more of a hiatus than a series finale, and we already have a new podcast in the pipeline. For this special episode, we each pick our best, worst and most bonkers cult TV finales. Thanks SO much to every single one of you who have listened to the podcast at any point over the past decade.

55:57

For this episode, we finally tackle a subject we have been too intimidated to try for years: the WWE. Now that Tom is a noob fan of wrestling, he attempts to teach Morgan all about the Golden Era of the WWE (or the WWF as it was then): the 1980s.

58:37

"I'm Batman!" For this episode, Morgan teaches Tom all about Tim Burton's excellent 1989 revival of Batman, starring Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson. The film gave a new lease of life to Bruce Wayne, ushering in a new era of superhero movies that arguably led to Spider-Man, X-Men, the MCU and beyond. In the episode, we discuss the ridiculous number of actors and directors linked to the project, Batman's unnatural and awkward Batsuit, and much more.…

"Round and round the garden... like a teddy bear?!" It's the annual Two Geeks Halloween special, and this year we look back at the downright terrifying 1992 one-off BBC mockumentary: Ghostwatch. Starring Michael Parkinson, Sarah Greene and Craig Charles, the special spooked the entire UK when it aired, with many believing it was a real broadcast from a haunted house. While many loved it, it was met with criticism from many, and had real-life tragic consequences. To this day, we're still terrified by it! We discuss: Tom's 'real' ghost story that made him believe in ghosts Why Crimewatch and Casualty were scarier than they should have been Michael Parkinson's surprisingly excellent acting…

For this episode, we’re diving into the world of the one and only Judge Dredd, where one man stands between order and chaos – and he’s got a killer jawline! Morgan is taking Tom through a mini history lesson of the famous franchise, from its comic book beginnings to its big screen adaptations starring Sylvester Stallone and Karl Urban. We discuss everything from Stallone's amazing delivery as Dredd, a surprising British tabloid newspaper's connection to the series, its inspiration from a crude reggae star and much more. And a big shoutout to our latest Patreon supporters: Bill Gudde and Tom Rye!…

We're most definitely not in Kansas anymore... For this episode, Tom is terrifying and confusing Morgan in equal measure, as he looks back at the 1985 unofficial sequel, Return to Oz. From the nightmare fuel that was the Wheelies, to the bonkers behind-the-scenes goings on to even get this film made, we discuss at length how the project came about, all its cast and characters, and what people think of it today.…

Looky-looky, we’ve got Hooky! For this episode, Morgan takes Tom back to 1991 and the history of the classic Peter Pan movie Hook, starring the late great Robin Williams. In the episode, we drunkenly discuss: Our genuine surprise at the movie's bad reviews How Michael Jackson could have been Peter Pan Was Rufio cool or lame? The underrated brilliance of Bob Hoskins Why Thudbutt was the greatest cinema character of all time The incredible food scene You can get in touch at podcast@twogeekstwobeers.com , or via Facebook , Twitter or Instagram .

We go full '90s nostalgia in this latest Two Geeks episode, as we look back at the Mighty Max toys! From the various (and tiny) versions of the Mighty Max playsets to its surprisingly dark cartoon TV series, we remember a much simpler time for kids in the early '90s. We also discuss: Was Max's dad somewhat irresponsible? Max's origins in Polly Pocket Morgan's 'enormous head' Why Tom threw away all his toys The harrowing TV finale episode Do you remember the Spruce Moose episode of The Simpsons?

"When Eric eats a banana..." For this episode, Tom teaches Morgan all about a very British superhero, Eric Wimp aka Bananaman! From his Nutty magazine beginnings to its potential movie spinoff, we delve into the history of the loveable, if rather inept at times, Bananaman. Surprised that TV the episodes were only 5 minutes long, we also rewatch and react to the first episode. We discuss: Who's better? Superman or Bananaman? Who the heck was Peter Pest? Where does Superman hide his cape? Who knew crows liked bananas? Was Bill Oddie a naturist or a naturalist?

We don't need another beer-o... For this episode, Morgan teaches Tom all about the history of the Mad Max film franchise, starting with 1979's Mad Max starring Mel Gibson, and continuing to 2024's latest instalment.
