Welcome to Episode #9 of the 4ever in Electric Dreams & CONFESSIONS OF A CURLY MIND co-production - Supple & Lean | A Geekcast. Presented by Imran Mirza from London, UK, and Vahé Vishapakagh Koshayan from Melbourne, Australia, the duo spend some time reconnecting with the 90s cult classic limited run series, The Maxx. Initially unveiled in 1993 by creator Sam Kieth, The Maxx was swiftly picked up by MTV for a thirteen-part series forming part of their Oddities brand in 1995. The premise focuses on a small group of characters and their interpersonal connections that impact them within the perceived real world and an alternate dimension entitled Pangea or The Outback. Vahé and Imran delve deep into the show's backstory, its incredible characters, its unmistakable 90s aesthetic and relish in what is undoubtedly a timeless piece of enthralling fiction. We're also very excited about the show's original music in support of the conversation so please listen out for another Supple & Lean original - 'The Life Of The Isz' featuring Monsignor D'Par Ted. www.4everinelectricdreams.com/ Emanating from London, UK, the 4ever in Electric Dreams website and podcast network is designed to help us celebrate the things we loved growing up and the things that continue to excite and inspire us today.

Welcome to Episode #19 of the 90s State of Mind podcast - a collaborative project between 4ever in Electric Dreams and Blue-in-Green:RADIO. This podcast series typically sees Imran (London, UK) and Rhonda (California, USA) delve into some of their favourite releases from the 90s and for this episode but this episode sees the duo take the conversation in a slightly different direction than usual. In terms of head-to-head confrontations this year, the world was blessed to see The Rock step back into a WWE ring again at this year's Wrestlemania and we have Mike Tyson's in-ring return scheduled for later this year against Jake Paul... both of course pale in comparison to the rivalry that erupted between hip-hop heavyweights Drake and Kendrick Lamar... A feud that has permeated through into so many facets of pop culture, Rhonda and Imran take an in-depth look into the events that have unfolded between the two and assess whether the world is witnessing what The Ringer describes as "the last great rap beef" or whether this is, as Questlove describes, the beef that killed hip-hop. www.4everinelectricdreams.com/ Blue-in-Green:RADIO is a London-based online internet radio station which celebrates 21st century soul, jazz, funk, Latin & hip-hop music. www.blueingreenradio.com TuneIn: bit.ly/2LBK0BD

We want to extend a special thanks to our friends over at Blue-in-Green:RADIO for allowing us to share the enclosed audio. Since the shocking, and frankly horrifying, events of last month, the radio station has made the difficult decision to end phone-ins during their live broadcasts. Although a difficult decision to make, it is one that many have understood to be the only course of action available. Despite the police maintaining that no laws were actually broken, the radio station has no recourse but to put the safety of its presenters and its listeners as its top priority. Blue-in-Green:RADIO have issued an official statement and understandably want to draw a line under the matter. Releasing the full and unedited audio is the radio station's final comment on the matter. Please note that should you decide to listen that discretion is advised as the recording contains extremely strong language and distressing scenes. Blue-in-Green:RADIO is a London-based soul, jazz & funk radio station and you can discover more about the station at: www.blueingreenradio.com

Like a sexier episode of Sesame Street with a slightly insane robot rather than the Count.

As devoted fans of the staggering achievement that was Marvel's Infinity Saga, it would perhaps be fair to say that the ushering in of Marvel's new era has had more than a few bumps in the road. With criticisms ranging from an over abundance of content to a significant dip in quality to personnel changes, reshoots, etc fan support has started to wane. But with their objective hats back on, Vahé and Imran engage in a series of broader MCU-based discussions as well as diving in to more focused conversations on the product. For this episode, the show explores 'She-Hulk: Attorney at Law', 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania' and 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3'.

Welcome to Episode #67 of the Close Encounters of the Nerd Kind podcast which sees Tee-J Sutherland, Dan Collacott and Imran Mirza discuss all things CM Punk. The 2nd September 2023 saw the termination of CM Punk's relationship with AEW following a tumultuous period that saw some well-received matches, promos and rivalries, not withstanding two AEW World Championship title wins. Punk's time in AEW was sadly not without incident however. Following the All Out PPV, 4th September 2022, the press conference after the event saw Punk publicly address a series of backstage frustrations with the company's EVPs, Colt Cabana and members of the press. When confronted in his locker room by Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks, a fight ensued resulting in all participants receiving suspensions. Nine months later, Punk's return to the company was short-lived as another backstage fight broke out between Punk and Jack Perry which was also believed to have involved AEW founder Tony Khan who promptly fired Punk for his behaviour. This episode of CENK addresses the incidents, looks at the catalysts of each and what could have been done differently, plus we look at where Punk goes from here. And finally we look at CM Punk's legacy in AEW as well asking the question, "Is Punk the perennial victim or a self-destructive narcissist?" www.4everinelectricdreams.com/ Emanating from London, UK, the 4ever in Electric Dreams website and podcast network is designed to help us celebrate the things we loved growing up and the things that continue to excite and inspire us today.

We also carry out a detailed conversation into the notion of AI and its burgeoning impact on our lives and, perhaps more specifically, the art that we consume.

After a lengthy hiatus - and with great excitement - the Close Encounters of the Nerd Kind podcast finally unveils Episode #66 and sees Dan, Tee-J and Imran reconnect over their shared passion for square circle related discussions. More specifically, the team are discussing the ground-breaking AEW PPV - broadcast live from Wembley Stadium, Sunday 27th August 2023 - which also saw Tee-J in live attendance with some of our 4ever affiliates, Richard Roth and Richard Iacono.

This podcast series sees Imran (London, UK) and Rhonda (California, USA) delve into some of their favourite releases from the 90s and for this episode, the pair celebrate the 1997 album from the pop pioneer, Janet Jackson's 'The Velvet Rope'.

This episode of the Close Encounters... Minicast sees friend of the show Stuart Giblin join Dan Collacott and Imran Mirza discussing some of Hollywood's most iconic roles and looking at the actors that almost played them. Ralph Macchio as Marty McFly? Eddie Murphy as Winston Zeddemore? Will Smith as Neo? All decisions that were incredibly close to coming to fruition ultimately before the final casting decisions were made. Would we even have wanted to see anything differently? Al Pacino, unquestionably one of the greatest actors of all time, but would anyone have bought into him touting the Millennium Falcon's distinction of having made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs as Han Solo?

Episode #65 of the Close Encounters of the Nerd Kind podcast sees Dan, Imran and Tee-J turn their attention to resolving all of society's woes... Tasked with the responsibility of establishing a new settlement to ensure that humanity survives, what would you do to make sure the same mistakes aren't replicated - would you focus on stopping war, outlawing religion, controlling childbirth? And what elements of human civilisation would you try to preserve? No easy task so tune in to hear which of us becomes a raging communist, an unwitting dictator and an affectionate nostalgic. www.4everinelectricdreams.com/ Emanating from London, UK, and hosted by Dan Collacott, Tee-J Sutherland and Imran Mirza, our 4ever in Electric Dreams website and accompanying podcast is designed to help us celebrate the things we loved growing up and the things that continue to excite and inspire us today.

Episode #64 of the Close Encounters of the Nerd Kind podcast sees Dan, Imran and friend of show, Rich Roth, take a veritable journey through nostalgia as we each look at the forms of entertainment that we now love but that we seemingly missed upon initial release. With an entertaining array of discussion points from music to 90s US sitcoms to 80s teen believe-in-yourself-you-can-do-anything-you-set-your-minds-to movies, we ask how we possibly let some of these treasures slip through our hands first go round. Plus, there's an extensive, fairly nonsenical pre-amble, focusing on coffee, living overseas and Bovril on bread. www.4everinelectricdreams.com/ Emanating from London, UK, and hosted by Dan Collacott, Tee-J Sutherland and Imran Mirza, our 4ever in Electric Dreams website and accompanying podcast is designed to help us celebrate the things we loved growing up and the things that continue to excite and inspire us today.

Tossing aside the notion of the damsel in distress, the team celebrates some of the incredible performances of female-fronted movies citing some of our personal favourite roles and performances.

Episode #58 of the Close Encounters of the Nerd Kind podcast sees the team ponder the increasingly darker portrayals of our big screen super heroes. From the recent depiction of Matt Reeves' grittier and violent representation of 'The Batman' to Sam Raimi's heavily horror-inspired extension of the MCU's Dr Strange narrative, the team looks back at a simpler time when comic book movies where such themes weren't so prevalent within superhero movies. We seem to have moved on from an era of comic book adaptations treated as exclusive content for child- and family-friendly audiences but is the increased level of violence and adult content symptoms of these movies now being geared towards broader audiences or are today's children exposed to so much more now that the boundaries of what constitutes youth content have just evolved?

By the late-90s, WWF wrestlers were well-known to spend 300 days of the year on the road, travelling from one town to the next to perform. The brutal and gruelling lifestyle impacted wrestlers in many ways with many picking up vices including addictions to alcohol, drugs, pills, etc. As explained in the title, Dark Side of the Ring, as a series, gravitates to these challenging stories bringing to light the difficulties wrestlers experienced in a very much bygone era of wrestling. Dan Collacott, Imran Mirza and Tee-J Sutherland, as devoted wrestling fans, review two episodes from the three seasons of the show available. Two heart-breaking stories in their own right, we explore: "The Assassination of Dino Bravo" (season 2, episode 6) "The Montreal Screwjob" (season 1, episode 2) www.4everinelectricdreams.com/ Emanating from London, UK, and hosted by Dan Collacott, Tee-J Sutherland and Imran Mirza, our 4ever in Electric Dreams website and accompanying podcast is designed to help us celebrate the things we loved growing up and the things that continue to excite and inspire us today.

Episode #47 of the Close Encounters of the Nerd Kind podcast sees Dan Collacott joined by Richard Roth and Denis-Jose Francois as the trio look towards depctions of the future in film that - thankfully - did not actually come to pass. Predictions of our future usually tend to be split between societies that run on a level of technology we can only dream of and societies trying to adapt to a bleak and uninspired future devoid of hope. While at times striving to celebrate both visions, this episode explores three movies that delve into the more bleak aspects of what may lie ahead for us all. And while the worst of it may not yet have come to pass for the films selected, and while the films discussed may seem like light years away from our current lives, the team explore a series of worrying parrallels that highlights the science within the fiction.

Episode #46 of the Close Encounters of the Nerd Kind podcast sees Tee-J Sutherland and Dan Collacott joined by long-time listener and even longer-timed friend of the show Stuart Giblin as the team discuss the state of British sitcoms in the UK as once championed the Big Five terrestrial channels. The UK's long-standing history as champions of innovative and inspired new comedy talent has led the way to some defining moments in our rich entertainment history. Cherished sitcom characters like Alan Partridge, David Brent and Basil Fawlty have become engrained into the fabric of this country's comedy lineage and still serve to inspire subsequent generations. But why does it seem that the once-beloved British sitcom has taken a back seat in the eyes of the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 in favour of more generic formats like panel shows? Has comedy moved on? Are sitcoms just too expensive and high-risk for networks to gamble on and are panel shows subsequently easier because they're cheaper to fund? www.4everinelectricdreams.com/ Emanating from London, UK, and hosted by Dan Collacott, Tee-J Sutherland and Imran Mirza, our 4ever in Electric Dreams website and accompanying podcast is designed to help us celebrate the things we loved growing up and the things that continue to excite and inspire us today.

Episode #44 of the Close Encounters of the Nerd Kind podcast sees Dan, Imran and Denis-Jose Francois sit down to discuss the surprising rise of movies that position established villains as the protagonist. Through movies like Joker, Cruella, Suicide Squad, Venom, Dracula Untold, Maleficent... we're seeing more sympathetic presentations of villains we've come to affectionately *hate* for decades. But what inspires a shift like this - are we running out of super hero stories to tell? Is this a move indicative of evolving audience tastes? And what's the future of on-screen villainy if there are no on-screen villains? www.4everinelectricdreams.com/ Emanating from London, UK, and hosted by Dan Collacott, Tee-J Sutherland and Imran Mirza, our 4ever in Electric Dreams website and accompanying podcast is designed to help us celebrate the things we loved growing up and the things that continue to excite and inspire us today.

Welcome to Episode #10 of the 90s State of Mind podcast - a collaborative project between 4ever in Electric Dreams and Blue-in-Green:RADIO. This podcast series sees Imran (London, UK) and Rhonda (California, USA) delve into some of their favourite releases from the 90s and this week, the pair revisit the one-&-only album from incomparable Groove Theory. Released in 1995 through Epic Records - and spearheaded by the classic single 'Tell Me' - the pairing of vocalist Amel Larrieux and producer Bryce Wilson resulted in one of 90s R&B's most beloved projects. Having achieved moderate success upon release, the duo disbanded a few years after their album release and although there have been efforts to resurrect the Groove Theory name, no new full-lengths have come to fruition. The 90s was certainly a prolific decade for each member with Amel Larrieux having established herself as a solo star with the first of what would be five solo albums having been released in 1999 along with multiple guest appearances on projects by The Roots and Guru. Wilson continued his run of excellent productions jumping behind the boards for colossal names like Mary J Blige, Changing Faces and Toni Braxton. Imran & Rhonda delve deep into this definitive 90s R&B album looking at the project, remixes, b-sides, solo projects and efforts to revive the group with vocalist Makeda Davis. www.4everinelectricdreams.com/ Blue-in-Green:RADIO is a London-based online internet radio station which celebrates 21st century soul, jazz, funk, Latin & hip-hop music. www.blueingreenradio.com TuneIn: bit.ly/2LBK0BD

Episode #39 of the Close Encounters of the Nerd Kind podcast sees the team delve into the concept of the immediacy of entertainment, more specifically delving into the conversation around TV shows. While the concept of Netflix and other streaming services had introduced the notion of a complete series being uploaded in one go as something of the new norm, there are small shifts in the release of new shows that hark back to a more traditional weekly release schedule. What factors inform our preferences, and are there advantages to each type of release schedule?

A musical meeting of the minds can be a wonderful thing - it can often feature two or more artists synonymous with a specific genre coming together to create something incredible or, even more inspiring, it can often result in the union of artists from vastly different genres coming together to create something magical.

Episode #33 of the Close Encounters of the Nerd Kind podcast sees the team pick up where Episode #32 left off... so as a follow-up to our conversation about film franchises, we ask the question, which film franchise would we like to see either revisited or resurrected that hasn't actually been subject to the sequel treatment yet. We also wonder whether we'd actually like to revisit certain characters from our childhood favourites like Ferris Bueller or The Goonies - does the joy in their story come from the boundless potential and possibilities their respective movies set out for them and would actually knowing the rest of their story ruin the mystique? www.4everinelectricdreams.com/ Emanating from London, UK, and hosted by Dan Collacott, Tee-J Sutherland and Imran Mirza, our 4ever in Electric Dreams website and accompanying podcast is designed to help us celebrate the things we loved growing up and the things that continue to excite and inspire us today.

Episode #32 of the Close Encounters of the Nerd Kind podcast sees the team delve into the concept of film franchises. Firstly, what actually is a film franchise (a question far more complex to address than it may seem)? We look at some incredibly successful franchises and look at why some fail or perhaps don't resonate with subsequent generations as they should. And we look at what the potential future is for storytelling in this context and whether the small screen could in fact be the big screen's saviour.

Released to universally rave reviews, we look at the why the side stories (The Mandalorian, Rogue One, Solo) are so much more coherent and generally more enjoyable than the main films; how much fan influence has there been on The Mandalorian or is this one creator's vision, and we ask the question if these types of shows are very much the future of these large franchises.

Welcome to Episode #25 of the Close Encounters of the Nerd Kind podcast. Today's episode sees the C.E.N.K. team delve into the concept of modern day conspiracies within the Trump era. Donald Trump's 2016 election campaign could be argued to have ushered in an entirely new perception at how people digest the information they are supplied and their overall trust for the source it emanated from - the term "fake news" is now commonplace as much as the idea of peoples' personal opinions outweighing facts which subsequently brings us into discussions of the rise of Q-Anon and flat earthers.

We caught up with exciting upcoming UK wrestler Chase Alexander to talk about his career, his motivations and inspirations, the independent UK wrestling scene and a look at the industry in general.

TeeJ, Imran and Dan discuss the merits and draw backs of the WWE part time wrestler. Do one off headliners make sense or do they hurt the product, do part time champions cause even more harm or do we need the celebrity and mystique brought by under exposure?

In light of January 2019's Royal Rumble, Tee-J Sutherland, Dan Collacott and Imran Mirza travel back twenty years to Royal Rumble 99 to see assess the complete PPV and marvel about how things have changed.

January 2019. Dan, Tee-J and Imran discuss the recent announced call-ups of NXT's Lacey Evans, Nikki Cross, Heavy Machinery, EC3 and Lars Sullivan. Fingers crossed the future's bright!

2018 was a strange year for Wrestling with more downs than ups in WWE, some interesting progress in the independent scene and a few less hall of famers dying than 2017! Sean, Teej, Dan and Rich take a look back at all that was good and bad from 2018 and their hopes for 2019 (please for the love of everything let it be better!)

Join TeeJ, Dan and Imran as they look at how Women's wrestling has changed for the better since the attitude era. With a focus on the best booked wrestlers currently in WWE as well as some of the decisions from NXT to the main roster that continue to baffle and bemuse. https://www.4everinelectricdreams.com/

The Top Marks Crew are back for another podcast this time on how to finish each other sentences, no wait, on which finishers are best, ok that still sounds wrong. Imran, Rich, TeeJ and Dan discuss the best wrestling finishers, then, now and forever.... (oh man).

The bad guys are way cooler right? Well most of the time, although the fans no longer want to be told who to hate. But we decided to try and turn back the clock to when heels really were heels. Join Sean, Rich, TeeJ and Dan as they call out their best heels and throw in a bit of 2008 fantasy booking at the end (terrible idea).

Imran, Tee J and Dan C are back, this time looking at various call ups from NXT to Smackdown and RAW, judging how well or badly those wrestlers have done. Is NXT a career killer sending some to the not so cosmic wasteland? Or does Triple H set his minions up to be main event headliners. We pick through the best and absolute worst call ups from NXT's history so far.

We chatted by phone to UK Horror Film director and writer - Rich Rowntree about his experiences making the critically acclaimed folk horror movie Dogged**, from writing, filming, casting, on set revelations and some of the secrets behind his new project - twisted home invasion movie Nefarious (which you can back on Kickstarter here until May 18th 2018): https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1718939790/nefarious-a-home-invasion-horror-thriller-feature **https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5579356/

The Top Marks gang are back for Yuletide nonsense as they ask Father Vincemas for a special WWE Christmas wish for 2018. But will TeeJ, Imran, Dan and Roth's wishes be granted or are they just a bunch of cynical old grinches who don't deserve to rummage around in Vince's sack? Will TeeJ's cat kill and eat Imran before the podcast is done? Find out all this and much less.

Stick two men in a room with a microphone and they'll podcast about failed characters and gimmicks, or storylines that never quite happened or stopped short. Join Imran and Dan for the latest Top Marks wrestling podcast, a format probably as short lived as the subject they are ranting about.

Richard, Imran, Sean and Dan return for another episode of Top Marks, this time they mistakenly decided they can do a better job than WWE creative and each come up with their own wrestlers, complete with story lines, finishers, feuds and theme music. Plus random 80s and 90s pop culture diversions including the revelation that Roth likes girl bands and Imran prefers She-Ra to He-Man.

TeeJ takes the reigns as we talk about just how many PPVs are too many for WWE to be putting out there? How many feuds can you build in a just few weeks and then throw away? Should all belts be defended? Is the product suffering or are network subscribers getting more bang for their buck? Starring Sean Sunderland, TeeJ Sutherland and Dan Wonderland (well Collacott, but felt he should have 'land' in his surname also)

The Top Marks crew decided to pick their top wrestlers from the past, with plenty of fantasy bookings, mount rushmore antics and controversial action! Starring TeeJ Sutherland, Imran Mirza, Richard Roth, Dan Collacott and guest starring Richard's very long socks.

The Top Marks team ponder the current state of play for WWE for 2017 and a look ahead at bookings for Wrestlemania 33, low blows and more. With Imran Mirza, Will Vieiri, TeeJ Sutherland and Dan Collacott.

It's the evening after the 2016 Survivor Series and the Top Marks Team are debating the possible 'Death of the Heel and Demise of the Face.' Shooting the breeze about everyone on the WWE roster past and present, the most memorable heel or face turns both good and down right diabolical! Featuring Tee J, Sean Sunderland, Richard Roth, Imran Mirza and Dan Collacott.

Pilot Episode of the Wrestling Podcast 'Top Marks' with Will Vieri, Imran Mirza, Sean Sunderland and Dan Collacott. This episode looks at the most common questions wrestling fans ask themselves and each other. Making them proper WWE fan boys! Plus more botches than a House Show Battle Royal.
