Vahé:LeisureCAST (2008-2015)

With this episode initially starting out as a follow-up to Imran and Vahe's Close Encounters Minicast episode of IDW Publishing's 'The Last Ronin' graphic novel (episode #6), this conversation inadvertently - but excitingly - spun out into a new podcast series for 4ever in Electric Dreams marking the inaugural episode of Supple & Lean | A Geekcast.

Imran Mirza from London, UK, connects with Vahé Vishapakagh Koshayan from Melbourne, Australia, to delve into a series of conversations continuing their unwavering fandom for all things TMNT, Marvel, music and undoubtedly more!  As mentioned however, this episode delves into the compelling story of Ninja Turtles foil, Shredder, now navigating his sins and life choices while enduring the mental and physical torment of hell but finding himself aided by an unlikely ally.

With a bucket load of TMNT-based discussion which unpacks the original 1980's Turtle lore and compares it to IDW's reimagined take on events, we also discuss the three feature films and other on-screen Turtle iterations. 

ALSO, with massive excitement, check the episode out to hear the frickin sensational theme song for the podcast as performed and produced by Vahé, 'Supple & Lean - Geekin' (Theme To S.L.A.G.)'.

Welcome to Episode #5 of the 4ever in Electric Dreams & CONFESSIONS OF A CURLY MIND co-production - Supple & Lean | A Geekcast.

Imran Mirza from London, UK, connects with Vahé Vishapakagh Koshayan from Melbourne, Australia, to continue their trio of podcast discussions revolving around the Bad Lip Reading project, 'Axe Assassin Albertson'.

And in the epic finale of our Bad Lip Reading/Axe Assassin trilogy, we take a final look into some of the finer plot points of the over-arching narrative and offer up our final thoughts on this inspired project.  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.  Does art without the human touch still inspire you?  Is there a line between marvelling at technological advancements and fearing a constructed future tailored meticulously to everything we as individuals like?

TALES FROM THE VOID

The Dark Southern Presents...Tales From The Void - Episode 01: The Infinitum

Welcome to Episode #6 of the 4ever in Electric Dreams & CONFESSIONS OF A CURLY MIND co-production - Supple & Lean | A Geekcast.

Following their three-episode mini series delving into the Bad Lip Reading project, 'Axe Assassin Albertson', Imran Mirza from London, UK, and Vahé Vishapakagh Koshayan from Melbourne, Australia, kick-start the first of their next trio of episodes this time revisiting films and shows that made up the MCU's Phases 4 and 5.

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'.

As if this bumper-sized episode wasn't enough, Vahé continues the show's rich lineage of providing new and original songs - specific to each episode.  So for this go-round, we're proud to unveil: 'Unguarded', 'Can't, Man' and 'The Incomprehensible Skulk'.

Welcome to Episode #7 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 continue their revisiting of projects comprising Phases 4 and 5 all in a bid to rekindle Vahé's now floundering affections for the product.

With Part 1 of our MCU series including talk about Guardians of the Galaxy 3, Ant-Man's Quantumania and She-Hulk, this episode features a few catch-up points about those projects plus includes conversation about Marvel's The Eternals.

Aside from the MCU, there is also talk that revisits themes from our 'Axe Assassin Albertson' trilogy of shows featuring a foray into AI-generated music.  It's a fascinating conversation with a few very cool surprises included.  And as if this bumper-sized episode wasn't enough, Vahé continues the show's rich lineage of providing new and original songs - specific to each episode. So for this go-round, we're proud to unveil the R&B-tinged gem, 'Eternally Yours'.
