Sometimes when a long running show wants to mix things up or advance the story quickly they throw a random time jump into the mix, in the blink of an eye or the roll of a credit ten years could have passed by!
Well, we decided it was our turn to insert a time jump, So this episode starts mid april and concludes late May... This was totally planned and had nothing to do with Tobias's questionable wifi or Liam moving house!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This season we are bringing you three segments on top of the weekly theme!

CHARACTER SHOWDOWN
The first is a brand new segment that we like to call "Character Showdown". The boys each randomly select a contender followed by a random activity (such as, who would win in a thumb war or Who would win in a staring contest" they then have to fight for their contender to be that weeks victor!

CASTING COUCH
A returning segment, Casting Couch is a running segment where the boys attempt top reboot a well loved franchise. This season the boys will be casting the adult characters if the Harry Potter series. This includes faculty, family, allies & villains! 

THIS WEEK IN GEEK
A new segment where the boys take a look at the latest entertainment news as well as discussing all the latest things they've watched, played and enjoyed!

Ep.6: The Geek Alphabet!

This week Liam & Tobias had planned on recording an unscripted episode just to see what would happen. They decided to both prepare a few rounds of "2 truths, 1 lie" and a quiz each to fall back on... but sometimes things don't go to plan!

It turns out Liam doesn't fully understand what a quiz actually is and there may have been some confusion over how you go about preparing a round of  "2 truths, 1 lie".

This may turn out to be the most scripted & stressful unscripted episode  ever seen by mankind!

They also cover the latest seasons of Doctor Who & The Walking Dead.

As well as our podcast we now also have  The ManNic Blog where we discuss & review the latest film releases, tv shows & trailers. If you could take a minute to peruse our latest posts that would be awesome!

Ep.11: Geek Showdown MCU v DCEU

this lyrics to this song were originally written by Mr Mark Marshall back in 1997 along with many other amazing lyrics and melodies which unfortunately we never done anything with despite Marks constant efforts.

lyrics written by Mark Marshall (added verse for 2006 and musical arrangement edit written by Keith Blackwell)
Music by Keith Blackwell & Mark Marshall

In 2006 I recorded the track in a professional studio to be used in an amateur theatre production.
the music was re-recorded based on the original 1997 tape recording.

although by todays standards, the track is very outdated in bose verse and style, I feel the message it stands for is stronger today than it was 22 years ago.

it has a classic retro 80's style melody to it but it is what it is and i'm only sharing it for what it is, not what or where it could go.

Tell me (Why?) 2006

The ManNic podcast is a passionate look at the world through geek tinted glasses. 

Join Liam & Tobias as they discuss a whole array of topics including the latest film & tv releases as well asking the hard hitting questions your inner geek has always wanted to know like “Who’d win in a fight to the death between Luke Skywalker & Spock”  & “When Superman hits the gym how much can he bench press?”
