Welcome to Grouchy Old Geeks, a monthly podcast that discusses everything and anything in geek news, from the Statler and Waldorf of British podcasts hosts. Previously GoG was called Comic Book Outsiders, and we've been podcasting for 9 years. We decided a rebrand and refresh was in order to reflect how the show has changed over the years.This episode Steve and Scott start off with some TV, film and comic book news, then we revisit a favourite section, called Challenge Scott, but with a twist. For our main feature we discuss the Image comic, Saga, by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples. If you would like to get in touch with the show you can email us at grouchyoldgeeks@gmail.com, you can find our Facebook at www.grouchyoldgeeks.com or you can follow us on Twitter @SteveAryan and @ScottGrandison

Scott and Steve start the show with a huge announcement about the show.  New name, new network, but the same Grumpy Old Geeks. After some more news they discuss 'Tales from the Badlands' the amazing cross-genre show from Amazon.

This is Bags of Action. The podcast is devoted to action movies, both old and new, but all of them awesome! In this episode Steve and Pete talk about The Mechanic from 2011 starring Jason Statham. As it turns out, neither of us knew, this film was a remake. This film turned out to be not what either host was expecting. Both are fans of Statham and yet somehow this was their first time they'd done a film with him in the lead. Pete shares some knowledge on the background of the film, its heritage, and its connection to Cannon films.

This is Bags of Action. The podcast is devoted to action movies, both old and new, but all of them awesome! In this episode Steve and Pete visit the cinema, at different times and in different cities, to see the film Creed. It was released in 2015 in the USA and early 2016 in the UK. This is the latest film in the Rocky franchise, that seemed to have concluded with Rocky Balboa, but a young filmmaker called Ryan Coogler pitched and idea and it was eventually developed into this film. Both Steve and Pete are big fans of the Rocky franchise and both were very happy with its apparent conclusion with Rocky Balboa. So will Creed be able to live up to the legacy? Will it be a complete reboot or does it pay respect to what has come before it?

We also discuss board games and our recent experiences with games including Cash and Guns and the amazing BattleStar Galactica BSG board game, based on the new TV show from a few years ago. For our main we get back to our roots and talk about some comics that we've recently been enjoying and somehow Steve ends up introducing Scott to a TV show that he's never heard of before but is rendered speechless by the trailer.

Welcome to Comic Book Outsiders, a comic book podcast dedicated to bringing you the very best hidden gems from the worlds of comic books, films, TV and everything else. This is our last episode of 2015, so it ended up being a general news episode where we talked about some of the great things due in 2016 as well as recent comic book related TV. We also both highlight one of our favourite things from this year and talk about the new age of geekdom and whether the comic book movie bubble is going to burst.

This is Bags of Action. The podcast is devoted to action movies, both old and new, but all of them awesome! In this episode, Pete chooses one of old favourites, a film he has seen dozens of times, Bloodsport from 1988 starring JCVD. But will it stand up to the test of time? And what will Steve think, having not seen it in many, many years? This episode was supposed to be Creed but unfortunately it doesn't come out in the UK until January, so we hope to do it for our Jan or Feb episode.

This is Bags of Action. The podcast is devoted to action movies, both old and new, but all of them awesome! In this episode, Steve is back and is joined by his co-host from Comic Book Outsiders, Scott! This is another science experiment episode as Scott has never seen the film we're discussing this episode, the 1976 classic, Rocky. Scott ha s seen other Rocky films in the franchise, including Rocky Balboa, but never the original. The screenplay for Rocky, written by Stallone, went on to win three Oscars and it spawned multiple sequels of different quality, which seemingly wrapped up the franchise with Rocky Balboa in 2006. Or so we thought, until this year in November, there is a potential sequel or spin-off, called Creed. We discuss Scott's impressions of Rocky and how he thought the franchise would develop, as well as the other films plus out thoughts on Creed. Most of the episode though is focused on the original Rocky.

This is Bags of Action. The podcast is devoted to action movies, both old and new, but all of them awesome! In this episode, Scott Grandison (Comic Book Outsiders, Crash Landing) is standing in for Steve to talk about the James Cameron classic, Aliens. Shockingly Pete has never seen it before, so you get to find out what he thought of it first time around and compare that to Scott's opinion of a film he knows inside and out. Next month Steve returns to the hot seat and he'll also be experiencing a film that most people would assume he's already seen. Listen to the end of the show to find out what that is.

Welcome to Comic Book Outsiders, a comic book podcast dedicated to bringing you the very best hidden gems from the worlds of comic books, films, TV and everything else. This episode is our 175th, so we decided to do something a bit different. Normally we plan the episode in advance, make notes and have different sections planned out. This episode we did nothing. We did no planning, we made no notes at all. We also invited onto the show a special co-host, Barry Nugent, from Geek Syndicate. We let the conversation flow where it wants and it turned out to be an interesting three way discussion about a whole host of different topics.

This is Bags of Action. The podcast is devoted to action movies, both old and new, but all of them awesome! In this episode, Gavin Jones (Sidekickcast) is standing in for Steve for a fan film special.  Pete and Gav discuss Predator: Dark Ages and Kung Fury, two recently crowd funded films that are now available on youtube. Each film is about thirty minutes long and the guys decided to rewatch them as they recorded the show together and in person, which gives the episode a somewhat unusual feel. How do these shorter, labour of loves compare to bigger full length films?  Listen out for a shock revelation from Pete about a film he's never seen, he'll be rectifying that next month for the good of the show!  If you would like to get in touch you can join in the discussion of all things related to action movies over on the Facebook Group or you can follow Bags of Action on Twitter @BagsofAction.

This is Bags of Action. The podcast is devoted to action movies, both old and new, but all of them awesome! In this episode, we discuss the 2010 film Salt, starring Angelina Jolie. This is the second time both Steve and Pete have watched the film but they've both forgotten various bits so there are surprises along the way for them. The film also stars Liev Shreiber, Chiwetel Ejiofor and even a brief appearance by the awesome Andre Braugher. For the next couple of episodes there's going to be a bit of a change to the show, but you will have to listen for the details, but we will be continuing on our regular monthly schedule.
