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

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 whe

Welcome to Episode #8 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. Rounding out our trilogy of MCU-based chat are more in-depth conversations about Black Widow and Shang-Chi, both released in 2021. We're also very excited about the show's original music in support of the conversation so please listen out for two new Supple & Lean originals - 'The Red Room' featuring The Janky Hoes and 'Dead Ringer' featuring Hawkesbury James. 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.

How much Wu Tang is too much? Does rapping in your house mean you were a 90s rapper even if you were 4 years old at the time, who are Hijack? Is Ice Cube typecast in movies, do cats always attack during podcasts? Who is Organ Freewill? Join TeeJ, Dan and Imran on another episode of the A-Z of hip hop along with deranged metallic rap fan, Optimus Grime!

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, 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'. www.4e

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 d

Finally we've made it to the letters E-F which marks episode three of our strange Hip Hop 90s nostalgia journey. So listen to those crazy cats, TeeJ, Imran and Dan as they once again pick the best hip hop groups and artists active from 1990 - till the very end of 1999. Like a sexier episode of Sesame Street with a slightly insane robot rather than the Count.

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

Welcome to Episode #68 of the Close Encounters of the Nerd Kind podcast which sees Tee-J Sutherland, Dan Collacott and Imran Mirza finally delve into our long-talked about fantasy booking of the perhaps-never-going-to-happen PPV, AEW vs WWE. An incredibly fun episode that should both excite and infuriate wrestling purists as the CENK trio outline an exclusive WrestleMania-esque two-night event allotting for eight matches per night, three pre-show matches, including selecting the venue as well as our respective announce teams. Feel free to let us know which of the team put on the best show and how you would best use mega stars like CM Punk, Seth Rollins, Kenny Omega, MJF, etc. 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.

This episode of the Close Encounters... Minicast sees the team host an in-depth conversation about the making of 'Old Boys Club' - the first from the 4ever in Electric Dreams-The Monsters Within Us horror anthology. Imran Mirza, Denis-Jose Francois and 'Old Boys Club' creator Dan Collacott have a sit-down to discuss the show, how and why it came to be, along with the challenges of creating a horror-based narrative that relies solely on what a person hears. If you have never heard 'Old Boys Club' in its entirity - don't worry, we don't spoil anything - but we'd love for you to check the episode out here for your listening pleasure: https://www.4everinelectricdreams.com/home/the-monsters-within-us-episode-one-old-boys-club We're very proud of 'Old Boys Club' and have some wonderful things planned for The Monsters Within Us going forward which you'll hopefully be hearing about very soon.

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 behavio

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? Once again, you can catch up on the BLR videos and accompanying album via the following links:

We discuss the full match card, engage in lots of supplementary AEW conversations and there's a fair amount of CM Punk chat too. (Further to this, our next episode will feature an in-depth assessment of CM Punk's legacy in AEW and pro wrestling in general - so look out for that no-doubt lengthy episode in early-October.) On a personal note, Close Encounters of the Nerd Kind was the flagship show for the 4ever in Electric Dreams podcast network and while that network has started to grow with the 90s State of Mind podcast, Supple & Lean, th
