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.

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.

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.

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'. 
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 
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'..

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. This episode of the Minicast also teases wider conversations about the emergence of AI within the content we consume which is also something we hope to revisit here 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 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?" |
