In this episode, Tejas and Jishnu discuss the relatively low-key release of Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children. With a star-studded cast and interesting source material, we expected a return to form for Tim Burton, which he only kinda half delivers.

Jishnu and Dinkar thought that there weren't too many movies of interest left to release in 2016. They could not have been more wrong. This week they go through nearly 20 movie trailers slated for release between October and January, 2017. The big question: is there any room left for stand alone science fiction/fantasy or have the franchise fat cats filled all the theaters.

This week Jishnu, Tejas and Dinkar talk of all things comedic in the realm of science fiction. Are all sci-fi comedies self aware parodies of the genre? Or are there films that are funny stories that just happen to be set in space or a world of fantasy?

On this episode, Jishnu and Dinkar discuss deleted scenes, bonus features and director's cuts of movies. With alternate cuts and 'ultimate' editions becoming increasingly common in the superhero and sci-fi world, how do we settle on the definitive version of a film? And do these versions ever change our opinions of the original?

On this episode, Tejas, Dinkar and special guest Siddhant Mehta discuss a big question for any spidey fan: Whatever happened to the web head? From being the coolest superhero to being rebooted twice, is Peter Parker relevant anymore in a world full of Rocket Racoons and Deadpools?

Jishnu and Tejas take a break from doing a movie of the week review to talk about the greatest women in science fiction.

Jishnu and Tejas finally have the chance to review a brand new show which is not a reboot, sequel, prequel or from a shared universe; but in many ways still feels like one. They discuss what they loved and didn't love about Season 1 of Netflix's new sci-fi horror show 'Stranger Things'. They also discuss the first episode of Batman The Telltale Series.

In the hotly anticipated third installment of the DCEU, David Ayer (Training Day, Fury) directs the story a motley crew of supervillains contracted by the government to undertake a near impossible mission, in exchange for early parole. Does the movie live up to its comic boom counter part? Probably not even close, but their are reasons for it that Jishnu and Tejas break down. Happy listening y'nerds!

Tejas, Jishnu and Dinkar deconstruct the myth and controversy behind the 1988 Eisner award-winning graphic novel The Killing Joke by Alan Moore and Brian Bolland. They also try to make sense of its animated counterpart and its now equally controversial Batgirl-centric prologue.

The 13th overall Star Trek Movie has an interesting creative team in Simon Pegg and Justin Lin (Fast & Furious series) behind it. Tejas, Dinkar and Jishnu break down why this very successfully captures the essence of the Star Trek philosophy and makes for a worthy addition to the franchise.

In this episode, Jishnu and Tejas review two movies which have absolutely no reason to be clubbed together! Nevertheless they discuss how even Bill Pullman cannot save the travesty that is Independence Day: Resurgence, and how Finding Dory may not be Pixar's finest, but consistently delivers on bringing us to man tears.

Video Game movie adaptations have never had much luck at the cinema. Is it truly something that cannot be properly adapted? Adding to the evidence is this year's Angry Birds and Warcraft: two game based movies that have uncannily similar storylines. Tejas and Jishnu also discuss this year's E3 games expo and the future of gaming through VR. Pray for Assassin's Creed everyone!

As millennials growing up in the '90s, a mainstay of our cartoon programming included one seemingly bizarre concept of four anthropomorphic turtles trained by rat sensei. How did this concept turn into one of the largest franchises ever? In this episode, the nerds discuss all the iterations of the Ninja Turtles and it's most recent avatar, TMNT: Out of the Shadows.

On this episode, Jishnu, Dinkar and Tejas are talking about the Scarlet Speedster of the CW (and Colours Infinity) variety. If you are mega fans of this iteration, then you know that season 2 was about as explosive as the first. With Zoom as a major antagonist to torment Barry throughout the season, we got a bunch of hits and misses that are all completely worth spending an hour talking about.

On this episode, the nerds focus not on the characters or the stories, but the very vessels that carry them for the process of distribution. But in particular, the internet as a form of distribution. While you may think this is all business models and boring commercial jargon, but a lot of these very models have brought some of the nerdiest stories such as Jessica Jones, Daredevil, and Sense8 to life. So tune in as Tejas and Jishnu discuss the on-demand model networks that have made their way into India recently, specifically Voot from Viacom, Netflix India, and Star's Hotstar.   The Geek Fruit podcast is also available on iTunes: https://goo.gl/jVHe5l You can find us on Audioboom: https://goo.gl/QeE1WE Or generally, just about any app you use to get your podcasts; Stitcher, Overcast, Beyond Pod, PodYatra (that is not real, but don't you wish it was?)
