After discussing the legend that is Stan Lee, and at the half way point in the series, the Geeks turned their attention to the new series of Doctor Who - a new (female!) Doctor, new Companions, a new showrunner - and considered how it was going. As this edition drops, it's the day of the series finale. What did the gang make of the first half? Listen and find out! Check out the full shownotes at www.destinationvenus.co.uk/blog
After a long hiatus the geeks gather once more to remember and celebrate the life, work and genius of Stan Lee.

Finally, the geeks are back together, in a swanky new venue, and ready to talk about Infinity War. Except Jack had a date and had to leave before the end...
