    Joined by Clover from our sibling cast "Scrolls", the dithering duo turn their gaze on the gender, sex and relationships in that double-headed genre hydra that is Fantasy and Fairy Tales. Along the dark paths far from those we know, we encounter:

    • Disney Princesses
    • Kehaars's younger, death-metal listening self
    • Are Soap Operas todays fairy tales?
    • Strong Characters vs Strong Characterisation
    • Game of Thrones, The Silmarrilion and Tolkien's Ladies, and women in Fantasy Cover Art
    • Same-sex relationships in fantasy and history.
    • Jarvis Cocker's attitude to pornography
    • And because it's been a  while....Roman attitudes to sex.

    Wikipedia's article on the Monomyth is far more erudite than Matt and can be found here; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monomyth
    More of Clover can be heard on Scrolls, here http://geeksyndicate.wordpress.com/category/gs-podcast-network/scrolls/

    Sean Connery in a orange nappy in a future with only 2 bits of soft porn.
    The role of homosexuality, the ancient greeks and Battlestar Galactica.
    Does the ending of watchmen make any sense ?
    Is Children of Men the perfect companion piece to Bend it like Beckham.
    Dystopia prositution in the Handmaids Tale, Go-Go Girls of the apocalypse (http://www.amazon.com/Go-Go-Girls-Apocalypse-Victor-Gischler/dp/1416552251) and others.
    The bonky-bonky futures of Logan's Run and Brave New World compared with the control of 1984 or Farenheit 451.
    James Cameron's perfect woman.
    Why do the survival situations of jericho and Survivors feature such traditional female roles in contrast to some versions of Day of the Triffids.
    Soylent Green, I am Legend, Mad Max and Hunger Games (http://www.thehungergames.co.uk/) also get a look in alongside Duke Nuke'emism and the 'Two Ronnies 'classic' "The Worm that Turned" (readily available on youtube.)

    Barry Nugent (Shadowy Godfather of the Geek Syndicate and author of Fallen Heroes, self published through Lulu's print-on-demand service)
