Fate, Luck & Karma: Geek Culture with a Side of Strange

S03E01: Netflix Ghostbusters Delay, Pokémon Lego, Stranger Things Finale and More

The West Midlands Ghostbusters Season 3 Episode 1

In the first of a new wider-ranging Fate, Luck & Karma, join Dean, Theo and Jay as they explore Ghostbusters news... and a whole lot more.

We'll talk about why we made the decision to cover not just Ghostbusters, but also stories from the wider geeky and paranormal worlds (and don't worry, we'll of course still cover Ghostbuster news as it arises, but as we say in the intro, there's a big geeky world out there, and we want to explore it with you!). 

So, listen in to learn more about the eye-wateringly expensive Pokémon Lego range - which, as a little sidenote, sold out the Gift With Purchase extras while we were recording this episode - hear about how the Netflix Ghostbusters animated series is nowhere to be seen in 2026, how vampire movie Sinners flew the flag for horror at the Golden Globes, how the team behind Weapons are heading up a new Mummy movie, plus hear how we felt after the climactic finale of Stranger Things.

All of this, plus our reactions to the first four teasers for Avengers: Doomsday!

It's a New Year, it's a new season, and it's a whole new world the geeky and the strange to explore. Let's get started, shall we...?
