Welcome to Episode #13 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, for this episode we dive into two cult classics: Jim Jarmusch’s Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999) and Keanu Reeves’ directorial debut Man of Tai Chi (2013). Ghost Dog blends hip-hop, samurai philosophy and mafia codes in a meditative hitman tale starring Forest Whitaker while Man of Tai Chi brings Keanu to the director's chair — and into the villain role — in a slick martial arts flick about fighting, morality and spiritual discipline in modern-day China.
We unpack the East-meets-West aesthetics, the existential questions and discuss why both films punch way above their weight in the action genre.
The show today features original music from Supple & Lean featuring Balogneous Monk with 'Run N' Cut Ya!'.

90s State of Mind #21 ::: BONUS EPISODE ::: More Kendrick vs. Drake (Grammys, Superbowl & … Emmys?)
Welcome to Episode #21 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 a follow-up to episode #19 of our podcast series which delved into the monumental rivalry of hip-hop heavyweights Drake and Kendrick Lamar, Rhonda and Imran reconnect to discuss the events of early 2025 which saw Kendrick collect FIVE Grammy awards for 'Not Like Us' and then - a mere week later - perform what has since been dubbed the most watched Superbowl Halftime performance ever. A celebrated performance which saw Kendrick litter his thirteen minutes with subtle, and not so subtle, Drake attacks throughout, we ask is there more to come from this rivalry, and examine what Drake would do next.
