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!'.

Supple & Lean | A Geekcast 12: 'The 90s Reality Ruse: Where Memory Ends and Simulation Begins'
Welcome to Episode #12 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 descend into the shadowy realms of 'Dark City' and 'The Thirteenth Floor' — two cult gems of late-90s sci-fi that challenge our perception of reality itself. From simulated worlds to manipulated memories, we explore how these films construct elaborate deceptions around identity, freedom and the fragile boundaries between the real and the artificial. Join us as we unravel the layers of illusion and ask: if everything we know can be faked… what makes us real?
The show today features original music from Supple & Lean featuring The Strangeress with 'NPC Blues'.
