Well, we took a short break. Just 10 months. Barely a nap. We got the band back together for an enormously fun 2025 review extravaganza. Hazel Chandler, Peter Johnson, Dan, Andy and Jon each reveal their top 3 favourite things of the year, from movies to TV shows to books to music to games and even a bit of theatre (darling).

Andy also came up with a 12 Days of Christmas quiz. We know Christmas has been and gone, but this quiz is part trivia/ part recommendations on what to watch over the Christmas break while enjoying round 4 of pigs in blankets.

We missed you! We missed doing this. We hope you enjoy the show :)

It’s Nerdfest Oscars sweepstake time! Now in its sixth year, Hazel Chandlerhas outdone herself to make the 2025 version even more ridiculously complex. The sweepstake now includes 5 hats, a trivia section, jokers, and a regrettable round of roulette. Before that Jon Farthing Andy, Dan and Peter Johnsonoffer quickfire recommendations of the movies and TV shows we’ve been enjoying recently. And an in-depth review of 'Captain America: A Brave New World' (or is it?) Beware of mild spoilers if you haven’t seen it yet.

What do you get when four nerds review the sequel to a controversial film about a Batman villain? You get what you **** deserve! (Sorry, we went a bit Joker there.)

Jon, Peter, Ian Mac and Dan brave the grim prison underworld of Todd Phillips’ ‘Joker: Folie a Deux’. Track Ella Purnell's killing spree in ‘Sweetpea’. Sample Norwegian kid superhero movie ‘The Innocents’ and for a bit of variety we have two musical documentaries: ‘Music by John Williams’ and Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Road Diary’.

Its criminally good! pod.link/1322410403

On today’s show we have a group discussion about how we’re finding 'Agatha Alrighty Then' (or 'Agatha All Along', if you’re into accuracy). We then catch up on all the movies and TV we’ve been enjoying over the last month, including 'The Substance', 'The Penguin', 'A Different Man', 'Will and Harper', and 'My Old Ass' (which is a film, not a review of our anatomy, thank you very much)

We’re back from our summer break and there’s lots to catch up on with a faceful of recommendations, including 'Alien: Romulus', 'Bad Monkey', 'Thelma', and 'It Ends with Us'. We also cover 'Deadpool and Wolverine', the second series of 'Rings of Power', and new Netflix series 'Kaos'. It’s a fairly expletive-ridden show as the nerds show their disgruntlement with everything from TicketMaster to people needing the toilet at the cinema, so bear in that in mind if the kids are around!

A very special LIVE edition of the Nerdfest podcast, recorded during local improv comedy group Spontaneous Wrecks' 10th anniversary gig.

To celebrate, we did our Buff or Bluff quiz on the 10th film in various franchises, silent movies with giant monsters, and actors who lent their voices to videogames.

We also had great big Nerd Quiz bonanza, where two of the audience joined our nerds to fight for the title of True Nerd. And a Nerd Debate on the Best Action Movie Of All Time- will you agree with us? pod.link/1322410403
