Nerds Against Normality
Our Films & Games of the Year (Plus Some Truly Awful Opinions)
🎙️ Nerds Against Normality – End of Year Review One last look back before we pretend we’re organised next year. We’re closing out the year the only way we know how: arguing, reflecting, misremembering films, and bullying Ben. In this special end-of-year review episode, the Nerds take a chaotic walk down memory lane, revisiting the films, games, and moments that defined our year on the podcast — from surprise hits and stone-cold classics to absolute disasters we’d quite happily never mention again (looking at you, Wild Wild West). We break down: The best and worst films we reviewed this year Which movies we’d retroactively approve or bin off Our favourite episodes and guest appearances The running jokes that refused to die (Nosferatu, we’re sorry… sort of) Our Games of the Year, including indie surprises and big-name disappointments Bold (possibly stupid) predictions for next year’s films, TV, and games And a time capsule of hot takes we’ll absolutely be judged on in 12 months It’s honest, loud, occasionally insightful, and very much not dignified — but it is a love letter to another year of nerdy nonsense, brilliant listeners, and far too many hours spent watching things “for the pod”. If you’re new here, this is the perfect episode to jump in. If you’ve been with us all year — thank you. Seriously. 💙 🎧 New episodes every Wednesday 🛒 Merch available now 📲 Follow us for clips, polls, and questionable opinions Long live the nerds. #NerdsAgainstNormality #PodcastLife #FilmPodcast #MovieReviewPodcast #GamingPodcast #PopCulturePodcast #EndOfYearReview #BestAndWorst #FilmDebate #HotTakes #NerdCulture #GeekPodcast #IndieGames #FilmFans #GamingCommunity #PodcastRecommendations #UKPodcast #SpotifyPodcast #PodcastDiscovery #LongLiveTheNerds

Bad Santa Is WAY Worse Than We Remember Ep66
Merry Christmas, you filthy animals 🎄 This week on Nerds Against Normality, we go full festive chaos with a Christmas Eve special that starts wholesome… and immediately derails. First up: Stacey hosts a rapid-fire Christmas quiz packed with Elf, Home Alone, Die Hard, Love Actually, The Office, Friends, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine — with impressions, arguments, and absolutely no respect for the time budget. Then it’s review time: Bad Santa (2003) — the infamous anti-Christmas comedy starring Billy Bob Thornton, Tony Cox, Lauren Graham, and Bernie Mac. We dig into whether Bad Santa is actually funny in 2025, how the shock humour has aged, why the “redemption arc” doesn’t land, and whether it deserves a place in your yearly Christmas movie marathon… or a permanent ban from your festive rotation. Expect: hot takes, nostalgic reality checks, brutal honesty, and the most cursed question of the episode: “How many people are weirdly horny for Santa?” Plus, we spiral into bizarre global festive folklore — from Krampus to Iceland’s Yule Lads, the Yule Goat, Sinterklaas, La Befana, and the legendary Christmas Pickle tradition. If you like movie reviews, Christmas films, dark comedies, and chaotic friend banter with pop-culture tangents, this one’s for you. New episodes every Wednesday.   #NerdsAgainstNormality #BadSanta #BadSanta2003 #ChristmasMovies #ChristmasPodcast #MovieReviewPodcast #FilmPodcast #ComedyMovies #DarkComedy #BillyBobThornton #BernieMac #ChristmasSpecial #DieHard #HomeAlone #ElfMovie #LoveActually #PodcastUK #PopCulturePodcast #HolidayPodcast #ChristmasTraditions

Is Netflix’s “Champagne Problems” the Ultimate Christmas Comfort Film? Ep65
This week on Nerds Against Normality, we’re popping the cork on Netflix’s Champagne Problems — the festive French rom-com that’s basically a Hallmark movie with better lighting and worse decision-making.   Join Harry, Stacey, and Ben as we wade through Christmas in France, bookshop meet-cutes, vineyard drama, and enough clichés to fill a château… while somehow detouring into Stranger Things Season 5, Welcome to Derry, and Harry’s full-on meltdown after being forced to play The Sims 3 (yes, the fridge caught fire).   Plus: our brand-new game “Cliché or Cabernet” goes exactly as responsibly as you’d expect — and then Audacity decides to rage quit mid-episode, so we limp over the finish line with verdict voice notes and festive chaos.   🎧 New episodes every Wednesday. 📩 Requests: nanpodcast.outlook.com 🛒 Merch: nanpodcast.teemill.com   #NerdsAgainstNormality #Podcast #PodcastEpisode #FilmPodcast #MovieReview #Netflix #NetflixMovie #ChristmasMovie #RomCom #RomComMovie #HolidayMovies #HallmarkVibes #PopCulturePodcast #ComedyPodcast #StrangerThings #WelcomeToDerry #StephenKing #GamingPodcast #TheSims3 #UKPodcast

Stacey vs The Machine: Game Awards 2025 Predictions With A Brutal Forfeit
🎮 BONUS EPISODE: Stacey vs Ben – Game Awards 2025 Predictions 🎮   It’s bonus episode time on Nerds Against Normality, and we’ve turned the 2025 Game Awards into a full-blown rivalry.   Stacey and Ben locked in their Game Awards predictions weeks in advance — no changes, no do-overs… and probably no AI assistance (although that remains up for debate 🤖). With the winners now revealed, it’s time to find out who actually knows their games — and who’s about to face a forfeit.   Before settling the score, we break down the biggest talking points from the night. Which trailers lived up to the hype, which reveals genuinely surprised us, and which long-rumoured games still didn’t show up. We also talk about the projects we were hoping to see, and what’s got us most excited going forward.   Will Expedition 33 clean up this year? Did Silksong have a real shot at the spotlight? Did Nintendo walk away with any major wins? Why did Hideo Kojima walk out in a huff?   Expect Game Awards reactions, trailer breakdowns, bold predictions, friendly trash talk, and the looming threat of punishment. Press play and decide for yourself… was it Stacey vs Ben — or Stacey vs The Machine?   #NerdsAgainstNormality #GameAwards2025 #BonusEpisode #GamingPodcast #VideoGameAwards #GameAwardsPredictions #PodcastRivalry #GamingCommunity #GameTrailers #NextGenGaming #GamersOfSpotify #PlayStation #Xbox #Nintendo #GameAwardsRecap #GeekCulture #PodcastLife #ForfeitTime #FriendlyCompetition #GamingNews

Del Toro’s Frankenstein Review — A Real Monsterpiece Ep63
This week on Nerds Against Normality, we dive deep into Guillermo del Toro’s brand-new Frankenstein adaptation — a gothic, emotional, monster-masterpiece with a stacked cast featuring Oscar Isaac, Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, David Bradley and more.   Before we unleash the monster review, we kick things off with a proper catch-up:   Stacey has just finished Season 3 of Alice in Borderland and gives her verdict.   Harry finally wrapped Season 4 of Attack on Titan and shares the emotional damage.   Ben watched an early-90s documentary that somehow derails the entire conversation in classic Ben fashion.     Then we jump into the main event: breaking down del Toro’s directing style, his obsession with tragic monsters, how this version compares to earlier Frankenstein adaptations, and why this might be the most personal story he’s ever brought to life.   If you love movies, monster lore, del Toro’s weird brilliance, or just enjoy hearing us roast each other, this episode truly comes alive.   #Frankenstein #GuillermoDelToro #DelToro #OscarIsaac #MiaGoth #AndrewGarfield #MoviePodcast #FilmReview #NerdsAgainstNormality #HorrorMovies #NewMovies2025 #PodcastLife #CinemaLovers #MovieDiscussion #FilmCommunity #GeekCulture #PopCulturePodcast #MovieFans #HorrorCommunity #PodcastRecommendations

All Dolled Up And Nowhere to Go! The Boy Movie Review Ep59
It’s spooky season, and the Nerds Against Normality crew are diving headfirst into another horror review — this time tackling The Boy (2016), starring The Walking Dead’s Lauren Cohan. Leaving Maggie behind, Cohan steps into a new kind of nightmare: a gothic mansion, a creepy porcelain doll named Brahms, and a plot that somehow manages to be both tense and totally vanilla.   Before diving into the review, we catch up on what we’ve been up to since our last recording — Harry talks about seeing the stage play Dear England, Stacey shares her thoughts on Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, and Ben gives us his verdict on the book Year of the Rat. Then it’s straight into the world of horror, logic gaps, and lukewarm scares.   In this episode, we discuss how The Boy delivers atmosphere without payoff, how its “scares” rarely land, and how the story plays it far too safe for a horror release. From ineffective jump scares to one of the most predictable “twists” in modern horror, we dissect it all — with the usual mix of insight, humour, and friendly chaos you’ve come to expect from Nerds Against Normality.   So grab your headphones, pour something spooky, and join us as we ask the big questions: Is Brahms scary… or just misunderstood? Did Lauren Cohan deserve a better script? And can a horror movie be this clean-cut and still call itself scary?   🕯️ It’s Halloween, it’s horror, and it’s another classic Nerds Against Normality review.   #NerdsAgainstNormality #MoviePodcast #HorrorMovieReview #TheBoy2016 #HalloweenPodcast #SpookySeason #BadMovieReview #ComedyPodcast #FilmLovers #CultMovies #HorrorFans #Halloween2025 #ScaryMovieNight #MovieBuffs #BrahmsTheBoy #CreepyDoll #FilmDiscussion #CinematicChaos #HalloweenVibes #PodcastersOfSpotify
