Explore every episode of the podcast Nerds Against Normality

In this episode of Nerds Against Normality, Harry and Vic go head-to-head in a Disney Princess Debate — building full governments using heroines from animated Disney movies.

Each of us drafts a full cabinet: Defence. Economy. Culture. Foreign Affairs. Prime Minister.

Simple enough… until we start tearing each other’s picks apart.

Some choices make perfect sense.

Others would ruin a country in about a week.

Bad decisions. Questionable logic. Absolute chaos.

So — who actually builds the better government?

Together (2025) review — this week we’re diving into a relationship horror that genuinely caught us off guard.

Directed by Michael Shanks and starring Alison Brie and Dave Franco, Together takes a simple idea and pushes it into some seriously uncomfortable territory.

In this episode of Nerds Against Normality, we break down the story, characters, and whether the film’s unsettling approach actually works — or if it just goes too far. It’s the kind of film that leaves you thinking… but not always in a good way.

This also marks Vic’s first ever pick on the podcast, so expectations are high. We kick things off with her first One Thing, where she’s been playing Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc on the Nintendo Switch — her first dive into a JRPG.

Expect strong opinions, a few disagreements, and the usual chaos.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Review (Spoilers) — masterpiece or overhyped? 👀🎮

We’re diving into a full spoiler review of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, the ambitious follow-up that sends Mario into full-on cosmic madness — bigger worlds, bolder swings, and a lot to argue about.

From genuinely stunning animation to some… questionable character choices, we break down whether this is the best Mario film yet or just a case of nostalgia doing the heavy lifting.

🚀 Does it beat the 2023 Mario movie?

🌌 Is this the peak of video game adaptations?

👀 Or are people getting carried away?

Expect our usual deep dive into plot, characters, visuals, and our final scores out of 100.

🎙️ One Thing:

Harry talks about The Housemaid — a film that seriously surpassed expectations and ended up being a surprise standout.

If you like honest reviews, strong opinions, and the occasional bit of chaos… you’re in the right place.

In this episode of Nerds Against Normality, we’re reviewing Ready or Not (2019) — the dark comedy horror starring Samara Weaving, Adam Brody, Mark O’Brien, and Andie MacDowell, directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (Radio Silence). We dive into whether this cult-favourite horror still holds up, breaking down its brutal premise, standout performances, and chaotic final act.

Before that, it’s Ben’s pick for “One Thing” — where he shares his thoughts on the latest Silent Hill movie (Return to Silent Hill), and let’s just say… it doesn’t exactly get a glowing review.

As always, we break the film down into plot, characters, and key themes, with plenty of chaos, laughs, and the usual Nerds Against Normality tangents along the way. Stick around for our final scores out of 100 and see whether Ready or Not earns our approval — or gets thrown straight to the crematorium.

The Crow (1994) review — Brandon Lee’s iconic cult classic, directed by Alex Proyas, gets a full breakdown as we revisit one of the most influential gothic revenge films ever made.

Harry’s “one thing” this week is Stellar Blade on PS5 — a spoiler-free take after finishing the game, covering gameplay, feel, and whether it lives up to the hype.

Nearly 30 years on, does The Crow still hold up? Is it genuinely great, or driven by nostalgia? And where does it rank among the best comic book adaptations?

Expect strong opinions, deep dives, and the usual chaos (including a bit of Ben slander).

Oscars 2026 predictions — Harry vs Ben. Loser takes the forfeit.

We’re predicting the winners of the Academy Awards, covering Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and the biggest categories of the night.

This isn’t just an Oscars breakdown — it’s a head-to-head battle.

Every correct pick scores a point. Every wrong call has consequences.

From shock upsets to “it’s already won” locks, we go all in on who’s taking home the Oscars — and who’s getting it completely wrong.

One of us will win.

One of us will be punished.

Stick around for the full results and the forfeit reveal.

New episodes every Wednesday covering films, TV, games, and all things nerd culture.

This week we’re reviewing About Time (2013), the Richard Curtis time-travel romance starring Domhnall Gleeson, Rachel McAdams, and Bill Nighy — and this one was a fan request!

It’s also a big episode as we introduce our new co-host, Victoria Francis, making her debut on the podcast.

No “One Thing” this week — instead we answer Lauren’s question: if you could go back in time and relive one day, what would it be?

Then we break down About Time — its unique take on time travel, emotional impact, and whether it’s more than just a rom-com.

This week on Nerds Against Normality, we dive into The Truman Show (1998) — the Jim Carrey classic that predicted reality TV, social media obsession, and our love of watching other people’s lives unfold.

But before we get into the review, we have a bittersweet announcement: this is Stacey’s final episode for a little while as she prepares for an exciting new chapter. Don’t worry though — a brand-new co-host is already lined up and will be joining the podcast very soon…

🎮 One Thing

Stacey has finally finished Split Fiction, and we break down the experience, the story, and whether it lives up to the hype.

🎬 Main Review – The Truman Show

We revisit Peter Weir’s mind-bending classic starring Jim Carrey, Laura Linney, Ed Harris and Noah Emmerich, and ask:

Does The Truman Show feel even more relevant today?

Is this Jim Carrey’s greatest performance?

How terrifying would it actually be to discover your entire life was fake?

We discuss the film’s themes, performances, world-building, and why this movie still feels so eerily ahead of its time.

As always, we wrap things up with our final scores and decide whether The Truman Show still deserves its reputation as one of the most unique films of the 90s.

If you enjoy movie reviews, video games, and nerd culture debates, you’re in the right place.

🗺️ How long would it take to walk across your favourite fantasy worlds?

In this quiz episode of Nerds Against Normality, Ben takes over hosting duties and challenges Harry and Stacey to estimate the travel time between famous locations across some of the biggest fictional worlds in film, TV and gaming.

There’s just one rule: you’re travelling at a steady 3 miles per hour.

From the kingdoms of Game of Thrones to the lands of The Legend of Zelda, the wizarding world of Harry Potter, and even galaxies from Star Wars, we try to figure out just how big these fictional worlds really are by guessing how long it would take to travel between iconic locations.

Play along and see if you can judge the scale of these fantasy worlds better than we can.

🎙 Nerds Against Normality is a weekly podcast where we review movies, TV shows and video games — with quizzes, games and nerd debates along the way.

Topics in this episode:

Fantasy worlds, Game of Thrones map, Legend of Zelda map, Harry Potter locations, Star Wars planets, fantasy geography, nerd quiz, fantasy travel distances.

This week on Nerds Against Normality, we’re back in a world ravaged by the rage virus with a full spoiler review of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple.

Directed by Nia DaCosta and written by Alex Garland, The Bone Temple stars Ralph Fiennes, Jack O’Connell, Erin Kellyman, Alfie Williams, and Chi Lewis-Parry.

⚠️ SPOILER WARNING ⚠️

This is a full spoiler discussion. We break down the entire plot, analyse the characters, talk through the film’s biggest ideas, and explore where we think the franchise is heading next after this bold and unsettling sequel.

Before we dive into the review, we kick things off with our usual “One Thing” segment. This week, Ben’s been keeping an eye on the upcoming Oscars, chatting through some of the big nominations and buzzy titles — including Sinners, Marty Supreme, F1, and Frankenstein — and what might dominate awards season.

🎧 New episodes of Nerds Against Normality drop every Wednesday, wherever you get your podcasts.

If you’re into spoiler-heavy movie reviews, franchise deep dives, and unapologetic nerd chat — you’re in the right place.

We dive into Netflix’s action crime thriller The Rip — the 2026 film directed and written by Joe Carnahan and starring Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Steven Yeun, Teyana Taylor, Sasha Calle, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Scott Adkins, and Kyle Chandler — as we review its gritty story of Miami narcotics officers whose trust unravels after discovering millions in hidden cash and facing betrayal within their own ranks. The Rip — now streaming on Netflix — blends intense action with moral ambiguity and the classic Damon-Affleck chemistry you've grown to love.

Before we dig into the movie, in our One Thing segment we talk about the 40th anniversary of Dragon Ball, the massive Dragon Ball event celebrations, featuring what's next for dragonball super, the new upcoming video game and the remake of the "battle of the gods arc" 

Is The Devil Wears Prada secretly one of the most iconic films of the 2000s?

This week on Nerds Against Normality, we step into the world of high fashion, impossible bosses, and endlessly quotable moments as we review The Devil Wears Prada.

Directed by David Frankel and starring Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, the film remains one of the most quotable comedies of its era.

Before the review, we kick things off with our One Thing segment:

Stacey talks about the Until Dawn film adaptation — why it didn’t work for us.

Ben breaks down the showcase trailer for Resident Evil 9 Requiem.

Harry chats about recent Ubisoft game cancellations and what they say about the industry.

We then dive into the plot, characters, performances, and what we expect from the confirmed sequel.

🎧 Out now on Spotify & Apple Podcasts

This week on Nerds Against Normality, we’re blind ranking classic cartoons from the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s — with one ruthless rule: once a cartoon is placed, it’s locked in forever.

Stacey throws out iconic animated shows at random, and Ben and I have to decide exactly where they belong on a six-tier ranking system, without knowing what’s coming next. No reshuffling. No second chances. Just permanent decisions and instant regret.

Along the way, we’re forced to rank legendary cartoons including Spider-Man, Dragon Ball Z, Sonic the Hedgehog, The Simpsons, X-Men, The Powerpuff Girls, Scooby-Doo, Ben 10, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Pokémon, and many more childhood favourites.

Do the biggest cartoons of our childhood truly deserve top-tier status, or does nostalgia cloud the judgement when the pressure’s on? And once a bad placement is locked in… is there any way back?

Nerds Against Normality is a weekly podcast covering movies, video games, TV, and all things nerd culture, with debates, games, and strong opinions that rarely align.

New episodes every Wednesday.

This week on Nerds Against Normality, we’re reviewing Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, the early-2000s video game movie that helped define the genre — for better and worse.

Released in 2001 and starring Angelina Jolie as the iconic Lara Croft, this was one of the first big-budget attempts to turn a massively popular game into a blockbuster film. But over twenty years later, does it still hold up… or is it just a loud, stylish relic of its time?

We break down the plot, characters, action, soundtrack, and faithfulness to the original games — including whether the film respects Lara Croft as a character, how Daniel Craig fits into the chaos, and why Croft Manor might have the worst security system in cinema history.

Along the way, we argue about:

Whether Tomb Raider works because it skips an origin story

If the film only makes sense to PS1-era fans

How faithful it really is to the games

And whether Lara Croft could’ve stopped everything by simply staying home

It’s messy, funny, occasionally insightful, and very 2001.

🎮 Film reviews, pop-culture debates, and questionable opinions — every Wednesday.

We review Predator: Badlands, breaking down the plot, expanded Predator lore, survival tactics, and whether this bold new chapter actually reinvigorates the iconic sci-fi franchise.

Plus, we tackle the most important question of all: could SpongeBob SquarePants actually survive against a Predator? The answer is unhinged, surprisingly tactical, and somehow very on-brand for us.

Before the hunt begins, we kick things off with Our One Thing: Stacey dives into the fantasy phenomenon House of Earth and Blood, Harry talks about starting the emotionally brutal anime Eighty Six, and Ben shares his thoughts on Netflix’s animated take on Tomb Raider.

From there, it’s full Predator chaos. We unpack the Badlands planet, the savage rules of survival, Home Alone–style traps, and what Predator: Badlands means for the future of the franchise.

If you’re a fan of Predator movies, sci-fi action, deep-cut lore, ridiculous hypotheticals, and pop-culture debates that spiral wildly out of control, this episode is very much for you.

New episodes every Wednesday. Follow Nerds Against Normality for movie, TV, and video game reviews — plus arguments that start stupid and end weirdly tactical.

We review Wake Up Dead Man, Netflix’s latest entry in the Knives Out franchise, breaking down the mystery, performances, twists, and whether Benoit Blanc still has the magic.

We dig into the locked-room church murder, debate the runtime, unpack the cast, and argue over how this stacks up against Knives Out and Glass Onion. Is this a worthy sequel — or the first real misstep for the franchise?

Before the murder kicks off, things get chaotic with Our One Thing: indie film recommendations, retro gaming nostalgia, and a full spoiler-filled debate on Stranger Things Season 5 — including the ending, Will’s arc, and whether it actually worked.

Then it’s back to murder as we lock in killer predictions, argue over motives and red herrings, and unleash our deranged game of the week: Bible or Bt?** — featuring ridiculous religious laws, fake commandments, and one brutally personal bonus round aimed directly at Ben.

If you love Knives Out, Netflix movies, murder mysteries, and chaotic comedy podcasts where no one is safe (especially Ben), this episode is very much for you.

New episodes every Wednesday. Follow Nerds Against Normality for movie, TV, and video game reviews — plus pop-culture debates that spiral wildly out of control.

We review The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn, Steven Spielberg’s motion-capture adventure, and ask whether this underrated blockbuster deserves far more love than it ever got.

We break down the film’s action set-pieces, its strange relationship with Belgium, the questionable accents, and why Tintin himself might be the most suspiciously perfect protagonist ever created.

Ben enters his full Tintin defender era, Stacey is openly baffled by everything from the plot to the geography, and Harry spends most of the episode questioning whether Belgium is real, why everyone sounds Cockney, and how Tintin can apparently do everything without a single flaw.

Along the way, we also compare Tintin to Indiana Jones, Uncharted, and modern adventure films, debate motion capture and the uncanny valley, unpack the film’s budget and box office, and ask why a sequel never happened.

Things finally derail completely with our trivia game “Belgium or Bollocks”, before we end the episode arguing about accents until the podcast collapses under its own weight.

Is Tintin a misunderstood classic?

Is it just a kids’ film pretending to be clever?

Or is it secretly flawless… like Tintin himself?

🎙️ 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. 💙

We review Bad Santa, the infamous anti-Christmas comedy, and ask whether it’s actually funny in 2025 — or just shock humour that’s aged like milk.

We dig into Billy Bob Thornton’s nihilistic Santa, the film’s failed redemption arc, how the jokes land (or don’t), and whether Bad Santa deserves a spot in your yearly Christmas movie rotation… or a permanent ban.

Before the review, things go fully festive and immediately derail. Stacey hosts a rapid-fire Christmas quiz packed with Elf, Home Alone, Die Hard, Love Actually, The Office, Friends, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine — complete with impressions, arguments, and absolutely no respect for time limits.

From there, we spiral into cursed territory: hot takes, nostalgic reality checks, brutal honesty, and the most deranged question of the episode — “How many people are weirdly horny for Santa?”

We also tumble into bizarre global Christmas folklore, from Krampus and Iceland’s Yule Lads to the Yule Goat, Sinterklaas, La Befana, and the deeply unsettling Christmas pickle tradition.

If you like movie reviews, dark comedies, Christmas films, and chaotic friend banter that goes wildly off-topic but somehow stays on brand, this one’s for you.

New episodes every Wednesday. Follow Nerds Against Normality for movie, TV, and video game reviews — plus pop-culture debates that spiral wildly out of control.

We review Champagne Problems, Netflix’s glossy festive rom-com, and ask the big Christmas question: is this the ultimate comfort film — or just a Hallmark movie with better lighting and worse decisions?

Join Harry, Stacey, and Ben as we wade through Christmas in France, bookshop meet-cutes, vineyard drama, and enough rom-com clichés to fill an entire château.

Along the way, things derail fast. We somehow detour into Stranger Things Season 5, Welcome to Derry, and Harry having a full existential meltdown after being forced to play The Sims 3 (yes, the fridge caught fire).

We also debut our brand-new game “Cliché or Cabernet”, which goes exactly as responsibly as you’d expect — right up until Audacity rage-quits mid-episode and we limp over the finish line with verdict voice notes and festive chaos.

If you like Christmas movies, Netflix rom-coms, comfort-watch debates, and chaotic friend banter that spirals wildly off course, this episode’s for you.

🎮 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?

We review Clueless, the endlessly quotable 90s teen classic, exploring why it became a cult favourite — and the surprisingly dark subtext people still argue about today.

We unpack whether Clueless really is a modern adaptation of Emma, debate whether Cher Horowitz is a misunderstood hero or low-key high-school villain, and look at why the film’s fashion, quotes, and cultural impact refuse to die.

We also dig into the behind-the-scenes trivia, cast glow-ups, and the things fans still get wrong — before settling the eternal debate: Clueless vs Mean Girls vs Legally Blonde. Who actually rules the teen-comedy throne?

Before the review, we catch up on what we’ve been watching and playing: early impressions of Ghost of Yōtei on PS5, Stacey dives into Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2, and Ben tackles Netflix’s Devil May Cry anime and whether it does Dante justice.

Whether you’re here for the nostalgia, the fashion, the cast throwbacks, or just to hear us argue about whether Cher is secretly the villain, this is the Clueless review for you.

In this week’s episode of Nerds Against Normality, we sit down with Marlene Sharp — former Sega of America producer of Sonic Boom Season 2, and a key contributor to the beloved Sonic Mania.

Marlene takes us through her incredible career journey across animation, gaming, and entertainment, while sharing her deep love for Barbie, storytelling, and fandom culture. We also explore her meaningful work supporting the neurodivergent community, where she champions representation, accessibility, and inclusive creative spaces.

If you’re passionate about Sega, Sonic, gaming history, animation, industry insights, or uplifting creative journeys, this is an unmissable episode.

We review Frankenstein, Guillermo del Toro’s long-awaited adaptation, exploring its gothic atmosphere, emotional weight, and why this might be the most personal monster story he’s ever told.

With a stacked cast including Oscar Isaac, Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz and David Bradley, we break down the performances, del Toro’s obsession with tragic monsters, and how this version compares to earlier Frankenstein adaptations.

Before we unleash the monster, we kick things off with a proper catch-up: Stacey gives her verdict on Alice in Borderland Season 3, Harry finishes Attack on Titan and shares the emotional damage, and Ben somehow derails everything with an early-90s documentary in classic Ben fashion.

Then it’s back to the main event as we dig into del Toro’s directing style, the film’s themes of creation and suffering, and whether Frankenstein cements itself as a modern gothic classic.

If you love movies, monster lore, Guillermo del Toro’s weird brilliance, or just enjoy hearing us roast each other while talking cinema, this episode is very much for you.

New episodes every Wednesday. Follow Nerds Against Normality for movie, TV, and video game reviews — plus pop-culture debates that spiral wildly out of control.

This week on Nerds Against Normality, we’re doing something completely different!

Play along at home, shout out the answers, and see if you can beat the lads—because the loser faces a brutal forfeit… and Stacey made sure it’s a good one.

This week, the gang dives into Better Man, the wild and emotional Robbie Williams biopic directed by The Greatest Showman’s Michael Gracey. Starring Jonno Davies, Steve Pemberton and Alison Steadman, this Oscar-nominated film tells the story of fame, chaos and chimps (yes, really).

Before the review, Stacey chats about Benedict Cumberbatch’s The Roses, Ben covers horror hits Under the Shadow and When Evil Lurks, and Harry kicks off a retro binge with the original WipeOut on PS1.

As always, it’s a light-hearted, nerdy breakdown packed with laughs, hot takes and plenty of pop-culture chaos.

This week, the Nerds are heading to the Valley of Peace to tackle one of DreamWorks’ most beloved animated adventures — Kung Fu Panda (2008)! Directed by Mark Osborne and John Stevenson, and featuring an all-star cast including Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Seth Rogen, Lucy Liu, Ian McShane, and Jackie Chan, this martial-arts masterpiece blends stunning animation, heartfelt storytelling, and belly-laugh humour in equal measure.

Before the review kicks off, the gang share their “One Thing We’ve Been Up To”:

🎬 Stacey dives into Nicole Kidman’s latest film, “Babygirl”

🎮 Ben talks about finally playing Alan Wake 2 for the first time

🦸‍♂️ Harry wraps up Marvel’s “What If…?” series and gives his verdict

Then it’s time for the main event — the Kung Fu Panda review — packed with laughs, deep dives, and plenty of noodle-filled nostalgia. Plus, Harry challenges Ben and Stacey to a brand-new game called “Kung Who?” 🥋 — where they have to guess whether a line came from Kung Fu Panda or another Jack Black classic. Spoiler: chaos ensues.

Tune in for a mix of film trivia, unfiltered opinions, and pure panda-powered fun.

It’s Halloween once again so Nerds Against Normality are diving into one of the eeriest British horrors ever made — The Woman in Black! 👻

Before tackling the ghostly gothic thrills of Eel Marsh House, the gang catch up on everything from pop culture to personal nightmares:

💅 Stacey shares her thoughts on Victoria Beckham’s new documentary and the chaos of celebrity life.

🦸‍♂️ Ben gives his reaction to Marvel’s new Fantastic Four reboot, discussing what fans can really expect. 

🎥 Harry talks about the new horror film “Bring Her Back”, breaking down what makes it one of the most disturbing new releases of the year.

Then it’s on to our Halloween review of The Woman in Black — a chilling classic full of tension, jump scares, and gothic atmosphere. We tear into the story, the scares, and whether Daniel Radcliffe truly pulls off his post-Potter performance.

To finish, Harry unleashes his latest game: the Phobia Knockout Tournament 🕷️😱 — where the hosts battle it out to decide which fear is truly the worst. Expect laughter, chaos, and a few screams along the way!

If you love horror movies, Halloween specials, ghost stories, British cinema, Daniel Radcliffe, jump scares, haunted houses, or movie podcast banter, this episode’s for you.

New releases every Wednesday wherever you get your podcast fix!

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.

This week on Nerds Against Normality, we dive head-first into the roaring seas of Russell Crowe’s epic historical adventure – Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World.

Before we even set sail, we kick things off with our “One Thing” segment:

🎬 Stacey braves the elements at an open-air cinema screening of The Goonies,

🔥 Harry heads to the big screen for the brand-new Demon Slayer movie, and

🎮 Ben dives into all the biggest reveals from the Tokyo Game Show.

Then it’s time to weigh anchor for one of the most underrated films of the 2000s — a brutal, brilliant look at life aboard a British warship during the Napoleonic Wars. We talk about how men were truly men back then (and even the boys were tougher than most of us today), how hard life really was at sea, and why Paul Bettany deserves way more love for his performance as Dr. Maturin.

Expect laughs, deep dives, and plenty of banter as we ask: was Master and Commander a cinematic masterpiece or just a glorified game of Battleship?

✅ The dark, gritty comic-book influences that shaped the film’s tone.

📽️ Spielberg’s magic vs. modern blockbuster chaos

This week on Nerds Against Normality, we’re diving headfirst into the slow-mo, wire-fu madness that is Bulletproof Monk (2003). Starring Chow Yun-Fat, Seann William Scott, and Jaime King, this cult action flick asks one vital question: can a monk really dodge bullets and critical reviews?

We’re putting this martial arts-meets-millennium-edge oddity under the microscope to find out:

🧀 Is it a cheesy hidden gem?

💩 Or is it just glorified garbage wrapped in slow-motion spin kicks?

⏳ How does it hold up in today’s era of cinematic snobbery and superhero saturation?

🧘‍♂️ Is there actually wisdom in the madness or just monks doing backflips for no reason?

Expect over-the-top action, early 2000s CGI, and a deep dive into whether this movie deserves a second chance... or a one-way ticket to the DVD bargain bin.

This week on Nerds Against Normality, we hit the gas and dive helmet-first into Ron Howard’s 2013 Formula 1 drama Rush — a film based on the legendary real-life rivalry between James Hunt and Niki Lauda. Expect fierce competition, life-or-death moments, and a lot of engine-revving opinions from your favourite trio of pop culture nerds.

But does Rush take pole position among sports biopics, or does it stall on the grid? We break down the performances, the visuals, the sound design, and that Nürburgring sequence — all without giving away if we loved it or loathed it. Fans of Chris Hemsworth, Daniel Brühl, 70s aesthetics, and high-octane drama — this one’s for you.

🎬 BONUS EPISODE: 90s Movie Franchise Tier List Mayhem! 🎬

In this chaotic bonus episode of Nerds Against Normality, we dive headfirst into the golden age of cinema—the 1990s—to rank the most iconic movie franchises that spawned during that wild decade. But there’s a brutal twist... each tier from A to F can only have five franchises each, and once a film is placed, it’s locked in for good. No swaps. No regrets. No mercy.

Ben and Stacey have no idea what’s coming as Harry drops surprise after surprise—Jurassic Park, The Matrix, Toy Story, Mission: Impossible, Scream, Ace Ventura, Deep Blue Sea—and more cult classics from your childhood and VHS glory days.

Will Pixar triumph? Will Neo dodge the F tier? And will Ben somehow manage to rank something correctly without enraging the entire internet?

Expect laughs, drama, bold opinions, and complete 90s chaos as we relive the birth of blockbuster greatness.

This week on Nerds Against Normality, we’re high-kicking into the razzle-dazzle world of Chicago (2002) — the glitzy, gritty, and gloriously cynical musical that brought jazz hands and jailbirds back into fashion. We’re talking murder, media manipulation, and musical numbers that slap harder than a courtroom sentence.

Expect behind-the-scenes trivia, unfiltered opinions, musical hot takes, and a few confessions of our own. Is Roxie a victim or a villain? Does Velma steal the show? And is Chicago the best movie musical of the 2000s or just a jazzed-up justice fantasy?

🎧 Nerds Against Normality – Silent Hill 2 (PS5) Review: Is the Fog Still Thick or Just Our Expectations?

In this week’s episode, we descend back into the misty madness of Silent Hill 2 — now reborn on the PS5. But is this remake a terrifying triumph or just a nostalgia-fueled cash grab?

We talk rusty pipes, repressed trauma, redesigned monsters (hi, Pyramid Head), and whether the new graphics actually enhance the horror… or just make everything look a bit too clean. Plus, we ask the real question: does it still make you question your sanity, or does it feel more like Melancholy Hill: The Game?

Expect deep dives into the lore, loud opinions, bad impressions of foghorns, and even a heated debate about who the true monster really is. It’s psychological horror meets podcast chaos.

This week on Nerds Against Normality, we grab a baseball bat, stock up on snacks, and dive headfirst into the post-apocalyptic nightmare that is Danny Boyle’s iconic virus-fueled horror flick, 28 Days Later.

Expect blood, bleakness, and more running than your last failed attempt at couch to 5k. We’re talking about rage zombies (don’t call them that), the bleak beauty of abandoned London, Cillian Murphy’s early stardom, and whether this film quietly redefined the horror genre forever.

We’ll argue over the real monster of the film (hint: it’s not the infected), compare survival plans (spoiler: Stacey would 100% leave us behind), and debate if fast zombies were a genius upgrade or just cardio-fuelled panic attacks on screen.

If you’re into British horror classics, virus apocalypse chaos, or just want to hear us lose our minds over a horse that makes a weird cameo (yep, that happens)… this episode is your jam.
