Nerds Against Normality

Nerds Against Normality – Film reviews for… well, nerds. Who’re against normality. Join hosts Harry (that’s me), Stacey (we’re a husband and wife power couple) and our friend Ben (very much a power single) as we review new and classic movies, with plenty of TV, music and video game references along the way. Expect movie trivia, insider scoops and the occasional forfeit that borders on bullying. Ben works for Netflix, Harry (that’s me, we’ve been through this) is a retro video games dealer, Stacey, she’s dusted off her mostly useless film degree. Whether we’re roasting new films coming out in 2025 or rediscovering cult classic films of the 90s, it’s all about the banter, the nostalgia and the chaos. And it often falls into chaos. New episodes out weekly and we hope you enjoy our nerdy podcast as much as we enjoy making it. Will this be the best movie review podcast you’ve ever listened to? Definitely. Destroying movie characters? You bet. Useless statistics of video games? You got it. A nerdy quiz every now and then?! Oh go on then. Fellow nerds... assemble!* *Subscribe.

Nerds x Davey A Talks! 🎙️
This week on Nerds Against Normality, it’s a full-blown crossover episode as me and Stacey are joined by the legend himself — Dave from the Davey A Talks podcast!
 
We dive deep into Dave’s holy trinity of pop culture obsessions, breaking down his Top 3 Films, Games, and TV Shows. Expect heated nostalgia, unexpected hot takes, and a whole lot of nerdy passion as we discuss:
🎬 Terminator 2 – Is it STILL the best sequel of all time?
🎮 Metal Gear Solid – Was Kojima a genius or just mad with power?
📺 Phoenix Nights – Does Brian Potter deserve a BAFTA? (Yes. Always.)
 
If you love pop culture debates, ‘90s throwbacks, and hearing us try to out-nerd a guest, this is the episode for you.
 
🧠 Opinions were shared. Friendships were tested. Stacey nearly walked. Again.
 
🎧 Catch us every Wednesday on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & wherever you get your nerd fix.

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.

This week on Nerds Against Normality, we’re rewinding back to 1984 to dissect the film that launched a thousand time travel headaches — The Terminator. From cyborg assassins and ‘80s tech paranoia to James Cameron’s rise and Arnie’s iconic one-liners, we break down how this low-budget sci-fi thriller became a genre-defining classic.
 
Expect bold takes, thematic deep dives, and possibly a heated argument over whether Skynet could’ve been stopped with just a floppy disk and a strong WiFi password.

This week on Nerds Against Normality, we dive claws-first into the Y2K fever dream that tried to satirize capitalism by... selling you literally everything in sight. Was it a bold critique of consumerism, or just one long advert with a catchy soundtrack? We tried to figure it out, but we got distracted by the 47 corporate logos in every scene.
Join us as we discuss what went wrong, what almost worked, and why this movie feels like Clueless and Fight Club had a glittery, confused baby.
If you love cult classics, comic book chaos, and a good ol’ fashioned cinematic roast — this one’s for you. Josie might be a pussycat, but we’re not pulling any claws.
Before we delve into the film review we have a short catchup with what nerdy stuff we've been up to. If you just want to get stuck into the review then skip ahead to 11:40!
