Review of 2025
Hello there and welcome to a very special bonus episode of Nerdist Camp. I'm joined by my regular partner in crime, the ying to my yang, the Mulder to my Skully, the sausage to my squishy buns, Andi Elliot. Welcome to our review of 2025.
Christmas Toys
We all remember and know that feeling, not being able to get to sleep the night before due to the pure excitement, the nervousness, the anticipation. Will Santa get it right? Has he listened to what you said when you met him in the shopping centre…
Christmas Films
It’s Christmaaaaaaaaaas, well nearly. Yes it’s the run up to the silly season. Whether you’re of the religious persuasion or not, it’s still a time when there might be something interesting on telly, when you might get something you want, and will…
Bear with me, it's good!
Sometimes there's a film, a film that just chimes with you. Sometimes it's a low budget indie production, shot on a shoestring. Sometimes it's a triple A Hollywood production with a bigger marketing budget than it probably pulled back in release…

Bunkers & The Cold War
Some days, the news cycle alone makes a windowless concrete box 20 feet underground sound like a five-star spa. If I hear one more story about Putin's shirtless fishing trips, Trump’s latest bid to annex a golf course, or receive another…
S1E16
John Carpenter
As Halloween approaches, and we leave behind the 50th Anniversary of Spielberg’s two-note themed horror epic Jaws, we look at another director, one with many iconic horror films under his belt, and one who is not shy of using the two-note theme…

Music Formats and the Rise of Digital
Welcome to Episode 15 of Nerdist Camp. Yes, we built this episode from scratch, it was a stream of consciousness, so crank up the handle as we take you for a spin on a voyage of disc-covery which you may like a bit if you can work out the algorithm.

Adult Fans of Lego (AFOL)
As we were building this episode, it took a while to find all the pieces. We knew what the finished thing should look like, but we had to lay all the components on the table and figure out if any pieces were missing.
S1E13
Heist Movies
Today, we’re planning a score of our own. Every good heist story starts with assembling the team — and lucky for you, we’ve got just the right mix of brains, charm, and ok, maybe a touch of chaos.
S1E12
Titanic
Today Andi takes a deep dive into the discovery of the world's most famous shipwreck, so grab your first class tickets and get ready to join us on a voyage of discovery as we plunge the depths of our knowledge to mark 40 years since the discovery of…

UFO!
Welcome back to Nerdist Camp, the podcast where we set up camp at the crossroads of curiosity and the stories that won’t stop haunting us. Today, we’re talking about UFOs, lights in the sky, strange happenings and alien abductions.
S1E10
The War of The Worlds
The War of The Worlds Welcome back to Nerdist Camp. This week Andi and Kris discuss the H.G. Wells' classic, The War of The Worlds. We'll look at how we first encountered it and the many adaptations, both good and bad, that have followed.

The Promise of Space
In the 50s with the launch of Sputnik 1, we saw the birth of a new era of optimism, with the promise of a new frontier for exploration, re-population and adventure.
S1E8
Board Games
Welcome to Nerdist Camp—the podcast where pop culture, curiosity, and a little bit of caffeine collide! I’m your host, and your banker, and your dungeon master, and today we’re rolling the dice on a topic near and dear to our nerdy little hearts…

Disaster Movies

80s Gameshows
Today we say Gronda Gronda listeners as we are nerding about challenge-based adventure shows that were popular on British television, particularly during the 1980s and 1990s.
S1E3
Bond, James Bond
There are few things more British than tea, queuing politely, or apologising when someone else bumps into you. But nestled comfortably among these national treasures is another great tradition: James Bond on TV every single Bank Holiday Monday—like…
S1E2
Computer Games
Welcome to the second episode of our podcast. Today Kris and Andi head over to Area 52 of the Nerdist Camp, just behind the toilet block, and climb into the time machine to help us party like it's 1980(ish).
