Nerd Subculture Podcast
Welcome to Nerd Subculture podcast feed where Edwina & Jarrod discuss everything from TV show, movies, music and video games. Currently doing a re-watch of Buffy the Vampire Slayer because the only way to get Jarrod to watch the show was to do a podcast about it.
Aliens vs Aliens: The Theatrical cut or Special Edition which is better?
One movie. Two cuts. Seventeen extra minutes to argue about.
Jarrod and his friend Cory go head-to-head over Aliens: is the leaner theatrical cut the superior version, or does the Special Editionâs extra footage make it the ultimate way to experience the film? Edwina steps in as mediator, armed with opinions and the unenviable task of keeping two Aliens fans from declaring war. Expect strong cases, questionable restraint, and absolutely no guarantee of a peaceful resolution.
Once More With Feeling 7 x 10 Bring On The Night
Apparently, the only way Edwina could get her husband to watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer was by starting a podcast. In this episode, we tackle the pivotal Season 7 episode Bring On the Night. Giles returns with the seasonâs mission statement and a deeply unsettling update on The Firstâs plans. Meanwhile, Buffy has to convince a very sceptical group of potentials that sheâs the one to trust. And yes, we talk about the first of many, many inspirational speeches.
Once More With Felling 7 x 9 Never Leave Me
The only way Edwina could convince her husband to watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer was to do a podcast about it. In this episode, we talk about the fairly forgettable Buffy episode Never Leave Me and whether the destruction of The Watchers Council is a good thing or a bad thing.Â

You're Watching That AGAIN! Repo! The Genetic Opera
Youâre Watching That AGAIN! is the movie podcast from Nerd Subculture where Edwina and Jarrod revisit the films theyâve watched so many times they practically know the dialogue by heart, and dig into why some movies become more than just movies.
For this special episode, weâre putting the usual rewatch chat aside for a heartfelt tribute to Anthony Head following his sudden passing. Weâre celebrating one of our favourite films he brought to life, Repo! The Genetic Opera, a gloriously weird, wildly camp, completely bonkers musical cult classic.

What Makes A Good Adaptation?
Welcome to the podcast where we turn our rage into content. Each episode, we deep-dive into whatever is currently grinding our gears, from everyday annoyances to the kind of stuff that makes you yell at clouds. This week, we're sinking our teeth into Interview With the Vampire TV Series, the phenomenal adaptation of Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles, and the recent The Vampire Lestat season. Which, of course, sent us spiralling into a conversation about Queen of the Damned, the film adaptation that somehow had all the source material and still managed to miss the point.

Why the f*#k are my kids begging to see Backrooms?

Youâre Watching That AGAIN! Psycho Beach Party 2000
Youâre Watching That AGAIN! is the movie podcast from Nerd Subculture where Edwina and Jarrod unpack the films theyâve watched far too many times, and the emotional connections that keep pulling them back in.
Following the sudden passing of Nicholas Brendon, we decided to dedicate a tribute episode to one of our favourite films in his career, the cult classic Psycho Beach Party. It was never a box office hit, but over the years, this strange, hilarious, and genuinely unique film has built a loyal following. Blending 1960s beach party movies, Hitchcock-inspired psychological thrillers, and camp...

Jarrod is a big fan of movies like Terminator 2 and Aliens, but the Avatar movies seem to be the same movie remade with a different font, but itâs Papyrus to Herculanum. We discuss wh...
Once More With Feeling - 7 x 3 Same Time, Same Place
The only way Edwina could convince her husband to watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer was to do a podcast about it. This week, weâre breaking down Same Time, Same Place and asking the important questions, is Gnarl the creepiest monster in the Buffyverse, and did the Scoobies let Willow off the hook way too easily?
International Buffy Day Special
Today on the podcast, weâre talking about the news that hit a lot of Buffy fans hard, the Buffy: New Sunnydale reboot pilot was not picked up to series by Hulu.
Like many fans, I was genuinely upset. Sarah Michelle Gellarâs video had me in tears, and she didnât hold back, calling out a Hulu executive who made it clear he was not a fan. The narrative quickly became that the pilot was âbadâ and that ChloĂŠ Zhaoâs vision would have somehow damaged the Buffy legacy, but fans werenât buying it.

Each episode, we deep-dive into whatever is currently grinding our gears â from everyday annoyances to the kind of stuff that makes you yell at clouds.
Weâre kicking things off with the streaming apocalypse. HBO Max just landed in Australia like a content-hungry vulture, swiping shows from every other platform. So naturally, weâre asking:
