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?
Aliens vs Aliens: The Theatrical cut or Special Edition which is better? episode artwork
Yesterday at 7:05 PM

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 Edition’s 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.

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 season’s mission statement and a deeply unsettling update on The First’s plans. Meanwhile, Buffy has to convince a very sceptical group of potentials that she’s the one to trust. And yes, we talk about the first of many, many inspirational speeches.

You’re Watching That AGAIN! is the movie podcast from Nerd Subculture where Edwina and Jarrod revisit the films they’ve 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, we’re putting the usual rewatch chat aside for a heartfelt tribute to Anthony Head following his sudden passing. We’re celebrating one of our favourite films he brought to life, Repo! The Genetic Opera, a gloriously weird, wildly camp, completely bonkers musical cult classic.

There’ll be favourite...

What Makes A Good Adaptation?

07/19/2026

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.

Join us as we discuss Anya's tragic backstory, her darkest choices, and the emotional conflict that puts the Scoobies at odds

If you’re a confused Gen-Xer or Elder Millennial who is confused about why the teens are going nuts for an A24 arthouse movie, we have the podcast for you. I was left incredibly confused by my kids begging me to go see the movie Backrooms, that I went down a very interesting rabbit hole, so you don’t have to.

You’re Watching That AGAIN! Psycho Beach Party 2000

05/10/2026

You’re Watching That AGAIN! is the movie podcast from Nerd Subculture where Edwina and Jarrod unpack the films they’ve 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...

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. In this episode, we are late to the party on this one, but after seeing Avatar: Fire and Ash, Jarrod has an axe to grind with Mr James Cameron. 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 it’s Papyrus to Herculanum. We discuss wh...

This week, we’re 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

04/05/2026

Today on the podcast, we’re 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 Gellar’s video had me in tears, and she didn’t hold back, calling out a Hulu executive who made it clear he was not a fan. The narrative quickly became that the pilot was “bad” and that Chloé Zhao’s vision would have somehow damaged the Buffy legacy, but fans weren’t buying it.

You’re Watching That AGAIN! is a movie Podcast from Nerd Subculture where Edwina and Jarrod discuss the movies they have re-watched too many times and the emotional connections we have to them. Since it is the silly season, we are leaning into a classic Christmas pick. In this episode, we delve into one of our favourite Christmas movies, Home Alone. A much-loved family classic and a non-negotiable part of our Christmas viewing tradition each year. We will discuss how did a film built on parental failure, child endangerment, and cartoon-level violence become one of the most enduring and co...

In this episode, we are dragging the way cringe gets tossed around like confetti at anything people don’t like. We pull apart what cringe actually means, what camp is, and how the terms are mixed up and weaponized. We also delve into how having more access to subculture spaces online has made it more acceptable for the internet to slap...

As it is spooky season, we thought we should do a horror movie to keep on theme with Halloween. In this episode, we delve into one of our favourite horror comedies, the meta masterpiece that is The Cabin In The Woods.

This week, we unravel Entropy. An episode so on-the-nose with its title, it might as well be screaming. Lies unravel, friendships fracture, and revenge gets messy. It's the emotional equivalent of a slow-motion car crash, and just when you think it can’t get worse, someone opens their mouth and makes it worse. But through all the wreckage and emotional chaos, there is just the tiniest, cruelest glimmer of hope to keep us from collapsing into the vo...

This week, we're talking Normal Again — the episode where Buffy might just be a delusional psych patient and everything we’ve watched for six seasons is all in her head. Bold meta twist, lazy writing or a personal attack on the viewer? Grab your demon-slaying meds, as we break it down.

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.

We’re 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, we’re asking:
