  • You're Watching That AGAIN! Repo! The Genetic Opera

    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 moments, memorable performances, plenty of discussion about what makes Repo! so wonderfully unhinged, and a lot of love for Anthony Head and the mark he left on the films and characters we’ve come to adore.

    It’s a rewatch with a heavy heart, but also a celebration of a film, a performer, and the joy of finding something you can watch AGAIN and AGAIN.

  • 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.

    Was Queen of the Damned really as bad as we remembered? Or has time softened the blow? That debate quickly snowballs into a bigger discussion about what makes a great book adaptation, and why so many Hollywood adaptations completely lose what made the original special.

    Along the way, we compare adaptation hits and misses and debate why some adaptations become classics while others leave fans wondering if the filmmakers even opened the book. If you enjoy dissecting movies versus books, or just want to hear two people passionately argue about the best and worst adaptations ever made, this episode is for you.

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

  • You’re Watching That AGAIN! Psycho Beach Party 2000

    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 campy 70s slasher films, it feels like the kind of bold, chaotic movie that simply would not get made today. Featuring an incredible cast of rising actors, Psycho Beach Party became one of those films we found ourselves revisiting again and again. In this episode, we talk about why it has stayed with us for so long, what Nicholas Brendon brought to the film, and the complicated feelings we have around his death.

    In Yesterday Is Almost Here, Nicholas Brendon plays struggling screenwriter Douglas Wynter, a man spiralling after the death of a close friend and unable to finish the script that could save his career. Hoping for a reset, his wife Veronica arranges a quiet weekend getaway, but when an estranged friend and his mysterious wife unexpectedly arrive, buried tensions, dangerous obsessions, and painful truths begin to surface. What follows is a psychological and deeply personal journey through grief, identity, addiction, and self-destruction.

  • We Need To Talk About Avatar

    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. 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 why we have an issue with this.
