Chris Haigh and Emma Platt are two best mates who met on a bunch of other podcasts, live across the North of the UK, and are unapologetic nerds. They catch up once a month, talking about anything and everything nerdy (and non-nerdy). Swearing non-optional.

Welcome to 2018 and to a new year of NBN. In this special New Year's special, Chris and Emma tackle their must-see movies and TV of the next twelve months, including all things Marvel, the possibility of not one but two Cloverfield movies(!), and even the high concept of their beloved Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson facing off against a transformed super-ape.

They also discuss New Year's resolutions, misogyny, making friends with random dogs, and serious mental health care for the next year.

Intro music is "Jump Up" by Purple Planet Music.

Outro music is "Celebration" by Purple Planet Music.
