2016: a phenomenal success or Worst. Year. Ever? Our nerds look at the highs, lows, wins, losses, Civil Wars and Stranger Things that have happened in pop culture and the real world over the past twelve months. Who won? Who lost? Our nerds battle it out to have the last word on the last year. One thing's for sure, though: no-one is allowed to play the Trump card.

In our traditional follow up to our Star Wars special, we examine STARS and WARS, but never STAR WARS.

Featuring:

Brendon Bennetts, Andrew Kepple, Henri Nelis, Laura Borrowdale, Dan Bain, and Karen Healey

Do or do not. There is no try. So no pressure there for the nerds to answer all of our mind melting questions about the Star Wars universe. Who can tell their Bith from their Bothans, their Rodians from their Rancors, and their Gungans from their Gundarks (this is a crucial distinction), their Wampas from their Womp Rats, their Mandalorians from their Midichlorians.

Featuring: Brendon Bennetts, Ben Allan, Moata Tamaira, Jennifer O'Sullivan, Jeff Clark, and Centuri Chan

Vampires! Whether you like them creepy and crawly or gorgeous and sparkly, soulless killing machines or tortured wanderers of the night, we've got the Nerd Degree for you. Sharpen your stakes as renowned vampire defender Karen Healey leads the nerds through the seductive realm of all things bloodsucker.

Featuring: Moata Tamaira, Brendon Bennetts, Andrew Todd, Laura Borrowdale, and Scott Koorey

In this geography-themed episode the worldly nerds will grab their passports and ask: where be dragons? They may be some latitude given in terms of their answers but whether they're climbing the Mountains of Madness, plumbing the depths of The Abyss or galloping across the Dothraki Sea, the nerds are Ghana have a good time.

Featuring: Erin Harrington, Ben Allan, Jeff Clark, Emma Cusdin, and Dan Bain

Do you have the guts to face your greatest fears? Can you handle the terror of four nerds bent on scaring up laughs from history's most frightening pop culture? Do you cower at the dreadful thought of horror trivia too obscure to even comprehend? The Nerd Degree will not be liable for fainting, seizures, or death caused by this show. Audience discretion advised!

Join the nerds as they become tomb raiders (of the lost ark) in an unsanctioned delve into all things archaeological. Can they escape deadly traps, treacherous guides, and pesky official government regulations about who actually owns the valuable antiquities of a sovereign nation to emerge with the fabled Golden Ankh of Comedic Respectability? Is it even possible to recover an ancient treasure without gunning down more people than Liam Neeson? And what's this tiger been eating down here this whole time, anyway? Finally, all of the fedora action you crave with none of the latterly-associated rubbish MRA stuff.

Featuring: Ben Allan, Karen Healey, Andrew Kepple, Erin Harrington, and Jeff Clark

The questions will be far from elementary for our Nerds who must use their little grey cells to piece together the fiendish clues host Laura Borrowdale has prepared for them. Tune in to find out which of these criminally underrated masterminds will prove they are the true detective.

Featuring: Andrew Kepple, Ben Allan, Brendon Bennetts, Andrew Todd, and Erin Harrington

Host Jeff Clark comes out of his cell to look at the world of animation - discussing everything from Anime to Animaniacs; My Little Pony to Bojack Horseman; or even that obscure cartoon show “The Simpsons”. These nerds will need to be quick on the draw - you’ll get Disney spells with all of their sketchy details!
