As if that wasn’t bad enough, just as you’re heading to your destination, the toilet backs up.

It’s lonely out in space. It’s lonelier when you’re a plant-loving hippy and the rest of the crew not only hate you, but they’re totally indifferent about soil, plants and wildlife. When you’re only friends are droids and plants, but you feel like the one man to save what’s left of the Earth, in the hope that one day, there might be trees, lakes and nature there once again.Today we trade the Nerdist Camp tent for a dome. So grab your watering can, load up the buggy, grab Huey, Dewey and Louis and

Have you ever worried about being scared by the ghosties, or grabbed by the ghoulies? Then today might be the chance you’ve been looking for to rip the covers off the mystery, or just stay away from that trap door.Ghost hunting has exploded in popularity over the last couple of decades, largely thanks to TV shows like Most Haunted, Ghost Adventures, and more recently countless YouTube and TikTok creators wandering around dark buildings with gadgets. But as the hobby has grown, so has the market for

Hello and welcome to Nerdist Camp.Today we look at an uplifting topic, and hopefully we’ll have a filling that’s not just a load of hot air. If you’ve ever been to an American Football game in the states, or grew up in the UK in the 70s, then you’ll know exactly what we mean. They’ve been the things of dreams, and the things of nightmares. They can be uplifting or a sign of dread. Some are luxurious and made for tourists, and some are completely functional. What is their continued appeal, and why do

Hello, and welcome to the first episode of season 2 of Nerdist Camp. We have a slight gear change this season as we head full on into 2026. This season we’re going to focus less on genres and overviews of topics we love, and we’re going to be taking a deeper dive into specific films, books, TV, music etc.Liked Thunderbirds, Stingray, Joe 90, and Captain Scarlet, but couldn’t get past the marionettes? Ever thought, those scale scene models are wasted on puppets, they should make a real

We all remember and know that feeling, not being able to get to sleep the night before due to the pure excitement, the nervousness, the anticipation. Will Santa get it right? Has he listened to what you said when you met him in the shopping centre, on the train, or at the local village hall? Did he read that letter, and did Bernard (head elf), put you on the naughty or nice list? How will he get them down the chimney, and what brand of mince pies does he prefer?So I hope you’re all listening, tucked

It’s Christmaaaaaaaaaas, well nearly. Yes it’s the run up to the silly season. Whether you’re of the religious persuasion or not, it’s still a time when there might be something interesting on telly, when you might get something you want, and will probably get things you don’t, when you can go “well tacky” with the decorations and completely get away with it and when you can over-eat and over-drink because, let’s face it, the diet is in January!So grab that box of pretzels, the matchmakers, after

Sometimes there's a film, a film that just chimes with you. Sometimes it's a low budget indie production, shot on a shoestring. Sometimes it's a triple A Hollywood production with a bigger marketing budget than it probably pulled back in release sales. Sometimes, just sometimes, it's that obscure film that you missed the first time around, but once you found it, you just can't live without it in your life.Yes, today we look at those films that are either so bad, that they're actually good, or are

Bunkers & The Cold War

2025/11/14

Some days, the news cycle alone makes a windowless concrete box 20 feet underground sound like a five-star spa. If I hear one more story about Putin's shirtless fishing trips, Trump’s latest bid to annex a golf course, or receive another passive-aggressive email from Heather in HR (“Just circling back”), I swear I’m digging a tunnel straight to my Cold War fallout bunker. Honestly, it’s starting to look like the only sane option. Give me 500 tins of baked beans, 300 cans of prunes in syrup (for that

As Halloween approaches, and we leave behind the 50th Anniversary of Spielberg’s two-note themed horror epic Jaws, we look at another director, one with many iconic horror films under his belt, and one who is not shy of using the two-note theme tune. A Director who has become synonymous with this time of year , but who has also taken us to outer planets as well. A director who is as well known for also creating the soundtracks to his films, as the films themselves. So get ready for Halloween, look

As we were building this episode, it took a while to find all the pieces. We knew what the finished thing should look like, but we had to lay all the components on the table and figure out if any pieces were missing. As we assembled the episode, it slowly snapped together. We may have been bricking it at one point, but eventually we could see it coming together and were glad we paid the price. Now everything is awesome.If you haven't guessed already, today we're talking about Denmark’s biggest

Heist Movies

Today, we’re planning a score of our own. Every good heist story starts with assembling the team — and lucky for you, we’ve got just the right mix of brains, charm, and ok, maybe a touch of chaos. We’ll walk through the meticulous rehearsal, the nail-biting nerves before the job, and that perfect moment when everything clicks like clockwork… until it doesn’t. Because in every great heist film, there’s always a spanner in the works. Will we get away clean, sipping cocktails on a beach somewhere? Or

The Promise of Space

In the 50s with the launch of Sputnik 1, we saw the birth of a new era of optimism, with the promise of a new frontier for exploration, re-population and adventure. A chance to move out from the bounds of the Earth and to explore new territories with abundant and plentiful resources, to colonise new planets and moons and to take man further than he had ever been before. The 60s saw the presence of man in space, and in 69 a man would set foot on the moon.In this episode, we look at the optimism of
