The Nerva Beacon Podcast - Episode 42: Mysterio Chrimblemas

Our last episode of 2020 concerns one of the Christmas specials that seems to get short shrift, and we don't really know why here at the Nerva Beacon - all the way back from 2016 it's The Return of Doctor Mysterio! Steven Moffat's take on superheroes, this was where we learned that Nardole was now the Doctor's companion, AND that the Doctor himself was partly responsible for the creation of the world's premier superhero, the Ghost!

Thanks as always for listening, and have a safe and Happy New Year if you can, right?

Episode 435 - Christmas and Hogmanay 1988 with the Bordersdude!

It's the odd period of time between Christmas and New Year, so what better time to spend it listening about Christmases past, especially 1988, with John the Bordersdude! As he's from Scotland, why don't we throw in a bit of Hogmanay whilst we're at it?

Have a very happy and safe New Year gang, and here's hoping 2021 is a way better year than 2020. The bar is astonishingly low.

Justice For All: Episode 8 - The Triumphant Return

We're back - yes it's been a while, but Justice For All is back with you. In this first episode back it's all about catching up, with DC comics, movies, TV shows, and various other media!

Yes, we also talk about Marvel's New Warriors. How could we not?

Episode 400 - Man AND Machine!

It's episode 400! And I wish that the circumstances of that were better than they are right now, because it's weird out there right now. But Back to the Eighties will be going for the duration, so stay tuned!

This week sees myself and John "Bordersdude" Grieve take on a subject often neglected here, that of the Centurions, those men and machines that, when combined, become power EXTREME!

The Nerva Beacon Podcast - Episode 31: Doctor Who And The Dinopeoples

Leigh and Glenn are taking a look at the Third Doctor's second ever story in this episode, "Doctor Who And The Silurians" - so get ready for action, adventure, reptile people with limited peripheral vision, and the Doctor trolling petty bureaucrats!

The blueprint for his whole era, you might say. We love it.

Episode 399 - Sanic Panic

Rejoice all, as Jenny from World of Crap is back to grace our lugholes, but wait - there'a a twist! She brings with her fanfiction of the Sonic the Hedgehog kind, to warp our brains and confuse our souls.

Needless to say, we're only poking gentle fun at the efforts of these would-be writers, at least they're being creative, right? Also, this episode is most definitely NSFW. Like you wouldn't BELIEVE.

Episode 398 - Horrorific 80s!

We have a brand new guest joining us this week, all the way from that there Canada! Mandy from Little Geek Lost drops in to talk all about one of her specialist subjects, that of 80's horror.

There's also some UK/Canada crossover, with some inevitable Degrassi talk, and also that weird Huckleberry Finn series...

The Nerva Beacon Podcast - Episode 30: You Gotta Have Faith

It's Nerva Beacon time tonight, and to mark the passing of the late, great Nicholas Parsons, Leigh and Glenn take a look at a piece of JNT's stunt casting that backfired in a rather lovely way, as we brave the Curse of Fenric.

We also have a quick look at how season 12 was going at time of recording, of course, and set ourselves up for the season finale - which now we all know about, and we'll take a look at that next time...

Episode 397: 10th Anniversary Episode Part 2

Well, that's it - we're 10 years old! For a decade we've been telling you all how great the Eighties were, and sharing all our memories of the Best Decade Ever.

And joining us on this very special show is  the guy whose idea it was in the first place: The Mighty Jer Bear is back!

Join us please, as two middle-aged men who should know better discuss just how much better it is now for us nostalgia geeks in 2020, than it was in 2010...

Thanks for listening, and here's to the next 10 years!

Episode 396: 10th Anniversary Episode Part 1

Well, that went by quickly. It's been almost 10 years since the very first Back to the Eighties episode, and that's something we should definitely celebrate!

In this first Very Special Episode, Phil comes back to co-host! We'll talk about nerdy 80's stuff, and also how the nerd landscape has changed over the last ten years - basically, we've never had it so good!

Episode 395: The Candyman Can

Amy and Kirsty are back to tell us all about a creepy urban legend of a man who, if you say his name five times in a mirror, comes back and kills you dead! It's Tony Todd - well, a the character he plays ate least in the 1992 horror classic, Candyman!

Joins us...if you dare.

Episode 394: Duncan in a Half Shell

It's time to check in on an eighties franchise we do sometimes neglect - the Teenage Mutant Ninja (Hero) Turtles! And joining us for the first time in a little while, it's the co-host with the co-most from Podcast in a Half Shell, Duncan Sparrow!

Join us for some Turtle talk about everything to do with the Green Machine, along with some choice Turtley Tangents!

Episode 393: Brad And Glenn Love The Rise Of Skywalker

It's been out a while now, so it's probably safe to start talking about the latest Star Wars movie and the climax (for now) of the whole Skywalker Saga! Needless to say, if you HAVEN'T watched the movie yet, here be spoilers.

Marvel as Brad and Glenn stay true to form and be the most uncritical Star Wars fans EVER.

Also, we talk some about The Mandalorian, and how much we want a Mayfield spin-off series. And also one about Babu Frik.

The Nerva Beacon Podcast - Episode 29: Don't Go Up In The Attic!

It's off to the Roaring Twenties in this episode, as Leigh and Glenn take a look at one of the historicals of the JNT era, as the Doctor and his companions take part in a mystery involving intrigue, danger, mistaken identity and...cricket. It's Black Orchid, everybody!

They also review the first two episodes of season 12 - are they any good?

Episode 392: A New Hope Appears!

It's our first episode proper of 2020, and we start off with a movie that wasn't out in the Eighties, but it certainly shaped the decade to come. We called it Star Wars, but now it's Episode IV: A New Hope!

So please join Andy from the Smorgaspod and myself, as we try to explain just why this (and the Star Wars franchise as a whole) was so important to us when we were growing up.
