In this recommendations-filled episode, we discuss alternate history drama “For All Mankind” as well as off-the-wall dark comedy “The Baby”. We also bow down once again to the legendary Sir David Attenborough with the release of “Frozen Planet 2.” And as “Thor Love and Thunder” has now arrived on Disney Plus, Jon leads a spoilerific discussion about the Asgardian’s latest (mis)adventure.
Plus, it’s that time again where one our lovely nerds gets one of their “Shameful Gaps” heroically filled. One of us has never seen John Carpenter’s “The Thing” so recently watched it for the very first time, and is here to tell the pod world what they thought.

Our personal picks include Jon’s review of ‘Sandman’, a show he’s waited desperately for for over 30 years. Does it live up to his dreamy expectations?
Peter discusses ‘Prey’, Disney Plus’ ambitious Predator prequel, and Hazel enthuses about ‘Bad Sisters’, a Sharon Horgan-led comedy drama whodunnit series on Apple Plus.
Andy gets passionate about Netflix’s ‘Stay on Board: The Leo Baker Story’, and finally Dan asks us to lower our inhibitions and hear about Jermaine and his two Clements, in ‘Nude Tuesday’ – leave it to Dan to lower the tone….

Episode 61: Psychobabble
In a masterful and suspenseful episode, we discuss five of Hitchcock’s greatest film accomplishments. Join us as we dissect ‘Rear Window’, ‘Psycho’, ‘The Birds’, ‘Vertigo’ and ‘North by Northwest’ and see how they hold up today. We discuss the groundbreaking shots, the cameos, the treatment of women, behind the scenes factoids, the unique sets, and much more.
Before that, we have an eclectic bunch of international recommendations to help you through the 98th week of lockdown. Peter sings the praises of ‘Upload’, an odd comedy set in a digital heaven. Jon reviews ‘Border’, a dark Swedish fantasy drama which he tries his best to excite us about without spoilering!
Hazel talks about her second-favourite film podcast, ‘Film Stories’; a celebration of movie making. Then Dan, on behalf of his fiancée Amy, recommends the truly brilliant cookery/travel show ‘Somebody feed Phil’, the third season of which has just landed on Netflix. And finally Andy reviews ‘Woman at War’, an Icelandic comedy drama about an environmental activist who wants to become a mother.
Remember Nerds, drama is life with all the dull bits cut out.
