All Nerd & Tie Network Podcasts

We make a bunch of podcasts at Nerd & Tie, we know it’s hard to keep up with all of them. So, with that in mind, we’ve decided to make a feed of all of them (well minus two)!

Strum your sitar and prepare to launch all Eagles as Miles and Charlie once more become the Space Scamps as they make a second trip to the moon for three more episodes of Gerry Anderson’s ‘Event Horizon meets Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace’ show Space 1999. Miles is now worried he has created a monster by showing Charlie this show, and in doing so they get to talk about psychedelic trippiness and Kano’s obsession with Computer in ‘Black Sun,’ Christopher Lee (although he’s totally phoning it in) and the dispatch of a weaselly middle manager in ‘Earthbound,’ and then with ‘The Troubled Spirit’ Halloween comes a little early and it’s probably more spooky than whatever we’ll end up doing for our Halloween episode…

EPISODES DISCUSSED:
00:11:32 Black Sun
00:34:20 Earthbound
00:58:40 The Troubled Spirit

Talking Points Include: More Space 1999, Death Stranding, a trip to Scotland, the science is impossible, Moon Base Alpha’s limited resources, British Pessimism vs. American Gung-Ho, Gene Roddenberry would never, Hard SF has a tendency to go full magic weirdness, Bohemian Rhapsody deserves it’s rep, Christopher Lee is phoning it in, Simmons is the David Brent in Space, cowardly heroes, our brave explorers enjoying shouting MMMMUUUUUUUUTAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNT like in ‘Mission of the Darians,’ Charlie repeats a Johnny Byrne joke from the last episode, awesome sitar music this is the most Halloween episode we’ve done for the show, a wicked burn from Charlie’s old teacher Mr. Jafferji, is Moonbase Alpha a liminal space? M. Night Shyamalan films and surprisingly… some Star Trek.
