    Nerd To Know Basis #285 🤓: Malcolm in the Middle Returns, Predator Reigns & Why Akira Still Breaks People's Brains

    📅 Air Date: 01-05-26 📻 Broadcast on Phoenix 92.5 FM This week on Nerd To Know Basis, Darragh and Cian dive into one of the most nostalgia-filled television returns of recent years as Malcolm in the Middle makes its long-awaited comeback. The pair break down Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair, discussing whether the revival successfully captures the magic of the original series, how the characters have evolved over the last twenty years, and why the show's unique blend of comedy, heart, and chaos still works today. The conversation expands into a wider look at sitcoms and television comedy, exploring how Malcolm helped change the landscape of TV comedy, the legacy of shows like Scrubs and Modern Family, and why some classic sitcoms have aged better than others. We also take a look at Channel 4's Big Mood, starring Nicola Coughlan, examining how modern comedy-drama continues to evolve by tackling difficult subjects such as mental health, grief, and friendship while still delivering genuine laughs. Things then take a turn towards science fiction and action as we review Predator: Badlands and discuss why the Predator franchise may currently be in better shape than Alien. From new interpretations of the Yautja culture to creative storytelling choices, we explore why these recent entries are winning over longtime fans. Finally, the show's growing YouTube community takes centre stage as we read listener comments from our recent Akira discussion, leading to a fascinating debate about one of anime's most influential and misunderstood films. 🎧 Nostalgia, science fiction, television history, Predator action, and anime philosophy — exactly the kind of madness you'd expect from Nerd To Know Basis. ▶️ YouTube Chapters (Short & Punchy) 00:00 Show Intro 01:00 Darragh's Hockey Obsession Continues 05:30 Malcolm in the Middle Returns 12:00 Why Malcolm Changed TV Comedy 18:30 Legacy Sequels Done Right 24:00 Big Mood Review 30:30 Modern Comedy & Mental Health 35:30 Predator: Badlands Review 42:00 Why Predator Is Thriving Again 46:30 Predator: Killer of Killers Discussion 50:00 Akira Listener Mailbag 55:00 Why Akira Still Confuses Everyone 59:00 Final Thoughts & Plugs 🎧 Spotify Timestamps 00:00 Phoenix FM opening and introductions 01:00 Hockey playoffs and growing popularity 05:30 Malcolm in the Middle revival discussion 12:00 The legacy of Malcolm and sitcom evolution 18:30 Legacy sequels and storytelling done right 24:00 Big Mood review and Channel 4 comedy 30:30 Comedy, grief and mental health themes 35:30 Predator: Badlands review 42:00 The current state of the Predator franchise 46:30 Predator: Killer of Killers discussion 50:00 YouTube comments and Akira reactions 55:00 Why Akira remains influential today 59:00 Closing thoughts and show wrap-up 🔗 Follow & Support 🌐 Website: Nerd To Know Media 📺 YouTube: Nerd To Know Media YouTube Channel 🐦 Darragh on X: @darraghwv 📻 Listen every week on Phoenix 92.5 FM #NerdToKnowBasis #MalcolmInTheMiddle #PredatorBadlands #Predator #Akira #BigMood #TVReview #SciFi #Animation #Channel4 #DisneyPlus #Podcast #PhoenixFM #NerdToKnowMedia #MovieReview #TVPodcast

    Nerd To Know Basis #284 🤓 Cinema Chaos, Irish Horror Hits & Star Wars Shadows

    📅 Air Date: 26-04-26 📻 Broadcast on Phoenix 92.5 FM This week on Nerd To Know Basis, Darragh and Cian cover a packed week of cinema, streaming, and sci-fi — with everything from disappointing reboots to genuinely terrifying horror and a return to anime greatness. We kick things off with an unexpected deep dive into Ireland’s growing ice hockey craze, and what it could mean for the future of sports and live entertainment in the country. From there, Darragh breaks down a huge week at the cinema, starting with a brutally honest review of The Mummy, which fails to deliver on its premise and leans too heavily into unfocused possession horror. In contrast, They Will Kill You delivers chaotic, gory fun with strong performances and clear world-building that actually works. Things take a darker turn with Undertone, a minimalist horror built around podcasting and sound design that proves you don’t need big visuals to create real fear. It’s easily one of the most effective horror experiences discussed on the show in years. We also revisit Akira on the big screen, celebrating its legacy as one of the most influential anime films ever made — even if it remains as mysterious and mind-bending as ever. Plus, we preview upcoming Irish horror Hokum, discuss the challenges of modern horror storytelling, and dive into the latest Star Wars series, exploring its darker tone, grounded storytelling, and how it fits into the evolving direction of the franchise. 🎧 Honest reviews, deep dives, and a mix of chaos and insight you won’t want to miss. ▶️ YouTube Chapters (Short & Punchy) 00:00 Nerd To Know Basis Intro 01:00 Ireland’s Ice Hockey Boom 06:30 Why Ireland Needs a Rink 10:30 Cinema Binge Week Begins 14:00 The Mummy Review – What Went Wrong 20:30 Modern Horror Problems 25:00 They Will Kill You Review 31:00 Why World-Building Matters 35:00 Undertone – The Scariest Film of the Year? 42:00 Horror Through Sound Design 46:30 Akira Rewatch on the Big Screen 52:00 Why Akira Still Matters 56:00 Irish Horror Spotlight – Hokum 59:00 Star Wars: Darker Direction 01:03:00 Final Thoughts 🎧 Spotify Timestamps 00:00 Show intro and Phoenix FM opening 01:00 Ice hockey discussion and Irish growth 06:30 Arena potential and missed opportunities 10:30 Dara’s cinema binge overview 14:00 The Mummy review and criticism 20:30 Issues with modern horror films 25:00 They Will Kill You breakdown 31:00 Importance of strong world-building 35:00 Undertone review and analysis 42:00 Sound design in horror discussion 46:30 Akira cinema experience 52:00 Anime influence and legacy 56:00 Hokum preview and Irish horror 59:00 Star Wars series discussion 01:03:00 Closing thoughts and plugs 🔗 Follow & Support 🌐 Website: nerdtoknowmedia.com 🐦 Darragh on X: @darraghwv 🎥 YouTube: Nerd To Know Media #NerdToKnowBasis #MoviePodcast #FilmReview #HorrorMovies #Akira #StarWars #Podcast #IrishPodcast #Cinema

    The Wrestling Rewind #223 🎙️: WrestleMania 42 Fallout, WWE Releases Chaos & TKO Creative Crisis

    📅 Air Date: 27-04-26 📻 Broadcast on Phoenix 92.5 FM This week on The Wrestling Rewind, Dara and Christopher break down one of the most chaotic weeks in modern wrestling — as WrestleMania 42 leaves fans frustrated, confused, and searching for answers. We dive straight into a brutally honest review of WrestleMania, with Night One being labelled one of the worst in recent memory, while Night Two manages to recover slightly with stronger in-ring performances. From questionable celebrity involvement to inconsistent storytelling, we discuss how WWE’s biggest show of the year feels like it’s losing its identity. A major talking point is the growing influence of TKO Group Holdings on WWE creative, with reports suggesting increased executive interference. We debate whether this shift is behind the decline in match quality, strange booking decisions, and the over-reliance on viral moments instead of meaningful storytelling. The episode also unfolds in real time as a massive wave of WWE releases hits during recording. Names like Bo Dallas, Nikki Cross, Kairi Sane, and the Motor City Machine Guns are among those let go, sparking discussion about WWE’s direction, talent management, and where these wrestlers could land next — including potential moves to All Elite Wrestling or Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. We also cover standout moments from the weekend, including the return of the Demon persona for Finn Bálor, the chaotic Cody Rhodes vs Randy Orton main event, and a huge statement victory for Oba Femi over Brock Lesnar that could signal a major changing of the guard. Despite the frustration, we stick to our core mission — finding the positives in wrestling, even when the industry makes it difficult. 🎧 Honest opinions, real-time reactions, and a WrestleMania fallout you won’t want to miss. ▶️ YouTube Chapters (Short & Punchy) 00:00 The Wrestling Rewind Intro 01:00 WrestleMania Hangover Begins 03:30 WrestleMania Food Prices & Live Experience 06:30 WWE Releases Begin (Breaking News) 10:30 Wyatt Six Fallout Discussion 14:00 TKO Creative Control Debate 18:30 Celebrity Involvement Problem 23:00 Night One Review – A Disaster 28:30 Paige Return & Women’s Tag Controversy 32:30 More WWE Releases (Live Updates) 36:00 Cody Rhodes vs Randy Orton Breakdown 41:30 Why the Main Event Failed 45:00 Night Two Highlights & Ladder Match 49:00 Finn Bálor Demon Return 52:30 Brock Lesnar vs Oba Femi Shock Result 56:00 More Releases Reaction & Industry Impact 59:30 Final Thoughts 🎧 Spotify Timestamps 00:00 Show intro and Phoenix FM opening 01:00 WrestleMania weekend reactions 03:30 Live event pricing and fan experience 06:30 WWE releases discussion begins 10:30 Wyatt Six and booking issues 14:00 TKO’s role in WWE creative 18:30 Celebrity appearances in wrestling 23:00 WrestleMania Night One review 28:30 Women’s tag title controversy 32:30 Ongoing release updates 36:00 Cody Rhodes vs Randy Orton analysis 41:30 Main event criticism 45:00 Night Two improvements 49:00 Finn Bálor Demon return discussion 52:30 Oba Femi vs Brock Lesnar fallout 56:00 Impact of WWE releases on industry 59:30 Closing thoughts and plugs 🔗 Follow & Support 🎙 Christopher's Podcast: The Josh Zodiac Podcast YouTube: youtube.com/@THEJoshZodiacPodcast TikTok: tiktok.com/@thejoshzodiacpodcast X: x.com/joshzodiacpod 🐦 Darragh on X: @darraghwv 🌐 Website: nerdtoknowmedia.com #TheWrestlingRewind #WrestlingPodcast #WWE #WrestleMania42 #CMPunk #RomanReigns #CodyRhodes #FinnBalor #AEW #TNA #ProWrestling

    The Wrestling Rewind #222 🎙️: WrestleMania 32 Review | Spectacle vs Reality

    WrestleMania 32 Review – Spectacle vs Reality 📅 Air Date: 21-04-26 This week on The Wrestling Rewind, we jump back to 2016 to break down one of the most spectacular yet exhausting WrestleManias ever — WrestleMania 32. With over 80,000 fans packed into AT&T Stadium, the show looked incredible… but did it actually deliver where it mattered? We dig into the huge gap between live experience and watching it back, with Christopher sharing what it was like inside the building — and why being there might be the only way this show truly works. From a standout Intercontinental Ladder Match, to the divisive Shane McMahon vs The Undertaker Hell in a Cell, and a main event many fans would rather forget, this is a WrestleMania defined by moments… not matches. We also get into: Why Zack Ryder’s big moment didn’t last The rise of Charlotte Flair and the future of the women’s division Why AJ Styles vs Chris Jericho quietly stole the show The disaster of Brock Lesnar vs Dean Ambrose And how legends like The Rock and John Cena should actually be used at WrestleMania Plus, we talk about how this show feels trapped in its era thanks to the heavy push of the WWE Network — and why it hasn’t aged well compared to true classics. ▶️ YouTube Chapters 00:00 – Intro & Time Machine Back to 2016 02:30 – The Spectacle of WrestleMania 32 06:00 – Being There Live vs Watching Back 10:30 – Ladder Match Steals the Show 14:30 – Zack Ryder’s Moment Ruined 18:00 – Women’s Triple Threat Debate 23:00 – Lesnar vs Ambrose Disaster 27:30 – Hell in a Cell: One Spot Match 34:30 – Shane’s Jump & Crowd Reaction 38:30 – AJ Styles vs Chris Jericho 42:30 – League of Nations & Legends Segment 46:00 – Rock & Cena Done Right 50:30 – Why This Show Feels Dated 55:00 – Final Ratings & Verdict 🎧 Spotify-Formatted Timestamps 00:00 Intro and WrestleMania 32 overview 02:30 The scale and spectacle of the event 06:00 Live crowd experience vs rewatch value 10:30 Intercontinental ladder match breakdown 14:30 Zack Ryder’s short-lived title win 18:00 Women’s triple threat and Charlotte’s win 23:00 Brock Lesnar vs Dean Ambrose review 27:30 Undertaker vs Shane McMahon build and issues 34:30 The Hell in a Cell spot and aftermath 38:30 AJ Styles vs Chris Jericho analysis 42:30 League of Nations and legends segment 46:00 The Rock and John Cena segment 50:30 WWE Network era dating the show 55:00 Final thoughts and rating 🔗 Follow & Support 🎙 Christopher's Podcast: The Josh Zodiac Podcast YouTube: youtube.com/@THEJoshZodiacPodcast TikTok: tiktok.com/@thejoshzodiacpodcast X: x.com/joshzodiacpod 🐦 Darragh on X: @darraghwv 🌐 Website: nerdtoknowmedia.com #TheWrestlingRewind #WrestleMania32 #WWE #AJStyles #Undertaker #ShaneMcMahon #JohnCena #TheRock #WrestlingPodcast

    The Wrestling Rewind #221 🎙️: WrestleMania 42 Chaos, AEW Own Goals & Paige Returns

    📅 Air Date: 21-04-26 This week on The Wrestling Rewind, we are right in the middle of WrestleMania chaos, recording just hours before Night One kicks off. The big question: can WrestleMania 42 actually deliver after one of the messiest builds in recent memory? We break down the full card, why Night One feels like filler, and why Night Two might have to do all the heavy lifting. From CM Punk vs Roman Reigns to concerns around Cody Rhodes, Gunther, and the overall direction of WWE creative, nothing is off limits. We also dive into the shocking reported WWE return of Paige, what it means for the women’s division, and whether this is a nostalgia play or a genuine long-term move. Over in AEW, we talk one of the most baffling booking decisions in recent memory, as Kenny Omega, MJF, and Darby Allin collide in a finish that left fans stunned for all the wrong reasons. Plus: Chris Jericho’s latest reinvention TNA building momentum again with the return of Lockdown And why every major company somehow had a chaotic week 🎧 Honest, opinionated wrestling talk as always. ▶️ YouTube Chapters (Short & Punchy) 00:00 – WrestleMania Weekend Chaos 02:30 – WWE Build Feels Broken 05:40 – Paige WWE Return Reaction 09:30 – Women’s Division Direction 12:30 – Chris Jericho’s New Gimmick 16:30 – AEW Own Goal Booking 20:40 – MJF, Omega & Darby Debate 24:30 – Why AEW Gets in Its Own Way 28:00 – TNA Rebellion Fallout 31:00 – Lockdown Returns Explained 34:30 – WrestleMania 42 Night One Preview 39:00 – Matches Nobody Cares About 43:30 – Night One Predictions 48:30 – Night Two Feels Like the Real Show 52:00 – Oba Femi vs Brock Lesnar 54:11:00 Final thoughts and expectations 🎧 Spotify-Formatted Timestamps 00:00 Intro and WrestleMania weekend chaos 02:30 WWE build issues heading into WrestleMania 42 05:40 Paige reportedly returning to WWE 09:30 Women’s division direction and future stars 12:30 Chris Jericho’s new AEW character 16:30 AEW booking criticism and recent decisions 20:40 MJF vs Kenny Omega vs Darby Allin fallout 24:30 Why AEW keeps hurting its own momentum 28:00 TNA Rebellion review and key takeaways 31:00 Lockdown returning and what it means 34:30 WrestleMania 42 Night One preview 39:00 Weak matches and lack of interest 43:30 Night One predictions 48:30 Why Night Two feels more important 52:00 Oba Femi vs Brock Lesnar discussion 54:11:00 Final thoughts and expectations 🔗 Follow & Support 🎙 Christopher's Podcast: The Josh Zodiac Podcast YouTube: youtube.com/@THEJoshZodiacPodcast TikTok: tiktok.com/@thejoshzodiacpodcast X: x.com/joshzodiacpod 🐦 Darragh on X: @darraghwv 🌐 Website: nerdtoknowmedia.com #TheWrestlingRewind #WrestleMania42 #WWE #AEW #TNA #CMPunk #RomanReigns #Paige #ProWrestling #WrestlingPodcast

    The Wrestling Rewind #220 : 🎙Pat McAfee Chaos, Punk’s Pipebomb & WrestleMania IX Disaster

    📅 Air Date: 24-04-26 📻 Broadcast on Phoenix 92.5 FM This week on The Wrestling Rewind, Darragh and Christopher dive headfirst into one of the most chaotic weeks on the road to WrestleMania — and somehow, it all gets even messier. We kick things off with the biggest talking point in wrestling right now: Pat McAfee’s shocking heel turn and alignment with Randy Orton. Is this a bold new direction or a completely misjudged move driven by corporate influence? The lads break down the backlash, the rushed storytelling, and why fans are already turning on the angle. From there, we get into CM Punk’s explosive pipebomb promo on Raw, taking aim at McAfee, Roman Reigns, and the state of WWE itself. Did Punk just save the storyline — or expose even more cracks in the build? We also dig into the ongoing issues with Cody Rhodes as champion, the lack of clear direction heading into WrestleMania, and the growing feeling that creative decisions are being made on the fly. Plus, discussion on ticket price backlash and why WrestleMania might not be the guaranteed sellout it once was. Over in TNA, there’s a refreshing dose of chaos done right — with the return of Abyss, the eerie presence of Father James Mitchell, and a renewed focus on character-driven storytelling. But not everything is smooth sailing, as reports emerge of talent being pulled from AEW crossover events during WrestleMania weekend. Finally, we jump into the Time Machine for a painful revisit of WrestleMania IX — the infamous “toga party” in Las Vegas. From The Undertaker vs Giant Gonzalez to Hulk Hogan’s baffling last-minute title win, it’s a reminder that things can always be worse… somehow. 🎧 Real talk, strong opinions, and a look at wrestling’s past and present colliding in the wildest ways. ▶️ YouTube Chapters (Short & Punchy) 00:00 Wrestling Rewind Intro 00:55 Chaos Week in Wrestling 02:30 Pat McAfee Heel Turn Reaction 07:00 Corporate Influence in WWE? 11:30 CM Punk Pipebomb Returns 16:00 Punk vs McAfee & Roman Reigns 20:00 Cody Rhodes Problems Continue 24:00 WrestleMania Build Falling Flat 28:00 Ticket Price Backlash 31:30 TNA’s Spooky Comeback (Abyss Returns) 35:00 TNA vs AEW Crossover Issues 39:00 Too Much Wrestling? 42:00 Time Machine – WrestleMania IX 44:00 The Toga Party Disaster 46:00 Undertaker vs Giant Gonzalez 47:30 Hogan’s Infamous Title Win 49:00 Final Thoughts 🎧 Spotify Timestamps 00:00 Show intro and Phoenix FM opening 00:55 Chaotic week overview 02:30 Pat McAfee heel turn discussion 07:00 TKO influence and creative direction 11:30 CM Punk pipebomb promo breakdown 16:00 Punk targeting McAfee and Reigns 20:00 Cody Rhodes booking issues 24:00 WrestleMania build concerns 28:00 Ticket pricing backlash 31:30 TNA creative highlights and Abyss return 35:00 TNA/AEW crossover complications 39:00 Wrestling overload discussion 42:00 Time Machine: WrestleMania IX 44:00 Las Vegas “toga party” setting 46:00 Undertaker vs Giant Gonzalez 47:30 Hulk Hogan title controversy 49:00 Closing thoughts and plugs 🔗 Follow & Support 🎙 Christopher’s Podcast: The Josh Zodiac Podcast YouTube: youtube.com/@THEJoshZodiacPodcast TikTok: tiktok.com/@thejoshzodiacpodcast X: x.com/joshzodiacpod 🐦 Darragh on X: @darraghwv 🌐 Website: nerdtoknowmedia.com #TheWrestlingRewind #WWE #AEW #TNA #WrestleMania #CMPunk #PatMcAfee #CodyRhodes #RandyOrton #Undertaker #WrestleManiaIX #WrestlingPodcast

    Spider-Man Hype, Movie Surprises & Theme Park Rants 📅 Air Date: 31-03-26 📻 Broadcast on Phoenix 92.5 FM This week’s Nerd To Know Basis Show is a packed, globe-trotting episode as Dara checks in from Edinburgh (with a working mic this time 🎤), and the lads dive headfirst into a surprisingly stacked movie week—plus some passionate (and slightly chaotic) theme park world-building. 🎬 Movie Round-Up Highlights 🧟‍♀️ The Bride A bold, messy, but intriguing reimagining of the Frankenstein mythos. Directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal and starring Christian Bale, it swings big with style and ideas—even if it doesn’t always stick the landing. 💰 How to Make a Killing A slick, old-school-feeling crime story led by Glen Powell, packed with standout supporting turns (including a scene-stealing cameo from Topher Grace). Think classic cinema vibes with a modern edge. 🚀 Project Hail Mary From the minds behind The Martian and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs—and starring Ryan Gosling—this sci-fi adventure mixes high-stakes extinction with unexpected charm. Not quite what the trailers promised, but a heartfelt, oddball ride. 🕸️ Spider-Man Trailer Talk The big headline this week: a fresh look at the next Spider-Man film—and there’s real excitement. A more mature Peter Parker, post-Spider-Man: No Way Home Street-level stakes (finally!) Teases of The Punisher, Daredevil, and ninja chaos Less multiverse spectacle, more actual Spider-Man storytelling Verdict: cautious optimism… but genuine hype. 🎢 Bonus Tangent of the Week The lads revisit the bizarre “K-pop Forever” live show controversy in Ireland Dara pitches (again 😅) a full-on Imperial experience in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge Key takeaway: Disney is leaving money on the table—and someone needs to arrest Chewbacca already 💬 Final Thoughts A refreshing week of non-franchise movies (mostly), big swings in storytelling, and a reminder that sometimes you just want a solid “movie movie.” Plus… yeah, okay… we’re all still going to see Spider-Man. 🎥 YouTube Chapters 00:00 – Intro & Show Setup 00:30 – Dara in Edinburgh (AI Conference + Setup Struggles) 01:15 – Spider-Man Trailer Buzz (First Reactions Tease) 01:47 – K-Pop Forever Controversy Follow-Up 03:13 – Willy Wonka Experience & “The Unknown” Rant 04:24 – Disney Parks, Star Wars & Galaxy’s Edge Discussion 07:52 – Theme Park Pricing & Missed Opportunities 08:19 – Imperial Fantasy: Let the Empire Win?! 12:06 – Star Tours & Replayability in Theme Parks 15:18 – Wrapping the Disney Rant 17:31 – Movie Section Begins 17:44 – The Bride Review (Christian Bale, Style vs Story) 24:28 – Strengths & Weaknesses of The Bride 29:11 – How to Make a Killing Review (Glen Powell) 33:16 – “Movie Movies” vs Modern Cinema 35:15 – Project Hail Mary Review (Ryan Gosling) 40:47 – Tone Clash: Serious Sci-Fi vs Goofy Charm 43:56 – Are Mid-Budget Movies Back? 45:01 – Spider-Man Trailer Deep Dive 48:31 – MCU Direction & Future Concerns 52:33 – Marvel Fatigue & Quality Control 55:02 – Young Avengers Problem 55:54 – Outro & YouTube Plug 🎧 Spotify Chapters 00:00 Intro 00:30 Edinburgh Check-In 01:47 K-Pop Show Follow-Up 03:13 Willy Wonka Experience Talk 04:24 Disney & Star Wars Parks Discussion 08:19 Imperial Theme Park Ideas 12:06 Star Tours & Replayability 17:31 Movie Reviews Begin 17:44 The Bride Review 29:11 How to Make a Killing Review 35:15 Project Hail Mary Review 43:56 State of Cinema Discussion 45:01 Spider-Man Trailer Breakdown 52:33 MCU Future Talk 55:54 Outro #NerdToKnowBasis #MoviePodcast #FilmDiscussion #SpiderMan #Marvel #MCU #ProjectHailMary #TheBride #GlenPowell #RyanGosling #ChristianBale #CinemaTalk #FilmReview #MovieNews #PodcastClips #YouTubePodcast #GeekCulture #PopCulture #MarvelFans #SpiderManTrailer #FilmCommunity #NewMovies #Cinema2026 #MovieBreakdown #EntertainmentPodcast
