Back To The Eighties

It's finally here! The long-awaited Snyder Cut has come out against all the odds and is available to watch, so we watched it! Now, what did we think of it? Join Amy, Dave and Glenn as they pick apart some of the main differences between Zack Snyder's version of the movie that Joss Whedon originally had a crack at, and discuss why it was ultimately important that it was made in the first place.

The lovely Wil Hodgson is back with us again, to go on another nostalgic ramble through the 80s. What will we find this time, in those dusty and forgotten parts of our minds? Join us to find out! Back to the Eighties @ Twitter: @BTTEPOD Back to the 80's on Facebook: facebook.com/bttepod

We're all off back to November 1993 this week, as Leigh and Glenn take a look at one of the more divisive episodes of Doctor Who, the Children in Need charity adventure set in Albert Square, Dimensions in Time! We also take a look at some of the recent Who news, and Jen returns with another WHOpinion, obviously DIT-themed. In fact, let's be honest, this whole episode is dedicated to Jen and her immense love for this story!

In our last foray into the Nineties for a while, we're joined by comedian and all round lovely person Abby Denton, for an insight into what it was like in the USA during the Nineties, because, as luck would have it, she's American! Fancy that. Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch also gets said quite a bit. JOIN US.

Amy, Dave and Glenn are back to talk about some DC Comics, and this time they're discussing the upcoming Superman and Lois (not yet seen in the UK!) and also Zack Snyder's Justice League, and their various excitement levels for them! There's also the usual comic book nerdery, so please JOIN US! Justice For All on Twitter: @JFAPOD Justice For All on Facebook: facebook.com/jfapod

We're welcoming someone new this week - all the way from Sonic The Comic The Podcast, it's the very lovely Dave Bulmer! He's here to talk about the Mr Men, and a musical he documented himself in the late Eighties, in an exercise book he was given at a birthday party - but we'll get to that. If you're a Mr Men fan, you definitely need to join us this week! Back to the Eighties @ Twitter: @BTTEPOD Back to the 80's on Facebook: facebook.com/bttepod  

Wil Hodgson's back again, and this time we're off on a nostalgic ramble through the Nineties for Nineties month - it's replete with Spice Girls, Channel 5, comics and cartoons and all the other nostalgic goodness you've come to expect! So pull up a pew, grab a cuppa, and enjoy! Back to the Eighties @ Twitter: @BTTEPOD Back to the 80's on Facebook: facebook.com/bttepod

Nineties month continues, and John aka the Bordersdude is back with us again, this time to talk about his experiences of the Nineties - expect lots of video games talk, as well as all of the pop culture that was around in that most full and neon of decades! Join us! Back to the Eighties @ Twitter: @BTTEPOD Back to the 80's on Facebook: facebook.com/bttepod

Duncan from Stacebob and the Dweebs joins us again this week to talk about what he got up to in the Nineties - the music, movies, TV shows and video games that made him the way he is. Which might explain a lot, to be honest. Back to the Eighties @ Twitter: @BTTEPOD Back to the 80's on Facebook: facebook.com/bttepod

It's all about the video games this week, as we're joined by the wonderful TimmusTSET to talk some Nineties videogaming, including not only the systems and consoles of the time, but also what we were playing down the arcades of a Saturday afternoon! Back to the Eighties @ Twitter: @BTTEPOD Back to the 80's on Facebook: facebook.com/bttepod

We're kicking off Nineties month and kicking it off LARGE with one of the biggest franchises ever in videogaming or otherwise, from Nintendo it's the mighty Pokémon! Pokémon experts Kirsty and Amy join me to talk about how, as kids of the Nineties themselves, the discovered the pocket monsters and what their memories are. Now...PREPARE FOR TROUBLE!

It's time for another special guest to the Beacon, and this time it's actor, podcaster and Whotuber Adam Martyn who pays us a visit to talk about what Leigh and Glenn talked about last week, K9 & Company! Adam doesn't see this through the lens of rose-tinted nostalgia though, so how will his opinions differ to the two ancient relics from last week? Tune in to find out!

New Year, new Transformers comics! And a new beginning in a very real sense, as we finally get to some original Marvel UK TF content in the form of the very first UK-only story, Man of Iron! Join Andy from the Smorgaspod and myself as we go through the UK's premier transforming robots comic of the 80s!

In the first of two episodes covering the 1981 Doctor Who spin-off K-9 & Company, Leigh and Glenn sit down to have a bit of a natter about it, and see if it's aged like a fine wine, or if it's a bit of a tin dog egg? Next time, WhoTuber Adam Martyn does the same, but from the perspective of someone who didn't see it at the time...

Phil joins us for the first time in a little while, to talk about all of the TV programmes announced at the Disney investor's meeting late last year - basically the wishlist of every 80's kid, and all of the Star Wars and Marvel content we could have ever wanted! Back to the Eighties @ Twitter: @BTTEPOD Back to the 80's on Facebook: facebook.com/bttepod

Join Dave, Amy and Glenn as they go through their favourite DC Event comics, and see if there's any "crossovers" between them! NOTE: this episode was recorded before Christmas, so apologies for all the excitable Yuletide talk. Justice For All on Twitter: @JFAPOD Justice For All on Facebook: facebook.com/jfapod

Brad from the TFYTC is back with us again, as we take another trip into the Star Wars Universe, this time with particular focus on the excellent Disney+ series, The Mandalorian! This WAS recorded before the finale though, so at least this time around you'll be spared the sound of two grown men crying over the fate of a Muppet. Next time though...

Marvel UK's Transformers first Christmas was not a very Christmassy affair, as they seemed to have a lot of US Transformers material to get through - you'd think that maybe they could have sacrificed the Machine Man comics, though. Oh well. Join Andy from the Smorgaspod and myself as we go through the UK's premier transforming robots comic of the 80s!

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? Nerva Beacon on Facebook: facebook.com/NervaBeaconPodcast Nerva Beacon on Twitter: @NervaBeaconPod
