Aussie Nerds Talk Stuff

In a very delayed episode (that's my bad - me being Rhys - editing took longer than expected), Rhys Parton and Adam J Purcell discuss their favourite TV shows of last year, 2025. As we concluded in the previous episode, 2025 was great for films, and in this one we realised it was great for television as well! Let us know you favourites by getting in touch on social media or via the email.

It's time for the Aussie Nerd Talks Stuff annual tradition of looking back at 2025 film and/or movies! This time Rhys is joined by Adam J Purcell, from the Staggering Stories Podcast to take turns talking about favourite films of last year. Plus a few that we didn't love.

In this episode Rhys is down a co-host and joined by Adam J Purcell to talk about the best and worst movies of 2024.

Later than usual, here is the Aussie Nerds Talk Stuff retrospective of TV Shows from 2024.
