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)!

Miles and Charlie have come down with a case of the ‘too British for Star Trek’ and are coping with it the only way they know how, by once more becoming Space Scamps and hopping over to Moonbase Alpha for three more episodes of Space 1999!

We’ve an unintentional theme of guest stars here as ‘Force of Life’ gives us a young Ian McShane coming down with a bad case of heat vamperism, while ‘Alpha Child’ gives us evil children, weird cosmic space incest with Julian Glover (he’s been in a lot of stuff). Finally, ‘Missing Link‘ gives us a guest turn by Peter Cushing in a costume choice slightly more dignified than Christopher Lee back in Space Scamps II, and Charlie asks us a terrifying question: why have we not watched any season 2 yet…

EPISODES MENTIONED:
Force of Life (09:14)
Alpha Child (28:58)
Missing Link (50:53) 

  TALKING POINTS: The Abominable Dr. Phibes, New Classic Doctor Who, The Employees, The House on the Borderland, Sailing, Rhinestone Cowboy, a very young Ian McShane who to Miles’ surprise is NOT playing a scumbag, coworkers coming into work while sick, Space 1999’s production values ALWAYS impress, Sunshine is a great movie, is this incest? Maybe. Avengers Issue 200 style shennanigans, Julian Glover, the Man the Myth the Legend, Alpha Child does TNG’s The Child CORRECTLY, what the hell was TV Show ‘Swat?’ also… who is second in command on Moonbase Alpha? Space-Rationalists are the worst. Space 1999 is the wrong show to be doing Logic vs. Emotion, this is why we have a stunt crew, Space 1999 would have made a great season of The Terror, we feel sorry for Moonbase Alpha’s catering department
