    A Very Merry Movie Breakdown
    Dec 31 2025

    This week, Becca, Sarah and Mollie dive headfirst into the world of Christmas movies — from the classics we grew up with to the chaotic modern gems that have become annual traditions. We’re talking heartwarming favourites, guilty-pleasure watches, iconic characters, questionable plots, and why some films just feel like Christmas even when they absolutely shouldn’t.We break down what makes a great holiday movie, share our personal must-watch lists, debate the best film, and ask the ultimate question: Is Die Hard really a Christmas film? (…You already know we have feelings about this.)Grab your hot chocolate, cosy up under a blanket, and join us for a sleigh-ride of nostalgia, laughter, and festive movie magic.✨ Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and tell us your favourite Christmas movie in the comments! ✨Follow Women of Nerd CultureInstagram: / womenofnerdculture TikTok: / women.of.nerd.cul Follow Nerdy Up North:Facebook: / nerdyupnorth Instagram: / nerdyupnorth Twitter: / nerdyupnorth Twitch: / nerdyupnorth Discord: / discord

    Dec 30 2025
    This week on Women of Nerd Culture, we’re stepping into a world of sparkle, strength, and sisterhood as we dive into the world of Royal Sapphire Pageants — a system built on empowerment, representation, and celebrating every kind of woman. Joining us is the incredible Cat, a current Royal Sapphire titleholder, who brings honesty, humour, and heartfelt insight into what pageantry really looks like today.We talk sparkle and gowns, sure — but we also speak about confidence, leadership, advocacy, and how modern pageant systems are redefining what it means to wear a crown. Cat shares her journey into pageantry, the challenges and triumphs along the way, what the Royal Sapphire community means to her, and how holding a title has shaped her identity both on and off the stage.If you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of a pageant, how contestants lift each other up, or what it feels like to walk with purpose (and sometimes in heels), this is the episode for you. Empowerment, authenticity, and a little bit of glitter — what more could you want?Follow Women of Nerd CultureInstagram: / womenofnerdculture TikTok: / women.of.nerd.cul Follow Nerdy Up North:Facebook: / nerdyupnorth Instagram: / nerdyupnorth Twitter: / nerdyupnorth Twitch: / nerdyupnorth Discord: / discord #WomenOfNerdCulture #RoyalSapphirePageants #PageantLife #ModernPageantry #WomenEmpowerment #FemaleLeadership #PageantQueens #CrownAndConfidence #EmpoweredWomen #BeautyAndBrains #PageantCommunity #CatInterview #TitleHolderTalk #BehindTheCrown #PageantJourney #WomenInMedia #InspiringWomen #GirlPower #SparkleAndStrength #PodcastEpisode #NerdCulture #RepresentationMatters #RealWomenRealStories
