    About this Episode

    Screenalysis, analysing the silver screen, in which we look at Charlie Chaplin's 1940 film The Great DIctator and Quentin Tarantino's 2009 film Inglourious Basterds and look at how propaganda has been used over the decades and satire's role in propagnda. 

    Not an Actual Daniel's Nemesis podcast, but the last of the interim episodes. The new series will be coming very soon.

    Verbal Emesis 2 (Or, back on the radio for the Danegade Master)

    Welcome back to the ultimate say-nothing podcast, the Daniel’s Nemesis Podcast. 
    Let it wash over you, and pay attention to whatever you want, even if that’s the sound more than the content. 

    Today I’m not saying much about Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Strikes Again and doing more radio shows. 

    There's an accompanying video to this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz2-GH1Zuc9He6NKtwr1CeQ

    Verbal Emesis 1 (Fern Brady, Mortimer & Whitehouse, The Machinist, Being a Radio DJ)

    An audio blog with a twist. I briefly mention Paul Whitehouse and Bob Mortimer's Gone Fishing, Fern Brady's Strong Female Character, and 2004's film The Machinist. I also talk about doing a link as a radio DJ.

    I'm also doing more on TikTok and YouTube - shorts and full-length videos (that look good) to accompany these episodes.

    X, Squared - CATCH UP 4, Chapters 16 - 21. FINALE! (Or... No, Jimmy Carr does not make an appearance, sorry)

    STRONG LANGUAGE and noisy bits. Also, no Jimmy Carr for reasons you will find out. 

    Yes, it’s a Catch-Up episode, and it’s the finale, wrapping up X, Squared: the novel that’s a podcast that’s an audio drama that’s a mess that’s a novel that’s a podcast that’s an audio drama that’s a hoot!

    Will I be able to tie up all the threads? 

    It’s the Daniel’s Nemesis Podcast episode to end all Daniel’s Nemesis Podcast episodes. 

    Enjoy, and don’t overthink it!

    X, Squared - Final Exam! (Another quick quiz about novel X, Squared)

    X, Squared - Final Exam! (Another quick quiz about novel X, Squared)

    Daniel’s Nemesis is currently sulking and will be back in a couple of weeks if he hasn’t rage-quit his own narrative. 

    So, I’m back with another quick quiz. My voice is different as I’m like many of the identities across this universe who have been reimagined, but my function remains. 

    I am just I. A personal pronoun adjacent to reality, not in the realm of imagination, merely digital sounds for this singular purpose. And I’m totally non-canon.

    You did well in the midterms, but we’ve learned a lot more since then. 

    How much have you been paying attention to the Daniel’s Nemesis novel X, Squared

    It’s a novel that’s a podcast that’s an audio drama that’s a mess that’s a novel that’s a podcast that’s an audio drama that’s a hoot! And sometimes a quiz. 

    It’s time for the Final Exam! 

    1.  When locked up in the police cells, how are they able to get out?

    2.  What kind of sandwich does Crunchy make?

    3.  Why does Crunchy want to kill Hemmingway?

    4.  Why does Mitsuko not want an office job?

    5.  Why does Crunchy not want the bubble to exist?

    6.  How does Crunchy reward Hemmingway’s hard work?

    7.  Who is Bateman?

    8.  What does Crunchy learn in the non-space that resembles death yet is not death?

    9.  What joint decision do Crunchy and Mitsuko make in the only instance of them working together?

    10.  How does Crunchy overcome his demons?

    11.  This being a Daniel’s Nemesis novel, does Crunchy die at the end?
