Month: September 2018

This fortnight, Nick and Alastair check out The Predator, the latest movie in the Predator series, courtesy of Iron Man 3 and Kiss Kiss Bang bang director Shane Black.

But first, they’ve also experienced wrestling-based Netflix show GLOW and heavily praised BBC America spy series Killing Eve.

And now it’s finally time to enter The Predator (6:25). Alastair saw all the previous films, Nick hasn’t seen a single entry. Can he successfully talk out of Alastair enjoying the new one?

And then, coming off their experiences of this franchise, they ask: Does it matter if you haven’t seen the previous films? (22:28)

This fortnight, Nick and Alastair dive into the standard fantasy world of Matt Groening’s new satirical animation Disenchantment. Can the man who created The Simpsons and Futurama do it again?

But first, Nick’s watching The Leftovers, the post-rapture drama from one of the men behind Lost, which Alastair’s gone to see puppets shag in The Happytime Murders.

And then they launch into Disenchantment (9:15), to find out if it can rise above its obvious medieval magic-castle-knight-mocking roots to find some real funny.

Lastly, they ask: Are fantasy tropes beyond satire? (22:26) And as ever, the question might hint at our feelings about the item being reviewed.
