Month: July 2022

Nick and Alastair pick the week of a heatwave to dive into three enormous releases in an extra-long episode, with Thor: Love & Thunder, The Boys season 3 and Ms Marvel season 1.

But first, Alastair’s saved some time for Pleasure, while Nick cauught up with Russian Doll season 2.

And then they get stuck into Thor: Love & Thunder (10:32), with… a few spoilers and, of course, some controversial and heavily qualified opinions about this movie.

Next, The Boys season 3 (23:32) tries to beat its own high standards for blowing the human body up while bringing the mood right down.

But fortunately, we’re finishing on Ms Marvel season 1 (38:56) to cheer us right up again. (Again, a few spoilers in here.)

This fortnight, Nick and Alastair are watching six-episode miniseries all the time, with Obi-Wan Kenobi and We Own This City.

But first, Nick bids a tearful farewell to longtime favourite Legends of Tomorrow (and stops to deliver a small eulogy for the wider Arrowverse too), which Alastair’s gone a little higher brow with London’s new production of To Kill A Mockingbird, written for the stage by Aaron Sorkin.

After which, their study of the Force finally begins in earnest with Obi-Wan Kenobi (13:57) on Disney Plus, including final episode spoilers from 19:50.

And lastly, in a slightly more grounded mode, Nick and Alastair take on We Own This City (27:27), a new miniseries about institutional corruption in Baltimore from genre heavyweights David Simon and George Pelacanos of The Wire fame. Some plot points from the final episode discussed, although this is non-fiction so you may not view them as “spoilers”.
