Month: June 2023

A brutal fortnight this time, as Nick and Alastair cover teen cannibal drama Yellowjackets and ultraviolent Finnish movie Sisu.

But first, Alastair’s staring at shiny cars and shinier bald heads in Fast X, while Nick’s reading Stan Sakai’s fluffy rabbit samurai comic Usagi Yojimbo.

And then it’s off into the wilderness with Yellowjackets season 2 (15:02), as the lost football team finally get into the meat of the situation. Specifically the dead human meat. Including hardcore survivalist season-ending spoilers from around 25:30.

Lastly, our heroes relax by watching an angry commando slaughter Nazis in Sisu (34:08).

A couple of the year’s major cultural events come together here, with Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and the final season of Succession.

But first, Nick’s been reading introspective flight-metaphor comic She Could Fly, while Alastair’s been at Sci-Fi London film festival, seeing movies you cannot watch, such as Phi 1.618.

But never mind that, it’s time to get into Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (8:45), a sequel to a film wildly heralded as the best Spider-Man adaptation and one of the best animated movies of recent years. So no pressure then.

Lastly, another era-defining release – Succession season 4 (26:57), concluding the smash hit series about horrible rich siblings destroying each other. Includes full-fat finale spoilers from 37:35.
