Nick and Alastair go deep down this fortnight, delving into the criminal underworld (kinda) with Nimona, then plunging literally underground with Silo season 1.

But first, Alastair’s watched the latest film in his beloved Mission Impossible franchise (surely you’ve read his epic retrospective article?), while Nick’s staying up in the light with Abbot Elementary.

And then it’s time to get ambiguously not-evil with Nimona (15:09), Netflix’s movie adaptation of the devious graphic novel by ND Stevenson.

Lastly, they study the dark secrets of Silo (24:54), the hit Apple TV series. But are our heroes about to go unusually against the media consensus?

This fortnight, Nick and Alastair take a journey into many sides of America, with the dark underbelly in Poker Face, and an altogether more whimsical angle in Asteroid City.

But first, some other TV catchup, as Nick’s finished the final season of Ted Lasso, while Alastair plunges into a new grim collection of Black Mirror episodes.

Plus a little more, as they both saw Poker Face (13:56), the acclaimed new crime show from Rhian Johnson. Is it as good as people say?

And how about Asteroid City (26:52), the latest movie from tweecore auteur Wes Anderson?
