Month: September 2023

This fortnight, Nick and Alastair do battle with romance itself in Love Everlasting, and the horrifying scale of capitalism itself in How To Blow Up A Pipeline. Heavy stuff.

But first, they’ve also caught up on their streaming series, as Nick’s seen Heartstopper and Alastair’s done Foundation.

After which, it’s time to read the first volume of Love Everlasting (12:43), the surreal romance-fantasy puzzle comic by Tom King and Elsa Charretier.

Last of all, they learn some important lessons about terrorism with 2022 movie How To Blow Up A Pipeline (23:34).

This fortnight, Nick and Alastair return to the hellish kitchen of The Bear for its second season, then descend into a more literal underworld in Damn Them All.

But first, Alastair’s sticking with the monstrous angle in What We Do In The Shadows season 4, while Nick’s in more scholarly territory with Poisoned Chalice by Pádraig Ó Méalóid, a book chronicling a longrunning legal saga (about comics).

After all that, they gird their loins and dive into the kitchen of The Bear (14:14), only to find it’s… maybe a little less stressful than they remember it? (Also there are a few unlabelled spoilers in this review, sorry.)

But don’t worry, new comic Damn Them All (31:44) by Simon Spurrier and Charlie Adlard is exactly as demonic as you’d expect.
