To celebrate a ludicrous 250 episodes, Nick and Alastair once again recommend each other some favourites – this time, it’s Netflix series Alice in Borderland and 90s superhero-cyberpunk comic Spider-Man 2099.
But first, Nick’s caught up on the latest seasons of the two US sitcoms he watches – Ghosts US and Abbot Elementary – while Alastair’s watched 2024 movie Queer
And then they enter the real business, with Alastair recommending Nick Alice in Borderland (20:21), a Japanese series on Netflix in which desperate people must play sadistic party games to survive in a hellish alternate Tokyo, a show he got very into during the pandemic.
Lastly, Nick’s suggestion for Alastair is Spider-Man 2099 (36:15), the original late-90s series by Peter David and Rick Leonardi, introducing the iconic future version of Spidey to the world, and Nick to darker and more morally complex comics.
You’ve got about a week left to back Nick’s latest Kickstarter for action-fantasy comic Worrywart! Featuring a fun story of violent family feuds, plus amazing art by Lane Lloyd.

This fortnight, Nick and Alastair revisit some old friends, as they exhume their favourite righteous serial killer in Dexter: Resurrection and witness another tense stand-off between the superhuman superpowers of The Power Fantasy.
