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.
