This fortnight, two big scifi universes return for a second season – first, Doctor Who, then Star Wars prequel Andor!
But first, Alastair’s watched classic French film Breathless, while Nick’s read new Batman storyline Gotham Nocturne, from the pages of Detective Comics.
And then it’s time to take flight with Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor Who (18:07) for a second season, including spoilers all the way up to that heavily reported final twist.
And last of all, well-reviewed Star Wars series Andor (39:36) returns for its final run, taking us all the way to the start of Rogue One.

Nick and Alastair finally catch Sinners, the cinematic sensation of 2025 so far, then follow it up with the latest season of Love, Death & Robots on Netflix.
And then they return to Love, Death & Robots (35:19), the Netflix scifi anthology series which is increasingly veering away from scifi, including their usual countdown of their favourite episodes.
This fortnight, in a change to the advertised schedule, Nick and Alastair take on another Marvel double-bill with antihero punctuation movie Thunderbolts* and the first season of new Disney+ cartoon Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man.
Lastly, time for Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man (29:33), which Nick inevitably has lengthy feelings about. He also feels that it’s worth seeing this show unspoilt because there’s a good twist towards the end, but if you insist on ruining it for yourself, the spoilers are in the podcast anyway from 37:30.
This fortnight, Nick and Alastair delve into the dark side of superheroics with Daredevil: Born Again, then the grimy underbelly of tech and society itself in Black Mirror season 7.
Finally, another return to a previous subject in Black Mirror season 7 (38:15) – is it as sad as before? And is that good or bad? All that and more!
This fortnight, it’s all teenage death all the time, as Nick and Alastair cover the lurid cult-horror of Yellowjackets season 3, then the all-too-real sadness of Netflix’s Adolescence.
This fortnight, Nick and Alastair check out new scifi high-concept movie Mickey 17 and the third season of Invincible!
Last of all, they’ve also seen Invincible season 3 (38:38), the animated superhero series they’ve previously given rave reviews to. Will it keep up that quality? Includes heavy spoilers from 42:48.
Nick and Alastair descend into the dark side of tech, just for a change, with new black-comedy drama movie Companion and technothriller comic W0rldtr33.
Last of all, they catch up with the first two volumes of W0rldtr33 (33:14), a dark internet thriller comic by James Tynion IV and Fernando Blanco. How has the series shaped up since they 
This fortnight, Nick and Alastair head into a bold future with Captain America: Brave New World, then back to a bloody past with Dexter: Original Sin.
Last of all, they’ve not been super-optimistic about Dexter: Original Sin (26:53), but could the mild-mannered mass-murderer surprise them? Featuring ruination-level ending spoilers from 38:16.
This fortnight, Nick and Alastair take on The Power Fantasy, the new conflict-averse super-comic from Image Comics, and Star Trek: Section 31, an action-espionage spin-off film featuring Michelle Yeoh.
But don’t worry, Star Trek: Section 31 (34:47) will bring about a definite change of mood. Is it a film? Is it a TV pilot? Is it somehow both and neither?
