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.
But first, Alastair’s adding to his Oscar viewing with animated feature award winner Flow, while Nick’s catching up with the fourth season of Apple TV sitcom Mythic Quest. And one host makes a Shocking On-Air Discovery.
And after that, they venture into the wilderness to see if they’ll draw the death card in the latest run of Yellowjackets (18:18, full spoilers from 27:57). Can the show recover after that difficult second season?]
Lastly, a darker shade of murder in Adolescence (39:34), as Nick and Alastair discover why this show has captured the minds of a nation.

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.

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?
This fortnight, it’s Alastair’s favourite time of year – prestige Oscar movie season! So the podcast digs into the new Nosferatu remake from Robert Eggers, and acclaimed comedy-drama A Real Pain.

This fortnight, some climactic cartoon chat as Nick and Alastair discuss the final seasons of both What If…? and Star Trek: Lower Decks.
Lastly, one final outing with the misfits of Star Trek: Lower Decks (28:34) in their fifth and final season. Will the lovable underdog characters achieving promotion to upper deck status make this silly show any less fun?
