The superhero movie resurrection continues with Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, then Nick and Alastair take things down a notch with Netflix’s The Chair.
But first, it’s an unusually eventful recommendations section, as Alastair brings us bad news about our podcast title while covering Censor, and Nick unleashes a dark earworm as he discusses Alan Partridge: From The Oasthouse.
And then it’s time for a big step in Marvel’s fourth superhero phase with Shang Chi (11:28), which Nick and Alastair don’t spoil in detail, but perhaps in vague structural terms – the shape of the ending is described.
Lastly, they return to their golden years in academia with Netflix’s The Chair (27:04), including expert commentary and exciting news about David Duchovny.

This fortnight, reality itself is crumbling as Nick and Alastair cover games-come-t0-life movie Free Guy and Marvel’s multiverse-humping animated series What If…?
Lastly, a look at the opening episodes of What If…? (25:16), the latest show from Marvel/Disney+, showing us how our lives could’ve been different if Peggy Carter became Captain America, or if Nick & Alastair never started this podcast. (That one is coming up in season 1 episode 11.)
Another all-Netflix fortnight, as Nick and Alastair take flight with Blood Red Sky, then travel the land with Masters of the Universe: Revelation.
Lastly, Nick and Alastair turn up fashionably late to another hot cultural issue by finally watching Masters of the Universe: Revelation (23:09). They last a full few minutes without spoiling the ending of the first episode.
This fortnight, Nick and Alastair return to big-name supercinema with The Suicide Squad, before reminding themselves of the inside world with Biohackers season 2.
And in a short flashback to the pandemic world, Nick and Alastair return to the bizarre world of Biohackers (21:49) to see if the second season can live up to the first.
rything from beginning to end, just like they do at parties.
From one extreme to another this fortnight, as Nick and Alastair chill out with new Pixar movie Luca, then freak out into a numb depression thanks to Inside by Bo Burnham.
However, they can definitely agree the last year was a bummer, and that Bo Burnham captured that glum vibe with his hit musical comedy special Inside (25:13).
This fortnight, Nick and Alastair take a walking tour of the local streaming services with Netflix’s Sweet Tooth and Amazon’s Solos.
Last of all, it’s Solos (30:08), a show which begs all kind of questions about exactly what Amazon think of their own talking products.
This fortnight, a classic combination of creatives with The Nevers, a new TV show created (though no longer run) by Joss Whedon, and Army of the Dead, the latest movie directed by Zack Snyder.
Last of all, they’ve seen Army of the Dead (28:30) – has it been long enough since Nick’s last Walking Dead episode to finally give zombies a chance?
Relentless robots and never-ending Netflix this fortnight, as Nick and Alastair do Love, Death & Robots season 2, followed by The Mitchells Vs The Machines.
This fortnight, the podcast celebrates Alastair’s successful Oscar predictions by watching 2021’s Best Picture Nomadland, while Nick takes his turn by bringing in new X-Men series Way of X.
Finally, Nick and Alastair return to their beloved modern-era X-Men line with Way of X #1 (22:57) by Si Spurrier and Bob Quinn and ask: how much ritualised murder is too much?
