Back to regular business for Nick and Alastair this fortnight, as they cover the final series of their beloved haunted-house sitcom Ghosts, plus scifi future-house movie Foe.
But before that, Alastair’s thrilled to see the arrival of Oscar movie season with Killers of the Flower Moon, while Nick’s finishing off old business with the final season of Netflix’s Sex Education.
After all that, they enter the hilarious afterlife of Ghosts (12:10) for the fifth and final time. Will the characters’ already-ended lives change forever? And does it matter either way?
Lastly, a trip to the climate apocalypse with bleak domestic scifi drama Foe (23:42), hoping neither one of us has been replaced by a robot.

It’s our double-centennial episode! And to mark this frankly unnecessary amount of podcasting, we recommend more of our all-time favourites, with Nick bringing popular comic series Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye and Alastair supplying cult movie The Royal Tenenbaums.
And lastly, we cover The Royal Tenenbaums (32:52), a major work in Alastair’s personal cinematic journey. Will this be the one that finally makes Nick shut up and love Wes Anderson?
A robot rampage this fortnight, as Nick and Alastair tackle new scifi movie The Creator and latest Star Wars streaming show Ahsoka.
Before finally enjoying a less stressful robot-filled world in Star Wars: Ahsoka (24:33).
This fortnight, Nick and Alastair do battle with romance itself in Love Everlasting, and the horrifying scale of capitalism itself in How To Blow Up A Pipeline. Heavy stuff.
Last of all, they learn some important lessons about terrorism with 2022 movie How To Blow Up A Pipeline (23:34).
But don’t worry, new comic Damn Them All (31:44) by Simon Spurrier and Charlie Adlard is exactly as demonic as you’d expect.
This fortnight, Nick and Alastair ascend to the heavenly heights of Good Omens 2, then plunge into the dirty underworld of spies in Old Dog.
Lastly, time to go underground with Old Dog (29:55), the new spy-fi comic from Declan Shalvey, but don’t worry, there’s no risk of our heroes learning any new tricks.
It’s the return of the Netflix movie double-bill this fortnight, with They Cloned Tyrone and Extraction 2.
And lastly, time to heroically blow up some vehicles and slaughter hundreds with Chris Hemsworth in Extraction 2 (23:47).
A change to the advertised programme, as Nick and Alastair both made it to the cinema to watch burning-hot new movie Oppenheimer, as well as sneaking through latest Marvel mini-series Secret Invasion.
And at the opposite end of the spectrum, they also saw Secret Invasion (28:32), the latest Marvel Disney+ event finally giving Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury some spotlight.
Nick and Alastair go deep down this fortnight, delving into the criminal underworld (kinda) with Nimona, then plunging literally underground with Silo season 1.
Lastly, they study the dark secrets of Silo (24:54), the hit Apple TV series. But are our heroes about to go unusually against the media consensus?
This fortnight, Nick and Alastair take a journey into many sides of America, with the dark underbelly in Poker Face, and an altogether more whimsical angle in Asteroid City.
And how about Asteroid City (26:52), the latest movie from tweecore auteur Wes Anderson?
