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.
But first, Alastair kicks us down that track with his thoughts on Nickel Boys, before Nick derails us with The Traitors season 3.
After all that, time to finally hunt down the vampire in Nosferatu (16:22), including thoughts on where it fits into the Robert Eggers canon and exactly what is going on with the moustache.
Notably less facial hair chat follows when they experience A Real Pain (35:11), a touching travel comedy-drama with Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin.

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?
As 2025 begins, one last gasp for last year, as Nick and Alastair get together for their traditional end of year round-up episode. Witness their general thoughts and top five favourites for both film (17:33) and TV (43:29) in 2024.

This fortnight, time for another of Nick and Alastair’s famously non-festive Christmas specials as they cover Arcane season 2 and Blitz!
This fortnight, Nick and Alastair investigate two keenly-anticipated follow-ups with Gladiator II and The Diplomat season 2!
Lastly, following a mere one year’s wait, it’s The Diplomat season 2 (27:45), to further investigate whether this truly is the West Wing of the 2020s.
This fortnight, Nick and Alastair explore another comic book supervillain origin in The Penguin, and encounter a more grounded yet also more horrific villain in Heretic.
But they fully predicted the sadness involved in Heretic (32:30), a new horror movie starring Hugh Grant in another great villainous turn.
At long last, Nick and Alastair bring you our Marvel villain/antihero spinoff special – it’s Agatha All Along and Venom: The Last Dance!
Lastly, it’s time to end an epic saga of gooey romance with Venom: The Last Dance (40:45). Can it possibly live up to the sheer stupidity of Let There Be Carnage?
This fortnight, Nick and Alastair take on the fourth season of their beloved Slow Horses and new British indie scifi movie Timestalker.
This fortnight, Nick and Alastair take on two recent movies: Joker: Folie a Deux and Rebel Ridge . One has been extremely well received, the other has not.
And last of all, they watch recent Netflix action movie Rebel Ridge (43:10), from Green Room director Jeremy Saulnier. Can this movie finally make bureaucracy exciting?
This fortnight, it’s a weird world as Nick and Alastair watch The Umbrella Academy season 4 and Cuckoo.
And last of all, it’s Cuckoo (33:56), a new movie auditioning for the hotly contested role of this year’s Get Out.
