The big 4-0! For this milestone, time to revisit some old friends, as Nick finally finishes Alan Moore’s Jerusalem and Alastair returns to Ben Aaraovitch’s Rivers of London world in comic form.
They’ve also seen Edgar Wright’s ice-cool car-musical Baby Driver (9:51) and, at long last, can discuss a whole new series of Doctor Who (25:01) at length. (which, oh, they definitely do.) We discussed the start of series 10 back in MFV #35.
Also, another revisitation, as they check back with magical Image Comics series Curse Words (49:22) to see how the first storyline ended, after our initial review in MFV #29.
Finally, time for some serious synth-pop of the soul with Alastair’s latest recommendation: You And Me Against The World by Apoptygma Berzerk (58:45).

Last but definitely not least, Nick recommends Quantum & Woody (55:17) by Christopher Priest and Mark Bright, the mismatched-buddy-superhero comic that influenced much of his style, taste and sense of humour. Will Alastair dig it?
Alastair are back (despite Nick’s laryngitis struggles) to talk about their Team MFV trip to 
Finally, what did Nick think of noted sci-fi classic Blade Runner (50:16)? With his malfunctioning vocal systems, did it hit too close to home?
Thirty seven minutes in heaven! Nick and Alastair begin on a pleasingly literate note, looking back on MR Carey’s The Boy On The Bridge (follow-up to his previously-praised The Girl With All The Gifts) and From Hell, classic Jack The Ripper graphic novel by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell.

Next, Nick’s taste in music takes its turn for a pasting, as they review new Gorillaz album Humanz (33:58).
