This fortnight, Nick and Alastair dive into the surreal worlds of Severance season 2 and Grand Theft Hamlet.
But first, they’ve also seen some odd movies – Nick headed to the cinema for Dog Man, while Alastair stayed at home with In Camera.
After that, time to cut our minds in half and get the lift down to Severance season 2 (16:07), to see if they can avoid the fate of many other mystery box shows. Happy to report they don’t even drop too many spoilers.
Lastly, after failing to get tickets at London Film Festival last year, they’ve finally seen Grand Theft Hamlet (36:22), a documentary about staging a production of Shakespeare’s most famous play inside the video game Grand Theft Auto Online.

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.
Nick and Alastair descend into the dark side of tech, just for a change, with new black-comedy drama movie Companion and technothriller comic W0rldtr33.
Last of all, they catch up with the first two volumes of W0rldtr33 (33:14), a dark internet thriller comic by James Tynion IV and Fernando Blanco. How has the series shaped up since they 
This fortnight, Nick and Alastair head into a bold future with Captain America: Brave New World, then back to a bloody past with Dexter: Original Sin.
Last of all, they’ve not been super-optimistic about Dexter: Original Sin (26:53), but could the mild-mannered mass-murderer surprise them? Featuring ruination-level ending spoilers from 38:16.
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.
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.
If this isn’t enough retrospective action for you, don’t forget you can also read 
This fortnight, time for another of Nick and Alastair’s famously non-festive Christmas specials as they cover Arcane season 2 and Blitz!
