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.
In fact, there’s an uncanny amount of new cinema in this episode, as Nick’s talking about surreal French fashion-murder film Deerskin, while Alastair’s seen Edgar Wright’s rockumentary The Sparks Brothers.
Then, at last, The Suicide Squad (9:04) arrives to show us the fun, happy, almost uplifting side of murder. Surprisingly few spoilers in this one.
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.
Meanwhile, Nick’s next comics Kickstarter launched the actual same day as this podcast – it’s FairyFare with his Little Deaths of Watson Tower collaborator Rosie Alexander, the story of the fairies finally joining the gig economy. Click on through to check it out.

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?
This fortnight, Nick and Alastair present their inevitable The Falcon & The Winter Soldier conclusions, then decompress with lovable scifi-romcom Palm Springs.
Finally, Nick and Alastair live through the eventful day of Palm Springs (
This fortnight, Nick and Alastair are so neck deep in superheroes, you’d think it was 2019, with Wonder Woman 1984 and Invincible.
Reaching the present day at last, it’s time for Amazon’s new cartoon superhero adaptation Invincible (31:50), with full stinkin’ spoilers from 39:15. And seriously, if you’re gonna watch, your hosts recommend going in without having those twists ruined if you still can.
This fortnight, Nick and Alastair jump on the burning train of internet discourse and watch Zack Snyder’s Justice League, stopping on the way to take in Pacific Rim: The Black.
And last of all, a quick stop with Pacific Rim: The Black (29:53), sticking to that dystopian theme.
