This fortnight, some climactic cartoon chat as Nick and Alastair discuss the final seasons of both What If…? and Star Trek: Lower Decks.
But first, Nick’s read new urban fantasy novel The Great When from legendary comics writer Alan Moore, while Alastair’s watched new movie Better Man, in which Robbie Williams is played by a CGI monkey.
After all that, they blast off into the multiverse with What If…? season 3 (12:44), travelling across space and time to ponder the question… how many more alternate superhero stories can Marvel come up with? Plus. since this is an animated anthology show, Nick and Alastair each count down their top three favourite episodes.
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?
