It’s our double-centennial episode! And to mark this frankly unnecessary amount of podcasting, we recommend more of our all-time favourites, with Nick bringing popular comic series Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye and Alastair supplying cult movie The Royal Tenenbaums.
But first, Nick’s finally completed his year-long mission to watch all of Justified and 2023 comeback show Justified: City Primeval, while Alastair’s headed out on his annual pilgrimage to London Film Festival where he saw movies like The Zone of Interest, Molli and Max in the Future and many more.
All that dealt with, it’s time to get stuck into Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye (15:08), the one piece of transforming-robot media Nick likes, featuring a group of misfit Transformers on an accident-prone journey across space. Will Alastair be able to tell all the similar-looking mechs apart?
And lastly, we cover The Royal Tenenbaums (32:52), a major work in Alastair’s personal cinematic journey. Will this be the one that finally makes Nick shut up and love Wes Anderson?

A robot rampage this fortnight, as Nick and Alastair tackle new scifi movie The Creator and latest Star Wars streaming show Ahsoka.
Before finally enjoying a less stressful robot-filled world in Star Wars: Ahsoka (24:33).
This fortnight, Nick and Alastair do battle with romance itself in Love Everlasting, and the horrifying scale of capitalism itself in How To Blow Up A Pipeline. Heavy stuff.
Last of all, they learn some important lessons about terrorism with 2022 movie How To Blow Up A Pipeline (23:34).
But don’t worry, new comic Damn Them All (31:44) by Simon Spurrier and Charlie Adlard is exactly as demonic as you’d expect.
This fortnight, Nick and Alastair ascend to the heavenly heights of Good Omens 2, then plunge into the dirty underworld of spies in Old Dog.
Lastly, time to go underground with Old Dog (29:55), the new spy-fi comic from Declan Shalvey, but don’t worry, there’s no risk of our heroes learning any new tricks.
It’s the return of the Netflix movie double-bill this fortnight, with They Cloned Tyrone and Extraction 2.
And lastly, time to heroically blow up some vehicles and slaughter hundreds with Chris Hemsworth in Extraction 2 (23:47).
A change to the advertised programme, as Nick and Alastair both made it to the cinema to watch burning-hot new movie Oppenheimer, as well as sneaking through latest Marvel mini-series Secret Invasion.
And at the opposite end of the spectrum, they also saw Secret Invasion (28:32), the latest Marvel Disney+ event finally giving Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury some spotlight.
Nick and Alastair go deep down this fortnight, delving into the criminal underworld (kinda) with Nimona, then plunging literally underground with Silo season 1.
Lastly, they study the dark secrets of Silo (24:54), the hit Apple TV series. But are our heroes about to go unusually against the media consensus?
This fortnight, Nick and Alastair take a journey into many sides of America, with the dark underbelly in Poker Face, and an altogether more whimsical angle in Asteroid City.
And how about Asteroid City (26:52), the latest movie from tweecore auteur Wes Anderson?
A brutal fortnight this time, as Nick and Alastair cover teen cannibal drama Yellowjackets and ultraviolent Finnish movie Sisu.
