A couple of the year’s major cultural events come together here, with Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and the final season of Succession.
But first, Nick’s been reading introspective flight-metaphor comic She Could Fly, while Alastair’s been at Sci-Fi London film festival, seeing movies you cannot watch, such as Phi 1.618.
But never mind that, it’s time to get into Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (8:45), a sequel to a film wildly heralded as the best Spider-Man adaptation and one of the best animated movies of recent years. So no pressure then.
Lastly, another era-defining release – Succession season 4 (26:57), concluding the smash hit series about horrible rich siblings destroying each other. Includes full-fat finale spoilers from 37:35.
