After a short break, Nick and Alastair are back on the superhero adaptations this time (and the next couple of times also), with the latest trip to Fake Marvel Asgard!
But before that, they’ve consumed other recent, heavily talked-about media too, namely La Belle Sauvage, the start of The Book of Dust trilogy by Philip Pullman, and Stranger Things 2!
But most important, it’s super-fun super-sequel time with Thor: Ragnarok (7:28), as the God of Thunder takes on the Goddess of Death (and also the Hulk)!

Then Alastair brings one of his all-time favourite films: Withnail & I (30:36), the classic British dark comedy starring Richard E. Grant and Paul McGann.
Is this episode the meaning of life? We lead off this week by discussing Netflix zombie-suburbs series Santa Clarita Diet and Kameron Hurley’s epic book of essays The Geek Feminist Revolution.
Forty-one days since our last accident! Nick and Alastair have not only taken in some culture this week (specifically the comedy of Daniel Kitson and Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy), they’ve also delved into the exciting new field of cultural hot-takes, as they discuss Jodie Whittaker’s casting as the first female Doctor Who (6:07)!
