Nick and Alastair finally catch Sinners, the cinematic sensation of 2025 so far, then follow it up with the latest season of Love, Death & Robots on Netflix.
But first, Nick’s in the past yet again with Homicide: Life on the Street, while Alastair’s bang up to date with Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning, the newest (and last?) instalment in the Tom Cruise stunt vehicle franchise.
After all that, time to head down the juke joint with Sinners (19:28), the widely acclaimed action-horror movie from Ryan Coogler. Including spoilers for the big mid-film reveal at 26:33 if you’re dodging that.
And then they return to Love, Death & Robots (35:19), the Netflix scifi anthology series which is increasingly veering away from scifi, including their usual countdown of their favourite episodes.
Lastly, if you still need to back Nick’s SoulD #2 Kickstarter, you’ve got about 28 hours after this podcast drops…

This fortnight, in a change to the advertised schedule, Nick and Alastair take on another Marvel double-bill with antihero punctuation movie Thunderbolts* and the first season of new Disney+ cartoon Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man.
Lastly, time for Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man (29:33), which Nick inevitably has lengthy feelings about. He also feels that it’s worth seeing this show unspoilt because there’s a good twist towards the end, but if you insist on ruining it for yourself, the spoilers are in the podcast anyway from 37:30.
This fortnight, Nick and Alastair delve into the dark side of superheroics with Daredevil: Born Again, then the grimy underbelly of tech and society itself in Black Mirror season 7.
Finally, another return to a previous subject in Black Mirror season 7 (38:15) – is it as sad as before? And is that good or bad? All that and more!
This fortnight, it’s all teenage death all the time, as Nick and Alastair cover the lurid cult-horror of Yellowjackets season 3, then the all-too-real sadness of Netflix’s Adolescence.
This fortnight, Nick and Alastair check out new scifi high-concept movie Mickey 17 and the third season of Invincible!
Last of all, they’ve also seen Invincible season 3 (38:38), the animated superhero series they’ve previously given rave reviews to. Will it keep up that quality? Includes heavy spoilers from 42:48.
Nick and Alastair descend into the dark side of tech, just for a change, with new black-comedy drama movie Companion and technothriller comic W0rldtr33.
Last of all, they catch up with the first two volumes of W0rldtr33 (33:14), a dark internet thriller comic by James Tynion IV and Fernando Blanco. How has the series shaped up since they 
This fortnight, Nick and Alastair head into a bold future with Captain America: Brave New World, then back to a bloody past with Dexter: Original Sin.
Last of all, they’ve not been super-optimistic about Dexter: Original Sin (26:53), but could the mild-mannered mass-murderer surprise them? Featuring ruination-level ending spoilers from 38:16.
This fortnight, Nick and Alastair take on The Power Fantasy, the new conflict-averse super-comic from Image Comics, and Star Trek: Section 31, an action-espionage spin-off film featuring Michelle Yeoh.
But don’t worry, Star Trek: Section 31 (34:47) will bring about a definite change of mood. Is it a film? Is it a TV pilot? Is it somehow both and neither?
This fortnight, it’s Alastair’s favourite time of year – prestige Oscar movie season! So the podcast digs into the new Nosferatu remake from Robert Eggers, and acclaimed comedy-drama A Real Pain.
Notably less facial hair chat follows when they experience A Real Pain (35:11), a touching travel comedy-drama with Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin.
