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.

Lastly, Nick and Alastair read unsettling internet horror comic W0rldTr33 #1 (26:44) by James Tynion IV and Fernando Blanco and try not to reflect too much on the amount of time they’ve spent online and the fact the demon is probably already in them.
