Lanterns (HBO) This episode, we fly into the first two episodes of Lanterns, HBO’s ambitious new DC mystery series that takes one of comics’ oldest cosmic institutions and creates the construct of: “What if intergalactic space cops were dropped into the middle of True Detective?” Starring Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart, Lanterns follows the veteran Green Lantern and his new recruit partner as they investigate a mystery that may be bigger, stranger, and more […]
The End of Oak Street This week, we’re taking a trip back in time to The End of Oak Street, the new sci-fi adventure from David Robert Mitchell starring Anne Hathaway, Ewan McGregor, Maisy Stella, and Christian Convery. What begins as life on a seemingly ordinary suburban street quickly becomes something far stranger, with mysterious events, survival challenges, and the unexpected dangers of moving house… Like REALLY moving house.

Ride or Die Friendship, espionage, and the age-old question: How well do you really know your best mate?

Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026) With great power comes great podcasting responsibility… and this week, we web-sling into Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the latest chapter in the ever-expanding adventures of everyone’s favourite friendly neighbourhood wall-crawler. Following the reality-bending fallout of No Way Home, Peter Parker is swinging into a genuinely brand-new era, carrying plenty of emotional baggage, mysterious threats, and the sort of comic-book complications that would make even a Daily Bugle editor take a sick day. The film stars […]
X-Men ’97 Season 2 Since first blasting onto TV screens in 1992, the X-Men animated universe has been teaching us that being a mutant is hard, saving the world is harder, and finding a quiet weekend is apparently impossible. Fast-forward to 2026, and the beloved revival X-Men ’97 has continued the adventure for Season 2.

Widow’s Bay Apple TV+’s Widow’s Bay (2026) arrives with a siren song of small-town mystery and supernatural scares, firmly planting itself in that eerie territory somewhere between Stephen King‘s entire back catalogue and “Parks and Rec”(Not that Quinny would know)… Created by Katie Dippold and starring Matthew Rhys alongside Kate O’Flynn and Stephen Root, The series follows a skeptical small town mayor trying to revitalise a struggling island community… while said community politely insists that no… it is, in fact, […]
Evil Dead Burn Welcome back to the podcast where long-running franchises are lovingly dismembered, reanimated, and occasionally set on fire… This week, we’re diving chainsaw first? into Evil Dead Burn (2026), the sixth entry in Sam Raimi’s gloriously gooey horror legacy. What began in 1981 as the original scrappy, cabin-in-the-woods nightmare has since morphed into a full-blown franchise of splatter, slapstick, and increasingly unfunny trauma. Directed by Sébastien Vaniček and starring Souheila Yacoub, Hunter Doohan, and Luciane Buchanan, this latest […]
Supergirl This week we rocket headfirst into the second film of the new-ish DC Cinematic Universe; Supergirl, a character who’s been orbiting the DC universe since the Silver Age, occasionally stepping out from Superman’s shadow to remind everyone that capes aren’t a boys-only club. Directed by Craig Gillespie and starring Milly Alcock alongside Eve Ridley, Matthias Schoenaerts, and Jason Momoa desperately trying to wash off the fishy smell of Aquaman. We find Kara Zor-El trading Metropolis for the far reaches of […]
Obsession & Backrooms This episode we bravely wander into dimly lit corridors so you don’t have to (you’re welcome). This week, we’re diving headfirst into the ever-growing creepypasta-to-big-screen pipeline with Obsession (2025) and Backrooms (2026)—two films that prove the internet’s “what if this goes horribly wrong?” energy is alive, well, and making a serious dent in our sleep schedule. First up, Obsession, directed by Curry Barker, takes the classic “be careful what you wish for” trope and gives it a […]
Disclosure Day This week we are participating in riding the hype train for the new Steven Spielberg cultural touchstone “Disclosure Day“. Following on from his classic alien encounter stories of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T. and War of the Worlds this new film asks a different question entirely. And guess what? It’s or turn to disclose something to all of our lovely listeners… We really didn’t like it. AT ALL. Quinny and Jill are the lucky buggers who […]
