For our 101st episode Lewis has deep-dived into the historical archives to tell us the true story behind Christopher Nolan's new film: the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer & the creation of the first atomic bomb. 

Fan favourite guest Hamish joins us to discuss the people behind the Manhattan Project, the morality of nuclear weapons in wartime & a bit of Magic: The Gathering to keep things light.

Meanwhile Sam has been watching Henry Cavill bash people in a bathroom in Mission Impossible: Fallout, while Lewis has been watching 00's classic Malcolm In The Middle & playing gameboy classic Pokemon Blue.

In preparation for Barbie, instead of watching Greta Gerwig's fantastic back catalogue we decided to watch some films from our favourite male director Christopher Nolan.

We also both really wanted to see Barbie, and we thought we'd do something different to anyone on the internet by talking about it from the perspective of two white men.

This week we're celebrating our 100th episode by looking back at our previous 50 episodes & testing each other's knowledge on the most obscure details possible.

Sam has also been watching courtroom reality-tv Jury Duty, as well as young adult steampunk flop Mortal Engines.  Meanwhile Lewis has been watching political spin-doctoring in BBC classic The Thick Of It, along with reading Terry Pratchett's irreverent fantasy classic The Colour Of Magic.

As the release of Oppenheimer looms over us we’re covering our last Manhattan Project - Jonathan Hickman’s The Manhattan Projects. 

This sci-fi alt-history comic follows a ragtag group of super-geniuses and weirdos as they tackle the Second World War, inter dimensional travel & intergalactic conquest.

Sam has also been watching the disappointing 3rd season of The Witcher,  and reading Sean Murphy's acclaimed Batman: White Knight. Meanwhile Lewis has been watching Jean-Claude Van Damme's 90's classic Timecop, along with Netflix's Kong-fest Skull Island.

As we continue our journey towards the release of Christopher Nolan's explosive epic Oppenheimer, we strike off another Manhattan Project from our list with the Ugly Betty episode 'The Manhattan Project'.

Join us as we wonder how much this show copied The Devil Wears Prada, discover the origin of the series & talk a surprising amount about Denis Villeneuve.

Meanwhile we've both watched Black Mirror's sixth season, breaking down each episode and ranking them as well as the series overall.

Sam has also been watching vampire hack 'n' slash Renfield, animated monster mash Skull Island & DC super trash Titans. Lewis has also been to see Wes Anderson's latest star-studded release Asteroid City.
