It's Halloween, so we've got zombies, satanists, space necromancers - and killer robots from the future. 

In this episode we discuss:

• the deliberately repetitive zombie humour of the sequel to 2009's Zombieland
• Samara Weaving vehicle Ready or Not, an Eat the Rich fable for our time
• Tamsyn Muir's Gideon the Ninth (with a tip of the hat to the author interview on Death//Sentence)
• and Linda Hamilton's triumphant return in Terminator: Dark Fate. 

So something spooky and ooky for everyone. 

What two episodes in one week!

Well we do like to spoil you. 

This episode sees the return of guest, film-maker Tanzeal Rahim, to discuss all things The Joker. 

Now in something of a change of format, here Tanzeal has been asked to *convince* Emmet to go see the film. Listen to find out if he was successful. 

This week we try to look past the Ad Astra hot takes (daddy issues in space, Apocalypse Now in space, Space Cowboys 2....did we miss one?).

Is this a film loved by critics, but not by the punters? 

On an entirely unrelated note, we also review Dark Phoenix...let's get it over with.
