This week, Alex & Dan swoon over the retro-futuristic reboot of the first family of the MCU - The Fantastic Four: First Steps!

There are some positives to take away from the first film from Phase 6 - but has superhero fatigue set in, looking at the box office? And does the film deserve some love?

What hit the mark, what didn't? Alex has some interesting theories, what ties Reed Richards to the TVA?

And in typical OTT fashion, we digress and bring you some Marvel reading recommendations. Sit back, relax and above all else - Flame on!

This week the dyanmic duo review the 7th installment of the Jurassic franchise, following their On the Go episode from the Cinema Doors in Southsea.

They pose some challenging questions: can a selfish merc really become a humanitarian? Do we need mutated dinosaurs for shock and awe? Have people forgotten how to behave around Dinosaurs, especially given some of the characters LITERALLY grew up around them during the events of Dominion....

We discuss our thoughts, feelings, likes and dislikes... AND YOURS. Where does the film fall in our rankings?

But ultimately, does this rescue a faltering franchise?

This week, the Dynamic South Coast duo return to the not-so-mean streets of Old Portsmouth to the cinema and back, to bring you their honest thoughts on the latest film from the MCU, kicking off Phase 6 and the 37th film in the franchise - it's The Fantastic Four: First Steps!

The MCU has been plagued with interesting storylines, rushed VFX/CGI and continuity errors - does the reboot of this much loved first Family of the MCU by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby undo the wrongs done by Josh Trank's efforts ten years ago?

Also don't forget - there's two end credit scenes - don't leave until the lights go up!

This week the southcoast duo are donning the tin foil hats yet again as they dive in the rabbit hole for a vol. 3 of Conspiracy Theories. What's happening at Denver Airport you ask? Everything apparently!

What do you mean Bob Ross painted the beautiful scenic views of his murders?!

Feeling nauseous? Got tinnitus? Loss of balance? Could be Havana syndrome!

Oh, Britney Spears's record label are cloning her amongst other wild conspiracies out there!

Sit back, relax and enjoy another journey down the rabbit hole!

This week, Alex & Dan delve back into the vaults to bring you an absolute banger from 2022 - they are dusting off the C Bombs and throwing them around like glitter! It's the return of what looks to be the second annual What Grinds Your Gears!

From noisy train passengers, grumpy football fans to wannabe comic book social media critics - to chatty dentists (we love you guys though, you must know this!), plane journeys in general, to misidentified Vegans - things get quite sweary, quite ranty - you have been warned!

Strap yourselves in, as all manner of things are getting committed to the vault under the sea!

P.s. A massive thank you to the listeners who wrote in - I'm sure you'll agree, it made for a great listen!

This week, it's a very special edition of the Southsea Creatives series as Alex & Dan welcome author and poet Dale M. Chatwin to the orange sofa to talk about his early writings as a child, his newest horror book (out now on Amazon - link below!) and... coming of age with Starship Troopers....?

Talking about writing influences, personal experiences and imparting some wisdom for budding writers and creatives, this is a great opportunity to hear from a creative writer with a passion for a variety of genres; from Horror to Speculative Fiction, Gothic Romance to Poetry.

As always, it's another great opportunity to hear from you the listener - as Dale answers questions posed from the audience.

Sit back, relax and whatever you do - don't go in search of the Bobhowler!
