Time for our festive late-2000s nostalgia special, as we cover the Doctor Who 60th anniversary Fourteenth Doctor specials (11:38) and the new Scott Pilgrim Takes Off anime (36:36).
Fairly liberal spoilers for both, so recommend watching them before listening if you're heavily invested in either property. Especially the Scott Pilgrim one.

This fortnight, there's all kinds of sinister things happening at the universities, as we cover polarising dark academia movie Saltburn (13:49) and edgy superkids-at-uni show Gen V (37:05), a spin-off from The Boys.
Fair warning - we manage not to explicitly spoil Saltburn, but do heavily imply the nature of the ending. You may want to see the film first if you feel strongly.
