Code Purple Podcast

The Code Purple crew have drawn a bath and invite you to join them in it, for it is Bath Month on the Code Purple Podcast. A relaxing and cleansing soak was needed after the bloody recent feature Resident Evil (2026, dir. Zach Cregger), which put them in the right headspace to discuss the soggy sea-themed selection of Piranha 2: The Spawning (1982, dir. James Cameron), Deep Blue Sea (1999, Renny Harlin) and Aquaman (2018, dir. James Wan).

After all memory of them was wiped from the minds of the world's population, Code Purple returns for a new episode, with a brand new (guest) host, Tom Watkins. The guys discuss the most recent instalment in the MCU and Spider-Man film franchises: Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026, dir. Destin Daniel Cretton).

It's been a crazy month at Code Purple HQ. Luke's been busy working at a kitchen in Provincetown, Osian has recently become MI6's first non-binary recruit, and James had to transport crates of volatile nitroglycerin along dirt roads in his Peugeot 107. As such, there have once again been delays, but finally a new episode has arrived, themed around one of the gang's favourite decades, the 70s. The recent feature is coincidentally 70s-set, with it being Tony (2026, dir. Matt Johnson). The choices are The Spook Who Sat by the Door (1973, dir. Ivan Dixon), The Front (1976, dir. Martin Ritt) and Sorcerer (1977, dir. William Friedkin).

MUSIC, STUART, FILM. That's the premise for this episode, where the guys talk the newly released album Music, Fashion, Film by Charli XCX, the new Big Bang Theory spin-off Stuart Fails to Save the Universe and the recent feature The Odyssey (2026, dir. Christopher Nolan). Sorry it's come so late; Osian had an Odyssey of their own, and Osiansey, if you will, as they tried to make it back from their Haven Holiday. The Cyclops offered them his cheese, and they asked if he had any Babybels instead. It really pissed Poseidon off, hence the delay. Now everyone's back a Code Purple HQ, things should go back to normal.

Is your social credit score low? Fear not, as you can raise it by listening to this new episode of the Code Purple podcast, for the theme this month is Chinese Cinema. The guys have chosen the films In the Heat of the Sun (1994, dir. Jiang Wen), Detective Chinatown (2015, dir. Chen Sicheng) and Only the River Flows (2023, dir. Wei Shujun). The recent feature of the month is Minions & Monsters (2026, dir. Pierre Coffin), and we must warn that listening to this segment will not raise your social credit score; it might even lower it.
