Adam and Kyle pick up right where the last episode left off, deep in the oddly dark (and weirdly funny) world of roadkill. From “suicidal squirrels” and pigeon daredevils to full-on pheasant horror stories involving surfboards, blood, and an unfortunate beach‑side dog incident, the lads swap tales that are equal parts tragic and ridiculous.

They break down the reality of driving through wildlife hotspots, hedgerows in the UK, goats on South African highways, and deer that apparently have a death wish. Along the way, they debate the golden question: if an animal steps into the road, do you brake, swerve, or just commit and hope for the best? Turns out, the answer is as uncomfortable as you’d expect.

Naturally, things spiral. Roadkill laws, whether you can legally take a deer home for dinner, and how quickly a casual conversation turns into DIY butchery tips (and immediate regret). Add in a completely unverified story about farmers putting crackers in their socks to outsmart badgers, and you’ve got peak Continuum chaos… half facts, half nonsense, all confidence.

And just when you think the episode couldn’t drift any further… it does. Crackers (the food, the insult, and everything in between), soggy lunch disasters, and the total failure of food labelling systems somehow take centre stage.

Finally, the chaos lands on something vaguely planned: Spider‑Noir. With Nicolas Cage back in the mix, Adam and Kyle tee up a new direction. Watching and reviewing the series episode-by-episode.

From roadside carnage to comic book noir. It’s messy, hilarious, and completely on brand.

Adam kicks things off by confirming Kyle is, in fact, alive, though possibly stitched together Frankenstein-style, and the pair dive straight back into reanimation. What starts as classic sci‑fi quickly grounds itself in reality: early 1800s experiments with electricity jolting corpses into movement, the revelation that defibrillators are basically real-world “reanimation tools,” and the uncomfortable truth that bringing a body back is very different from bringing a person back.

From there, things spiral into deep philosophical territory. Cryogenics, mind-uploading, and digital immortality all get thrown into the mix, raising the big question: if your consciousness lives on in a computer, or a robot, or even a video game… is that still you? Or just a copy? The lads bounce between sci‑fi (Matrix pods, AI integration, Transcendence) and reality, landing somewhere between “maybe possible” and “absolutely terrifying.”

Then it gets properly existential. Parallel lives, dying every day without knowing it, living in a simulation, restarting as a new character. This episode leans hard into the idea that life might just be a loop, a game, or something far stranger than we can comprehend. There’s no real conclusion… just the shared understanding that nobody has a clue what’s going on - but it’s fun trying to figure it out.

And then… in peak Continuum fashion… it all collapses into chaos.

A casual mention of squirrels sparks a hard pivot from metaphysics to roadkill, including Adam accidentally running one over, the emotional rollercoaster that follows (lasting about two minutes), and the brutal realism of nature tidying things up. The conversation escalates into impact physics (badgers vs cars), the logistics of cleaning up flattened animals, and whether there’s an unspoken “size threshold” before humans intervene.

By the end, reanimation, digital eternity, and the meaning of life have all been replaced with one pressing question:

How many animals has Adam actually hit?

Kyle opens the episode by briefly eulogising Adam… before confirming he’s very much alive. From there, the guys dive straight back into the cheery topic of death. Specifically, what actually happens to you when it’s all over.

From traditional burials and cremations to the weirder alternatives (aquamation, human composting, turning yourself into a diamond, or even blasting your ashes into space), they explore just how many options there really are—and why most of them feel either too expensive or slightly terrifying. The real shock? Funeral costs. Thousands of pounds spent on something you’ll never even attend sparks a brutally honest debate: is any of it actually worth it?

Naturally, things get suspicious. Can you trust what’s in the coffin? What happens to people with no family? Are funeral homes just quietly running a very strange business model? And why does everything, from pet cremations to full services, suddenly get so expensive when someone dies?

From there, the tone shifts from dark curiosity to dark humour: IKEA flat‑pack funerals, ocean send‑offs, Viking burials (legal or not), and the idea that the best send‑off might just be “cheap and cheerful, then straight to the pub.”

But just when you think it can’t get weirder, it does. Zombies, parasites that control behaviour, and the age‑old question “could you actually reanimate a body?” take the episode into full sci‑fi territory. Frankenstein gets a mention, logic gets questionable, and a new topic is born…

Next episode: reanimation. Because of course it is.
