In Episode 5 the Scot and Swede take aim at the baddest of baddies: on-screen Nazis! Pairing this year's The Zone of Interest with the early noughty’s winter zombie film Dead Snow.

Josh and Mårten discuss the humanization and dehumanization of history’s most heinous political movement, modern complicity in swipe-pastable activism and even the far right’s rise in Scandinavia… before descending into the blood spattered, penis-biting, snowmobile murdering, frozen gutters of Død snø (pronounced often, but badly, by Josh the Scot).

The Scot then recommends a wholesome Scottish drama where we all learn the value of community, whiskey and badly shot star scenes. Our Swedish recommend is a less uplifting TV drama following a Swedish serial killer giving the Scot and the Swede an excuse to muse over the ethics of true crime shows in 2024.

The Scot and the Swede will treat you to another double feature, this time a space opera extravaganza; discussing sci-fi geopolitics, blood orgies and acid flashbacks in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part 2 before getting into the subtleties with which the Wachowskis and Mila Kunis characterize their trope-suberting sci-fi hero in Jupiter Ascending.

In the end Josh has hunted down a Scottish Netflix thriller and Mårten delivers a deep cut from the Stellan Skarsgård-archives.
