S11E17 – Rebels Without A Clue

Archaeon 16/11/2015

It’s Bonfire Night, and so we remember the 5th of November with a show about rebellion – but since we’re a pretty aimless bunch we’re not really sure what we’re actually fighting for, or even who the enemy is. This may just end up with us disagreeing and ridiculing each […]

4-Panel 33 – King of the Bruces

Archaeon 15/11/2015

We return to the realms of sequential art to discuss the worst X-Man ever, Garth Ennis’ new series “Johnny Red”, Gorilla Grod, Killer Frost and the new Firestorm in The Flash TV series, a new comic in development called “Bruce Lee: The Dragon Rises” and more. Our featured comics and […]

Cinema Eclectica 44 – Hell Comes To Brooklyn

Archaeon 14/11/2015

This week we realise that not all advertising is evil – some of it is quite hilarious. Off the Shelf is an almighty round of opposites with Rob and Akira Kurosawa’s “Rashomon”, Ryan with the 1980’s horror classic “Hellraiser”, Aidan with “A Letter to Three Wives” and Graham with a […]

Song of the Sea (2015) One of the most beautiful animated films we’ve ever seen (Review)

Rob Simpson 10/11/2015

There is a problem in British Cinema and it’s the relationship with its own mythology and history; go to Korea, Japan, Scandinavia or India and you’ll find numerous movies, cartoons, comic books and other paraphernalia devoted to traditional folklore.

The Firemen’s Ball (1967) A good fun satire on totalitarianism? (Review)

Graham Williamson 10/11/2015

If you’re intrigued by the current cinephile chatter about the Czechoslovak New Wave and you’re looking for a good place to start, you couldn’t do much better than Arrow’s new reissue of Miloš Forman’s second film. The Firemen’s Ball is as formally precise and tightly edited as any film in […]

Keyframe 29 – Primates, Teabags and Magical Girls

Archaeon 09/11/2015

This week we discuss William Shatner’s role in the animated horror movie “Malevolent”, the trailers for “Ratchet & Clank” and the very odd “Animal Kingdom: Let’s Go Ape”, the RWBY manga by Shirow Miwa – the mangaka of “Dogs: Bullets & Carnage”, some rather strange teabags and all sorts of […]

Cinema Eclectica 43 – James and the Giant Elm Street Nightmare

Archaeon 08/11/2015

This week we go rogue because the Bond takeover has disrupted normal service. With Spectre consuming all of the releases we decided to change the rules, and instead of our usual “Off the Shelf” and “Film of the Week” we take to the opportunity to do something different. Join us […]
