With the announcement that Robert Pattinson will be donning the mantle of The Dark Knight in the next movie, we take a look at the villains who are set to play a role in the story, which naturally leads us on to some of Batman villains in general. With some […]

S16E09 – Stegosaurus Mike or Go Home
We’ve been away for a little while because of E3 (check out our coverage on our YouTube channel, and don’t forget to subscribe while you are there), but we won’t dwell on that because things other than video games have been happening in the world. So, kicking things off this […]
Cinema Eclectica 210 – Jules & Jim Up A Mountain
At 210 episodes old we can ask for all the things in the world, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to get anything for this “obvious” landmark. Besides, Rob and Aidan have a job to do. This week it’s another of our regular Directors Lottery episodes, and the director in […]
4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 37 – X-Men: Dark Phoenix SPOILER-CAST
Soooooo … Dark Phoenix is finally out in cinemas, and given our feelings about the trailer, the convolutedly confusing history of the X-Men and the Phoenix force itself, and the twisted timelines of the film franchise, we still went to see it. 4-Panel. We watch it or read it so […]
Cinema Eclectica 209 – Damn You 5 for £25!
The uncontainable power of our sister show 4-Panel rises up and consumes us again as Mick and Andrew join Aidan to discuss “X-Men: Dark Phoenix”. It’s the last in a franchise that’s lasted as long as two MCUs, but what’s the endgame like? Of course, before we watched films with […]
4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 36 – Godzilla: The Ultimate Magical Girl
With everything from plushies to video games under its giant belt, Godzilla is arguably one of the most profitable and marketable monsters on the planet, and with a new movie in cinemas (which we talk about as well), we though it was time for a look at the comic-book and […]
Surprise Lions Cause Khaki Pants – Literary Loitering 104
The goat herders of cultural anarchy return with another sack full of interesting and sometimes strange tidings from the arts world, and kicking things off this week is the shocking news that Grr Martin has allegedly finished a book – something that he strenuously denies. In other news, the musician […]
4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 35 – Dark Phoenix: Mad Jeans And Mutant Men
Get the headache tablets and the X-Men crazy wall ready because the Dark Phoenix movie is out soon, so we thought it would be a good idea to look back over the very convoluted history of the cosmic entity. With a full wardrobe of sashes, shawls, capes, children from other […]
Cinema Eclectica 208 – Fritz Lang’s Mannequin
The show is turned upside down again this week, with three big new releases in the second half and an archive gem in the first – Sergio Martino’s Poe-meets-giallo cult classic “Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key”, the title of which is but the […]
4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 34 – The Strange History of Batwoman
The Batwoman TV series is on the horizon, so Andrew, Mick and Rob thought it would be interesting to explore the character’s rather strange history, and in order to do that we have to go back to the original Batwoman, which isn’t the current Batwoman. It was mainly Andrew’s idea. […]
