Literary Loitering 98 – Badgers Don’t Knit
Literary Loitering returns for another year of cultural anarchy, and with all the gang present and correct there should be nothing to stop us! Except for technology (apologies for the poor audio quality in parts of this episode). Anyway, the show must go on as they say, and this week […]
4-Panel Volume 2, Issue 19 – Who’s That Titan?
Fans of DC’s Teen Titans franchise have generally been well served when it comes to TV adaptations of the adolescent hero team.

Cinema Eclectica 190 – Silent Power, Noisy Door
He’s been to Director’s Jail, served his Director’s Probation, and is now worryingly close to being a repeat offender (according to Mick, Graham and Aidan that is). It’s M. Night Shyamalan, whose trilogy-capper “Glass” is put under the magnifying lens as our Film of the Week. A packed Off the […]
Keyframe 135 – Coming Up in 2019

PX38 – What Would Make You Boycott A Game
Tis the season to be grumpy, and nobody complains like a gamer (or spits their pacifier out/throws their toys out of the pram). Now there are plenty of reasons to complain about a game (micro-transactions, pay-walls, pay-to-win, gorily-detailed hunting, forcing developers to censor their games after signing exclusivity contracts, etc), […]
Keyframe 134 – 2018 (The Good Side)
Now that we’ve got all of the bad stuff from the last year of animation out of our systems it’s time for the Keyframe gang to talk about the good things that were released during 2018. With that in mind, gather round fellow fans as we take a long and […]
Cinema Eclectica 189 – New Queen, Who Dis?
Eclectica is back in 2019 for an Oscar season like no other. There’s a film about a famous author and one about a British monarch, but this time the more literary of the two sees Keira Knightley putting the bi in biopic for our film of the week “Colette”. As […]
