4-Panel 140 – Everyone Forgets About Turkish Superman
It’s time for another dose of that anarchic comic-book “medicine” that your ears desperately need, so join us as we have a chat about a Doom Patrol TV series, and a prequel/origin story spinoff for Gotham about Bruce Wayne’s trusty butler Alfred (which is going by the simple moniker Pennyworth). […]
Cinema Eclectica 160 – Smurf Bloody Smurf
This week we review “Deadpool 2”, and it’s … err … we don’t know actually as that brotherhood of evil comic-book and manga fans called 4-Panel take over the airwaves in a fourth-wall-breaking stunt worthy of the mutated scamp himself. So does it live up to the original? It’s not […]
Literary Loitering 85 – Middle-Class Oedipus Rex
An annual, grandiose and symbolic event is upon us once again, but before we get into all of that we find out that domestic dramas are apparently crowding out traditional fantasy fiction in children’s books. It’s then time for a long-haul art vandal in the family, fake terrorist movie promotions, […]
PX27 – Level Designs by Domino
In a rather odd turn of events, Raw Thrills and Play Mechanix have teamed up with 343 Industries to create a new four-player arcade machine called HALO: Fireteam Raven. In other news, Valve have set out to remove sexual content from Steam by censoring or removing visual novels (but leaving […]
Keyframe 116 – Giant Furry Space Hoppers

4-Panel 139 – Free Comic Book Day 2018
It’s a special day for comic-book fans. A time when rich and poor alike can enjoy the antics of superheroes and villains together … until the inevitable fight over the last free issue of whatever’s popular at the time. That’s right. It’s Free Comic-Book Day which means we have a […]
Cinema Eclectica 159 – When The Dancing Stops … Leave
Our latest Film of the Week, José Padilha’s “Entebbe”, is a tale of crisis, violence, revolution, and the old order breaking down – which is probably why we start off by accidentally junking the running order. Eventually (and with far more discussion of interpretive dance and changing fashions in onscreen […]
PX26 – A Generation of Napoleons
Surprising things are happening this week as Belgium bans in-game loot boxes under the country’s gambling laws – which may have unforeseen repercussions … In other news, drugs are being hidden in old NES cartridges and PC Building Simulator may become part of the IT curriculum in schools. Tune in […]
Keyframe 115 – Curing The Dubstep Flu
It’s the dynamic duo of Tucky and Producer Rob at the helm this week, but don’t worry as we’re absolutely sure we know that we’ve got the good ship Keyframe pointing in the right(ish) direction. Before we get into the serious stuff we discover that Dreamworks Animation have announced a […]
