It’s a sparse week in animation as not much of interest happened, except for the trailer for Teen Titans Go! To The Movies and the English language summary of The Association of Japanese Animation’s industry report for 2017. The trailer splits opinions between Tucky and Producer Rob, but all is […]

S15E20 – A Horse Called Justice
The Geek Show returns for another foray into the weird happenings of science, technology and the world at large, which this time around include the latest antics from entrepreneur and closet Bond villain Elon Musk, getting porn from newsagents again (ah, technology!), interactive films, robot dogs versus door handles, special […]
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

Keyframe 116 – Giant Furry Space Hoppers
Guillermo Del Toro has signed a multi-film deal with Dreamworks Animation to create “family” movies – which basically means that anything that they churn out that has his name on it is definitely getting watched by us (even if it’s Boss Baby 73: Where Does It All Come From?). In […]
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 […]
