It’s the turn of Andy and Rob to take the helm of our flagship podcast and trawl the waters of science, technology and general geekery to find some interesting (if a little “fishy”), pieces of news. This week our two erstwhile “captains” discover a disturbing Chinese bootleg poster for the […]

Cinema Eclectica 138 – Brought To You By Vague Existential Despair
It might be Justice League week at the cinemas, but Off the Shelf sees us assembling an international super-team of maverick auteurs. While Rob heads to Japan for Sion Sono’s kill-crazy “Tag”, Graham pops over to Hungary for Ildiko Enyedi’s surreal love story “On Body and Soul” and Aidan takes […]
Literary Loitering 77 – The Handible of Justice
The Word of the Year is upon us once more, which heralds the steady march to Christmas – a time for twisted firestarters and Graham’s favourite index entries. While we were all dealing with fake news though, the Victoria & Albert Museum made another strange acquisition, some Labour MPs reviewed […]
4-Panel 117 – Don’t Taint My Slime With Your Filth!
Andrew, Mick and the other Rob (he’s not a palette-swap – honest!), are here with another heaping helping of comics and manga. This week the gang discuss the new trailer for Deadpool 2, the early reactions to the Justice League movie (which aren’t all pretty), and the return of Kick-Ass […]
S15E07 – Old-Fashioned Robot Dating
This week Graham and Rob get scientific with this year’s Ig Nobel Prize and follow-on from last week with more details about The Lord of the Rings’ leap to the small screen. They also discuss some rather odd news for all you burger and pizza fans out there and the […]
Cinema Eclectica 137 – Tinky-Winky, LaLa, Dipsy & Edgar Allan Po
An uncharacteristic happiness and contentment falls on the show this week as Aidan, Graham and Rob discuss “Paddington 2”.

4-Panel 116 – Arm The Sneeze Torpedoes
It’s time for more comic-book and manga fun, and big things seem to be happening for DC this week with the announcement that the road may be ending for the DCEU and the arrival of Brian Michael Bendis – who finally leaves arch-rivals Marvel after seventeen years. We also find […]
Keyframe 96 – Satoshi Kon’s Anime Sausage
The times, they are a-changing … 45 years after their original team-up, Batman once again joins forces with Scooby Doo and the rest of the Mystery Gang. Meanwhile, Sony complete their purchase of Funimation (a lot faster than we expected), and Anime Ltd. move into music distribution. Our featured anime […]
S15E06 – Anthony Hopkins’ Yoghurt Enema
Rob and Andrew take some time out from their other shows for another blast from patriarch of our podcast family – The Geek Show. Aside from the news that Warner Bros. and Amazon may collaborate on a TV project that nobody is ready for (or may even want for that […]
Cinema Eclectica 136 – Seriously, Don’t Go into the Basement
We’ve gathered the suspects (Ryan, Rob and Graham), in one room and it’s now time to review “Murder on the Orient Express”. Before that though, Ryan tackles the tangled web of intrigue that is Warner Home Archive’s triple-format release of “New Jack City”, Rob watches in horror as Arrow Academy […]
