Aside from the fact that Medusa’s hair will only last one episode in the Inhumans TV series, there’s some whitewashing controversy in Hellyboy and Warner Bros. want to make movies about the Joker. Our featured book and comics are Ultimate Marvel, MULP: Sceptre of the Sun #4 and Weapons of […]

Cinema Eclectica 129 – Underworld Duck and a Lizard Sandwich
Inspired by the late Harry Dean Stanton, whether it’s fearlessly wading into the debates over controversial new releases or creating singularly unappetising food metaphors, we don’t give a duck. In Off the Shelf, Rob and Graham review a double-bill of Italian horror from Arrow with Mario Bava’s “Kill Baby, Kill” […]
Cinema Eclectica 128 – TAG! Stephen King’s It!

Cinema Eclectica 127 – We Don’t Talk About the Monkey Ghosts
We wait ages for Rob to return, and when he does there are the two of them! Not only that, it’s a dramatic return as he struggles to get to grips with Seijun Suzuki’s unclassifiable “Zigeunerweisen” – and yes he did practice his pronunciation. Clever Boy. The rest of Team […]
4-Panel 104 – A Terrible Ninja Infestation
We had a couple of technical issues which have caused a slight echo in this episode. Elsewhere in the greater realm of comics there was a terrible press panel for Inhumans, Karl Urban is in talks to play Judge Dredd again, Netflix buys Millarworld and Disney are to launch their […]
Literary Loitering 73 – Invest Your Didlum Wisely
It’s a mixed bag of happenings this week with unfair tax rules, books on politics by Nick Clegg, time capsules by Chuck Palahniuk, actors for Good Omens, photographs of doors, fieldwork fails, the anatomy of Pokémon and lots of swearing. Tune in to The Geek Show Podcast Network for all […]
Cinema Eclectica 126 – 999: Emergency Services Number of the Beast
It’s a photo negative show this week as we cover new releases instead of our usual Off the Shelf, and have a retro title as our Film of the Week. Adding to the sense of a world turned upside-down, one of the films manages to freak-out our resident horrorphile. What […]
Keyframe 86 – A Harem of Wolverines
One Piece is apparently getting a live-action adaptation, and we’re very curious about how this is going to be accomplished.
