After looking at the winners and one big loser from Cannes 2019, it’s time for Eclectica to return to its B-sides series where we look back at recent films that we weren’t able to cover at the time of their release, and this week are “Fighting With My Family”, “Birds […]

4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 33 – Spider-Man And His Amazingly Weird Villains
Spider-Man: Far From Home is due out in cinemas very soon, and audiences will finally get to see Jake Gyllenhaal’s Mysterio in all his goldfish bowl glory, but that got Andrew, Mick and Rob thinking about the web-slinger’s vast cavalcade of criminals. So this week we’re ditching the Electros, Scorpions […]
Cinema Eclectica 206 – Assiety of Sassassins
It’s time for “John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum” or Wick in a Box or whatever it’s called, and before Aidan and Graham adjudicate the ultra-violence like a glove-carrying Asia Kate Dillon, we’ve got a Question of the Week where we ask for your favourite threequels. On the other side […]
4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 32 – Free Comic Book Day 2019
The first Saturday of May has passed, and as is traditional the 4-Panel gang take a break from their usual shenanigans to pan for gold in the river of free comic books. So what nuggets (golden or otherwise), did Andrew and the back-from-overseas Rob find? Well, there’s The Avengers (also […]
Cinema Eclectica 205 – The Beast of Estonian Craggy Island
Three misfits alone in the dark empty vastness of a cinema showing a Claire Denis movie, Aidan, Sarah and Graham gather to review the French maverick’s latest epic voyage, “High Life”. We realise it may sound tempting, but do not allow Juliette Binoche to show you her box. A full […]
S16E07 – Sweaty Jessop’s One Hour Photo
After a slightly extended break the weirdly funny stain on the wallpaper of technology and science news podcasts returns to deface your walls. This week the Robs kick things off with a look at the rather disturbing trailer for the live-action Sonic the Hedgehog movie. In other news, Facebook finally […]
Cinema Eclectica 204 – The ADR Doggies Bite Back
Liberated from Hull, Graham settles in with Rob for a preview of perhaps the strangest sports movie ever made – Gabriel Abrantes and Daniel Schmidt’s “Diamantino”, with its gene-tampering weirdness, lesbian drone pilots and floof bois. It’s not the last dog cameo on the show, but it’s surely the best. […]
4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 31 – Avengers Endgame SPOILER-CAST
Join Andrew and Mick as they embark on an in-depth discussion about what may become the most successful movie of all time. That’s right. They’re getting into the nitty-gritty of Avengers: Endgame for a no-stone-unturned investigation of the good, the bad, and the Thanos, which means this episode is going […]
Cinema Eclectica 203 – What Fresh Hull Is This!?
Graham’s stuck in the quantum realm, so it falls to Rob and Mick to travel way back in time through the many years they spent watching all of the movies leading up to “Avengers: Endgame”. It’s already made more money than there is in the world, but did the Eclectica […]
My Life In The Bum Of Ghosts – Literary Loitering 103
The cultural anarchists have gathered for another edition of the notorious books and arts podcast that keeps threatening to make sense while at the same time keeps sliding down the slippery slope of art-house podcasting (you know, five minutes of silence, someone repeating the word peanut for ten seconds, a […]
