After 182 episodes and a whole lot of Nightwing butts we’ve finally figured out a new review system, and to make it even better it’s in rhyme! It might only be natural since Andrew and Mick are in control (Rob is on the other side of the planet), and they’ve […]

S16E06 – Schrödinger’s Black Hole
The Internet’s goofiest science and technology podcast returns with the two Robs (or is it Rob and Bruce P. Gigabyte?), taking another little stroll on the wilder and sometimes wackier side of the news. This week we’re kicking things off with the big astronomy news, which is the first real […]
Cinema Eclectica 202 – Surprise Johnson Insertion
This week Mick and Graham go to “Hellboy” and back (which is pretty easy given that the cinema is just a short walk away), to report on Neil Marshall’s euphemistically-described troubled production. Is it as bad as the internet’s made out, or do they want to give it a big […]
4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 29 – Comics That Deserve More Love
4-Panel rides back into town for another round-up of graphic literature goodness, and this week Andrew (the Comics Sage), Mick (Old Man Comics), are having a chat about comics that deserve more love and attention. Meanwhile, Producer Rob (Got Lost At The Checkout), has manga. Lots and lots of manga […]
Cinema Eclectica 201 – The Cult of Kim Newman’s Left Hand
While getting the maximum possible out of the name ‘Hermann Kermit Warm’, Tim and Graham head out West for a review of Jacques Audiard’s English-language debut “The Sisters Brothers”, and revive an old Eclectica staple with Question of the Week. While they were watching Joaquin Phoenix’s ongoing battles with enunciation, […]
4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 28 – Love That Joker!
So we finally get our first proper look at the new, stand-alone movie about the Clown Prince of Crime starring Joaquin Phoenix, but can it match up to Jokers past? Does The Joker need a sympathetic origin story, and which actors played the role the best, the most accurate, and […]
Cinema Eclectica 200 – Tiny Jack Nicholson In My Pocket
Things have been pretty harmonious in Eclecticaville for … blimey … 200 episodes! Now that we’ve reached such a landmark, we thought it might be nice to risk a ruck for this special edition, and have the team cover each other’s favourite movies, First up, road movie hater Rob takes […]
Pro Evolution Narnia In Space – Literary Loitering 102
Some time in the near yet seemingly distant past (which would be around the end of last year), the cultural anarchists gathered to offer each other secret gifts to honour the season of the Jolly Red Northern Obese Man (not to be confused with his relative and arch nemesis, the […]
4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 27 – March 2019 Comics Blowout
March has come to an end, so it’s time for us to attempt another journey up the mountains of comics and manga, but to our horror we’re a man down! So how did Andrew and Rob fare on their expedition? Well, this week they’e got Old Man Hawkeye: The Whole […]
Cinema Eclectica 199 – George Clinton’s Funky Disembodied Head
Sick of articles and YouTube nonsense that describe what movies mean? Well, you’ll get none of that here as, instead of all that nonsense, we dig into what could be the highlight of 2019’s horror calendar – Jordan Peele’s sophomore feature, “Us”. In the second half of the show we […]
