The strange alleys and weird streets of science and technology news need strong men to patrol them, but since they all have the day off it’s time for Andrew and Producer Rob to surreptitiously skulk around. Skulk is such a good word, isn’t it? Anyway, this week’s discoveries include a […]

4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 10 – Some Spooky Horror Comics
It’s Halloween, so we’re using that as an excuse to talk about some spooky scary comics and manga. There are plenty of suggestions for the discerning horror and supernatural fan including little known Eric Powell’s Hillbilly from Albatross Comics (which Producer Rob covered many moons ago), Mike Mignola’s Hellboy and […]
Cinema Eclectica 181 – Drug Smuggling: Tetris Edition
This week it’s “Halloween” (the movie, not the day), and Graham, Aidan and slasher superfan Ryan are assessing the shape of things with David Gordon Green’s new reboot … sequel(?) … thing? Mark is here as well to explain what the new Halloween’s historic opening weekend means for horror movie […]
Literary Loitering 94 – Tanned Gingers From Outer Space
Apparently there’s a new way to become a published author – get a job in Trump’s White House and get fired from it. Our resident cultural anarchists return to offer up a heap of interesting tidings from all sorts of places, beginning with Anthony Scaramucci who lasted in his role […]

It’s time for another episode of 4-Panel, so join Andrew (Comics Sage), Mick (Old Man Comics), and Producer Rob as they investigate the history of the latest villain to go up against Daredevil as the Netflix series enters its third season. So who is Bullseye? Suffice to say that he’s […]
Cinema Eclectica 180 – Stan Lee is Fozzie Bear
Two mysterious drifters converge on a lonely podcast to cover “Bad Times At The El Royale”. Drew Goddard’s follow-up to “The Cabin in the Woods” has an enviable cast, but can it escape from under the big-chinned shadow of Tarantino? This week’s Off the Shelf has a theme, and that […]
PX35 – What Counts As Video Game Merchandise?
Merchandising has long been part of the lifeblood of entertainment and media (who wouldn’t want a plushie of the Demogorgon from Stranger Things), but sometimes the products associated with a particular title can head in some strange, disturbing and bizarre directions. After a quick chat about the games that they’re […]
4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 8 – What Makes a Good Crossover Event?
If you’ve been reading comics for long enough you’ll have the first-hand experience of cross-over events, ranging from the good (The Infinity Gauntlet, Crisis on Infinite Earths), the strange (Justice League Vs. Suicide Squad), the bad (Civil War II), and the truly awful (Secret Empire). Join the Comics Sage (Andrew), […]
Cinema Eclectica 179 – When Life Gives you Razor Blades
It’s time for another superhero(?), which means that our usual gang have been waylaid (again), and 4-Panel have stealthily taken over. Together this grizzled, rag-tag and hard-hitting team take on the might of “Venom”, and like all the washed-up journalists in the Last Chance Saloon they spill ink all over […]
S15E28 – MC BoJo’s Christmas Rap
We apologise for the lateness of this episode – EGX happened so please look forward to our coverage of the event. Anyway, Rob joins Producer Rob for another jaunt through the strange hinterlands of science, technology, culture and society where oddities tower like … well … very odd things really […]
