Cinema Eclectica 178 – “Here We See The Wild Billy Connolly …”
This week we’re covering Jeremy Saulnier’s “Hold the Dark” – a film where the icy Alaskan atmospherics are so persuasive, Rob and Graham catch a cold out of sympathy. Fortunately we have a healthy Aidan on hand to guide them through the Blue Ruin director’s latest offering on Netflix. Off […]
Cinema Eclectica 177 – Alejandro Jodorowsky’s Exciting Bus Journey
Are you into shame, but not in a weird sex way? If so, this is the Eclectica for you. Prompted by the recent re-release of Francis Ford Coppola’s “The Godfather”, Rob, Aidan and Mick are looking at the original gangster saga (some of them, it turns out, for the first […]
Keyframe 127 – The Weird Faces of Matt Gurning
This week Tucky and Producer Rob forego the usual niceties and get right down to business, and leading the animation charge is the surprisingly decent magical girl series Matoi The Sacred Slayer. After that it’s the turn of Disenchantment – Matt Groening’s new Netflix series – to be put under […]
PX34 – Which Games Deserve a Reboot, Remake, Remix or Remaster?

Literary Loitering 93 – 2 Little 2 Women
This week Graham and Andrew discover that they may not be the bastions of sanity and elegance that they thought they were as Producer Rob is away, so they now have free reign to take the show in a more studied and genteel direction. Unfortunately their inner cultural anarchists disagreed […]
Cinema Eclectica 176 – Turtle or No Turtle
Graham and Aidan are in luck this week with, er, “Lucky” as Film of the Week. As the last lead role for the legendary Harry Dean Stanton, it’s got pathos, humour and a very odd suggestion on what to do with a lollipop. Shane Black has a new film out […]
4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 6 – Mature Comics on a ‘Serious’ Podcast
It’s time for another episode of everyone’s favourite comics and manga podcast, so join the Comics Sage (Andrew), Old Man Comics (Mick), and Producer Rob as they discuss the good, the bad, and the sometimes particularly ugly realm of “mature” comics – which does not mean porn! When should a […]
4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 5 – Who is Captain Marvel?
While Producer Rob trudges back from the realm of video games in the midlands that he voluntarily got trapped in, it’s up to the Comics Sage (Andrew), and Old Man Comics (Mick), to run the show, so after a discussion about the trailer for Captain Marvel they explore the history […]
Keyframe 126 – Bishounen Mutants
Things get a bit contentious this week because Tucky went to see Teen Titans Go! To The Movies, and now he’s got to convince Producer Rob – who is notorious for his hatred of things like Teen Titans Go! And Ready Player One – to give the animated film a […]
