The two Robs return for a new episode, and they’re greeted with nuclear lightning, the worst blow science could ever deliver to the London tourism board, an ‘intriguing’ use of 3D printing technology and a film to end all films. What else can we say? It is that significant. After […]

Keyframe 98 – Gundam’s Glorious Jazz Hole
The 26 animated feature films that have been shortlisted for an Oscar nomination have been announced so naturally, we’re going to see what all the fuss is about … Before all of that though, our first order of business is visiting Mark who is currently wallowing in mech-hell after his […]
4-Panel 119 – So Much Blood
It’s time for another heaped spoonful of comics and manga with Andrew, Rob and Mick. So the big news this week is the release of the first official trailer for Avengers: Infinity War, and the “accidental” (but technically totally on-purpose), racism from Marvel’s new Editor-in-Chief (silly boy). After that we […]
Literary Loitering 78 – Lie Back and Think of Kierkegaard
Get your ballet dancers and rollercoasters ready because it’s the most wonderful time of the year, and as always the nominations for Literary Review’s Bad Sex in Fiction award deliver. After that exciting opening (pun very much intended), it’s a veritable cavalcade of oddities including Sean Penn’s unknown author, Scrabble […]
Cinema Eclectica 139 – Bright Eyes, Burning like Dracula
Cinema Eclectica is a movie podcast that cares, and this week we care a lot about Christopher Lee’s eyes in “Scars of Dracula”. Do they sting? They look really sore. That’s half of Off the Shelf done, but smashing into it like a telekinetically thrown knife is Rob’s review of […]
Keyframe 97 – Peter Rabbit’s Death Star Fundraiser
The trailer for Sony’s new Peter Rabbit movie is out so we decide to share our thoughts on it (which aren’t very positive to be honest). Then it’s time to get to business with season 20 of South Park and a Pokémon double-bill of Indigo League and the 20th movie […]
4-Panel 118 – Not By The Hair On My CG Lip
Andrew and Mick trade back their new model Rob for the older, more comfortable version this week. The news is cause for some head-scratching as DC’s decide to do a JLA/Doom Patrol crossover with the rather odd title of Milk Wars. Meanwhile, Jude Law may take on the role of […]
S15E08 – Long Live The Termaidenator
It’s the turn of Andy and Rob to take the helm of our flagship podcast and trawl the waters of science, technology and general geekery to find some interesting (if a little “fishy”), pieces of news. This week our two erstwhile “captains” discover a disturbing Chinese bootleg poster for the […]
Cinema Eclectica 138 – Brought To You By Vague Existential Despair
It might be Justice League week at the cinemas, but Off the Shelf sees us assembling an international super-team of maverick auteurs. While Rob heads to Japan for Sion Sono’s kill-crazy “Tag”, Graham pops over to Hungary for Ildiko Enyedi’s surreal love story “On Body and Soul” and Aidan takes […]
Literary Loitering 77 – The Handible of Justice
The Word of the Year is upon us once more, which heralds the steady march to Christmas – a time for twisted firestarters and Graham’s favourite index entries. While we were all dealing with fake news though, the Victoria & Albert Museum made another strange acquisition, some Labour MPs reviewed […]
