Cinema Eclectica 137 – Tinky-Winky, LaLa, Dipsy & Edgar Allan Po
An uncharacteristic happiness and contentment falls on the show this week as Aidan, Graham and Rob discuss “Paddington 2”.

Literary Loitering 76 – Cockermouth Tends to Stick in the Mind
While we were trying to figure if Biloxi in Mississippi was a real or imaginary we stumbled upon an amazing correction from the New York. Also, how do you “decolonise” and English literature syllabus? Our featured book is The Lazarus Gate (Book 1 of The Apollonian Case Files), by Mark […]
4-Panel 115 – Black Bolt’s Bad Burrito
More comics and manga can only mean it’s time for another episode of 4-Panel. This week we have the unexpected return of Inhumans-watch! It’s almost as if we’re flogging a dead horse, but who could possibly do that to the Inhumans? Who? (Yeah, sarcasm is invisible on the internet.) Anyway, […]
