S12E16 – Hardly Working
This week we decided to take a break by the watercooler and chat about the 9-5 working day. While thoroughly slacking off we discuss – well Rob does – whether fishing is a job, RPGs and the sort of simulations that made the 1990s one of gamings finest ages. Reviews: […]
Literary Loitering 44 – The Cronenberg Colouring Book

4-Panel 51 – Beware of the Young Animal
It’s been a spartan week in the news with the announcement of a Cloak and Dagger TV series (which has prompted a lot of questions, many of which are “Who the hell are Cloak and Dagger?”), DC’s introduction of a new imprint and the revival of DC Challenge – this […]
Cinema Eclectica 68 – Carry On Punk Rocking
There’s a Carry On with all this Punk Rock. In Off The Shelf we look at Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s “Journey to the Shore”, the gothic horror “Whistle and I’ll Come to You”, the powerful Glenn Campbell documentary “I’ll Be Me” and the forgotten 1980’s horror “Malatesta’s Carnival of Blood”. Our Feature […]
