September 20, 2025 308: Lovesick
Rob Ellis joined me at the Lawless convention to discuss an unusual book by the Italian creator Luana Vecchio. Content advisory: this book features a lot of sex, violence, and suicidal ideation. It's not for everyone but if you are not deterred then both the digital and paperback versions are still available.

September 13, 2025 307: The Sweeney!
Get your trousers on, you're nicked! The old school film club wants to tell you about fags, slags, blags, and Jags. John Caro joins us to discuss two films about hard nosed British coppers in the late 1970s. Can we make the link to the comics that we love so much, and can we work out why everyone in these films is so miserable?
Find Conrad at SpaceSpinner2000.com, join John on Mastodon and find his published work online here.

August 30, 2025 305: 28 Years Later
For this film club episode we dodged hordes of the rage infected to end up in another London dungeon! Damian Lubanski earns his fifth star and covers one of the big horror films of the year. We are pretty spoilerific for the first two films in the series. We also discuss the character from British television history who turns up at the end so if you want to avoid that spoiler skip from 31:47-35:17

Damian also recommends the movie Weapons and the unusual Channel 4 puppet show Don't Hug Me I'm Scared.
