BitR exclusive patron feed!

Loz returns as we head up to the Roof Garden to ruminate over Corum's endless jawing with a slightly dubious sorceror in The Knight of the Swords Book Two.Multiple varieties of pants are considered along with a couple of actually palatable beers. Progress I say!

We did it... we ploughed straight into the Robert Clouse (Enter the Dragon) directed Canuxploitation adaptation of The Rats and talked it over exclusively for you, our fucken ace patrons.Small dogs dressed as rats? CHECKGore and death? CHECKReferences to the touching, probing or stroking of thighs? NONE WHATSOEVERIt was a surprisingly agreeable experience.  Now... we must watch Slugs, or we may just have to break up over it.ENJOY!!!

It's Halloween, so Phil and I enjoy some spooky old fashioneds and engage with the horror of James Herbert's 1974 debut novel, The Rats!It's got the lot. A creepy hero... out of order tramps... vicious critters... and an abundance of thigh references!

Finally, the Spheres align and Hussein and I manage, after ten months, to get it together and look at Phase Two of The Final Programme.We talk about Mike's uncanny prescience, wrestling in Featherstone Library, and Hussein rags on sci-fi again. It's a fun time all round.Also, GAC reaches the village of Treybach. Foxes may be abroad.

We're back, and this time Phil joins me at Derry and Toms to conclude our coverage of The Eternal Champion.Turns out Erekosë is just a horny jock. Who knew?Also, we find that if you're being peer pressured into genocide you just need a bath, dinner and an intervention... it's just so relatable! (EDIT: I thought I'd been a fancy pants by embedding the podbean feed in this post but that didn't carry through to your exclusive patron RSS feed, so I've reverted to the previous method - Thanks Fred for pointing this out)

Phil, Loz and I celebrate an all too brief interlude in lock down life to drink weird porters and muse upon Moorcock's treatment at the hands of tabletop role-playing games.Phil taunts us with her syrupy beer avoidance skills and Loz gatekeeps Moorcock RPG play (the rotter).Also, The Journal of Gerard Arthur Connelly debuts with chapter one.  I was in two minds as to whether I should dump it all out in one go but decided on the serialisation route.

Tash returns from her exile in Sri Lanka and finally we get together after a four month Covid delay to finish The Jewel in the Skull.  Stand by as we flatten the curve!REEL at the variable sound quality as my Tascam once again has to do some heavy lifting.MARVEL at the disagreements over the last few chapters.HOWL at Tash's toilet allocation of an all new (to me) classification of a certain type of fantasy novel.SHOEGAZE to the mellow sounds of Breakfast in the Ruins by the mighty Giantkind.

We’re back.The Eternal Champion continues on his crusade to defeat the enemies of humanity and further proves himself an absolute duffer with the ladies.Phil reveals a penchant for watching extreme violence against Ewan McGregor and Channing Tatum.I wring my hands at the horror of it all.JOIN US!
