    SHOW ME THAT I'M EVERYWHERE AND GET ME HOME FOR TEA

    Somehow climbing out of a river of turds that flows from broken window in Hell, Gary Lactus and The Beast Must Die convene to just try and have some fun for once. It's all here! Talking! Life! Poor sound quality! Fraser Geesin's Patreon! Cats knocking over microphones! Excuses! Comics! Great news inside!

    Covered within this soup are such titles as Monster Fan Club, The Green Lantern, Guy Gardener: Warrior, It's Lonely At The Centre of the Earth and more!

    Oh, and if you weren't aware, we lost a good friend. Help provide support for his family here

    BUGGER THE KITCHEN NAZIS

    Gary Lactus and The Beast Must Die are back to play whilst the cat’s away, listen now as happily they squeak about things such as how  Cindy and Biscuit is doing, (no idea), Andrew O’Neill, Duncing, Passiondale and Small Press Day before scuttling into The Reviewniverse

    Here we find Handlebar Gumbo, Friday, Torse, Jack Kirby’s 2001, Spider-Men: Double Trouble, Looshkin and Evan Dorkin’s adaptation of Bill And Ted’s Bogus Journey.

    WARNING: Contains two songs for the self indulgent hell of it.

    I GET YOUR POINT, YOU’RE SO SHARP

    Gary Lactus and The Beast Must Die are tired and they want you to know it. Thankfully our heroes catch a mighty wind of South London Comic and Zine Fair and before you know it, they’re plugging their own Duncing and Cindy and Biscuit and soaring majestically into The Reviewniverse

    Chloe Green’s A Crying Shame, Bizarre Boys, David Ziggy Greene’s Jam Bookshop, Garbage Pail Kids, Dan and Sam and Blackest Night get talked about. There’s also tribute paid to Chris Reynolds.

    It’s a good episode, see what you think.

    GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON WHY I SHOULDN'T WIN

    Gary Lactus and The Beast Must Die crawl back into your skull and deposit a number of topics.  The big news is dropped in a very special edition of Inside The Wanker's Studio in which Gary Lactus conducts a hard hitting, no punches pulled interview with a name that's about to be shouted so loud by so many that it will echo down the ages, Dan White.  Dan's big book of Cindy and Biscuit is to be published on August 15th 2023 so get ready to buy copies for everyone you know.

    The Beast rejoins Gary as the pair enter The Reviewniverse with Unstoppable Doom Patrol, Garth Marenghi Live, Zero and Michael Kupperman's Patreon.

    Then it's off to SILENCE! (Because The Film's started) where The Beast has seen Guardians of the Galaxy III and has thoughts expressed in words about it.

    After that it's massive relation, moths and away...

    Episode 306: The Mighty Crusaders Number 4 #01

    Here’s a fantastic new project from Channel SILENCE! It’s a deep, deeper, deepest dive into a comic that blew my mind – The Mighty Crusaders Number Four from Mighty Comics, 1966. I hope you enjoy listening to it more than I enjoyed making it. Future episodes in this series will be released on our Patreon page with possible public release at a future date. If you’d like to support this stupid fucking project then feel free to go to https://www.patreon.com/SILENCE and do what you think is right.

    Episode 305: SILENCE! #308

    OH IT’S SO GOOD BABY WHAEN YOU’RE AT THE WHEEL

    Writing these blurbs can be worse than pulling teeth. Lucky for you, I ran out of teeth ten minutes ago so here we are

    Shall we welcome Tom Oldham and Douglas Noble back? Okay then. Do you want to hear a blow-by-pulse-pounding-blow account of Tom’s trip to Angouleme? Fine. That’s what this is. Along the way we talk about:

    Julie Doucet, Sammy Harkham, Coffee, Druillet, Aien Worlds, Richard Corbyn, Jonathan Ross, Midnight Tales, Junji Ito, Bill Brandt, Sarah-Louise Barbett and Kit-Kats.

    How close do you feel to death?

    Episode 304: SILENCE! #307

    A  book is a dream you can hold in your hands
    Music is a dream that can be played by bands
    Dinner is a dream that goes in your tummy
    Drugs are a dream that makes you feel funny
    Chickens are a dream that likes to lay eggs
    Trousers are a dream that covers your legs
    Drawers are a dream you can put things in
    Norwich is a dream quite close to Kings Lynn

    Here's a bit of fun.  The Beast Must Die has run off the the edge of the planet and is falling through space for all eternity (for charity) so Gary Lactus is joined by Douglas Noble and Tom Oldham, the two halves of Dark And Golden.  It is not established which one of them is Dark and which is Golden.  What ensues is fun and interesting until Tom's audio stops recording for some reason so towards the end, dear listener, the podcast decays into judiciously edited scraps before rotting away entirely.

    During the 1 hr 33 mins of this podcast we speak of Breakdown Press</a>, Baby, Angouleme, Croix-Noire, 2000AD Extreme Editions, Peter Milligan's The Dead, Meltdown Man, Rainbow Swelling, Billionaire Island: Cult Of Dogs, Catwoman: Lonely City, Power Comics, The Butterfly House, Clair Napier's The Magic Necklace,  Cowboy Picture Library 410 – Buck Jones The Hunter and more.

    OVER MY SHOULDER, OLDER AND OLDER, THAT'S WHAT I TOLD YA, OVER AND OVER

    Well, well, well if it isn't Gary Lactus and The Beast Must Die crawling back on their knees, begging forgiveness for missing a week of the world's otherwise most reliable podcast.  Angry hoards of ex listeners have verbally and physically assaulted the punctual pair, blaming them for all manner of important, missed appointments because they set their watches to SILENCE!'s famous regularity.

    Thankfully, that's all over now and the two men are back to perform that most incredible feat, talking about stuff.  Stuff like Small Press Day at Gosh, and people like Sean Azzopardi, Molly Stocks, Mark Stafford, Douglas Noble and Fraser Geesin and Dan Cox's comic, Jeff.

    Gareth Hopkins' kickstarter, Explosive Sweet Freezer Razors gets a shout too.

    Then it's off to The Reviewniverse, with Counterfeit Girl, Geezer, John's Worth and Marvel's adaptation of Dune

    Wrapping up, The Beast has watched The Boys and She Hulk and Gary has been listening to The Blindboy Podcast

    There's probably more that I've forgotten but you can find out what that is by listening... NOW!
