    Stand up comedian & writer Mary O'Connell talks about her choices - a nuclear war survivor Vampire girl with fabulous hair (who is occasionally an Emo boy voiced by Donald Glover), an Elvis style womaniser dealing with 90s feminism, and a chaotic pair of lovable antagonists who love dragging up and hanging out with their talking cat, and may or may not be doing it in their hot air balloon.

    Jan 18 2023
    Beano & Manga artist Laura Howell talks to me about her choices - a boy who turns into a pig and has the world's worst sense of direction, the big, blue, incredibly late 90s culmination of Warner Bros' Spielberg-led postmodern kids show era, and - representing the recent sexy trend of 'hyper-capable male love interests to wackier, schlubbier women' - Japan's favourite former Yakuza turned suburban Househusband.

    Jack Bernhardt
    Jan 4 2023
    Comedy writer and podcaster Jack Bernhardt talks about his very PTSD Riddled choices - a lonely, grumpy one eyed mutant who thinks she's an alien, a grieving, out-of-her-depth 19-year-old trying to hold the remaining scraps of her family together and a yodellin' cowgirl with a tragic, traumatic past and decades worth of claustrophobia.

    Dec 28 2022
    Tech and Gaming journalist and BBC Radio 3's 'Sound of Gaming' presenter Louise Blain talks to me about her choices - a Bronze Age assassin, a flame haired vigilante hero and a twin pistol wielding, hot pants wearing, sensibly shod icon of female video game characters.

    Dec 14 2022
    Journalist and Podcaster Julia Raeside talks about her very 80s crushes - a Spanish/Japanese cat based interpretation of Jules Verne's intrepid Gentleman Adventurer (who wears a full suit and top hat but no shoes), a French/Japanese scifi reimagining of Homer's original hapless traveller and Britain's ultimate superhero - a stupid man voiced by a clever man. I get to use the 'Anime Dad' klaxon for the first time, which is exciting.
