The social event of the season is here! Luxuriate in filth & grot, it's the CheapShow 10th Anniversary variety show and meat raffle!

Best allegorical/metaphorical parts of Insomniac #SpiderMan2 • MJ as Scream can be weakened and defeated by the sound of wedding bells. • Venom absolutely batters Kraven and bites his fucking head off outside a movie theater on Times Square.

@the4thsnake.bsky.social It is my personal canon that this dog (seen here in a photo in Aunt May's former house) from Insomniac Spider-Man 2 is that universe's version of Bats, the ghost dog that is a big fan of Spidey. This could be the reason why!

Fantastic chicken & chorizo kebab served in the Station pub down there in Lytham. Fries, salad, flatbread and a little pot of buttery garlic oil for drizzling wherever you feel like. Enjoyed with an Old Mout cider.

Banger of a charity-shop find this afternoon, amigos. Both of the two-disc Network sets of the (surviving) BBC run of The Goodies, £3 for each packed with plenty of special features and extra shite.

@britishcrisps.bsky.social @cheapshow.bsky.social Rather interesting round tortilla chips with a sweet chilli and pungent vinegar flavour, something found in our local Lidl this week. #SnaxStarz

Not even terrible enough to be squeezed into the 'member berries CGI multiverse in the climax of The Flash.

@linkara.bsky.social @allisonpregler.bsky.social @phelous.bsky.social Why oh why had nobody told me about this hidden gem of silly-bollocks '80s movies before today? youtu.be/i0bbpJPzoBk?... Hiroshi Fujioka stars as literally unfrozen samurai warrior transplanted to 1980s Los Angeles.

A little more of my favourite flavour of absolute bollocks, lovingly ripped to shreds by fellow experts in the field of dicking around.

Some absolutely top-flight dicking around from the men who take their dicking around just seriously enough.

The Beast Is Released!!! Check out our first episode! "Sonic The Hedgehog 3D Action Game" Will it excel or will it smell? #boardgames #youtube youtu.be/kOoWRWdw_YY?...

Everybody, meet Maisie. She is a black Labrador belonging to some family friends, and we are looking after her for two weeks while they are on holiday.

Incoming 👊💢💥

Some very rare Italian horrors I have been scheming to get my hands on in full 4k Blu-ray format. I have the VIPCO DVD release of "The Ogre" that calls it "Demons 3", but none of the rest of these made-for-TV movies.

Oh, friends I have bagged an absolutely fantastic horror offering for my Blu-ray collection today! A fantastic spooky small-town mystery, Frank La Loggia's 1988 cult hit, Lady In White. Trailer to follow in the next post.

Yes, a Japan-only PS2 Transformers game that's based on G1 and features fractured timelines and a mix of the Japanese and English names and terms is about as crazy and as weird as you'd expect! WATCH - youtu.be/Rt3zurhbMl0

I'm very much enjoying re-visiting this show on Prime video, especially since every episode comes with the live-action E/I documentary footage that was excised from the Children's BBC airing for time constraints.

The Raimi Spider-Man universe will return, and when it does this better be on the soundtrack.

@cheapshow.bsky.social @e-loud.bsky.social Packing some lovely noodles and my favourite Japanese potato snacks into a mail order from Starry Mart. Loved the "school festival" style noodles, so this new flavour promises more sweet, spicy teriyaki goodness.

You know those "Tornado Potato" things that started popping up for sale at fairgrounds and places like that? Well, what if you could just buy them like normal grocery things, in the freezers at Aldi?

Then your bully writes endless cry-baby hit pieces about you for VICE, makes up all kinds of disgusting lies about you and the talent agency that refused to hire them. Is that right?

Some interesting finds in UK Aldi supermarket's freezer aisles. Personally, I would have preferred them with pita pockets instead of these pizza base-ish flatbreads but that's just me...

Absolutely rocked a day out shoppin' to Blackpool today, friends! For just £6, the Blu-ray version of John Carpenter's Escape From New York found in CEX. A box of lovely French Toast Crunch breakfast cereal! A Wendy's cheeseburger for dinner, that's new in Blackpool now...

Big congrats to @cheapshow.bsky.social on their momentous win at the #GoldenLobes tonight!

Well, goodbye Skype. I guess I'm gonna have to use Teams as my one-to-one Instant Messaging program from now on, for which it is functionally identical so far.

Oh, that's some fun! Thanks to the Internet Archive, I now possess a digital copy of the 2004 #DarkShadows pilot that never got picked up for a full reboot. It's a pity they rebooted the Gulf War first.

@cheapshow.bsky.social the absolute fucking gall of these mercenary cunts. Release Gannon's paranormal passion project, you sorry little collection of shit-flavoured cowards.
