WHEN I SAW MUSHROOM HEAD, I WAS BORN AND I WAS DEAD It's the Drifting Reviewniverse #3 and Gary Lactus, Al To Astonish and Maid Of Nails are supposed to be examining Ghost Rider #11 (Marvel, 1975). Unfortunately Maid Of Nails has gone missing and the adverts are far too interesting to concentrate on the comic itself. Despite this and quite amazingly, what you have here is an hour and a half of enthusiastic dissection that covers less than half the comic! We're going to have to dive back in for Part 2 next week.

Drifting Reviewniverse? Random Reviewniverse? Adventure into Indeterminacy? Let's read with Ian Determinate? The idea is simple. A random English language comic from the last 90 years or so is chosen, read and talked about.

More kicks and hits than you could reasonably kick or hit! Who's winning? YOU! Unfortunately the sports chat gets somewhat derailed by talk about gigs and the 90s before Gary Lactus and The Beast Must Die get sucked into The Reviewniverse where they find Joe Wilkinson: My Autobiography, Elf Quest, Cerebus, Viz (Gary's got a strip in it!) and Proustian comics in general. Following that, there's a lovely bit of SILENCE! (Because The Film's Started) in which The Beast Must Die has seen The Flash. All sport is finally forgotten as the hosts reckymend Comfort Blanket, Allan Quartermain and the Spear of Destiny, Blood & Flesh: The Reel Life & Ghastly Death of Al Adamson and Gary just won't stop going on about his Patreon.

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!

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.

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...

I CAN THINK OF NO WHERE I WOULD RATHER BE, READING MORNING PAPERS, DRINKING MORNING TEA No blurb this week as we're all swarming around the centre of the hive, desperately hoping to mate with the Queen. As we all know, some weeks are longer than other weeks and it really has been a particularly long week since last week's episode. Despite this and even though The Beast Must Die has covid we still managed a pod like particularly brave soldiers. Soldier Gary Lactus sliced his thumb quite badly but still managed to get to Who Am I Now, the exhibition of paintings by Glyn Dillon. Soldier The Beast Must Die saw Doctor Strange: Marble Madness!. He didn't like it and on the podcast he doesn't like it for a long time. Delicious! Let's go now to Reviewniverse, with Captain Britain, Light Brigade, Statics and Omege The Unknown of course. Seeing us out it's a reckymend of Paul O'Connell and Rhys Wooten's No Garnish podcast and The Beast Must Die's experience at Steve Walsh's Memorial.

OH MOTHER DEAR WE SADLY FEAR THAT WE HAVE SOILED OUR MITTENS Another week, another blurb. People often ask, "Hey! How do you keep your blurbs so fresh and new, week in, week out? It's amazing! You're amazing! How can I be like you?". Well, we here at SILENCE! Blurb Inc. are tired of this question. So tired in fact that we're now offering our SILENCE! Blurb Writing Masterclass. Learn from the best to realise your potential in the lucrative field of Blubcraft. Packed with high profile contributions from Todd Carty on how to find inspiration, Danny Dyer on the impact of brevity and Neil Gaiman on the power of blurbs. Send your £500 to the usual address. The tired dads return and Gary's been selling off parts of his collection! Both Gary Lactus and The Beast Must Die have been guesting on Shelf Dust Presents The War Effort. The Beast has been enjoying Paul Morley's biography of Tony Wilson and the surprisingly heavy inclusion of Kieron Gillen therein. There's a non-review of The Eternals and chitter-chatter regarding the SILENCE! Juniors' emergent relationship with super heroes and Gary's quest for space. Sadmin. The tragic loss of Steve Walsh and Garry Leach. The chaps pick themselves up with the exciting birth of Dark and Golden and the peculiar pleasure of comics speculation. Off, down and away into The Reviewniverse with Mek Memoirs, Kamen Rider, The X-Cellent, Orphan and the Five Beasts, Step By Bloody Step, a comic called Uncanny X-Men and The Sharkfighters of course. Then with a yawn we learn that Fraser Geesin will be at the Brighton Illustration Fair on Sunday 1st May, The Beast went to the London Comic Mart and that finding your own comics for sale secondhand really makes you feel like you've made it.

I'M GOING TO FAST! I GOT NO BREAKS ON MY ROLLER SKATES! Hi, come this way, that's right, just through here. Now, our first exhibit is this collection of bricks. As you can see there's five in total. Two of them are the same and one of them is made of latex. That's right! It's a stunt brick! Then over here we have a wooden duck painted like Superman, right next to this wide-necked plastic bottle with some piss in it. Well that's it. I hope you've enjoyed your tour of the Museum of Gary Lactus. Oh, I almost forgot, here we have a classic blurb written by the human disappointment himself. Two men! One pod! Some saucy innuendo! Some sentences ending in exclamation marks! After a break, Gary Lactus and The Beast Must Die reacquaint themselves with a bit of chat about Douglas Noble and pal's A Pocket Chiller series, not doing comedy and an imaginary space battle between billionaires. Then it's off to a bumper Reviewniverse with Simon Hanselmann's Crisis Zone, Jack Teagle's Collected Madness, Fight! and Teagle Comics, Cinema Purgatorio, Nick Edwards' It Had To Be You, Doctor Tom Brent - Young Intern, Battle, Walls' Chill, Sean Azzopardi, Orphan and the Five Beasts, Mr. Men and Battle Action Force of course. Then it's away but not before you are urged to buy John McRea's stuff to help him through a pretty devastating bout of long covid. See you next week! Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to a very special SILENCE! in which two masters of the craft sit down in conversation with each other. Gary Lactus and The Beast Must Die have somehow managed to secure Dan White and Fraser Geesin for an in-depth chat about their latest comics.
