This week, Jack chats with Sam Keeper - of the brilliant blog Storming the Ivory Tower - about Rogue One, and Star Wars generally.  More of this next week.

Jack is joined by James Murphy to discuss social care, the NHS, privatisation, and the 'Dementia Tax'... and by Daniel Harper to discuss the US health care system and the AHCA.

Jack is joined by Daniel (again) to talk about freedom of speech.  Oh, and big black cocks. 

This episode is a tie-in with an essay by Josh, and features the two of us chatting about Species (1995), perhaps the very definition of a movie that is really interesting despite being pretty bad. 

The triumphant return of the Shabcast, featuring returning guest Shana talking to Jack about 80s fantasy cinema classics Return to Oz and The Neverending Story.

So, the best year ever draws to a close, which means it's time to kick back and enjoy another tinselly Shabcast... this time featuring EP's new recruits from 2016, Josh, Shand, and Daniel.  And me, obviously.  Have a good one.

This week/month/day/whatever, I'm joined by Kit Power to chat about two Stephen King novels, The Dead Zone and The Running Man, and their respective film adaptations.  Kit and I think these movies have some application to issues of the day.  See what you think.

This time Jack is joined by Jane, Shana, and Daniel, to talk about the brilliant movie Dark City from 1998.  Quizzy joins in too, to the point of sabotage.

Jack and Phil talk High-Rise

Part 2 of Shabcast 24, with Jack, James, Kit and Daniel, talking about Oliver Stone's JFK and Nixon.

The conspiracy is balls, by the way.
