And I may have got confused between Pterodactyl and Pteranodon.

For those missing Conrad's voice he pops up on another mega city film club today. 

Film club time. Luke Williams joins us to discuss Richard Stanley's Hardware from 1990, and its obvious connection to the Steve MacManus and Kevin O'Neill story Shok!
We then move on to The Valley of Gwangi which Pat Mills probably saw before creating Flesh.

And some Carlos grail pages chosen by Paul.

Sold for £40, and thanks to the generosity of Stephen @Buttonman Watson we were able to make a second chance offer for his badge which raised another £39.

the total is now £15,277.91

Paul Trimble returns to discuss the Titan collection of Rat Pack: Guns, Guts and Glory from 2012. And we also talk about the Enniskillen comic fest (highly recommended), the Battle Fans facebook group, his interview with Garth Ennis, and his upcoming writing for projects by Justin Marriott and Peter Duncan.

The fundraising project is about to wrap up with an upcoming raffle but first there is a quick eBay auction for the Slaine pin badge.
I'm sure you all know the drill by now, 99p start, free postage, and all proceeds go direct to cancer research UK.

Another film club intermission as Luke Aldred and Conrad Leiden return to discuss the fabulous Robocop and its less successful sequel, and to try and work out the connections to Dredd.
Surely you would buy that for a dollar?
