Hellbound Hellraiser 2 is a rare case of a horror sequel managing to hold a candle to its original. At least in our opinions.

What do you think of the ratings?

Don’t forget to check out the full episode for our thoughts

What should we review next?

Comedian, nothing wrong with him as such, but become so ubiquitous it becomes annoying, he's a turn up to open an envelope sort of person. And yes, he has a tedious "food" podcast like everyone else.

I mean, and this name might not mean anything, but just how many interesting anecdotes about food can Ed Gamble have?

8/10 for me where Hellraiser was a 9/10 for its originality at the time, but Hellraiser 2 was just a lot of, well, fun. Bought the "uncut" version bootleg in the 90s. "The Doctor is in..." scene alone is worth it. Only issue is how un hell-like hell seems to be, that's a budgetary issue I guess.

That must be one of the most recent things to vanish that LU has covered! I guess having a very common phrase as its name and the "Jon Snow"/GOT confusion buries it.

@rianjohnson.bsky.social #wakeupdeadman was amazing. Please write a new script for #jonathancreek and persuade David Renwick to let you do it. Ideally based on The Three Coffins or Plague Court Murders. That is all. I'm sure @alandaviescomic.bsky.social would be agreeable...

"We play notes other people won't have anything to do with" is a cousin of "Do you think you'll ever write a spherical song" from Brass Eye.

I'm rewatching it myself at the moment and noting all the odd "future echoes" of Jonathan Creek that pop up.

According to a Pearson advert this is a Year 11 pupil i.e. 15 or 16.

So if police start to look young it means you're getting old, god knows what it means when Year 11 pupils look like the 30 something lead singer of a cover band. I don't even think I look this old.
