Andrew Leyland

Andrew reopens the Palace vaults to dig out some musty old comics featuring his favourite character – Spider-Man! Following on from the critically ignored and non-award-winning series about AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, Andrew unearths Kurt Busiek’s retroactive inserts into Spidey lore, AMAZING FANTASY 16-18 and UNTOLD TALES OF SPIDER-MAN 1-6! Do they […]

More randomness as Andrew’s muse suddenly feels like watching old 70’s and 80’s spy dramas starring Edward Woodward. First up, CALLAN – THE MOVIE, a cinematic sequel/prequel to Woodward’s hugely successful drama CALLAN. That’s followed up with Woodward’s equally successful International breakthrough – THE EQUALIZER. Do Robert McCall and David […]

In a special Christmas episode of the Palace Of Glittering Delights, Andrew invites Michael Bailey around to knock back a beer or two and talk over the 2nd of Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man movies. Happy Christmas everybody.

Over 18 months ago, Andrew and family recorded a Commentary for STAR WARS for Andrew’s Birthday. It was alcohol fueled and a tad ribald and some of the gags felt a bit tasteless given real life events but a few days later. Well, life has moved on since then and […]

In a break from the norm, Andrew watches loads of stuff that maybe isn’t good enough to devote an entire episode to but will fill half an hour of time when lumped together. So here for you, Andrew watches the 1978 CAPTAIN AMERICA telefilm, the KNIGHT RIDER 2000 reunion movie […]

With all that’s wrong with the world today, join Andrew on another nostalgic trip to the past where all your problems could be solved by owning a top secret, military prototype which you used to blow stuff up. Yes, AIRWOLF came out on BLU-RAY and Andrew watched them all and […]

Today is the 50th birthday of STAR TREK and in this special episode of THE PALACE OF GLITTERING DELIGHTS, Andrew looks at the much maligned and oft-ignored prequel ENTERPRISE. It’s well worth another look. Inspired by a Facebook conversation with TRENTUS MAGNUS so a big Vulcan Salute to him.

Andrew returns with an episode that isn’t quite as nostalgic as others but still shines a spotlight on a pretty decent hour of Genre TV. It’s the crossover event of the year as Supergirl meets The Flash! And they need 2 colossal bad guys to tussle with. Enter Silver Banshee […]

In the final episode of Andrew’s look at the Lee/Ditko Spider-Man run, the creators seem to run out of steam as Spider-Man faces some mediocre villains and the scripting takes the piss. It’s the end of the road for the finest creative team to ever work on the character but […]
