Episode 167
Tuesday, 23 December, 2025
In this episode of ScreenTone Club Elliot and Andy gather around the Christmas Tree and hand out presents to good children. To the girl who is secretly a human-devouring monster: a powerful cleaning agent to help get troublesome bloodstains out of fabrics! To the boy who has been kidnaped by Reverse Santa and taken to their arctic circle base: some warm knitted gloves, the kind which work with touchscreens! And to you, our lovely listeners, we have another episode of our podcast. No, you can't return it to Argos for cash, you cheeky sod.Series Discussed: Common-Sense Monster, Black Night ParadeAssignments for next Episode: Love Bullet, Cat's EyeTIMECODES:0:02:15 - Andy’s Pick: Black Night Parade0:04:45 - “THATS A CRIME”0:10:00 - A main character who loves getting hoisted0:15:15 - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Vibes0:20:15 - “Gender has slid off of him”0:28:00 - Will we keep reading it?0:30:30 - A note about availability of Arakawa under the Bridge (as we keep referencing it)0:32:30 - Elliot’s Pick: Common-sense Monster0:33:00 - Recommendation: Read it without looking anything up!
