This is a great moment to be the Pet Shop Boys. The ultimate Eighties synth-pop duo are having a renaissance right now, just in time for the 40th anniversary of their classic hit “West End Girls.” They have a brilliant new album, Nonetheless, their zippiest of this century and one of their best ever. New fans are discovering them in films like Saltburn and All of Us Strangers. They even scored the ultimate 2024 status symbol: a beef with Drake, after Aubrey Graham used “West End Girls” without permission for “All The Parties.

5 years in the (and 3 years after we first covered it) making, Colin Fleming and John Garside retro sci-fi homage to showreel Sci-fi - Max Neptune and the Menacing Squid - has finally been completed. Described by its creators as “A live action Sci-fi adventure, based on the old 50’s serials such as ‘Flash Gordon’ and Commando Cody," the finished Neptune looks like pure escapists, entertaining nonsense of the highest order. And therefore, of course, makes it worthy of a re-mention. Its looks like they havnt yet been able to secure a full distribution deal, but you can pick up a copy on DVD from the movies official site.
