This week Jev and I try to fill a Sylvester Stallone shaped hole in our 1980s movie coverage with a discussion on bonkers cop film 'Cobra'.

This week Mark and I discuss the mermaid romantic comedy 'Splash'. Along the way we discuss the careers of one of the film's leads (Tom Hanks) and it's director (Ron Howard). We also discuss infamous movie extras, New York on screen and the film's wild ending, as well as talking at length about the tv show Through the Keyhole.

Happy weekend everyone! In this episode, which comes with a pre-music introduction...., Paul and I discuss the Nick Park animation 'A Grand Day Out', which was the introduction of beloved characters Wallace & Gromit.

This week we return to the archives of the SpielbergPod with a DVD commentary style conversation Kieran and I had back in 2020 - recorded smack-bang in the middle of the pandemic- on the Don Bluth animated film, 'An American Tail'.

In this episode, I sat down on a muggy Sunday afternoon for a solo chat about police comedy 'Police Academy 3: Back in Training'. Note- there are no swears in here and the conversation isn't adult. I do talk about the X-Men though, a handful of times.

In this episode, I sat down on a grey Saturday afternoon for a solo chat about cop comedy sequel 'Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment'. Note- there are no swears in here and the conversation isn't adult. At least, that's not how I remember it.

In this episode, I sat down on a rainy Sunday afternoon for a solo chat about cop comedy 'Police Academy'. Note- there are no swears in here but there is adult conversation in the backend of the episode.

In this episode - which was recorded a year or two ago and has been sat in my 'to-edit pile' - Jev, Paul and I draw our broadswords and go to battle over the Russell Mulcahy fantasy action film, 'Highlander'.

This week's episode is another one from our SpielbergPod archives, so it's a conversation between Paul and I on the John McTiernan film, 'Predator'. Listeners should note, this is a conversation from 2015 or 2016 and so, unsurprisingly, we make no reference to the films 'Prey' or 'Predator: Badlands' as those films were still many years away at the time (we don't even reference the awful Shane Black film 'The Predator' as this even predates that coming out).

In this short solo episode I continue our Stanley Kubrick coverage with a look at his Vietnam War film, 'Full Metal Jacket'.

So this week we reached episode 400 and to celebrate this milestone I have returned us to the beginning of the show, to Mike Nichols' 'The Graduate' but not by rereleasing our 2017 conversation on the film, no no no no no, but instead by releasing my 2021 DVD commentary of the film- complete with nature audio backdrop I recorded myself in, I think, Richmond Park-, which I previously released over on the Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/ERRP).

In this episode Kieran, Mark and I discuss the John Landis comedy 'Trading Places'. Outside discussing the film we find time to talk about a) which films were topping the box office in 1983 (they year this film was released, FYI), b) the state of comedy as a genre in recent years and c) the current cinematic landscape (up to and including 'The Odyssey' and 'The Invite'). Oh, and Mark gives us a wild recast and I forget what year it is. By 20 years.

Happy National Crème Brûlée Day to all who celebrate. Today we once again return to our SpielbergPod archives (a brand new conversation next episode, I promise) for a 2015 (!!!) conversation with my good friend Jev on 'Twilight Zone: The Movie'.

This week's recording goes all the way back to 2015 (!!!) to a conversation Kieran and I recorded in his home in South London over a cup of coffee about the Steven Spielberg film 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial' which we recorded for our sister podcast, the SpielbergPod.

This week Kieran, Paul and I return to a Spielberg classic by discussing the Nepal sequence from 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'. This gives us a chance to talk about visual storytelling, subtle screenwriting, shots, ponderous walks, fleshing out the character of Indiana Jones and the introductions of Marion Ravenwood and Major Arnold Toht. Oh, and running the one minute mile too.
