Description

Now in our fourth series, we're back and this time around we're talking 1980s films of all shapes and sizes. But not just that, we've got eps on 80s TV, and music videos and more! As ever our episodes include trademark features such as Recastarama (where we recast the film using current actors) and Who Am I (where we work out who we would be in the film). Lots of fun to be had. [Our 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and 1970s series are also available]

99- Local Hero (1980s)

2026/04/12

This week on the podcast Kieran and I discuss Bill Forsyth's 'Local Hero', a film neither of us had seen before, and one which divided the two of us. Along the way we talk quirky vs irksome, Kieran savages 'Asteroid City' and raves about 'Bait', my punk rock youth (or lack thereof), and we compare this film to 'Kraven the Hunter'.

98- Once Upon a Time in America (1980s, Sergio Leone #4)

2026/03/14

In this episode Kieran and I talk about Sergio Leone's gangster epic, 'Once Upon a Time in America'. A long old film giving us much to discuss, both positive and negative. (Expect comparisons to 'Goodfellas' and 'The Godfather' from the outset)

2026/02/19

This week it's another return to the archives from my original podcast, the SpielbergPod, with an episode recorded back in back in 2021.

96- RoboCop (1980s)

2026/02/08

This week Kieran, Paul and I tackle a solid gold classic from the 1980s. Yep, we're here to talk about Paul Verhoeven's satirical vision of the future of law enforcement. Part man. Part machine. All policeman. It's 1987's 'RoboCop'.

86- North by Northwest: The Crop Duster Scene (1950s, One Perfect Scene, Alfred Hitchcock #9)

2026/02/01

In this solo episode, recorded right at the end of 2024, I talk about the iconic 'North by Northwest' crop-duster attack sequence, from Roger Thornhill's arrival on the bus to the explosion of the oil truck.

95- Good Morning, Vietnam (1980s)

2026/01/18

94- Manhunter (1980s)

2026/01/04

This week Paul and Kieran sit down to discuss the Michael Mann film 'Manhunter', and with that comes conversation on the remake of this, 'Red Dragon', as well as the other Hannibal Lecktor films (such as 'Silence of the Lambs'), the brillaint Bryan Fueller show Hannibal as well as the books from Thomas Harris.

8- It's a Wonderful Life (1940s)

2025/12/28

Yet more festive fun today on the podcast as Kieran, Paul and I discuss the Frank Capra Christmas classic, 'It's a Wonderful Life'. And get this - it's their first-time watching this.

2025/12/22

91- The Simpsons: Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire (1980s)

2025/12/08

In this episode, which I believe was recorded around this time last year, Kieran and I- both longtime fans of the show, The Simpsons- sat down to discuss the first episode of the long-running show (as well as our early interactions with the TV phenomenon), 'Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire'.

Easy Does It: The 1983 Oscars

2025/12/05

Picking up mere moments from our last recording, this time around Kieran picks who he would have had as the winners of the 1983 Oscars, giving us both a chance to reflect on the fantastic films of 1982.

Easy Does It The 1982 Oscars

2025/12/05

This week Kieran and I returned to the 'Easy Does It' format, this time with me picking who I would have had as the winners of the 1982 Oscars.

90- Die Hard (1980s)

2025/12/02

Since we're entering the festive season, today seemed like the perfect time to delve into the archives of my original podcast- the SpielbergPod- to revive this conversation from 2016 (!!!), which sees Jake and I discuss the iconic Christmas action film, 'Die Hard'.

7- Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Mouse (1940s, Tom and Jerry #2, William Hanna and Joseph Barbera #2)

2025/11/27

In this episode- recorded in my absence- Kieran and Paul go it alone to discuss the Tom and Jerry short 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Mouse'. (FYI- I wasn't on a sailing trip during this recording, I was travelling from Cowes to London via the Red Jet)

Great podcast on classic cinema

Far too few podcasts focus on classic cinema and instead opt for the same takes on the MCU or whatever. This show is a true original.
