  • 113- I Wanna Hold Your Hand (1970s, Robert Zemeckis #1)
    Jun 1 2025

    In this episode- recorded back in the midst of the pandemic- Kieran and I discussed Robert Zemeckis' debut feature film, 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand'. This was a film we both enjoyed but certainly had issues with. So you can expect us to talk about the pros and cons of this film about a bunch of teens in 1964 going to New York to try and see The Beatles perform on The Ed Sullivan Show. We also compare this to other films Zemeckis worked on from 1941 to the Back to the Future trilogy to Forest Gump and beyond!

    This episode originally aired on my sister show the SpielbergPod in early 2023.

  • 112- Fawlty Towers: The Germans (1970s, British sitcoms #1)
    Jun 1 2025

    In this episode- recorded at some point back in 2023- Kieran, Paul and I discuss the British sitcom Fawlty Towers through a conversation on the iconic episode 'The Germans'. And we have much to chew on with this episode, from the ways in which this has dated, so-called 'cancel culture', the proposed sequel show (which I guess never happened) and the relationship between the UK and Germany.

  • 82- The Blues Brothers (feat. Liam Dempsey and Paul Willson from Spocklight: A Star Trek Podcast, 1980s, John Landis #3)
    May 19 2025

    Okay, today it's a very special episode. Firstly, because I'm talking about one my favourite films of the decade- John Landis' 'The Blues Brothers'- and secondly, because I'm joined once again by Liam Dempsey and Paul Willson, two of the hosts from Spocklight: A Star Trek Podcast.

    And we have much to discuss with this film and beyond. You can certainly expect us to examine the careers of Landis and his leads, Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi (commenting on the films '1941', 'Ghostbusters, 'Beverly Hills Cop 3', 'Blues Brothers 2000' to name but a few).

    So sit back and relax, pour yourself an orange whip, and listen as we discuss a stone-cold classic.

  • 80- Willow (1980s)
    Apr 13 2025

    In this short solo episode- recorded a few days after the passing of Val Kilmer- I talked about the Ron Howard fantasy film, 'Willow'. A film which- I'll be honest- I'm quite critical of, epecially when comparing this to The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars (but don't worry, I have nothing but praise for this film's leads of Warwick Davis, Joanne Whalley and Val Kilmer, who all deliver top-tier work).
