Hello listeners! Tripod is back with another episode. Did you know Saving Private Ryan, Interstellar and The Martian are all instalments of an unofficial trilogy? What's the connective tissue you ask? In each other these films the US Government spends Millions of dollars just to save one man: Matt Damon! In this episode we talk about Saving Private Ryan, which tells the story of a small platoon of...

The night is always darkest before the dawn folks! And it was a dark day in the Tripod booth because it was the end of another TRILOGY! On this episode of Tripod, the boys discuss one of Paul Schrader's less heralded films: Light Sleeper, starring Willem Dafoe and Susan Sarandon. A film that explores paranoia, ennui and aimlessness in the concrete jungle of NYC. Is this film all one big metaphor f...

Oh yeeeeh! The night is still young listeners, and this week Tyrie and Matt are cruising down into the sleek, chic and sexy L.A. The city of angels, stars and the hottest American Gigolo...Richard Gere. The podbrothers chat about writer/director Paul Shrader's creative process, the hugely influential production and costume design of this 1980 film, and of course, whether or not Richard Gere has 'p...

The Tripod boys are pulling an all nighter as they discuss TAXI DRIVER the first film in Paul Schrader's Night Worker Trilogy... Which is technically a series, but we don't have the budget to cover more than three films. That's kinda our whole thing. The discussion covers a wide range of topics while diving into the mind of cinema's most notorious protagonist, Travis Bickle. Enjoy. Follow us at @t...

Two friends cover a film about two friends. I refuse to elaborate further! WHAT?! It's a new episode of Reel Quick and they're covering what will certainly be one of the best films of the year: Nirvana the Band the Show the Movie. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Vertigo. One of the most famous movies ever made. Tyrie loved it. Matt did not. Hilarity, debate and analysis ensues...hopefully. The pod-brothers also wrap up the Oscars (we know it's old news get off our backs!), and conclude the Hitchcock/Stewart Relationship trilogy by discussing the links (if any) between the three films covered and of course their rankings! Stay tuned for the announcement of...

More like The FILM that BLEW too HARD! Am I right or am I right people? Look every now and again we see a master directors work and sometimes it just kinda STINKS okay. So what if we didn't like this thing, SUE us go on see if we care. It's long, the plot is wafer thin. At one point Dr. Meckenna drugs his wife so he can give her bad news. Yeesh, anyway we talk about this and a bunch of other stuff...

Well hold on just a minute here. You're telling me that Alfred Hitchcock made an unofficial trilogy? You're darn right, bucko! And it's starring non-other than American film legend, Jimmy Stewart. In the upcoming three films, the dynamic duo explore what Hitch defined as the three phases of relationships; romance, marriage and loss. In this episode, Matt and Tyrie discuss all things Rear Window -...

It's the MOST wonderful TIME of the YEEEEAAAARRR! Movie fans the world over are rejoicing because the biggest event in the Awards Season Calendar is almost here: The Academy Awards! The 98th one to be specific. Which movie will take home the gold? Which movie was snubbed? And most importantly, what was YOUR favourite movie of the year? After all, it's not about who gets a shiny medal, it's about c...

Okay so, 28 years after Small Soldiers came this...Bone Temple. That's it. That's the whole connection to the previous unofficial trilogy and deserved discussion, so really any connection would have done. Join Matt and Tyrie as they dive into the fourth film in the 28 Years Later franchise, chatting about it's sickening but thematically useful depictions of violence, the wonder of Ralph Finnes, an...

Everybody SHUT UP! New Tripod ahh episode just dropped. The boys are joined by Tasman Aspinall to script-doctormogg the hell out of Small Soldiers- a film they all love but admittedly is not without some... short comings? It's funny because the soldiers in this are small. Anyway, the boys discuss how fun this concept is, the impact it had on their childhood, the Burger King toys they inspired, and...

Well, we had a good run folks, but it finally happened. Tripod finally got POLITICAL! In this 2nd instalment of his War Trilogy, Matt and Tyrie discuss Joe Dante's signature satirical style on full display in 1997's The 2nd Civil War! From cracking jokes to predicting the future of mainstream media and politics, this HBO made for TV movie really has it all...it even has Coburn! Hosted on Acast. Se...

New Year, new TRILOGY! The boys have returned from their summer break to bring you Joe Dante's War Trilogy. Starting off with Matinee (1993) and folks we're just gonna say it...

It's Christmas Eve and Tripod is back for one last holiday gift...but this one is more like a lump of dang coal! In the (merciful) final instalment of the trilogy, Tyrie, Matt and his brother Ben take Disney's Noelle to task, lamenting it's missed opportunities, under-utilised talent and wondering who it's actually for. The mouse certainly has a lot to answer for. In any case, Merry Christmas and...

On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me. A second instalment in the I'm related to Santa Trilogy! Anyway... We're talking about Arthur Christmas. Some believe it is a modern Christmas classic! What do these two hog obsessed clowns think? Tune in to find out. Tune in to also find out what I mean when I say they're hog obsessed... Enjoy!

Ho, Ho, Huh? That's right, Tripod is back for their third and sweatiest Christmas trilogy yet! It's the I'm Related to Santa Trilogy - three films no one asked for all packaged up in a beautiful holiday gift from Matt and Tyrie to you, dear listener. This week, the boys channel their inner Grinch's to talk (and scream) about 2007's family(?) film, Fred Clause. At one hour and forty minutes of pure...

Giddy up, listeners! Bronco Bridges is back for this week's Reel Quick to help Matt and Tyrie celebrate a whopping one-hundred episodes of Tripod! And what better way to celebrate this milestone than with a motion picture classic that everyone saw and everyone remembers...Crazy Heart. Wait...is that right? No seriously...they did Crazy Heart for their one-hundredth? Are they trying to lose listene...

Wow guys. What a journey. We had some laughs. We had some yucks. But here we are at the end of Roberto Rossellini's War Trilogy with Germany Year Zero. It's his less heralded entry in the trilogy, but still a powerful one. The movie is a prayer for empathy and understanding. And the two bozo clowns who host this pod are gonna drool and blubber about it for an hour. Enjoy! Oh and stay tuned to the...
