Tripod

This week on Tripod, Matt and Tyrie dive into the wonderful world of Greta "Great" Gerwig with her debut smash hit, Lady Bird. The boys are joined by filmmaker Nissa Mitchell to talk about how this indie darling changed the game, why it stands out amongst the other coming of age films or its era, and how weird it is to see Timothée Chalamet as a side character.

The boys at Tripod are spicing things up with their fourth (that's right fourth!) episode of the Satoshi Kon Quadrilogy! This time the boys DON'T talk about Ice Age (act least not that much) but they do talk about the interplay between dreams and movies, animation theory and we close the book on the tragically short career of Satoshi Kon, one of the greatest filmmakers of all time... Oh and of cou...

Welcome back to Godpod where we're talking about Satoshi Kon's answer to Die Hard - a Christmas film with some goddamn ACTION baby! In this episode, Matt and Tyrie get into the nitty gritty details that Kon was so good at sprinkling through his work, as well as an intellectual breakdown of the Ice Age films that the world has been begging for. Seriously folks there is like 25 minutes of Ice Age ta...

It's entertaining, it's thrilling, it's moving, it's dare I say it a masterpiece, it's Satoshi Kon's second feature film Millennium Actress! The boys really dive deep into this one. They also get distracted by a crane they see out the window. But it gets better, they also do their best (or worst) impersonations of Sylvester Stallone, Richard Harris, Michael Gambon and there's even some Jiminy Glic...

Welcome Tripod fans to the filmography of Satoshi Kon - FOUR films which are not linked by the usual elements like characters or plot, but instead are linked by the genius of one of the worlds most interesting and tragically short-lived filmmakers. In this episode, the amigos dive in to 1997's psychological thriller, Perfect Blue - one of Tyrie's top 4 films, and a film that Matt had not heard of....

In this episode the amigos take a look back at the journey so far. Ten trilogies, thirty films and hours upon hours of slop for the slop gods. Speaking of slop... Matt was also very sick during this recording. He ate some bad food at a food truck, but don't worry, he is alive and well. What were your favourite moments? What were theirs? They also take a moment to look forward, to the future, and g...

Buckle up listeners! The boys are back from their trip through time to bring you another blast of Brendan, closing out the Fish Out of Water Trilogy with 1999's Blast from the Past! In this episode, Matt regales Tyrie in a swill of intriguing by ultimately unverified facts about this film, while Tyrie ponders just what the hell Christopher Walken was doing in that famous final shot. Thanks as alwa...

Look out folks, a brand new episode is swinging in. And this one is a Doozy! The lads have churned out some utter swill on this 1997 family comedy, George of the Jungle, starring everyone's favourite fish out fo water, Brendan Fraser. Enjoy!

Feel a little out of step? Like a babe in the woods? A fish out of water perhaps? Well then this is the trilogy for you! In the curtain-raiser of this 90's Brendan Fraser trilogy, Matt and Tyrie are back to wheez the juice and talk all things Encino Man, buuuuuudddy. The buds talk about Pauly Shore's rocket-powered rise to fame, whether this is the first example of a film studio tryin' to be cool...

Get in loser we're going dancing. The B.O.Y's™ are wrapping up the Trip Trilogy with this 2018 ball room nightmare; the LSD induced Busby Berkeley routine, known as CLIMAX. Matt was none too happy that he had to watch this one, but he'll get his revenge on Tyrie next week after the next trilogy is selected at the end of this ep! Stay tuned to find out just what the hell that is! Don't forget to ra...

On today's episode, Matt and Tyrie go deeper into Gaspar, covering what is perhaps his most controversial film to date, 2015's Love - or as Tyrie calls it, good ol' fashion thumpin'. The boys discuss Noé's unique approach to cinematic depictions of intimacy, wanting more story in-between the sex scenes, and what exactly qualifies as art these days...cos it sure ain't a banana duck-taped to a wall!...

Get ready dear listeners because today Tripod is taking the ultimate TRIP with the ultimate TRILOGY: The Trip Trilogy featuring French Provocateur Gaspar Noe. To kick things off the boys are taking a heady dose of ENTER THE VOID (2009), a film that shocked audiences on release and still manages to shock viewers even today. Matt and Tyrie talk about the pioneering VFX, the existential questions rai...

In today's episode the boys talk about an the icon- the QUEEN- that is Olivia Coleman in her award winning performance in The Favourite; which is incidentally the last episode in our Existential trilogy. Big shout out to Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone too; they both rock. Watch as the boys date this recording waaaaaay before the release of Poor Things as they speculate on what that movie eventually t...

What is existence? What is our own lived reality? Sometimes it is joyous. Sometimes it is melancholic. Sometimes it is the act of sitting through a movie you don't much care for. That was Matt's experience anyway. In this 2nd instalment of Yorgos Lanthimos' Existential Trilogy, Tyrie plays the devil's advocate to Matt's whiney complaints, defending the auteur's grim, dread-drenched family drama, a...

Lobsters are a family (Nephropidae, synonym Homaridae) of marine crustaceans. They have long bodies with muscular tails and live in crevices or burrows on the sea floor. Although several other groups of crustaceans have the word "lobster" in their names, the unqualified term "lobster" generally refers to the clawed lobsters of the family Nephropidae... Anyway this episode is about a...

It's the episode everyone's been waiting for. The Tripod offices have been inundated with fan mail, asking - demanding- that we talk about this milestone in motion pictures. That's right today we're talking The Adventures of Baron Munchausen! Definitely one of the most well known and 100% not cursed movies of all time. A movie beloved by all. An episode that is sure to top the charts. But wait, it...

This episode take a trip with Tripod to Brazil - population, Matt and Tyrie! In the second instalment of Terry Gilliam's Imagination Trilogy, the boys travel to a bleak dystopia of pencil-pushers and apathetic lobotomisers...and they're feeling sick and tired...of this movie? Of each other? Maybe both? Tune in to find out! Follow us at @tripod_show Get in touch at mattandtyrie@gmail.com Artwork by...

Imagine a world where Tripod was back with a brand new trilogy...then STOP imagining and feast your ears on the strange reality of Terry Gilliam's Imagination Trilogy! This episode, Matt and Tyrie take a trip with the Time Bandits, unravelling this hidden gem of 1981, discussing its nostalgic feel, and how kids films have changed in the past few decades. The boys also dig into the mind and career...

On this third and final stop on their way through the Jersey Trilogy, Matt and Tyrie take a closer look at 1997's Chasing Amy. After his much-maligned Mallrats, this semi-autobiographical piece was Kevin's return to critical acclaim. However, it was not without its detractors. So how does the film stack up in modern times and also alongside Smith's filmography? Join the nerds to hear their patente...

Oof Magoof! Here it is folks. Mallrats: Proof that lightning doesn't strike twice (Sorry KS We love you!) It was a critical and financial bomb and it almost put Kevin out of work, but it has since garnered a cult following. And it also kicked started the whole cinematic universe thing. It walked so Marvel could run, and that's worth talking about. And listening to... Please? Follow us at @tripod_s...

It's the start of a new year and that means the beginning of the brand new trilogy! This month, Tyrie and Matt dive into the first three films of the self-made, foul-mouthed, American auteur, Kevin Smith - all of which take place in Kevin's beloved home state of New Jersey. In this episode, Tripod makes a pit-stop at the Quick-Stop to discuss Clerks - Smith's debut, cult-classic film which project...

On this third and final day of Grinchmas, Matt and Tyrie try their darndest to carve into the roast beast that is The Grinch, 2018. But will the highest grossing Christmas film of all time be undercooked? Overdone? Or perfectly plump? The boys also talk all things Cumberbatch, Illumination Studios, and wrap things up with their definitive rankings of all things Grinch! Happy holidays everybody - w...

"On the second day of Grinchmas my true love gave to me, a film staring Jim Carey." Ho ho ho folks, it's day 2 of of Grinchmas and the boys are unwrapping a holiday season favourite: How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) starring Hollywood funny man Jim Carrey. This was a film they loved as children but does it still hold up? Guess you'll have to listen the whole 1 hour and 45 minutes of it to fin...

What's this? A surprise tripod trilogy? Right in time for the holidays?! Well it must be a miracle! A Grinchmas miracle! That's right, for the next three days Matt and Tyrie will be delving into the land of Whoville, summiting Mt Crumpit and trying to grow their shrivelled hearts just a little bit. To kick things off, the boys travel back to 1966 for the TV holiday special, How the Grinch Stole Ch...

All good things must end. It's true of a Gangster's rise to fame AND of this trilogy! This week the friends swap their dusters and big irons for fedoras and tommy guns as they navigate their way through this epic of gangster cinema. They also bid farewell to the Maestro Sergio Leone, who would never make another film. And of course they spin the cruel and indifferent wheel of trilogies. Tune in to...
