Tangent City

Lewis and Kat take a break from Dis Down Under to take a spoilerific dive into the magic that was WandaVision.

Pack your bags, throw on your biggest pair of sunglasses and stick your thumb out to get a ride to Tangent City where we take a look at road trip movies….and what constitutes a road trip.

Be it by TARDIS, Delorian. phone box, superpower or hot tub….who wouldn’t want to be able to time travel to another place, another era, or to see if the 19th century really existed. Jump on board as we crack open a bottle of Juniper Estate’s Fiano and delve into what will surely become a timeless classic....or perhaps more likely a tangent classic.

The Director who we admire for her love of colour, sound and fashion as much as her love of Bill Murray.

Four straight people decide to take a look at the portrayal of the LGBTIQA+ community in TV and film.

We embrace our mates across the ditch with a look at the movies produced by an in the nation next to us, New Zealand. Warning: there's a who lotta accent action happening here.

We made Chris watch Hamilton. Have we converted him to love the musical genre and made him walk away humming those catchy tunes? Or did we waste 2 hours and 40 minutes of his life?

We get the lay of the land from the Tangent City crew on the home of the triple-threat, musicals. Chris joins us on this episode (and manages to stay awake the whole time!) that is dedicated to the genre, how (and if) we like to watch them and some of our favourite performances to date.

How could Cecilia be on this show and us not get to Stephen King!? We talk a delve into his works that takes a lovely tangent but gets back to the author who has given us so much creepy, weird and wonderful.

We decide to celebrate our 50th episode the only way we know how – with a raft of tangents, some deep conversations and talking about human actors turning 50 this year. Buckle up for this bumper episode, people!

With three weeks of sub-40 minute shows, we feel like we’ve redeemed ourselves a little so we thought we’d take a look at some of the redemption stories that have hit our screens.

Rachele brings a new game to the table and we play through eliminating the answers so we can decide What You Doing? After episode 47’s running theme, we were bound to bring sweat into this one!

August is the month of a big Perth running event, the City to Surf, so we thought we’d take a look at running movies, while Lewis keeps us in line for a super-quick, personal best show!

We continue on the second half of Rachele’s 30 day movie challenge, with a healthy number of tangents!

Rachele takes us on a journey through the 30 day movie challenge, which proves to be as interesting as it is difficult!

Cecilia leads us down the track of deconstructionism, which takes us on a winding path through parody laws and movie influences. We also learned a great lesson: don’t stand between Rachele and her chorizo!

We talk background music and the (sometimes underappreciated) people who create it in this episode with Cecilia, Lewis, Rachele and Katherine.

From movies we’ve seen where it’s a one and done, to movies that are just too long to revisit, and let’s not forget the movies that we plain hate and wanted our time back, we chat about movies we’re never watching again. Word of warning this was a pre-record designed to be played when Kat and Lewis were going to be away. It was done a while ago so we do talk about the corona virus in it’s very ear...

Lewis gives away America’s Arse, Rachele finds her movie journal from 2006 and shares some pearls of wisdom, and we get stuck into some comfort food movies. Anyone for mac and cheese!?

Turns out Lewis, Rachele and Kat were all raised in front of the TV, so a dip in the pool that was 80s and 90s animation and children’s television was inevitable.

Cecilia, Rachele, Kat and Lewis take a look at women in cinema on this international holiday.  From Cinderella passing the Bechdel test to Deadpool acknowledging this internationally recognised day we manage to have a laugh and get up on our soap boxes.

Tangents happen, people. Without Cecilia’s guidance, we go completely off track bouncing from zoos to burlesque with a side serving of cricket and swimming.

We continue on from last episode with the second half of the Best Film nominations of the last decade. We’re not sure what the lapsed Catholics talking about va jim jam Christmas says for organised religion, nor our podcast.

With a new decade underway, and the Oscars on their way, we take a look at the last decade of Best Film nominations but not before getting a little hung up on the side effects of some chips.

With some amazing movies being produced bringing the sobering experience of the frontlines to our screens, we thought we'd touch on just some of the movies out there in the war genre. Oh! And if you need to exorcise the whistle tune ear worm, The Bridge Over the River Kwai is streaming on Amazon Prime.
