School is back in session listeners and this time...its MUSICAL. Fresh off the heels of the disturbing and difficult films of David Lynch, Matt has taken back the reigns of programming and is delighted to dive into the fun, bubblegum world of Grease , which Tyrie argues is actually more terrifying and dystopian. The two T-Birds discuss what made this original High School musical such a smash hit i...

JUNE? David Lynch wasn't sure at first, and neither are we! To celebrate the month of June and their recent completion of David Lynch's LA Trilogy, Matt and Tyrie dive back into the surrealist master's biggest Hollywood film and his biggest disappointment - 1984's epic Frank Herbert adaptation, Dune . Joined by Tripod regular Simon Harvey ( Baron Munchausen, Happy Together ), the gang delve into t...

Alright people here it is; the episode so special Tyrie forgot to upload it. We're talking about Inland Empire. Considered David Lynch's most impenetrable film, it tells the story of a woman in trouble. At least that's what Lynch says it's about. It's filmed entirely on a small mid range camcorder, so while it doesn't exactly look like a silk purse, it generates some transfixing imagery. Stay tune...

We heard you listeners! Last week's episode wasn't long enough!

On this instalment of Reel Quick, the boys discuss Halina Reijn's latest feature: Babygirl! A movie that came out in January and they're just talking about it now? Why? Well not only is it in conversation with the erotic thrillers cover in the DouglASS trilogy, but also because the boys saw it in January and recorded an ep about back then... Then some scheduling things came up and now we're here.....

We hear you folks...we were disappointed by the lack of Douglas' ass in Disclosure too. But hopefully the film actually being ASS made up for it! This week, Matt and Tyrie draw this hot and steamy trilogy to a hot and stinky end, with a very strange film indeed. The boys discuss everything from Demi Moore's fascinating career, to the film's endlessly dump depiction of the VR world. Enjoy! Stay tun...

Hello Listeners!

Let's talk about S-E-X, let's talk about ass, ass, ass! DouglASS that is! Join Tyrie and Matt as they deep dive into the Michael Douglas erotic trifecta from the 80s and 90s, kicking things off with 1987's Fatal Attraction - a film that scared the hell out of Tom Hanks and every man in America! But does it hold up today? Was Alex treated fairly by the slasher-style ending? And does seeing Glenn Cl...

Tripod is back with another of Reel Quick! Hot off the rails of the Denzel Train Trilogy, Matt and Tyrie dive into the latest blue-collar action offering, A Working Man, where the moon is huge and the casinos are swampy.

What if... train ? That's the question this week, listeners! As they pull in to the 2nd station of the 'What If' trilogy, tail-section hicks Matt and Tyrie talk all things Snowpiercer - Bong Joon-Ho's frigid adaptation about a big-ass locomotive and one hell of a journey! P.S. - Sorry we (mostly Matt) mispronounce director Bong's name on occasion - we have since been educated and we will. Be. Bett...

To celebrate the release of Mickey 17, this month the boys will be deep diving into the speculative fiction movies of legendary auteur bong Joon-Ho. Bong has made some of the most daring films of the 21st century, and his film Parasite took home the Palme D'Or and several Oscars. So how do his more out there sci fi films stack up? The boys endeavour to find out! Up first it's Bong's smash hit crea...

Enjoy folks!...

Enjoy the yearning folks. Find Arden's po...

The second episode of 2025 is here and what a whopper it is. Not only are the boys talking about one of the most celebrated films in queer cinema history, Happy Together (1997), they're also joined by a special guest- no a VERY special guest: Simon Harvey.

It's poddin' time people, and what better way to celebrate the month of love than with the Love Trilogy...three films about the wonders, warmth and dizzying heights that love...wait...wait a goddamn second!

Merry Christmas, every one! Or at least it was, until Matt and Tyrie had to watch Bobby Z's 2009 take on this holiday classic. But hey, Tasman is back and he kind of liked it! One man's lump of coal is another man's magical sleigh bell as they say! The guys talk about how strange the characters look in this decidedly bleak film (spoiler alert, it's uncanny), and try to figure out what makes this p...
