Trope on a Rope

Tv EN ↓ Odcinki: 31

TROPE ON A ROPE is a weekly podcast where Jeff and his mate Colin, along with their guests discuss and dissect the common movie tropes that have come to define cinema. From the high concept sci-fi mind-f**k that contorts ideas of reality and identity; the young and naive small-town musician who is thrown into the deep-end world of money, high fashion and fame; and the brooding anti-hero whose methods test the bounds of an audiences acceptance; to the grizzled cop that will work the case no matter what their superiors say; the time-loops that allow our protagonist years’ worth of personal growt...

6 - THE GOLDEN COMPASS (2007) - FRANCHISE FALSE STARTS - PART THREE 26.06.2023 1:01:30

So here we are, at the end of our journey as we look at the times movie studios stuffed up their franchise plans so hard that they had to abandon everything after the first instalment. In fact, by finishing this series of films we've managed to do what they couldn't. We started with JOHN CARTER, Tom Cruise's THE MUMMY, and here we are with 2007's THE GOLDEN COMPASS, a film which like the franchise...

5 - THE MUMMY (2017) - FRANCHISE FALSE STARTS - PART TWO 15.06.2023 51:19

Part two of our deep dive into the times movie studios had big ambitions, dollar signs for eyes, and the desire to start their own franchises in the hope they would be money printing machines, only to completely botch it on the first attempt. This week we're looking at Tom Cruise's THE MUMMY remake from 2017, the first and last instalment of Universal's DARK UNIVERSE franchise. At time of writing...

4 - JOHN CARTER (OF MARS - 2012) - FRANCHISE FALSE STARTS - PART ONE 01.06.2023 1:04:09

Hi there, over the next three weeks we're going to look at the curious phenomenon of the FRANCHISE FALSE START, where movie studios confidently bet the farm then biff it on the first attempt. We start with the biggest box office failure of all time (still hasn't been beaten), 2012's JOHN CARTER. Join us as we cover not only the film, but also the reasons why this all fell apart in Disney's lap. If...

3 - BLADE (1998) - PRE-MARVEL MARVELS - PART THREE 17.05.2023 45:29

Welcome to the final part of our deep dive into the world of PRE-MARVEL MARVELS, and what existence was like before the MCU. This week we are looking at the first heroes of the comic book movie renaissance: Mr. Eric Blade the First. So pour yourself a Horlicks, and settle down for 45 or so minutes of audible silk with Jeff and Colin as they ice-skate up-hill like a pair of mother-f**kers. ----- WA...

2 - FANT4STIC (FANTASTIC FOUR - 2015) - PRE-MARVEL MARVELS - PART TWO 08.05.2023 45:30

Welcome to part two of our dive into PRE-MARVEL MARVELS, and what the world looked like before the MCU. This week we're looking at a Marvel property that was more MCU adjacent, the infamous 2015 version of FANTASTIC FOUR, or as it came to be known due to poor poster design FANT4STIC, So pull up a pew and join Colin and Jeff as they pick through the rubble, confusing plot points that go nowhere, an...

1 - THE PUNISHER (2007) - PRE-MARVEL MARVELS - PART ONE 30.04.2023 43:12

Welcome to the first episode of the TROPE ON A ROPE PODCAST, join Jeff and Colin as they examine PRE-MARVEL MARVELS, starting with 2004's THE PUNISHER staring Thomas Jane. Part violent killing spree, part sitcom, all heart. Here we try to explore what comic book movies were like before the MCU dominated the genre for better or worse. Pull up a pew, pour yourself a drink and let the liquid silk of...
