Easy Riders Raging Podcast

Expect plenty of quotes and load of teen movie talk as Mark, Paul and I discuss the comedy cult classic, 'Heathers'.

In this episode, recorded live and in-person on Boxing Day 2024 with my sister (Amanda) and my brother (Lee), we did a fantasy draft on our favourite TV theme tunes of all time, and had a great time doing so.

Since we're in the holiday season, and we're in the middle of our 1980s season, it seemed like the perfect time to re-release the SpielbergPod episode Becky and I recorded on Joe Dante's horror comedy classic, 'Gremlins'. And this episode was recorded all the way back in 2015 (it was the first podcast I recorded over the internet, since Becky lived in Canada at the time of record). One thing I wou...

Getting creepy at Christmas, this week Kieran, Paul and I discuss the episode 'And All Through the House' from horror anthology show, Tales From The Crypt. In case you're not familiar with this, it sees a woman murder her husband and then get attacked by a derranged killer Father Christmas, and it's directed by Robert Zemeckis. (This is well worth watching on YouTube if you've never seen it before...

In this festive episode, Kieran, Paul and I discuss the video for Wham!'s 'Last Christmas'. A conversation which sees us all fall for the charms of George Michael, we question what Andrew Ridgeley did in the band and I get lost trying to follow the narrative of the video.

In this episode me , Paul and - NEW GUEST KLAXON !!!- our good friend , Mark are talking James Bond , specifically Timothy Dalton ' s James Bond and the film , ' The Living Daylights '. As ever we have much to discuss , from Mark ' s James Bond fan club membership , my history as a cellist , the best Bond films , Jason Bourne ' s key ring and the guy still being trapped in the sofa all these years...

In this episode, recorded back in 2021 (during the height of the pandemic), Kieran and I work out our favourite films set in the 1950s (that weren't made in the 1950s). This episode was recorded as a Patreon exclusive episode (over at https://www.patreon.com/ErrP) but now it's free to listen to, for your audio entertainment. Enjoy!

In this episode Kieran and I return to the world of 80s music videos with a solid gold classic: yep, it's Queen's 'I Want To Break Free'. A video set half in a fantasy land, half in a house in Northern England, with the band appearing in drag. Unforgettable stuff!

Hello! In this One Perfect Scene episode, Paul and I tackle the scene in 'The Shining' where Wendy reads her husband's derranged writings (All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy) and builds to their conflict on the stairs. A masterful sequence from Stanely Kubrick that gives us much to chew on.

In this episode- recorded back in late 2022- Kieran and I return to the 1950s with a discussion on 'Ikiru' from director Akira Kurosawa. And if you've never seen this film, it's a masterpiece. A solid gold classic. This episode was recorded as a Patreon exclusive episode (over at https://www.patreon.com/ErrP) but now it's free to listen to, for your audio entertainment. Enjoy!

In this episode (recorded on Alien Day in 2023) Kieran, Paul and I return to the 1950s to discuss 'The Quatermass Xperiment', a cracking British sci-fi horror movie from director Val Guest. Along the way we find time to discuss Dame Thora Hird, how electricity works, the Species films, 'trains stuff' and the (then) upcoming royal coronation. This episode was recorded as a Patreon exclusive episode...

In this solo episode on the film 'Early Summer', I complete the ERRP coverage of Yasujirō Ozu's 'Noriko trilogy'. And there is much to talk about with this movie: how it compares/ differs from the director's earlier work 'Late Spring', visual metaphors the filmmaker uses and how I personally relate to this story.

Okay, this week I once again return to the SpielbergPod archives and to three episodes recorded back in 2015/2016. And these cover 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' (which I covered with Jake), 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom' (which I discussed with Paul) and 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade' (which Kieran and I talked about). So obviously, these were recorded many, many years ago (before 'Dial...

In this episode Kieran and I continue our coverage of classic advertisements with a look at the Nescafé ads featuring the Gold Blend couple (Anthony Head and Sharon Maughan). So you can expect lots of coffee chat (with a little tea talk thrown in for good measure), with Kieran having much to say about Australia's coffee culture. Oh, and the episode ends with the debut of the 90s theme music, as th...

In this episode Paul and I finally wrap up #ScottSeptember (yes, I know what the date is) with a conversation on the Ridely Scott masterpiece, 'Blade Runner'. And we have much to discuss....

Happy weekend everyone! Today on the show- as part of #ScottSeptember- I talk about the Ridley Scott film 'Someone to Watch Over Me' and the Ridley Scott directed music video for 'Avalon' by Roxy Music. Two lesser talked about things in the career of the director that I thought it was intresting to find time to talk about during this mini-series. Anyway, next episode- it's 'Blade Runner'.

Continuing #ScottSeptember this episode sees Paul and I discuss Ridley Scott's iconic '1984' Apple Macintosh commercial (if you've never seen this, I strongly recommend you check this out on YouTube, it's a beut). Oh, and we recorded this in the summer of 2023 and so when I criticise the government/ the home office, I am slagging off the Conservative Party/ Robert Jenrick. Good riddance, etc. 

Okey-dokey, #ScottSeptember continues with this episode- which eagle-earer listeners may note was recorded last summer- where Paul and I discuss Ridley Scott's 'Black Rain'. And there's talk of many of Scott's films in this ep as we spend a significant amount of time discussing the themes running throughout the director's filmography (during which Paul says something about 'Blade Runner 2049' whic...

It's #ScottSeptember baby as this episode (which Paul, Kieran and I recorded back in mid-December 2022) kicks off a run of Ridley Scott 1980s episode. Today's film is 'Legend', the director's 1985 fanasy film starring a pre-'Top Gun' Tom Crusie and so you can expect talk of 'Lord of the Rings', Game of Throne, director's cuts of films (a Scott staple), as well as misadventures in laundry. Enjoy!

Ahead of the release of 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' (weird title, but whatever) I decided this was the perfect time to sit down on mic and give my thoughts on the original 1988 Tim Burton film, 'Beetlejuice', along with my scepticsim about the upcoming sequel.

This week it's mediations on love and loss with this 2022 conversation from the SpielbergPod archives. It's a One Perfect Scene episode, with Paul and I discussing the (super emotional) final scene of Steven Spielberg's 'E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial'.

Once again, recorded live and in-person in my front room, this episode sees Jake, Phil and I come up with mixtape playlists for our favourite 1970s songs, in the style of a fantasy draft.

In this episode Kieran, Paul and I look at the iconic 'Boy on the Bike' (also known as The Bike Ride and Bike Round) Hovis commercial from director Ridley Scott. This episode was recorded as a Patreon exclusive episode (over at https://www.patreon.com/ErrP) but now it's free to listen to, for your audio entertainment. Enjoy!

Guess what- it's a 70s day people! In this short solo episode- recoded back in Spring 2023- I discuss Joe Dante's killer fish movie, 'Piranha', particularly noting its relationship to Steven Spielberg's 'Jaws' and Dantes two Gremlins movies. This episode was recorded as a Patreon exclusive episode (over at https://www.patreon.com/ErrP) but now it's free to listen to, for your audio entertainment....

This episode- recorded... uh.... about a week after the UK election- sees Paul, Kieran and I in a very, very good mood as we sit down to discuss the final James Bond film starring Roger Moore, 'A View To A Kill'. And we have much to discuss including: quiches, my fear of being run over by an invisible car, Dick van Dyke, going undercover in a crab-shack and what exactly is 'a view to a kill'.
