Easy Riders Raging Podcast

This week Paul and I dance with the devil in the pale moonlight by discussing Tim Burton's 'Batman' and Paul is the perfect guest to discuss this film as he's a big fan of The Caped Crusader; so he talks about how he got into the character, his history with the comics, the various movies and we basically have a great chat about a classic comic book movie. And since I remembered to plug the Patreon...

In this solo episode- recorded back in late 2022- I talk about 'The Pink Panther' and its follow-up 'A Shot in the Dark', both from director Blake Edwards and starring Peter Sellers in his iconic role of Inspector Jacques Closeau. 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 back in 2021 (I believe during the super long Lockdown #3)- Kieran, Paul and I delve back into our childhood with a discussion on 'Trapped in the Sky', the first episode of Thunderbirds. 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!

This episode is another return to the archives from my original podcast, the SpielbergPod, with discussion on Steven Spielberg's short film Amblin' from 1968 (which you can watch for free on YouTube, if you're interested). Just to note, this episode was recorded back in March or April 2020 and it was the first podcast we recorded remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In this episode I dipped my toe into the weird world of director David Cronenberg with a solo review of one of his earliest works: 'Stereo'. Spoiler for this episode but I didn't really like the film but I found it to be an interesting work to deconstruct. This episode was recorded in late 2022 as a Patreon exclusive episode (over at https://www.patreon.com/ErrP) but now it's free to listen to, fo...

Recorded back in Autumn 2022 (hence the super dated opening), this episode finally saw Kieran and I complete our coverage of Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy with a discussion on the western classic, 'For a Few Dollars More' (having covered 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly' back in 2017 and 'A Fistful of Dollars' in- I think- 2019). This episode was recorded as a Patreon exclusive episode (over at ht...

In this festive episode Paul and I cover 'Blackadder's Christmas Carol', which is- as you might assume from the title- the Christmas special of the iconic British sitcom Blackadder. (If you haven't seen this then it's well worth checking out. Right up there with the best of the show).

In this episode Paul and I discuss the iconic 80s teen film 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' from director John Hughes.

NEW GUEST KLAXON!!! In this episode I was delighted to be joined by my friend Philippa- recorded live and in person- for a super fun conversation about the Mike Nichols film, 'Working Girl'.

In this episode Paul and I return to the wonderful world of British sitcoms and to one of our personal faves: Only Fools and Horses. Specifically the fantastic episode 'Chain Gang', which sees the consortium's plan of buying a briefcase of hooky necklaces go awry. A solid gold classic episode, up there with the show's best.

Just in time for Halloween, this episode sees Kieran, Paul and I discussing John Landis' horror classic, 'An American Werewolf in London'. And maybe it was a full moon when we recorded because this time around we were spicy.

In this episode we enter the spooky season with a discussion between Paul and myself on the John Carpenter sci-fi horror classic, 'The Thing'.

This week it's another return to the archives from my original podcast, the SpielbergPod, with an episode recorded back in Spring 2021 when we were still deeply in lockdown. It sees Kieran, Paul and I discuss the Columbo episode 'Murder by the Book', which was both the first episode of that long-running show and an episode directed by Steven Spielberg. Things to note since this episode was recorde...

In this episode- recorded back in either 2020 or 2021- there is a clash of opinions, as Jev and I discuss the film 'Two-Lane Blacktop'. (But we also find time to talk Big Brother, praise for 'Rat Race', hate for 'Mother!' and much more). 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. Enjo...

Jumping back to the seventies, this is another one of our Patreon episodes (from www.patreon.com/ERRP) that has been moved to the main feed so you can download it for free. This episode, recorded back in 2021, saw Jev, Kieran and I discuss the music video for Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. You can expect a musical intro, solid criticism of the band The Darkness and a bunch of name-dropping of celebr...

In this episode Paul and I discuss another British animated kids show (a spin-off show from Danger Mouse, which we talked about earlier this year): Count Duckula. So we talk about the origins of the character, the show in general and also talk specifically about the episode 'Hardluck Hotel'.

Continuing the Sherlock talk from last week's episode, this time around I have delved into the archives of my original podcast- the SpielbergPod- to the 2015 conversation between myself and Jev on the Barry Levinson film, 'Young Sherlock Holmes' (it was Spielberg produced, that was why we we discussing it then).

In this episode Paul and I break into our 1980s Disney coverage with a conversation about 'The Great Mouse Detective' (better known in some countries as 'Basil the Great Mouse Detective'), the film which asks the questions 'what if Sherlock Holmes was a mouse' and 'can you eat cheese with crumpets?'

In this episode Kieran and I pick back up with our coverage of Michael Apted's Seven Up documentary series, with a conversation about '28 Up' from 1984. One note on this, we recorded this episode ages ago- back in September 2020 (in the period between the first and the second lockdown). Sorry this took so long to go live but it's a great chat. Oh, one more thing- this was the first 1980s episode w...

Since tomorrow is the start of September it feels like a fitting time to end #mysummerofstartrek. Five episodes across which we discussed four films and one classic TV episode. And I have to say, it has been an absolute (phaser) blast. I look forward to returning to the wonderful world of Star Trek in some form on the show. This time around Paul and I discuss 'Star Trek V: The Final Frontier' from...

In this episode Paul, Kieran and I continue our Star Trek odyssey (#mysummerofstartrek) with a conversation about 'Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home'. (NOTE: There were some issues with Paul's headset while recording this episode so apologies if some of his audio sounds a bit off). Join us next time for as we complete our summer mini-series with an episode on... you guessed it... 'Star Trek V: The Fin...

After episodes on Star Trek II and Star Trek III, our five episode mission- which I'm calling #mysummerofstartrek- takes a change of course this week as we move to TV and to the crew of The Enterprise as captained by Jean-Luc Picard. Yep, that's right we're talking TNG as Paul, Kieran and I discuss the episode 'Q Who'. So that's Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 2, Episode 16- an excellent ep...

Continuing the mini-series #mysummerofstartrek this episode sees Paul, Kieran and I discuss 'Star Trek III: The Search for Spock', directed by Spock himself, Leonard Nimoy. This time around Paul and Kieran talk about their favourite Trek films, we talk about casting Klingon's, the acting of William Shatner and question just how far the pon farr went in this movie. Also, just like our last Star Tre...

In this episode Kieran, Paul and I kick off #mysummerofstartrek with coverage of 'Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan' from director Nicholas Meyer. And 'what is #mysummerofstartrek' I hear you ask, why it's us covering all the 1980s Star Trek films over the coming month or two (maybe delving into some Trek TV too....). Just as a bit of backstory to the ep, Paul and Kieran are long-time Trekkies while...

In this episode Paul, Kieran and I pick back up with our Blackadder coverage by discussing 'Bells', the first episode from series two. You can expect discussion on how the episode handles gay panic, talk of nudity in the theatre and quotes. Lots of quotes.
