In this episode Kieran, Paul and I pick back up with our Tom and Jerry coverage with a discussion on 'The Cat Concerto' from 1947 from directors William Hanna and Joseph Barbera.

In this episode Paul and I get back into our ongoing conversation on Disney by discussing 'Pinocchio'.

In this episode we kick off season 5 of the show- this time around discussing films from the 1940s. And don't worry- as I explain in the intro- this series is designed to run alongside our 1980s season so there's plenty more 80s coverage to come. We begin this new decade with Kieran and I discussing one of the all-time greats, 'Citizen Kane' from Orson Welles. You can expect comparisons to Success...

In this episode Kieran and I discuss the iconic 'Bambi' episode of the British sitcom, The Young Ones (so that's series two, episode one- which sees the characters go on University Challenge). This episode was recorded late 2022 and I think was the first TV episode of this current 1980s run. We've done a few of these now, whereas here it felt like bold new territory for us. Oh, Ben Elton was not b...

 In this episode Jev and I discuss 'The Running Man', the Paul Michael Glaser sci-fi action film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, based on the book by Richard Bachman (AKA Stephen King).

In this episode Kieran, Paul and I continue to look at 1980s music videos by discussing the Stephen R. Johnson directed video for Peter Gabriel's 'Sledgehammer'.

In this episode- which we recorded this week- Jake returns to the podcast for a discussion on Brian De Palma's period crime drama, 'The Untouchables'.

In this episode- recorded somewhen in the summer of 2022- Jev and I discussed 'The Money Pit', the 1986 comedy from Richard Benjamin starring Tom Hanks and Shelley Long. Our opinions on the film differ somewhat (I'm more generous on it than Jev) and then we completely disagree on 'The 'Burbs' (Jev likes it, I don't). NOTE- This episode is an extended version of an episode released on the sister po...

In this episode- recorded way back in the summer of 2021 - Kieran and I discuss the directorial debut of Joel and Ethan Coen, 1984's 'Blood Simple'.

This episode- recorded back in 2018- is another one previously only available via our Patreon account (https://www.patreon.com/ERRP). In this ep, Kieran and I discuss docu-drama 'The War Game' from 1966. It's a super bleak film about the aftermath of a nuclear attack on the UK.

Recorded back in 2020, this is another episode we recorded for Patreon (from www.patreon.com/ERRP) that I've now moved to the main show to make it free to download. This time around we're discussing the very first episode of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon The Flintstones entitled 'The Flintstone Flyer'.

Jumping back to the sixities, 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 2020, saw Kieran, Paul and I sit down to discuss the episode 'Free Wheeling to Wheeling' from the Hanna-Barbera cartoon Wacky Races, which include the likes of Dick Dastardly and Muttley and Penelo...

In this episode- recorded in mid-April 2023 (this week!)- Jev and I discuss the iconic music video for Bonnie Tyler's 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' from director Russell Mulcahy.

Recorded somewhen in winter 2022 (it must've been days after the first Indiana Jones 5 trailer dropped), this episode sees Paul and I discuss animated film 'When the Wind Blows', based on the book of the same name from Raymond 'The Snowman' Briggs. It's a cheery little film about nuclear Armageddon.

In this episode Kieran, Paul and I break into the world of music videos with a discussion of the iconic semi-animated video for the a-ha song 'Take On Me'. (Oh, just in case it isn't clear we are talking about the film 'Avatar' at the very opening of the episode, with Paul asking me about the sequel. Also, 'Never Mind the Buzzcocks' is a British music quiz show, in case this reference is lost on y...

This week I have delved into the archives of my original podcast- the SpielbergPod- with two discussions from 2015 on Don Bluth films. The first was a solo chat on 'An American Tail' (I believe this was my very first attempt at a solo recording) and the second- recorded on New Year's Eve that year- sees Kieran and I discuss 'The Land Before Time'. Two hugely moving animated classics.

In this episode Paul, Kieran and I talk about the 80's Tom Cruise classic 'Top Gun' (from director Tony Scott). We also talk quite a bit about the recent sequel 'Top Gun: Maverick' (and the Hot Shots films) and Paul's love of volleyball.

In this episode- recorded live and in person on Boxing Day (December 26th) 2022 with my sister Amanda- we discuss beloved British sitcom Only Fools and Horses, specifically the episode 'Yuppy Love' which is a key episode for the show, not least because it contains the iconic moment where Del Boy falls through the bar.

It's more TV talk this week as Kieran, Paul and I discuss 'The Queen of Spain's Beard', which is the fourth episode of British sitcom The Black Adder (from Richard Curtis and Rowan Atkinson) as a way to discuss that first series as a whole. (Oh, just to be clear- as I don't think we mention him by name- we're talking about Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in the opening)

In this episode- recorded back in late autumn 2022- I was delighted to be joined by Al Horner, host of the fantastic screenwriting podcast Script Apart, to discuss Stanley Kubrick's horror classic- based on the book of the same name by Stephen King- 'The Shining'.

In this episode- recorded late 2022- Paul and I break into the world of commercials as we discuss the acclaimed 'Photo Booth' Hamlet Cigars advertisement. Please note- this episode was not recorded to promote cigars, Hamlet or otherwise, and we are not sponsored by Hamlet. Smoking kllls people, and we want to underline that point.

In this episode Paul and I discuss the pilot episode to the British children's cartoon show Danger Mouse, entitled 'Rogue Robots'.

In this festive episode- recorded live and in person on Christmas Eve 2022- I sat down with my sister Amanda to discuss the Christmas classic, 'The Snowman', the animated film based on the book of the same name by Raymond Briggs.

In this episode- I think recorded back in the summer of 2021- Kieran and Jev and I discuss the Robert Zemeckis romance-adventure film, 'Romancing the Stone'.

In this episode we kick off season 4 of the show- our long-awaited run on 1980s film and television- as Paul and I discuss James Cameron's sci-fi classic 'The Terminator'. And if you want to hear Kieran and I discuss the sequel 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day', well you my friend, are in luck.
