Tripod

Your favourite pod-brothers are back and after last episodes 'fall' (Matt misunderstood The Exorcist and also screwed up the audio) they are on the rise again! Join Tyrie and Matt as they traverse the death-defying, white-knuckle heights of Sorcerer, the film that some argue is Friedkin's best, but which also undoubtedly stunted his career going forward. The troubled (some say cursed)...

Well folks, after an un-announced 2 week break, the boys are back and they have fundamentally forgotten how to podcast. Peaking audio, repeated questions, shallow analysis, over-lapping dialogue, arguments and (on Matt's part) a COMPLETE misreading of the film. But that's okay...it's not as if The Exorcist is a seminal work of cinematic art and history. Just like the film itself, it se...

The most cryptic and dreamlike film by the Coen's by a country mile (for old men). It's Barton Fink!

This week, pod-brothers Tyrie and Matt talk all things Nowhere, the third and final instalment in Gregg Araki's Teen Apocalypse trilogy!

This week we're kicking off Gregg Araki's Teen Apocalypse Trilogy with Totally F***ed Up, a bold film about six queer teenagers as they navigate love, friendship, family and growing up in a world that doesn't seem to have much room for them.

The night is always darkest before the dawn folks! And it was a dark day in the Tripod booth because it was the end of another TRILOGY! On this episode of Tripod, the boys discuss one of Paul Schrader's less heralded films: Light Sleeper, starring Willem Dafoe and Susan Sarandon.
