This episode we discuss 90's action cinema, the state of spec scripts today and much, much more. We also have a...

Rejoice true believers! Tripod's coming back at ya with another edition of REEL QUICK. And today these two wiener nerds are talking about Mickey 17! It's Bong Joon-Ho's latest film and it SLAPS! They pick apart the ins-and-outs of this whacky sci-fi social critique and attempt to unpack it's hidden meaning! It's in cinemas right now so GO WATCH IT, then come back and listen to these two bozo-clown...

What if...big ol' pig! That's just one of the questions Matt and Tyrie are asking in this week's episode, folks. The boys are well and truly broken after following Okja and Mija on their globe-trotting journey, but they power through their tears to bring you some fresh and tender podcast jerky as always. Tune in next week as we bring you another Reel Quick on non-other than Mickey 17! Hosted on Ac...

What if... train ? That's the question this week, listeners! As they pull in to the 2nd station of the 'What If' trilogy, tail-section hicks Matt and Tyrie talk all things Snowpiercer - Bong Joon-Ho's frigid adaptation about a big-ass locomotive and one hell of a journey! P.S. - Sorry we (mostly Matt) mispronounce director Bong's name on occasion - we have since been educated and we will. Be. Bett...

To celebrate the release of Mickey 17, this month the boys will be deep diving into the speculative fiction movies of legendary auteur bong Joon-Ho. Bong has made some of the most daring films of the 21st century, and his film Parasite took home the Palme D'Or and several Oscars. So how do his more out there sci fi films stack up? The boys endeavour to find out! Up first it's Bong's smash hit crea...

Pop those champagne bottles everyone, Awards Season is here. In this extra special episode of Tripod, the boys are joined by special guest Finn Dall to discuss the biggest award ceremony in the buiz: The Oscars! Finn is a writer and critic who's work you can find all over the web, most importantly at FilmInk! (We've dropped some links below! The gang cover who was snubbed, the big AI scandal, who...

Welcome to the very first Reel Quick , a new monthly mini-series where Matt and Tyrie chat about a newly released film that (hopefully) has some relevance to the trilogy they just covered! After the doomed yearning of Wong Kar-wai's Love Trilogy, Sean Baker's Anora felt like the perfect way to cap off a month of troubled romantic entanglements. Plus, it's just in time for the Oscars! Enjoy folks!...

In the mood for pod? Well good, cos the boys are back with what Tyrie dubs one of the greatest films of the 21st century - In the Mood for Love. To take on this behemoth of cinema, writer and all-round smart guy Arden Baker elevates the conversation by unpacking the nuance of the films translation, historical context and of course, those knock-out dresses! Enjoy the yearning folks. Find Arden's po...

The second episode of 2025 is here and what a whopper it is. Not only are the boys talking about one of the most celebrated films in queer cinema history, Happy Together (1997), they're also joined by a special guest- no a VERY special guest: Simon Harvey. Last time he joined Tripod, the show got a massive bump in ratings, can lightning strike twice? Hopefully it can. Anyway, in this episode you c...

We're BAAACCCCCKKKK! It's poddin' time people, and what better way to celebrate the month of love than with the Love Trilogy...three films about the wonders, warmth and dizzying heights that love...wait...wait a goddamn second! These movies aren't about love at all! At least not the cute and cuddly way Hollywood would have you view it! Enter, Hong-Kong legend, Wong Kar-wai and his revolutionary ta...

In this special episode, the amigos take a look back at the journey so far... again.

Happy holidays folks! Follow us at @tripod_show Get in touch at mattandtyrie@gmail.com Artwork by Jack Miers www.jackmiers.com @j...

Merry Christmas, every one! Or at least it was, until Matt and Tyrie had to watch Bobby Z's 2009 take on this holiday classic. But hey, Tasman is back and he kind of liked it! One man's lump of coal is another man's magical sleigh bell as they say! The guys talk about how strange the characters look in this decidedly bleak film (spoiler alert, it's uncanny), and try to figure out what makes this p...

Ahoy listeners! It's that time of the week again! And guess what? Tasman is back by popular demand! This episode the boys delve deep into the English languages very first epic poem and it's ill fated film adaptation. What's this got to do with Christmas? Tune in to find out!

You've got podcast. This week on Tripod, it's the romantic, climactic and idiotic conclusion of this epic Hanks/Ryan love triangle of a trilogy! Matt and Tyrie talk more Nora Ephron, emailing, bookstores, serial killer subplots and lots lots more - including how maybe When Harry Met Sally should have been a part of all this! Enjoy folks - be sure to stay tuned for the very festive 20th trilogy rev...

They say there is a very fine line between love and hate. In this episode, Matt and Tyrie put that theory to the test as they go to war over one of the most successful rom-coms of all time. The boys discuss the city of Seattle (with shocking minimal Frasier talk), the career and legacy of Nora Ephron, and of course, whether this trilogy holds up to any scrutiny...with one final instalment to come!...

On this Award Winning Show*, the boys discuss a brand new trilogy: The When Ryan met Hanks Trilogy! Three films featuring America's dad Tom Hanks and America's Sweetheart Meg Ryan as the romantic leads! First up is Joe Versus the Volcano. A delightful oddity that has developed somewhat of a cult following. Listen today and you will go into the running to win your very own Harrier Fighter Jet!** *T...

Happy Halloween Eve folks! This week, we complete our unpeeling of Jordan Peele with his 3rd film, the equally loved and maligned...NOPE! Is it a horror, is it a sci-fi, is it a western...or is it really a GHOST film! Matt and Tyrie get into it all (including an educated discussion about the Scorpion King) with the help of Matt's brother and Nope-lover, Ben! Stay tuned for our 19th trilogy announc...

On this weeks episode of Tripod, the lads discuss the nitty-gritty of the 2019 children's film Dumbo: The story of one man and his hat... and also an elephant with big ears that can fly... But the main thing is the hat! They also discuss the circus of collaborators Tim Burton has brought with him across his career, the power of this film to make grown men cry and whether or not the Top Hat Trilogy...

This week we're going from a big damn penguin to a big damn FISH baby! In the second episode of the totally connected and officially working Top Hat Trilogy, Matt explains why Big Fish was one of his favourite films as child, while Tyrie dunks on him for fun. Matt (having done his homework for a change) does some back-peddling on his original and uneducated take on Burton, and proclaims him as 'on...

"I AM AN ANIMAL! I AM NOT A HUMAN BEING!" Good golly Miss Molly... The boys have well and truely lost it... Damned if I know what IT was...

It's a lot of fun! The boys deep dive into the filmography of thes...

We did it people! We got through the Vengeance Trilogy! It was grim. It was ghastly. It was BLEAK! But boy oldboy was it worth it! This week, Matt and Tyrie conclude Park Chan-wook's filmic explorations of retribution with Lady Vengeance. The boys chat about their takeaways from the film, and wonder whether the protagonist killing an innocent puppy was a bridge too far. They also discuss other BIG...

OH BOY! It's Oldboy! Not to be confused with Broldboy... Never heard of Broldboy? Don't worry the boys cover it extensively in this very episode. They also talk about what they'd eat first if they were let out of one of those Oldboy prison hotels. And also cars made of spaghetti. That's right the boys talk about cars made out of spaghetti. Somehow. Life finds a way I guess. Uhh... OLDBOY! Follow u...
