For this week's Reel Quick, pod-brothers Matt and Tyrie saw FUZE...in an empty theatre...at 12.45pm...on a nice sunny day. They did not like it. And now they're gonna scream about it for an hour.

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. A film that explores paranoia, ennui and aimlessness in the concrete jungle of NYC. Is this film all one big metaphor for a mid-life crisis? And how does this film fit amongst Taxi Driver and American Gigolo, the previous instalments of the Night Worker Trilogy? Tune in to this very focused, very well researched, EXTREMELY locked in episode of Tripod to find out.Follow us at @tripod_showGet in touch at [email protected] by Jack Mierswww.jackmiers.com@jackmiers@jackandjosh Hosted on Acast.

Oh yeeeeh! The night is still young listeners, and this week Tyrie and Matt are cruising down into the sleek, chic and sexy L.A. The city of angels, stars and the hottest American Gigolo...Richard Gere. The podbrothers chat about writer/director Paul Shrader's creative process, the hugely influential production and costume design of this 1980 film, and of course, whether or not Richard Gere has 'pig' eyes. We're so sorry Richard. Enjoy! Follow us at @tripod_showGet in touch at [email protected] by Jack Mierswww.jackmiers.com@jackmiers@jackandjosh Hosted on Acast.

The Tripod boys are pulling an all nighter as they discuss TAXI DRIVER the first film in Paul Schrader's Night Worker Trilogy... Which is technically a series, but we don't have the budget to cover more than three films. That's kinda our whole thing. The discussion covers a wide range of topics while diving into the mind of cinema's most notorious protagonist, Travis Bickle.

Vertigo. One of the most famous movies ever made. Tyrie loved it. Matt did not. Hilarity, debate and analysis ensues...hopefully. The pod-brothers also wrap up the Oscars (we know it's old news get off our backs!), and conclude the Hitchcock/Stewart Relationship trilogy by discussing the links (if any) between the three films covered and of course their rankings!

More like The FILM that BLEW too HARD! Am I right or am I right people? Look every now and again we see a master directors work and sometimes it just kinda STINKS okay. So what if we didn't like this thing, SUE us go on see if we care. It's long, the plot is wafer thin. At one point Dr. Meckenna drugs his wife so he can give her bad news.Yeesh, anyway we talk about this and a bunch of other stuff...

Well hold on just a minute here. You're telling me that Alfred Hitchcock made an unofficial trilogy? You're darn right, bucko! And it's starring non-other than American film legend, Jimmy Stewart. In the upcoming three films, the dynamic duo explore what Hitch defined as the three phases of relationships; romance, marriage and loss. In this episode, Matt and Tyrie discuss all things Rear Window - how it got made, Hitchcock's idea of 'pure cinema', and if the film's slow pace holds up compared to the modern thrillers of today! Oh yeh, and Jimmy S may stop by for a visit from time to time...Follow us at @tripod_showGet in touch at [email protected] by Jack Mierswww.jackmiers.com@jackmiers@jackandjosh Hosted on Acast.

It's Christmas Eve and Tripod is back for one last holiday gift...but this one is more like a lump of dang coal! In the (merciful) final instalment of the trilogy, Tyrie, Matt and his brother Ben take Disney's Noelle to task, lamenting it's missed opportunities, under-utilised talent and wondering who it's actually for. The mouse certainly has a lot to answer for. In any case, Merry Christmas and Happy Hoglidays everyone, we'll see you next week for our final ep of 2025! Oh and please don't sue us, Peter Combe. We love you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me. A second instalment in the I'm related to Santa Trilogy! Anyway... We're talking about Arthur Christmas. Some believe it is a modern Christmas classic! What do these two hog obsessed clowns think? Tune in to find out. Tune in to also find out what I mean when I say they're hog obsessed... Enjoy!

Ho, Ho, Huh? That's right, Tripod is back for their third and sweatiest Christmas trilogy yet! It's the I'm Related to Santa Trilogy - three films no one asked for all packaged up in a beautiful holiday gift from Matt and Tyrie to you, dear listener. This week, the boys channel their inner Grinch's to talk (and scream) about 2007's family(?) film, Fred Clause. At one hour and forty minutes of pure pod, you better believe they go on some Tripod tangents in this one folks! Happy holidays! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Giddy up, listeners! Bronco Bridges is back for this week's Reel Quick to help Matt and Tyrie celebrate a whopping one-hundred episodes of Tripod! And what better way to celebrate this milestone than with a motion picture classic that everyone saw and everyone remembers...Crazy Heart. Wait...is that right? No seriously...they did Crazy Heart for their one-hundredth? Are they trying to lose listeners? Good lord. Anyway, pour yourself a sobering glass of ginger ale and enjoy as the boys chat about the state of music biopics (many of which they have failed to see) and the ups and downs of Crazy Heart, and Matt's perfect surprise gift to his podbrother, Tyrie. Thanks for riding with us these past 100 folks! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Wow guys. What a journey. We had some laughs. We had some yucks. But here we are at the end of Roberto Rossellini's War Trilogy with Germany Year Zero. It's his less heralded entry in the trilogy, but still a powerful one. The movie is a prayer for empathy and understanding. And the two bozo clowns who host this pod are gonna drool and blubber about it for an hour. Enjoy! Oh and stay tuned to the end to find out what movie we'll be covering next... You might say it's a little... Crazy... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, Classic Tripod continues it's deep dive into Roberto Rossellini's War Trilogy. Four-time guest and recent Italian tourist Simon Harvey joins Matt and Tyrie, ready to discuss 1946's Paisan - a feature made out of six 'episodes', each chronicling the liberation of Italy by the allied forces of World War II. Being such an important film which tackles some incredibly bleak subject matter, you'd be forgiven for thinking this episode is without bits, goofs, gags and laughs. But you'd be dead wrong. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hey folks, for the next three episodes we are gonna be running... ehhh CLASSIC Tripod... That's right we're doing old black and white movies can you believe it. But these films aren't just black and white, they're also super important. I'm talking of course about Roberto Rossellini's War Trilogy! Three films made in the immediate aftermath of WWII. First up is Rome, Open City, a film that not only broke the rules, but completely rewrote the book on how films are made for decades to come. "All roads lead to Rome, Open City." John Luc Goddard. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hey man! Like, welcome back, man. Today Tyrie and Matt are breaking into the grid, with their discussion of Tron: Ares. The boys ponder why Disney keeps going back to this neon world of one's and zero's (especially when none of the three films have ever made the company any actual one's or zero's) as well as the state of Jared Leto's career, and more importantly, the seemingly lost art of blockbuster movie-making and what Tron: Ares has to say about A.I., grief, connection, and what it truly means...to be cool. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Feeling existential? GOOD! Because this week the boys are back to close the book on Takeshi's Kitano's Yakuza Trilogy. The final instalment, Sonatine, follows Beat and his boys as they lay low at the beach, play some games, throw some disc and then go out in a blaze of...glory? Tune in to find out, and get ready for another classic Tripod disagreement, because clever boy Tyrie loved this film and big ol' dummy Matt ultimately found it boring. Shocker! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The boys return with the second instalment of Takeshi Kitano's Yakuza Trilogy: Boiling Point. Man this movie starts off so chill... Then a bunch of people get shot up... Oh well, it makes for good viewing and inadvertently great talking! Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Warning! This man is wild! He's also one of Japan's most beloved comedians! So how did Takeshi Kitano go from funny man to director man? In this brand new trilogy of Yakuza films, Tyrie and Matt deep dive into the life and work of 'Beat' Takeshi. This week, the boys talk 1989's Violent Cop, discussing it's unique blend of violence, comedy, slaps, kicks, blank stares and of course...more violence! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Fresh off the heels of the Cursed Childhood Trilogy - 80's fantasy films crawling with puppets like Hoggle, Aughra and Falkor - Matt and Tyrie thought they might never find a relevant Reel Quick to pair alongside their new, felt covered friends. Oh well. Never mind I gues-- WAIT A DAMN MINUTE! I see something...out on those hills...in the mist...it's, it's a PUPPET! In 2025!!! And not just any puppet - it's Ochi! Yes that's right folks, you can stop your clamouring because we heard you loud and clear - today we're finally covering The Legend of Ochi...a film we all definitely saw in theatres this year. Join Matt and Tyrie as they descend into Isaiah Saxon's mysterious world of Carpathia - a vivid and imaginative land that is sadly a little lacking in compelling characters, action and story. But hey, that's okay because...puppets, whimsy and beauty abound! Happy listening! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We are still so back, this time with our third instalment of the Cursed Childhood Trilogy: Labyrinth. A movie brought to you by the creative genius of Jim Henson, Terry Jones, George Lucas and David Bowie! Dance Magic Dance! It also stars Jennifer Connelly in her second feature film (The first one was Once Upon a Time in America, remember when we covered that? hUH?!) Anyway ENJOY! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tripod continues to be back! This week, Matt and Tyrie and joined by their dear friend Quentin Roth - a guest who refused to be on the upcoming Labyrinth episode because of how much it cursed his childhood. Instead, the boys discuss Matt's touchstone cursed childhood film, The Never Ending Story, discussing the strengths of the world, the weaknesses in the plot, and the general creepiness of Falkor (scandal noted). The boys apologise in advance if this movie holds a special place in some listeners hearts...they just didn't quite get it! Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

AAAAANNNND we're back! After a brief hiatus Tripod is back on the AIR! They tried to shut us down, but the spirit of unofficial trilogies proved too much for the fat cats over at Spotify (And wherever else you stream this thing) In this episode the boys go back to the 80's to discuss the Cursed Childhood Trilogy, three films linked by their whimsical fantasy settings, dark tone and heavy use of puppets. Kicking things off we have The Dark Crystal!Happy Listening folks! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this toe-tapping final episode of the High School Musical trilogy, we dive into the bold, bright, and big-haired world of Hairspray (2007). In this final instalment, we chat John Waters, unpack John Travolta’s transformation into Edna Turnblad, tip our caps to the return of Max Shrek and Catwoman, and discuss whether the film actually delivers on its message of inclusion, or just smooths it over with musical sparkle.

School is back in session listeners and this time...its MUSICAL. Fresh off the heels of the disturbing and difficult films of David Lynch, Matt has taken back the reigns of programming and is delighted to dive into the fun, bubblegum world of Grease, which Tyrie argues is actually more terrifying and dystopian. The two T-Birds discuss what made this original High School musical such a smash hit in 1978, and why it's still so popular today, despite being panned by critics and ageing like a melon in the sun.

JUNE? David Lynch wasn't sure at first, and neither are we!

Alright people here it is; the episode so special Tyrie forgot to upload it. We're talking about Inland Empire. Considered David Lynch's most impenetrable film, it tells the story of a woman in trouble. At least that's what Lynch says it's about. It's filmed entirely on a small mid range camcorder, so while it doesn't exactly look like a silk purse, it generates some transfixing imagery. Stay tuned to find out what our next Reel Quick ep will cover over the month of June.
