Easy Riders Raging Podcast

Now in our fourth series, we"re back and this time around we"re talking 1980s films of all shapes and sizes. But not just that, we"ve got eps on 80s TV, and music videos and more! As ever our episodes include trademark features such as Recastarama (where we recast the film using current actors) and Who Am I (where we work out who we would be in the film). Lots of fun to be had. [Our 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and 1970s series are also available]

Easy Riders Raging Podcast ·

2023/07/23

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 I am not (I make several X-Men comparisons in this episode as that was my franchise rather than this)

Easy Riders Raging Podcast ·

2023/07/01

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 Succession, talk of The Simpsons (obviously), discussion over whether Kane and Leland were sleeping with each

19- The Young Ones: Bambi (1980s, British sitcoms #3)

Easy Riders Raging Podcast ·

2023/06/13

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 born in Southsea FYI. I had confused him with Peter Sellers who I had been reading about around this

15- The Money Pit (1980s)

Easy Riders Raging Podcast ·

2023/05/15

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 podcast, The SpielbergPod in 2022, which did not contain the special features for the film. A reminder, if

It's a cheery little film about nuclear Armageddon.

Easy Riders Raging Podcast ·

2023/04/02

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 you).

Easy Riders Raging Podcast ·

2023/03/26

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.
