Episode 59 - The Straight Story

The EscapeGoat Podcast ·

2023/07/30

We cap off this current series with a great finale episode, in which I am joined by the brilliant Christine Kelley for the first time. After a general chat about a few things, we turn to talking about our mutual backgrounds with the films of David Lynch, and then in the second part we focus in on Christine's favourite Lynch film - the elegiac, melancholy and tenderly unconventional road movie The Straight Story (1999). Such a lovely chat. Hope you enjoy it. This episode is respectfully dedicated to

Episode 58 - And Then There Were None

The EscapeGoat Podcast ·

2023/07/19

This week, I am joined by the fantastic Jack Graham, for his second appearance on the show. In the first hour, me and Jack chat about many things (okay, quite a lot of Star Trek, I'll be honest) and then we turn to the main topic - the classic Agatha Christie novel And Then There Were None (1939), a text that has fascinated Jack for decades. Also... Jack may read a poem insert that I wrote (on the bus) the day following the main recording. I promise, it will make sense in context. A great one,

Episode 57 - Star Trek: Invasion! First Strike

The EscapeGoat Podcast ·

2023/07/02

In this latest installment, I'm joined by film critic and pop culture commentator Darren Mooney, to have a ridiculously nerdy and only slightly rambling conversation about Star Trek - both in general terms (initially), and then our respective experiences of the various tie-in book series. Following that, we zero-in on one specific Star Trek novel - that being Star Trek: Invasion! First Strike (Diane Carey, 1996). We had a great time. If this interests anyone else, it will be a bonus. Many thanks to

The EscapeGoat Podcast ·

2023/06/23

We come zooming back, to continue the fourth series! I am thrilled to welcome Jonny to the show for a second appearance, after a substantial gap, to chat about The Flash! After a first half in which we discuss DC Comics' Scarlet Speedster generally, and a little bit about his previous incarnations and adaptations, we use the second half to review the (at-time-of-recording) new movie The Flash (2023, Andy Muschietti). We get spoilery from 1h 16 mins in, if anyone cares about that. Enjoy! 0.00

We're back, talking more Jaws (Steven Spielberg, 1975)! This time, John and I are joined by the fantastic Laura Carseldine. After some chat about the film and our fandom, we have a look at the original novel by Peter Benchley, and some of the differences between the source material and the movie adaptation. SPOILERS for the book, by the way! One of them in particular blows my mind. Then we have a discussion of the movie sequels, and their sublime and escalating ridiculousness. You can listen to
