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

Reel Quick: Tron: Ares

Tripod ·

2025/11/04

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

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
