TE 44; The Dark Knight Rises, Dissection

24/1/2018

 
All good things must come to an end and this could not be further from the truth than with Christopher Nolan's Batman Trilogy. The question is however was this a send off worthy of the series or was it a bit of a damp squib?

To discuss this question among many others that the Dark Knight Rises brings up we Alex, Mark and Paul ready to throw down to prove that their point is right (although in the end we all know is really right ;))

​In a small departure from normal we jump straight into spoilers sorry.

TE 39; The Force Awakens, Dissection

19/12/2017

 
Mark and Alex jump back two years to the long awaited and highly anticipated return of the Star Wars universe under its new Mouse shaped Overlord.

​Did the introduction of anew cast mixed with some of the franchises most beloved characters entrance our hosts or were they left wanting? Listen to find out.

​​​As always for our Dissections we begin with a non-spoiler intro but from there on in things will get delved into in depth.

​Thank you for listening and as always may all your tangents be entertaining.

TE 38; The Dark Knight, Disection

28/11/2017

 
What happens when you bring together one of the most beloved films of all time, two rational fans and one arsey git? Episode 38 of Tangents entertained. (Poor joke from Paul the Arsey one of the episode)

In truth though this is why we love films and TV shows that three people can sit in-front of the same piece and all take something different from the experience. 

​​As always for our Dissections we begin with a non-spoiler intro but from there on in things will get delved into in depth.

TE 32; Blade Runner 2049, Review

27/10/2017

 
Prequels, Sequels and all that Jazz have had a bit of a mixed reception of late. The concern of this episode is however what reception did the TE team give to the return of Deckard in Blade Runner 2049?

Alex and Mark are joined by our always welcome and special guest Jon (minus the jacket we all think he should buy) to cover all things Blade Runneresque. 

As always for our reviews we begin with a non-spoiler intro but from there on in things will get delved into in depth.

​Thank you for listening and as always may all your tangents be entertaining.

TE 31; The Princess Bride, Dissection

18/10/2017

 
In this episode we right some rather outrageous wrongs as three quarters of the cast had not seen Rob Reiner's classic. Not only that but one of us does not know the infamous Inigo Montoya quote!!!!!!!

Anyway the world has been righted as Alex, Mark James and Paul talk about this classic from 1987 and dissect it from beginning to end so expect Spoilers from pretty early on.

​Thank you for listening and as always may all your tangents be entertaining.
