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.

TE 30; The Fifth Element, Dissection

12/10/2017

On this episode we jump into our Movie Time Machine to the wild year of 1997 to take a look at a Luc Besson classic in The Fifth Element.

A film close to Alex's heart was a must dissect for us mostly just to see how he would defend this most odd of movies.Paul is along for the ride this week.

Between them they manage to look at not only the films of Luc Besson but throw some random tangents in as well as some rather spiffing anecdotes.

Tangents Entertained Episode 26

15/9/2017

Spielberg's best of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s

When it comes to directors few have the recognition and reputation of Steven Spielberg. Due to his vast back catalogue we have split this director focus into multiple parts.

This first episode is taking into account his early work up to and including 1989. So without further ado it's time for a reasonable debate on the films we feel are the best in Spielberg's early portfolio or failing that let battle commence.
