120- Splash (1980s)

This week Mark and I hold stereos above our heads and talk about kickboxing being the sport of the future as we discuss Cameron Crowe's directorial debut, 'Say Anything...'.

This week it's another one from our SpielbergPod archives, so it's a conversation between Jev and I on the Tobe Hooper film 'Poltergeist', along with thoughts on the then recent remake of the film directed by Gil Kenan, which we recorded all the way back in 2015. 

In this episode we return to our music video coverage as Kieran, Mark and I discuss the John Landis directed 'Thriller' music video. Along the way we talk about the significance of this video, our memories of the career of Michael Jackson, Kieran reviews the new Shaun the Sheep movie and Mark questions what the point of this is (the music video, BTW, not the podcast).

Since we're edging towards spooky season, this seemed like the perfect time for Kieran and I to pick back up our coverage of the Halloween franchise, with a conversation on the wild horror sequel 'Halloween III: Season of the Witch'.

This week Jev and I try to fill a Sylvester Stallone shaped hole in our 1980s movie coverage with a discussion on bonkers cop film 'Cobra'.

This week Mark and I discuss the mermaid romantic comedy 'Splash'. Along the way we discuss the careers of one of the film's leads (Tom Hanks) and it's director (Ron Howard). We also discuss infamous movie extras, New York on screen and the film's wild ending, as well as talking at length about the tv show Through the Keyhole.

Happy weekend everyone! In this episode, which comes with a pre-music introduction...., Paul and I discuss the Nick Park animation 'A Grand Day Out', which was the introduction of beloved characters Wallace & Gromit.

This week we return to the archives of the SpielbergPod with a DVD commentary style conversation Kieran and I had back in 2020 - recorded smack-bang in the middle of the pandemic- on the Don Bluth animated film, 'An American Tail'.

In this episode, I sat down on a muggy Sunday afternoon for a solo chat about police comedy 'Police Academy 3: Back in Training'. Note- there are no swears in here and the conversation isn't adult. I do talk about the X-Men though, a handful of times.

In this episode, I sat down on a grey Saturday afternoon for a solo chat about cop comedy sequel 'Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment'. Note- there are no swears in here and the conversation isn't adult. At least, that's not how I remember it.
