Spielbergpod - The Steven Spielberg Film Podcast

In this episode Kieran and I discuss the latest release from director supremo Steven Spielberg- the music video for the song 'Cannibal' by Marcus Mumford (from Mumford & Sons).

In this super short solo episode I discuss 'Spielberg' the documentary by Susan Lacy. It occurred to me yesterday that this podcast may contain spoilers for forthcoming Steven Spielberg film 'The Fabelmans' but I don't know as I haven't seen it yet. Oh, and apologies for the singing at the start of the episode but once I came up with the tune I couldn't help myself.

In this episode Paul and I discuss the most recent entry in the Jurassic Park franchise, 'Jurassic World Dominion' from director Colin Trevorrow.

Yes, it's another edition of our new feature that's sweeping the Interwebs... it's One Perfect Scene! This time I'm joined by my good friend Jev to discuss the trailer sequence (in which T-Rexes push the heroes off a cliff) from the sequel to Jurassic Park, 'The Lost World'.

In this episode- recorded back in lockdown- Kieran and I delve into the world of television directed by Steven Spielberg, specifically his contributions to the anthology show 'Night Gallery'- Eyes and Make Me Laugh.

In this episode we're kicking off a new feature called One Perfect Scene, where we will be examining perfect scenes in the filmography of Steven Spielberg. To kick this off I'm joined by Kieran to discuss the T-Rex paddock scene from 'Jurassic Park'.

SOMETHING HAS SURVIVED! Back in Spring 2020- the early days of the pandemic- Kieran, Paul and I sat down to record a 'DVD commentary'-style episode on Steven Spielberg's 'The Lost World: Jurassic Park' and- just under two years later- here it is for your ear-holes. You can expect us to dwell on the strengths and weaknesses of both this film and the series as a whole (we are not kind to this film's third act, for example), to think ahead on 'Jurassic World: Dominion', as well as talking about Pete Postlethwaite only taking two bullets to the island, dinosaurs and dog-houses and much, much more.

In this episode, featuring very special guests Daryl and Jeanette from Sudden Double Deep, I wrap up my Marvel Phase 2 coverage with a fantastic episode on Peyton Reed's 'Ant-Man'. And for a film about a tiny guy, we have a huge amount to discuss from the Edgar Wright of it all, Michael Douglas' cancer, de-aging in film, the career of Judy Greer (that ryhmes!), great British chocolate bars, X-Men costumes, clapping for the Avengers and much, much more. Join me later in the year for Marvel Phase 3 coverage!

In this episode I continue the MCU Phase 2 coverage with an episode on the 2015 Joss Whedon film, 'Avengers: Age of Ultron'. My very special guest this time around is Empire Magazine's Amon Warmann and we have much to discuss as we find common ground as far as the pros and cons of this movie.

In this episode- part of our Marvel Phase 2 coverage- I'm joined once again by Liam and Matt, two of the hosts of the fantastic Star Trek podcast Spocklight to talk about James Gunn's 'Guardians of the Galaxy'. We find much to discuss in this episode, including the influences on the film and how Quill seems to be a combination of all the great movie heroes, the vocal stylings of Mr Bradley Cooper, the fall from grace of Chris Pratt, 'It's Always Sunny in Space' and much, much more.

On your left! In this episode I continue my festive MCU Phase 2 coverage as Kobi Omenaka joins me to watch the second Cap film, 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier'. You can expect some singing, lots of talk about 90s Australian TV shows and much, much more as we delve into one of Marvel's best movies.

In this episode I continue the Phase 2 MCU coverage with a discussion on the second Thor movie, 'Thor: The Dark World'. Joining me for this conversation is a very special guest, podcasting legend Petros Patsilivas, host of the Nicolas Cage/ Coppola family podcast Caged In. And we have much to discuss including a disastrous trip to the loft, relating far too much to the ending of Infinity War, a Disney+ TV show idea featuring the Ian character and much, much more.

It's Christmas and so the SpielberPod is picking back up with our MCU coverage with a festive run of episodes on the Phase 2 films. We begin with a very special guest, why, it's Chris Hewitt from The Empire Film Podcast who joins me for a cracking discussion on Shane Black's 'Iron Man 3'.

This week I went to the theatre to see 'Back to the Future the Musical' and decided to record an episode of the SpielbergPod to gather my thoughts on the show (Please note- I make it clear when I'm getting into 'spoiler territory', in case you are thinking of going to see the show).

This week there's more ER chat as Kieran and I discuss the seventh episode of the second season, 'Hell and High Water'. This is easily one of the shows most popular episodes, which sees Dr Ross (George Clooney) trying to save a child trapped in a storm drain. (Note. The ER episode I recommend Kieran but can't remember the title of was 'Love's Labor Lost')

In this episode- where I'm joined by Jake, Kieran and Paul- we wrap up this mini-series on the films of the MCU Phase One by discussing the Joss Whedon film, 'The Avengers'. Expect more than a little conversation on 'Justice League' (including my thoughts on upcoming The Synder Cut), a recasting of the film were being directed by Wes Anderson, lots of Buffy comparisons, jokes about Hawkeye, life with Maria Hill and much, much more.

In this episode I'm joined by Paul to discuss 'Captain America: The First Avenger' as part of our Marvel/ MCU Phase One coverage. Expect spoilers for future Marvel films (up to the end of Phase Three) as well as criticism and praise for the film, me comparing the Tory Party with the Nazis and also Paul pondering life as a member of Hydra.
