July 16, 2025 Reel Quick: 28 Years Later
In 1978 Grease was released to an unsuspecting public. 28 Years Later, in 2006, High School Musical was released to a post Grease public that was yet again unsuspecting...Guys... 28 Years Later...Is that a COINCIDENCE or WHAT?! The same year these two Bozo Clowns (Matt and Tyrie) decide to talk about Grease and High School musical (And also Hairspray 2007) Danny Boyle and Alex Garland release 28 Years Later, the Lega-sequel to their gritty horror smash hit 28 Days Later.

And you'd better believe the boys talk about it in this instalment of Reel Quick.

They are also joined by Tasman Aspinall! His fifth appearance on the show! Together they talk about the films frenetic visual style, it's deep and powerful themes and of course that giant DONG that takes up a good 60% of the screen (You know the one).

The pod will also be taking a mid-year break so they can catch their breath and you (our dear listeners) can rest your ears. They're also super busy and doing cool stuff, so check out the links below!

July 08, 2025 26.3 Hairspray | The High School Musical Trilogy
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. Finally, we’re asking: does it belong in the trilogy? Or does it steal the whole show?

June 24, 2025 26.1 Grease | The High School Musical Trilogy
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 the sun.

June 17, 2025 Reel Quick: Dune (1984)
JUNE? David Lynch wasn't sure at first, and neither are we! To celebrate the month of June and their recent completion of David Lynch's LA Trilogy, Matt and Tyrie dive back into the surrealist master's biggest Hollywood film and his biggest disappointment - 1984's epic Frank Herbert adaptation, Dune. Joined by Tripod regular Simon Harvey (Baron Munchausen, Happy Together), the gang delve into this most infamous of box office bombs, with its bizarre special effects, wonderful production design, and endless voiceovers, to discuss what exactly went wrong in the deserts of Arrakis.

June 12, 2025 25.3 Inland Empire | The LA Trilogy
Alright people here it is; the episode so special Tyrie forgot to upload it. We're talking about Inland Empire. Considered David Lynch's most impenetrable film, it tells the story of a woman in trouble. At least that's what Lynch says it's about. It's filmed entirely on a small mid range camcorder, so while it doesn't exactly look like a silk purse, it generates some transfixing imagery. Stay tuned to find out what our next Reel Quick ep will cover over the month of June.
