Tripod episodes

  • Reel Quick | Tron: Ares
    Hey man! Like, welcome back, man. Today Tyrie and Matt are breaking into the grid, with their discussion of Tron: Ares. The boys ponder why Disney keeps going back to this neon world of one's and zero's (especially when none of the three films have ever made the company any actual one's or zero's) as well as the state of Jared Leto's career, and more importantly, the seemingly lost art of blockbuster movie-making and what Tron: Ares has to say about A.I., grief, connection, and what it truly means...to be cool.

  • 28.3 Sonatine | Takeshi Kitano's Yakuza Trilogy
    Feeling existential? GOOD! Because this week the boys are back to close the book on Takeshi's Kitano's Yakuza Trilogy. The final instalment, Sonatine, follows Beat and his boys as they lay low at the beach, play some games, throw some disc and then go out in a blaze of...glory? Tune in to find out, and get ready for another classic Tripod disagreement, because clever boy Tyrie loved this film and big ol' dummy Matt ultimately found it boring. Shocker!

  • 28.1 Violent Cop | Takeshi Kitano's Yakuza Trilogy
    Warning! This man is wild! He's also one of Japan's most beloved comedians! So how did Takeshi Kitano go from funny man to director man? In this brand new trilogy of Yakuza films, Tyrie and Matt deep dive into the life and work of 'Beat' Takeshi. This week, the boys talk 1989's Violent Cop, discussing it's unique blend of violence, comedy, slaps, kicks, blank stares and of course...more violence!

  • Reel Quick | The Legend of Ochi
    Fresh off the heels of the Cursed Childhood Trilogy - 80's fantasy films crawling with puppets like Hoggle, Aughra and Falkor - Matt and Tyrie thought they might never find a relevant Reel Quick to pair alongside their new, felt covered friends. Oh well. Never mind I gues-- WAIT A DAMN MINUTE! I see something...out on those hills...in the mist...it's, it's a PUPPET! In 2025!!! And not just any puppet - it's Ochi! Yes that's right folks, you can stop your clamouring because we heard you loud and clear - today we're finally covering The Legend of Ochi...a film we all definitely saw in theatres this year. Join Matt and Tyrie as they descend into Isaiah Saxon's mysterious world of Carpathia - a vivid and imaginative land that is sadly a little lacking in compelling characters, action and story. But hey, that's okay because...puppets, whimsy and beauty abound! Happy listening!

  • 27.2 The Never Ending Story | The Cursed Childhood Trilogy
    Tripod continues to be back! This week, Matt and Tyrie and joined by their dear friend Quentin Roth - a guest who refused to be on the upcoming Labyrinth episode because of how much it cursed his childhood. Instead, the boys discuss Matt's touchstone cursed childhood film, The Never Ending Story, discussing the strengths of the world, the weaknesses in the plot, and the general creepiness of Falkor (scandal noted). The boys apologise in advance if this movie holds a special place in some listeners hearts...they just didn't quite get it! Enjoy!

  • 27.1 The Dark Crystal | The Cursed Childhood Trilogy

    AAAAANNNND we're back! After a brief hiatus Tripod is back on the AIR! They tried to shut us down, but the spirit of unofficial trilogies proved too much for the fat cats over at Spotify (And wherever else you stream this thing)


    In this episode the boys go back to the 80's to discuss the Cursed Childhood Trilogy, three films linked by their whimsical fantasy settings, dark tone and heavy use of puppets. Kicking things off we have The Dark Crystal!


    Happy Listening folks!

  • 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!

  • 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?
