Spielbergpod - The Steven Spielberg Film Podcast

This week Kieran, Paul and I fancied talking about 'Return of the Jedi' so we ended up doing a One Perfect Scene episode on the Sarlacc Pit sequence. Enjoy!

In this episode, recorded just after Thunderbolts* came out, Paul and I finally sat down to discuss Taika Waititi's 'Thor: Ragnarok'. A film we have a lot of love for.

Okay, in this episode (which was recorded back in 2024) Kieran, Paul and I discuss the Fede Álvarez film 'Alien: Romulus'. Kieran and Paul are big fans of this franchise and so there was much for us to chew on in this conversation.

In this episode Kieran and I celebrate the 40th birthday of 'Back to the Future' with a discussion on the iconic Johnny B. Goode scene from that film.

In this One Perfect Scene episode, Paul, Kieran and I continue to celebrate the 50th birthday of 'Jaws'- which came out exactly 50 years ago today - with a conversation on the final stretch of the Spielberg classic. So we're covering Quint's death (spoiler!) and the death of the shark (double spoiler!!)

Okay, Jaws turns 50 years old this very day - the film being released in the USA on June 20th 1975. Since this is a film very near and dear to us, we decided to mark this birthday by talking about the film once again. So, this is a One Perfect Scene episode, where Kieran, Paul and I talk about the unforgettable scene where young Alex Kintner is killed by the shark, towards the start of the film.

This week on the podcast, Kieran and I wrap up our series one coverage of Andor (and dance around not spoiling season two) with a discussion on the episodes 'Daughter of Ferrix' and 'Rix Road', which together make up the final arc of the season.

Here we go again! Paul, Kieran and I continue our Andor coverage by discussing the third arc in this show: the prison arc. That means we are talking about four episodes- 'Announcement', 'Narkina 5', 'Nobody's Listening!' and 'One Way Out'. 

Okay, in this episode Paul, Kieran and I continue our Andor coverage by discussing the second arc in this fantastic Star Wars show: the heist arc. This is comprised of three episodes: 'Aldhani', 'The Axe Forgets' and 'The Eye', so we talk about these episodes, the recent series two trailer, fascism, Only Fools and Horses - the usual. Oh, and we'll be back soon to talk about the prison arc!

Since we are fast approaching the release of season two of the show, Kieran, Paul and I finally sat down to talk about the fantastic Star Wars show, Andor. And since we really liked this show, we're going to take our sweet time discussing this bad boy, so this in this episode we only talk about the first three episodes ('Kassa', 'That Would Be Me' and 'Reckoning'), which make up the recruitment arc. We'll be back soon to talk about the heist arc!

Hello! Today on the show Kieran, Paul and I have a focused chat on the Holdo maneuver sequence from Rian Johnson's 'The Last Jedi'. It's a scene we were all big fans of when the film came out and remain so today, and there was a lot to chew on with this (one) perfect scene. Expect talk on the career of Laura Dern too!

I'm planning on doing a bunch of Star Wars coverage in 2025, so I figured why not kick off the year by re-releasing our Holiday Special episode, which Kieran, Paul and I recorded back in 2018 for the sister podcast Easy Riders Raging Podcast, as part of its 1970s series.

In this episode, Kieran and I continue our ongoing Star Wars coverage with a discussion on the recent Disney+ show, The Acolyte. We also try to take the pulse of what's going on with the franchise in general (which may have dated slightly since we recorded this because Lucasfilm is continually announcing/cancelling projects on a daily basis). 

Continuing our MCU coverage, this week Kieran and I discuss the latest Marvel show, Agatha All Along, and we have much to discuss, including the Young Avengers, the chances that the Scarlet Witch will return for more movies, why I should never be put in charge of a reality TV show, a programme no-one remembers except Kieran and me and much, much more.

In this episode Kieran and I discuss the Marvel mini-series Secret Invasion (we recorded this a couple of days after the finale aired back in the summer of 2023). We have a lot of thoughts on this show (and the state of the MCU circa July 2023). This episode was recorded as a Patreon exclusive episode (over at https://www.patreon.com/ErrP) but now it's free to listen to, for your audio entertainment. Enjoy!

In this episode (recorded back in the summer of 2023)- continuing our MCU coverage- Paul and I discuss 'Spider-Man: Far From Home' from director Jon Watts. Along the way we also give some thoughts on the future of Tom Holland's Spider-Man, as well as taking the pulse of the MCU circa summer 2023 and recalling some terrible karaoke. This episode was recorded as a Patreon exclusive episode (over at https://www.patreon.com/ErrP) but now it's free to listen to, for your audio entertainment. Enjoy!

An adventure 65 million years in the making!!! So, today I finally sat down and edited the conversation Kieran and I had about about Steven Spielberg's 'West Side Story' that we recorded way way back in May 2022. Apologies for taking so long to get to this but I hope you enjoy the conversation. (I'm going to get to 'The Fablemans' too- I promise!) Oh, and if you want to check out our conversation on the original 'West Side Story', this is available on the sister podcast- Easy Riders Raging Podcast- and was one of our earliest episodes.

This episode completes our trio of X-Men 'One Perfect Scene' episodes, as Kieran joins me to discuss the Quicksilver kitchen scene from 'X-Men: Days of Future Past', where Evan Peters plays a mutant speedster who runs around the room, soundtracked by Jim Croce's 'Time in a Bottle'. (Also, the name of the unnamed actor we talk about for a spell is Clark Duke)

This week- once again, ahead of the release of 'Deadpool and Wolverine', it's another X-Men related One Perfect Scene. This time around it's me and my good friend Kieran discussing the scene where Erik Lensher (played by Michael Fassbender) goes to Argentina and wrecks shop in a sleepy pub, from Matthew Vaughn's 'X-Men: First Class'.

This week- ahead of the release of 'Deadpool and Wolverine', I've returned to the One Perfect Scene format for this solo chat on the opening to 'X2' (AKA X-Men 2),  which sees Nightcrawler (played by Alan Cumming) attack the White House.
