  • 30 - DON QUIXOTE (2018) - TERRY GILLIAM
    Nov 28 2025

    Hi there adventurer, we round out our wanderings through the strange world of Terry Gilliam movies with his 2018 mulligan THE MAN WHO KILLED DON QUIXOTE. So join Jeff and Colin as one of them probably mispronounces the name of the main character, they both attempt ill-advised and borderline actionable Spanish accents, and get side tracked by the time Johnny Vaughan tricked a bunch of people into thinking they were going to space.

  • 29 - DOCTOR PARNASSUS (2009) - TERRY GILLIAM
    Oct 21 2025

    Hello, join us as we work our way through the turbulent waters of TERRY GILLIAM films, a man with unbounded imagination that often comes up against real world problems. In DR. PARNASSUS he (not for the first time) came up against the problem of his main character dying halfway through filming, so had to come up with some crafty solutions to navigate his way around it. Problem is that the film, as inventive as it is, has a real problem (not for the first time) with women and how old they are... its a bit crook.

  • 28 - BARON MUNCHAUSEN (1988) - TERRY GILLIAM
    Oct 8 2025

    Hey everybody!


    After a lengthy hiatus we are back, and will be so with new episodes every couple of weeks from now on. This time around we are looking at Terry Gilliam films, though at the time of recording we hadn't realised that yet, Instead we intended to do "The Adventure of..." films, but then accidentally chose two Terry Gilliam films (The Baron, and Dr. Parnassus), so abandoned that plan, swapped out The Secret Life of Walter Mitty with Don Quixote, and treated ourselves to a Gilliam trilogy. So join us on our adventures, cuz things are about to get weird.

    Feb 24 2025

    Welcome back to the pod, y'all. We've been away for a bit but we're back and this time we're finishing off our deep dive into 80s gamer movies with 1983's WARGAMES. So join Colin and Jeff as they discuss the movie while getting sidetracked by, Matthew Broderick's dark past, the correct pronunciation of "trajectory," shitty BT phoneboxes, and a channel 4 drama about a videogame that kills people.

  • 26 - THE LAST STARFIGHTER (1984) - 80s GAMERS - PART TWO
    Oct 20 2024

    Join Colin and Jeff as they look back at a cult classic and find that they don't make 'em like they used to and that might be a good thing. In this they discuss whining protagonists, holographic speaker phones, anime cat girls with too many ears, and a magical set of pipes.

    Sep 8 2024

    Salutations Pragrammes, and welcome back to TROPE ON A ROPE, we end our hiatus by uploading ourselves into the world of 80s Gamer movies. Dial up internet using rotary phones, computers the size of rooms, and computer sounding words thrown hither and thither. With TRON ARES looming on the horizon, we look back at the original 1982 movie TRON.


    So join us as we discuss all things TRON, including TRON LEGACY, get distracted by Doki Doki Literature Club, Tomb Raider and a little film called SURFACE. Also listen as Colin struggles with the word "geometric."

  • 24 - THE GREATEST BEER RUN EVER (2022) - THE VIETNAM WAR - PART THREE
    May 5 2024

    Hi there, sorry for the break since the last episode, but we're back, and we've actually got a bit of a backlog. So lets get back to business by rounding out the final part of our look at the Vietnam War with 2022's Apple film THE GREATEST BEER RUN EVER, based on a true story that I learned of from a great podcast called Do Go On, which is linked here (listen to our one first though).

  • 23 - CASUALTIES OF WAR (1989) - THE VIETNAM WAR - PART TWO
    Mar 19 2024

    When we picked 1989's Casualties of War to watch as part of this series it was because it's a great film, the problem is it's a heavy film. One slightly too heavy for what is supposed to be a comedy podcast, but soldier on we must... there was a pun there. Anyway, although we try to find levity where we can, this film, and therefore this podcast episode covers some uncomfortable subjects.
