This week Jev and I try to fill a Sylvester Stallone shaped hole in our 1980s movie coverage with a discussion on bonkers cop film 'Cobra'.

This week Mark and I discuss the mermaid romantic comedy 'Splash'. Along the way we discuss the careers of one of the film's leads (Tom Hanks) and it's director (Ron Howard). We also discuss infamous movie extras, New York on screen and the film's wild ending, as well as talking at length about the tv show Through the Keyhole.

Happy weekend everyone! In this episode, which comes with a pre-music introduction...., Paul and I discuss the Nick Park animation 'A Grand Day Out', which was the introduction of beloved characters Wallace & Gromit.

This week we return to the archives of the SpielbergPod with a DVD commentary style conversation Kieran and I had back in 2020 - recorded smack-bang in the middle of the pandemic- on the Don Bluth animated film, 'An American Tail'.

In this episode, I sat down on a muggy Sunday afternoon for a solo chat about police comedy 'Police Academy 3: Back in Training'. Note- there are no swears in here and the conversation isn't adult. I do talk about the X-Men though, a handful of times.

In this episode, I sat down on a grey Saturday afternoon for a solo chat about cop comedy sequel 'Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment'. Note- there are no swears in here and the conversation isn't adult. At least, that's not how I remember it.

In this episode, I sat down on a rainy Sunday afternoon for a solo chat about cop comedy 'Police Academy'. Note- there are no swears in here but there is adult conversation in the backend of the episode.

In this episode - which was recorded a year or two ago and has been sat in my 'to-edit pile' - Jev, Paul and I draw our broadswords and go to battle over the Russell Mulcahy fantasy action film, 'Highlander'.

This week's episode is another one from our SpielbergPod archives, so it's a conversation between Paul and I on the John McTiernan film, 'Predator'. Listeners should note, this is a conversation from 2015 or 2016 and so, unsurprisingly, we make no reference to the films 'Prey' or 'Predator: Badlands' as those films were still many years away at the time (we don't even reference the awful Shane Black film 'The Predator' as this even predates that coming out).

In this short solo episode I continue our Stanley Kubrick coverage with a look at his Vietnam War film, 'Full Metal Jacket'.
