This week Kieran, Paul and I return to a Spielberg classic by discussing the Nepal sequence from 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'. This gives us a chance to talk about visual storytelling, subtle screenwriting, shots, ponderous walks, fleshing out the character of Indiana Jones and the introductions of Marion Ravenwood and Major Arnold Toht. Oh, and running the one minute mile too.

This week- so this was early September 2025- 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! This episode was originally released via my original podcast, the SpielbergPod, as part of it's ongoing Star Wars coverage.

In this episode we complete our 80s dance trilogy (!!!) with a discussion on 'Flashdance'. Along the way we find much to question about the film (including whether her dog was stoned), we ponder how we would fix the movie (including Marks suggestion of removing the pop music and dancing!), we talk nepo babies (including Kieran's thoughts on them) and we chat The Decline of Western Civilization (including the 1981 documentary of the same name).

This week we continue our 80s dance trilogy of episodes (!!!) as Paul, Mark, Kieran and I discuss the film 'Footloose'. Along the way we discuss potato rated trauma, talk about the Michael Cimino version of this film, the 'fatness' of Fat Cowboy, a fictional Party of Five revival, the decline of NCP Car Parks and obviously, I make a food-based comparison to the film.

In this episode Kieran, Mark and I kick off our 80s dance trilogy of episodes (!!!) with a conversation about iconic period drama, 'Dirty Dancing'. Expect references to watermelon, corners and having the time of your life.

In this episode Kieran and I discuss the iconic Johnny B. Goode scene from Robert Zemeckis' 'Back to the Future'. This episode originally aired on the sister podcast to ERRP, the SpielbergPod, coming out in 2025, just after this film's 40th birthday.

Opinions differ and unlikely companion pieces are given this week as Paul, Mark, Kieran and I continue our James Bond coverage- and wrap up the tenure of Timothy Dalton- with a discussion on 'Licence to Kill'.

This week Kieran, Mark and I pick back up with our Bond coverage by discussing the non-Eon James Bond film 'Never Say Never Again'. Now, eagle-eared listeners may note there is a 'technical issue' with the audio for the first two and a half minutes of this episode, but at that point it gets addressed.... 

In this, our 100th 1980s episode of Easy Riders Raging Podcast, I take the opportunity not just to break down what I think are the key aspects of the Martin Scorsese masterpiece 'Raging Bull' (it's autobiographic nature for the director, examination of brotherhood, etc.) but I also take the time to reflect on the history of the podcast.

This week on the podcast Kieran and I discuss Bill Forsyth's 'Local Hero', a film neither of us had seen before, and one which divided the two of us. Along the way we talk quirky vs irksome, Kieran savages 'Asteroid City' and raves about 'Bait', my punk rock youth (or lack thereof), and we compare this film to 'Kraven the Hunter'.
