Spielbergpod - The Steven Spielberg Film Podcast

In this episode, featuring very special guests Daryl and Jeanette from Sudden Double Deep, I wrap up my Marvel Phase 2 coverage with a fantastic episode on Peyton Reed's 'Ant-Man'. And for a film about a tiny guy, we have a huge amount to discuss from the Edgar Wright of it all, Michael Douglas' cancer, de-aging in film, the career of Judy Greer (that ryhmes!), great British chocolate bars, X-Men costumes, clapping for the Avengers and much, much more. Join me later in the year for Marvel Phase 3 coverage!

In this episode I continue the MCU Phase 2 coverage with an episode on the 2015 Joss Whedon film, 'Avengers: Age of Ultron'. My very special guest this time around is Empire Magazine's Amon Warmann and we have much to discuss as we find common ground as far as the pros and cons of this movie.

In this episode- part of our Marvel Phase 2 coverage- I'm joined once again by Liam and Matt, two of the hosts of the fantastic Star Trek podcast Spocklight to talk about James Gunn's 'Guardians of the Galaxy'. We find much to discuss in this episode, including the influences on the film and how Quill seems to be a combination of all the great movie heroes, the vocal stylings of Mr Bradley Cooper, the fall from grace of Chris Pratt, 'It's Always Sunny in Space' and much, much more.

On your left! In this episode I continue my festive MCU Phase 2 coverage as Kobi Omenaka joins me to watch the second Cap film, 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier'. You can expect some singing, lots of talk about 90s Australian TV shows and much, much more as we delve into one of Marvel's best movies.

In this episode I continue the Phase 2 MCU coverage with a discussion on the second Thor movie, 'Thor: The Dark World'. Joining me for this conversation is a very special guest, podcasting legend Petros Patsilivas, host of the Nicolas Cage/ Coppola family podcast Caged In. And we have much to discuss including a disastrous trip to the loft, relating far too much to the ending of Infinity War, a Disney+ TV show idea featuring the Ian character and much, much more.

It's Christmas and so the SpielberPod is picking back up with our MCU coverage with a festive run of episodes on the Phase 2 films. We begin with a very special guest, why, it's Chris Hewitt from The Empire Film Podcast who joins me for a cracking discussion on Shane Black's 'Iron Man 3'.

This week I went to the theatre to see 'Back to the Future the Musical' and decided to record an episode of the SpielbergPod to gather my thoughts on the show (Please note- I make it clear when I'm getting into 'spoiler territory', in case you are thinking of going to see the show).

This week there's more ER chat as Kieran and I discuss the seventh episode of the second season, 'Hell and High Water'. This is easily one of the shows most popular episodes, which sees Dr Ross (George Clooney) trying to save a child trapped in a storm drain. (Note. The ER episode I recommend Kieran but can't remember the title of was 'Love's Labor Lost')

In this episode I'm joined by Jev to kick off a run of television associated with Steven Spielberg. We begin with a discussion on the ER episode '24 Hours', which was the very first episode of that show.

In this episode Kieran and I return to the Jurassic franchise and to our DVD commentary format, as we look at 'Jurassic World' through 2021 eyes.

In this episode- where I'm joined by Jake, Kieran and Paul- we wrap up this mini-series on the films of the MCU Phase One by discussing the Joss Whedon film, 'The Avengers'. Expect more than a little conversation on 'Justice League' (including my thoughts on upcoming The Synder Cut), a recasting of the film were being directed by Wes Anderson, lots of Buffy comparisons, jokes about Hawkeye, life with Maria Hill and much, much more.

In this episode I'm joined by Paul to discuss 'Captain America: The First Avenger' as part of our Marvel/ MCU Phase One coverage. Expect spoilers for future Marvel films (up to the end of Phase Three) as well as criticism and praise for the film, me comparing the Tory Party with the Nazis and also Paul pondering life as a member of Hydra.

This week I'm delighted to be joined by special guest David Trumble to discuss the Kenneth Branagh film 'Thor', as part of my festive mini-series of bonus episodes covering the films of the MCU Phase One. Expect talk of The Lion King, Hemsworth's beard, the British royal family, Loki being a 'Snape looking mother-fucker' and much more.

In this episode Jev returns to the SpielbergPod for the first time since our Die Hard coverage back in 2016, as we discuss Jon Favreau's 'Iron Man 2', as part of our festive Marvel coverage.

This episode I'm joined by Liam, Matt and Paul- better known as the hosts of Star Trek podcast Spocklight- to discuss 'The Incredible Hulk' as part of my Marvel Phase One coverage.

In this episode we kick of a festive mini-series looking at the films from Phase 1 of the MCU (the Marvel Cinematic Universe). For this one I'm joined by my co-host Kieran to discuss Jon Favreau's 'Iron Man' (warning- we do spoil future MCU films on these podcasts, so please be aware of that if you haven't seen them).

This episode is a return to our DVD commentary format as Kieran and I talk about the Don Bluth classic 'An American Tail'.

Okay, buckle your seatbelts, listeners as I return to the wonderful world of Steve Spielberg, specifically his film 'Duel', but this time around approaching it slightly different to the way Kieran and I talked about it in 2015 (yes, it was that many years ago).  This time around I'm doing it as a DVD commentary, so it's uninterrupted audio with no edits, which means you can expect more than a few tangents. Enjoy!

In this episode, recorded over the internet as we self-isolate, Paul, Kieran and I discuss Amblin', Steven Spielberg's short film from 1968 (which you can watch for free on YouTube, if you're interested).

In this episode Kieran and I conclude our three episode mini-series on director Damien Chazelle with a discussion on his film, 'First Man' which stars Ryan Gosling as astronaut Neil Armstong and Claire Foy as his wife, Janet.
