Season's greetings everyone! Being that it's the festive season, I figured why not share the love and make public our Patreon episode (formerly an exclusive over at https://www.patreon.com/ErrP) on the Chuck Jones animation 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas!' based on the book by Dr. Seuss. Enjoy!
Hello! It occurred to me that it was five years ago that I uploaded this anecdote packed episode on 'Carry On Camping' to https://www.patreon.com/ErrP. And since that's a nice round number- and we're between seasons- I figured why not upload it to the main feed. Oh and RIP to Dame Barbara Windsor who has sadly passed since the release of the episode. She really was a British institution.
Happy Halloween everyone! Being that it's the season of monsters and darkness, I decided that- while we're between series 3 and 4 of the podcast- I'd share this episode on cult horror-film 'Phantasm', which had formerly been a Patreon exclusive over on https://www.patreon.com/ErrP. Enjoy!
With help from The Projection Booth Podcast, For Your Reconsideration, Is Paul Dano OK? and Caged In, Campbell, Kieran and I say goodbye to the 50s with a long delayed (we recorded this back at the end of the summer of love- 2021) Oscars-style awards ceremony celebrating the best of the decades.
In this episode- recorded I think during that long third wave of COVID- Paul, Kieran and I discuss 'Singin' in the Rain' by Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly. And with this episode we wrap up our run of eps on musical films AND it's also our last 1950s film (for now......). Join us next time for our wrap up episode for season 3- The Easies awards vol. 3!!!

This week's episode- part of our mini-series on 1950s musicals- was recorded back in the early days of the pandemic (around June 2020, I believe). In it we discuss 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers' from director Stanley Donen.

In this episode a trio of podcasters discuss a trio of Looney Tunes cartoons- 'Birds Anonymous', 'Knighty Knight Bugs' and 'Devil May Hare'- from directors Friz Freleng and Robert McKimson. And these shorts were picked to give us a chance to discuss three characters we'd yet to discuss on the podcast (Tweetie Pie, Yosemite Sam and the Tasmanian Devil- perhaps better known as Taz).
