Easy Riders Raging Podcast

Now in our fourth series, we're back and this time around we're talking 1980s films of all shapes and sizes. But not just that, we've got eps on 80s TV, and music videos and more! As ever our episodes include trademark features such as Recastarama (where we recast the film using current actors) and Who Am I (where we work out who we would be in the film). Lots of fun to be had. [Our 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and 1970s series are also available]

Now displaying: July, 2023

From Star Wars to Saturday Night Fever, to The Godfather and Grease, Annie Hall and Alien, the 1970s was THE decade for great movies. Here at Easy Riders Raging Podcast we're looking back at all the classics of the decade, discussing the films of Scorsese, Friedkin, Coppola, Altman, De Palma and many many more. Aside from our discussions, each episode includes some of our trademark features such as Recastarama (where we recast the film using current actors) and Who Am I (where we work out who we would be in the film). Lots of fun to be had. [Our 1960s series is also available]

21- Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1980s) 0
Jul 23, 2023

In this episode Kieran, Paul and I kick off #mysummerofstartrek with coverage of 'Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan' from director Nicholas Meyer. And 'what is #mysummerofstartrek' I hear you ask, why it's us covering all the 1980s Star Trek films over the coming month or two (maybe delving into some Trek TV too....).

Just as a bit of backstory to the ep, Paul and Kieran are long-time Trekkies while I am not (I make several X-Men comparisons in this episode as that was my franchise rather than this). Back in 2017 (I think) we covered 'Star Trek: The Motion Picture' as part of our 1970s coverage- that was the first time I had seen that film and likewise, this was my first watch of Wrath of Khan (I watched all the Prime Universe films just prior to recording this episode). So join us next time for.....  'Star Trek III: The Search for Spock'!

Oh, and shoutout to friends of the podcast Spocklight: A Star Trek Podcast who get mentioned during the podcast, who do great coverage of all the Star Trek films and the different TV shows too. Recommended listening!

20- Blackadder II: Bells (1980s, British sitcoms #4) 0
Jul 2, 2023

In this episode Paul, Kieran and I pick back up with our Blackadder coverage by discussing 'Bells', the first episode from series two. You can expect discussion on how the episode handles gay panic,
talk of nudity in the theatre and quotes. Lots of quotes.

3- The Cat Concerto (1940s, Tom and Jerry #1) 0
Jul 1, 2023

In this episode Kieran, Paul and I pick back up with our Tom and Jerry coverage with a discussion on 'The Cat Concerto' from 1947 from directors William Hanna and Joseph Barbera.

2- Pinocchio (1940s, Disney #1) 0
Jul 1, 2023

In this episode Paul and I get back into our ongoing conversation on Disney by discussing 'Pinocchio'.

1- Citizen Kane (1940s) 0
Jul 1, 2023

In this episode we kick off season 5 of the show- this time around discussing films from the 1940s. And don't worry- as I explain in the intro- this series is designed to run alongside our 1980s season so there's plenty more 80s coverage to come. We begin this new decade with Kieran and I discussing one of the all-time greats, 'Citizen Kane' from Orson Welles. You can expect comparisons to Succession, talk of The Simpsons (obviously), discussion over whether Kane and Leland were sleeping with each other and much more!
