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]

    68- The Shining: All Work And No Play Makes Jack A Dull Boy (1980s, One Perfect Scene, Stanley Kubrick #9, Stephen King #3)

    Hello! In this One Perfect Scene episode, Paul and I tackle the scene in 'The Shining' where Wendy reads her husband's derranged writings (All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy) and builds to their conflict on the stairs. A masterful sequence from Stanely Kubrick that gives us much to chew on.

    84- Ikiru (1950s)

    In this episode- recorded back in late 2022- Kieran and I return to the 1950s with a discussion on 'Ikiru' from director Akira Kurosawa. And if you've never seen this film, it's a masterpiece. A solid gold classic. This episode was recorded as a Patreon exclusive episode (over at https://www.patreon.com/ErrP) but now it's free to listen to, for your audio entertainment. Enjoy!

    83- The Quatermass Xperiment (1950s)

    In this episode (recorded on Alien Day in 2023) Kieran, Paul and I return to the 1950s to discuss 'The Quatermass Xperiment', a cracking British sci-fi horror movie from director Val Guest. Along the way we find time to discuss Dame Thora Hird, how electricity works, the Species films, 'trains stuff' and the (then) upcoming royal coronation.

    82- Early Summer (1950s)

    In this solo episode on the film 'Early Summer', I complete the ERRP coverage of Yasujirō Ozu's 'Noriko trilogy'. And there is much to talk about with this movie: how it compares/ differs from the director's earlier work 'Late Spring', visual metaphors the filmmaker uses and how I personally relate to this story.

    67- Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom & Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1980s, Steven Spielberg #8)

    Okay, this week I once again return to the SpielbergPod archives and to three episodes recorded back in 2015/2016. And these cover 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' (which I covered with Jake), 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom' (which I discussed with Paul) and 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade' (which Kieran and I talked about). So obviously, these were recorded many, many years ago (before 'Dial of Destiny' was even a glint in James Mangold's eye) but there's still some absolute gold here. And some impressions which, while were genuinely done out of love for these films and these characters, haven't aged well. Soz.

    66- Nescafé Gold Blend: The Gold Blend Couple (1980s / 1990s, Classic advertisement #6)

    In this episode Kieran and I continue our coverage of classic advertisements with a look at the Nescafé ads featuring the Gold Blend couple (Anthony Head and Sharon Maughan). So you can expect lots of coffee chat (with a little tea talk thrown in for good measure), with Kieran having much to say about Australia's coffee culture. Oh, and the episode ends with the debut of the 90s theme music, as this episode is technically both an 80s ep AND a 90s episode.

    65- Blade Runner (1980s, Ridley Scott #4)

    In this episode Paul and I finally wrap up #ScottSeptember (yes, I know what the date is) with a conversation on the Ridely Scott masterpiece, 'Blade Runner'. And we have much to discuss....

    64- Someone to Watch Over Me & Roxy Music: Avalon (1980s, Ridley Scott #7, 80's Music videos #2)

    Happy weekend everyone! Today on the show- as part of #ScottSeptember- I talk about the Ridley Scott film 'Someone to Watch Over Me' and the Ridley Scott directed music video for 'Avalon' by Roxy Music. Two lesser talked about things in the career of the director that I thought it was intresting to find time to talk about during this mini-series. Anyway, next episode- it's 'Blade Runner'.
