    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]

    41- Prince of Darkness (feat. The GenX Show, 1980s, John Carpenter #4)

    41- Prince of Darkness (feat. The GenX Show, 1980s, John Carpenter #4)

    In this episode, recorded back in December, I was delighted to be joined by Jeff Morton- host of the fantastic The GenX Show- to discuss the life and career of filmmaker John Carpenter, with particular focus on his 1987 film, 'Prince of Darkness'. This was a great opportunity to continue our ongoing look at Carpenter's movies (we have covered several of his films at this point) and it was great to finally sit down and record an episode with Jeff. I've no idea why we didn't do this sooner but I look forward to bringing him back again for another chat.

    Up next: Episode 300!

    37- Ghostbusters (feat. Dave Corkery from The Cinemile and Liam Dempsey from Spocklight: A Star Trek Podcast, 1980s)

    37- Ghostbusters (feat. Dave Corkery from The Cinemile and Liam Dempsey from Spocklight: A Star Trek Podcast, 1980s)

    In this episode- recorded just before Christmas- I'm joined by not one but two very special guests to discuss a very special film. The film in question- which incidentally turns 40 years old this year(!)- is 'Ghostbusters' from director Ivan Reitman. My fantastic guests are Dave Corkery from The Cinemile podcast and Liam Dempsey, one of the hosts of Spocklight: A Star Trek Podcast. And the three of us are all huge fans of this movie and we could have easily talked for double the length of this episode on our thoughts and feelings for this stone cold classic and the films which have proceeded it (we even touch briefly on 'Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire' which comes out later this year).

    36- Batman (1980s)

    36- Batman (1980s)

    This week Paul and I dance with the devil in the pale moonlight by discussing Tim Burton's 'Batman' and Paul is the perfect guest to discuss this film as he's a big fan of The Caped Crusader; so he talks about how he got into the character, his history with the comics, the various movies and we basically have a great chat about a classic comic book movie.

    61- The Pink Panther & A Shot in the Dark (1960s)

    In this solo episode- recorded back in late 2022- I talk about 'The Pink Panther' and its follow-up 'A Shot in the Dark', both from director Blake Edwards and starring Peter Sellers in his iconic role of Inspector Jacques Closeau.

    60- Thunderbirds: Trapped in the Sky (1960s)

    In this episode- recorded back in 2021 (I believe during the super long Lockdown #3)- Kieran, Paul and I delve back into our childhood with a discussion on 'Trapped in the Sky', the first episode of Thunderbirds.

    59- Amblin' (1960s, Steven Spielberg #1)

    59- Amblin' (1960s, Steven Spielberg #1)

    This episode is another return to the archives from my original podcast, the SpielbergPod, with discussion on Steven Spielberg's short film Amblin' from 1968 (which you can watch for free on YouTube, if you're interested). Just to note, this episode was recorded back in March or April 2020 and it was the first podcast we recorded remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    58- Stereo (1960s)

    58- Stereo (1960s)

    In this episode I dipped my toe into the weird world of director David Cronenberg with a solo review of one of his earliest works: 'Stereo'. Spoiler for this episode but I didn't really like the film but I found it to be an interesting work to deconstruct.

    57- For a Few Dollars More (1960s)

    57- For a Few Dollars More (1960s)

    Recorded back in Autumn 2022 (hence the super dated opening), this episode finally saw Kieran and I complete our coverage of Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy with a discussion on the western classic, 'For a Few Dollars More' (having covered 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly' back in 2017 and 'A Fistful of Dollars' in- I think- 2019).
