  • 116. 33.3 Light Sleeper | Paul Scharder's Night Worker Trilogy

    01:15:34||Ep. 116
    The night is always darkest before the dawn folks! And it was a dark day in the Tripod booth because it was the end of another TRILOGY! On this episode of Tripod, the boys discuss one of Paul Schrader's less heralded films: Light Sleeper, starring Willem Dafoe and Susan Sarandon. A film that explores paranoia, ennui and aimlessness in the concrete jungle of NYC. Is this film all one big metaphor for a mid-life crisis? And how does this film fit amongst Taxi Driver and American Gigolo, the previous instalments of the Night Worker Trilogy? Tune in to this very focused, very well researched, EXTREMELY locked in episode of Tripod to find out.Follow us at @tripod_showGet in touch at mattandtyrie@gmail.comArtwork by Jack Mierswww.jackmiers.com@jackmiers@jackandjosh
  • 115. 33.2 American Gigolo | Paul Schrader's Night Worker Trilogy

    01:43:46||Ep. 115
    Oh yeeeeh! The night is still young listeners, and this week Tyrie and Matt are cruising down into the sleek, chic and sexy L.A. The city of angels, stars and the hottest American Gigolo...Richard Gere. The podbrothers chat about writer/director Paul Shrader's creative process, the hugely influential production and costume design of this 1980 film, and of course, whether or not Richard Gere has 'pig' eyes. We're so sorry Richard. Enjoy! Follow us at @tripod_showGet in touch at mattandtyrie@gmail.comArtwork by Jack Mierswww.jackmiers.com@jackmiers@jackandjosh
  • 114. 33.1 Taxi Driver | Paul Schrader's Night Worker Trilogy

    01:38:13||Ep. 114
    The Tripod boys are pulling an all nighter as they discuss TAXI DRIVER the first film in Paul Schrader's Night Worker Trilogy... Which is technically a series, but we don't have the budget to cover more than three films. That's kinda our whole thing. The discussion covers a wide range of topics while diving into the mind of cinema's most notorious protagonist, Travis Bickle.

  • 113. Reel Quick | Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie

    01:06:33||Ep. 113
    Two friends cover a film about two friends. I refuse to elaborate further! WHAT?! It's a new episode of Reel Quick and they're covering what will certainly be one of the best films of the year: Nirvana the Band the Show the Movie.
  • 112. 32.3 Vertigo | Hitchcock's Relationship Trilogy

    01:52:37||Ep. 112
    Vertigo. One of the most famous movies ever made. Tyrie loved it. Matt did not. Hilarity, debate and analysis ensues...hopefully. The pod-brothers also wrap up the Oscars (we know it's old news get off our backs!), and conclude the Hitchcock/Stewart Relationship trilogy by discussing the links (if any) between the three films covered and of course their rankings!
