This episode- recorded... uh.... about a week after the UK election- sees Paul, Kieran and I in a very, very good mood as we sit down to discuss the final James Bond film starring Roger Moore, 'A View To A Kill'. And we have much to discuss including: quiches, my fear of being run over by an invisible car, Dick van Dyke, going undercover in a crab-shack and what exactly is 'a view to a kill'.

Okay, little backstory to this epsiode. On the sister podcast- the SpielbergPod (and the Patreon feed over at www.patreon.com/ERRP)- occassionally we do 'One Perfect Scene' epiosdes, where we discuss perfect scenes from films. Anyway, today's episode of ERRP is one of these, so it's me and Paul just* talking about one scene from James Cameron's 'Aliens' (*obvioulsly we talk a bunch about the the Alien franchise in general from the '79 original to Romulus, which comes out soon).

And the specific scene we are talking about sees characters discuss the facehugger eggs (foreshadowing the queen) and Riply confronts Burke. Oh, and to compiicate things further, the scene is slightly different in the Director's Cut version of the film to the theatrical one, so we touch on both iterations of the scene.

In this episode- recorded late 2023- Paul and I return to the filmography of Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger, with a discussion on 'Conan the Barbarian'.

In this episode Paul and I return to the world of DC Comics with a lively discussion on 'Superman II'. (Note- eagle eared listeners may note I claim that Richard Donner directed the film 'Santa Claus: The Movie' and, upon review, it turns out I was talking complete rubbish).

In this episode- also recorded late 2023- Paul and I discuss the David Lean classic, 'Brief Encounter'. You can expect talk of trains, classic film romances and Bath buns.

In this episode- recorded late 2023- Paul and I once again discuss the work of Alfred Hitchcock with this this conversation on 'Rope', a film right up there with the best of Hitch's oeuvre.

In this episode- recorded last summer- I finally return to the wonderful world of 1940s cinema and- in particular- to the work of Yasujirō Ozu (the director of 'Tokyo Story') with a solo conversation about his 1949 film, 'Late Spring' (a film well worth watching, if you get the chance). And even though it's a short episode I find time to talk about a number of things but- in particualr- I look at this film from a queer perspective. I also have things to say about The Game of Life.

Shaken AND stirred, Kieran, Paul and I are back once again to talk about James Bond with this week's episode on 'Octopussy'. A film, it's fair to say, we have many issues with. Oh, and after Paul has to depart, late in the episode, Kieran and I take stock of the rumours surrounding Aaron Taylor-Johnson maybe being the new 007.
