  • Summary

  • Sam and Boris love films, books, TV, music and every form of culture you can name. The thing is that Sam has seemingly seen and experienced way more of it. Every time Sam finds out that Boris has no idea about a piece of media Sam thinks everyone knows about, Sam simply cannot contain his amazement. The two of them have decided to share (in podcast form) their journeys through and encounters with culture that one or both of them may be unfamiliar with. Their adventures will consist of discussion, analysis, trivia and reconsidering what really makes a piece of media culturally significant. You can look forward to hearing examples of their unorthodox senses of humour, love of completely useless information and capacity to deliver endless hot takes. To paraphrase Darth Vader - "They would be honoured if you would join them..." (hopefully that's one they've both seen).

    09: Waking Ned Devine - a (Re)Encounter
    Jun 3 2024
    For this episode of (Re)Encounters, Sam and Boris are hopping over to the picturesque village of Tulaigh Mhór (Tullymore) to discuss the 1998 sleeper hit Waking Ned, otherwise known as Waking Ned Devine. The podcasting duo discusses the significance of the film and its wide-reaching appeal both in the British Isles and in the United States, as well as the depictions of rural life in Ireland in the late 90s. Of course, Boris and Sam also go into detail about the humourous side of a film dealing with death and an aging community - it may sound like an unlikely combination, but it makes sense in the end (just about). Have you seen or heard of this piece of Irish cinematic history before? Get in touch with us on Instagram (@reencounters) or email (reencounterspodcast@gmail.com) and let us know - we'll be waiting with a glass of whisky for you when you do.

    Wait, Boris hasn't seen this film?! Well, he has now - and, boy, does he have opinions! Join our two fabulous hosts as they discuss an equally fabulous movie of the 1960s - some might say the movie musical of its day - My Fair Lady. After sharing their expectations as well as some key information about the film and its continued success, Sam and Boris focus on some of the elements which make this movie musical such a delight to watch, including lavish costuming, intricate set building and juicy casting tea. So put on your fakest Cockney accent and your most extravagant dress to go watch horses run and gallop in circles alongside the (Re)Encounters team! Just beware the rain in Spain.

    07: Van Helsing - a (Re)Encounter
    Apr 1 2024
    Returning from their two-month long hiatus, Sam and Boris debut a new model for the (Re)Encounters podcast by discussing the 2004 hilarious CGI nightmare known as Van Helsing! While the hosts couldn't help but laugh at and critique some of the stilted dialogue and dated special effects, they also acknowledge the cultural significance of the Gothic genre and classic monster movies on this film with figures like Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster and The Wolfman. But don't worry - despite the changes to the previous format, the hosting duo still retain their cutting commentary and moments of boisterous laughter; you're in good hands - unlike the future of the Universal Classic Monster Cinematic Universe... As always, get in touch with us over Instagram (@reencounters) or via email (reencounterspodcast@gmail.com) and share your thoughts and opinions on the new format. We promise we don't bite - but we do wear fabulous capes.
